Another time in a literary theory class, the teacher showed us a clip of an old TV series in which Wang Xifeng first appeared. After school, my roommate suddenly asked me what I thought of Wang Xifeng. I have mixed feelings. She suddenly said: I think you are very similar to Wang Xifeng.
It seems that I am a proud woman, you will not sing on the side of the road, you will only be below one person and above everyone in the Grand View Garden.
Jasmine in the movie is a proud woman. She dropped out of college and married a rich man who later found out that the rich man was a liar and committed suicide in prison after being arrested. The despondent Jasmine took refuge in her younger sister, whom she despised. During this process, she has been very proud and still looks down on everything in her sister's life. My sister's boyfriend, my sister's children, everything around my sister. She has always believed that she is a perfect woman and can definitely live the life she once had.
Jasmine was talking to an old lady next to her on the plane about her past, telling the old lady that when she and her husband first met, the background music was BLUE MOON; Jasmine, who had no money, still had to take first-class cabins and a taxi. Wearing LV's suitcase, vanity and snobbery; Jasmine is unwilling to accept the person introduced by her sister, she does not want to enter her sister's society, she has been disgusting; Jasmine is very reluctant to accept the requirements of work; Jasmine always talks about herself as a human being Scholar, Jasmine wants to be an interior designer; Jasmine lies all the time in order to hook up with a diplomat.
However, at the same time, Jasmine was deceived of her love and youth, and Jasmine’s adopted child also abandoned her. Jasmine had no one to rely on. She sat alone on a bench in the park, talking to herself, Jasmine was crazy in the end, What she talked about in her mouth was still those rich lives. Perhaps this is what the poor man must hate. The classification of the movie is in the comedy category, and I suspect one of the director's intentions was to satirize the gold worshipper?
However, the tragedy of Jasmine is not what kind of misfortunes and hardships she has encountered, but the tragedy of Jasmine is the pride she cannot let go.
Jasmine has always been so good, she was admitted to a good university, she married a very rich man, her life was so rich and happy, and the adopted children were also excellent. Jasmine's pride was deeply rooted. Suddenly one day, all of this was confiscated, and Jasmine had to live a hard life like the younger sister she looked down on, dealing with people at the bottom. How could Jasmine accept it? She was unwilling to admit everything in front of her, and Jasmine had only gone mad.
I remembered the first real setback in my life. When I was in the sixth grade of primary school, I went to a new school and was punished by the new Chinese teacher to practice calligraphy. I have always studied very well, and I have always been liked by teachers. It is difficult for me to accept that one day the punishment will fall on me. I cried on the spot, I thought it was an insult to me: I am such an excellent student, why should I practice calligraphy like those poor students. I still remember that the teacher was called Wang Meiju. After my emotional outburst, she talked to me a lot. "You can't make a piece of jade if you don't cut it." I only remember these two sentences at the end, but unfortunately at the time, I couldn't hear any criticism.
However, to this day, I regret that I didn't practice calligraphy well at that time. Teacher Wang Meiju, I'm sorry.
As I grow and experience, my world is bigger, I have more contacts, and I am more frustrated and educated. I already have a heart strong enough to accommodate all kinds of criticism, big and small. When life and environment have changed, but you can't keep up with this gap, this is a tragedy. People with too strong self-esteem will not have a happy life. When Jasmine was already at the bottom, she was still proud, which was a tragedy. And the originator of this pride was Jasmine's smooth life since her birth until her marriage broke down.
After college, I had many different experiences. I traveled alone, I used to ride in the hard-seat carriage of the Spring Festival train, I used to hand out flyers under the scorching sun on the street, I used to do promotions in the supermarket, and I used to go to tutor four times a week... ...I'm sorry, I'm not Wang Xifeng, why can't I sing by the roadside? I think it's just that in your eyes, I'm excellent, and I don't need to sing. I think, you think that I have the same ability as Wang Xifeng, the skills of life, and even the unbridled laughter when she comes on stage.
He has always been called a scholar and a god by college classmates. God, why are you so down? You should be a proud woman.
Why did Jasmine have smooth sailing in her previous life? That is because Jasmine's excellence is not fake, she is not conceited, she is indeed excellent. And she just knows her excellence, and her excellence tells her that she doesn't belong in that place, and she should have a better life. So in the face of the gap, she resisted everything and became crazy. However, my life was not smooth sailing, my high school was not a key class, and I once confessed to being rejected. I'm sorry, I'm not as good as you think, I've encountered many setbacks, I'm not proud, I'm not afraid of the gap.
There are so many uncertainties in the uncertain future, and Wang Xifeng's final end is embarrassing and miserable enough.
My sister also said: "You sing really hard!"
