"I don't know why. I really want to know and understand what makes a person so obsessed with what he loves, yet he can resolutely say goodbye to years of pursuit and bravely start a new passion.

" The protagonist Susan has a pitiful and emotional reflection on the orchid thief John, and she comes to the conclusion that "he wants to have a controllable world." I know, at this moment, she is in love with him.

There is always a kind of charm about people who are in love and crazy that will attract you. Different from Zhang Yang, it will only make you dizzy when you are temporarily overwhelmed by his daggers. , want to take a look, take a look at his world, what makes this guy so fascinated? What qualities must he possess in such a desperate person? Or, must he have some story, either now or in the past?

People who put aside the world are often described as unrealistic people, like fairy tales, like the protagonists of inspirational stories when they were young, but they are also great people. People in suits and ties in the steel forest are fatally attracted every day. They (John) are our past, or a longing for the past, but they have become a sequela to us because of this and that. Yes, it is a sequelae, not a dream, nor any regret. Dreams are pessimistic and difficult to grasp and need to be followed all the time, but in fact, we often throw them in the corner of memory, and there is not much enthusiasm left; Sequelae, when such a person appears, sequelae strikes.

You compare yourself fiercely, but you are full of warmth, and you are inevitably a little lost but not hopeless, some slightly perverted thoughts, simply thinking about some problems, and then starting to be whimsical (in fact, you are out of your childhood dream), you are afraid of being He feels impersonal (worried that he is not on the same "level" as him) and starts to make up your "story", congratulations, you already want to break into his world.

You will be jealous of the things that make him obsessed, yes, jealousy, hope he can empathize, in fact, it is afraid that he will be too specific, and will also test her feelings about ordinary things. But also protective, you want to protect the world he can control.

The controllable world, while always in control and safe, is also fragile. The more monolithic the species, the more easily the ecosystems they live in are destroyed. Protection and jealousy are contradictory.

What attitude do they hold towards the foreigners who break in? Watchful yet contemptuous. In a safe environment, the intruder is the unsettling factor, and its tranquility and affection may be broken, but for the voyeur who wants to find out, they still have something to gain, but they still have it in their hearts. Despised, and this arrogant and naughty show style is a fatal attraction to others.

Maybe you will say, This kind of thinking is quite extreme thinking, but I have to point out that if you still want to maintain a high degree of various abilities in a controllable world, you still have to maintain a pure world at some point.

Telling you a secret and wondering how you can really grab their hearts? There is no definite answer, and maybe all you've done is in vain. But there is a way that may catch his attention, that is to be full of enthusiasm and shameless, and then withdraw immediately, which is what Susan in the movie did! But timing is important.

Adaptation. quotes

  • John Laroche: You know why I like plants?

    Susan Orlean: Nuh uh.

    John Laroche: Because they're so mutable. Adaptation is a profound process. Means you figure out how to thrive in the world.

    Susan Orlean: [pause] Yeah but it's easier for plants. I mean they have no memory. They just move on to whatever's next. With a person though, adapting almost shameful. It's like running away.

  • Donald Kaufman: [about McKee] But he says that we have to realize that we all write in a genre, and we must find our originality within that genre. See it turns out, there hasn't been a new genre since Fellini invented the mockumentary...? My genre's thriller, what's yours?
