This is a movie about urban love-deficiency anemia.
Langdon couldn't really get into a relationship because he didn't believe in long-term love. He said at dinner with a female colleague, how can you imagine that you have been living with one person all your life? Look at the old couples sitting at the dining table, they are all silent, because they are so tired of each other, they have nothing to say. His female colleague said, maybe they already have a good heart with each other and don't need to communicate with each other?
It can be seen from this that Fu Langdon's inner distrust of the outside world, his fear of long-term emotions, in short, is the loss of the courage and ability to give love.
Who are we not?
We, the gray people living in the gray city, are not able to show our sincerity to others after staying in a mask for a long time. "Whoever is serious will lose."
Maybe what happened to Langdon's childhood or teenage years, It made him no longer trust people, and only when he is a low-level prostitute can he vent his inner desires. Love is something that is too extravagant, maybe the topic, shame, because, the standard definition of society, defines sex as a thing that is regarded as shame, it is vulgar, dirty, and it is a low-level thing that cannot be revealed to the person you love Emotions, perhaps these powerful mainstream languages, suppress the overly sensitive people like Langdon, making them unable to reveal their true selves in the face of their loved ones, and this is the sadness of modernity: it castrates invisibly In the spirit, the self-evolution of people has resulted in the self-castration of people.
Langdon Fu and his sister are both emotionally rich people. Such people are in the superficial modern city, and they will not get the natural and mellow human feelings that belong to the ancient nomadic pastoral era. For this reason, they speak bitterly to each other. injury, self-harm. It's really just venting the pain of not getting enough love.
Speaking of which, it seems to be a bit of nonsense about modernity and postmodernity. If I have to pull this man's tragedy into the social background, I can say that it is because the modern society that advocates rationality has cut off the connection between people. People are always in a state of instability in modern society, and people cannot Give yourself an accurate definition, resulting in the lack of self-identity and confusion, etc.
What else can people trust? Nietzsche said that God is dead, we no longer trust God, and later, we do not trust friendship, family affection, and love, because all these are missing in the protagonist. He couldn't feel it, but he desperately needed family affection and love. The crying at the dock was a shocking inner explosion, which made us really feel the helplessness and hopelessness that could no longer be disguised.
God is absent, and there is nothing in the world but us worms crawling slowly on the ground in the dark.
