Optimism is the greatest sorrow

This is a film that is not compact at all but claims to be a drama full of a lot of unknown shots but some details are very interesting.

Fuck that monologue is one of the few highlights of the show. The screenwriter used Monty's mouth to spray all the foreigners in New York. The pride about New York is also reflected in the monologue at the end of his father. It can be seen that the screenwriter really hates such people. But at the end, when monty got into his father's car and met the smiling face he once hated all the way, this change of mentality is probably the so-called man who is about to die.

Monty is pessimistic. Same tone as this movie. So when the people around him told him that it was only 7 years, he knew that the prisoners were not criminals of his own level at all. When a friend says I will pick you up in 7 years, all he cares about is whether he will survive a few hours later. For this reason, he deliberately angered his friends and was beaten by Fat to make his face less handsome and want to commit a crime.

Yes, that's right. Optimism is the saddest emotion in the world.

You become blind because of optimism. Although you will feel pleasure, it is very easy to ignore the pain you are about to face because of this pleasure. Optimism, even if it's just having fun, can be labelled stupid by others. Because no one has too much time to understand another person, because the happiest person in the world is a fool. No matter where you are, there must be no sunshine in your corner. So there are three types of people. Those who laugh when they see the sun, those who cry when they see the shadows, those who laugh when they see the shadows.

Seeing a shadow but ignoring someone who doesn't see it is called self-deception. If you see a shadow and talk and laugh freely, in addition to pretending to be coercive, you must have reasonable countermeasures. Instead of sitting still and saying aloud, I believe that tomorrow's sun will definitely disperse the haze.

That's fart.

People cannot be childish forever. People need a pessimistic heart, an optimistic hand and face.

Oh yes of course it's a bad movie.

But do you want to be foolishly optimistic forever?

    Mary D'Annunzio: Vincent Phiscalla writes a story about his grandmother dying and you give him an A plus. And meanwhile, the night of the funeral, you wanna know where Rhodes Scholar Vince is? Getting smashed at a basketball party and slapping girls asses. I mean, what is that? A charity A+? You wanna know why everybody always writes about their grandmothers dying? It's not because it's so traumatic. It's because it's a guaranteed A+! And you sit there all sentimental "Oh, Vince it was very powerful, very moving." No, it wasn't. You didn't care. Nobody cared. That's what grandmothers do. They die!

    Jakob Elinsky: Sometimes, guys have a hard time showing their emotions.

    Mary D'Annunzio: So, slapping my ass is a way of mourning his dead grandmother?
