It has been less than a month since the legendary doomsday.
Reminds me of a movie, Lars von Trier's Depression.
A long wedding, ruined before the end. Hit hard, the planet strikes.
The bride in the film, Justin, broke out in a long-hidden depression at the wedding, and everything that was done step by step was destroyed.
Drag your wedding dress to urinate everywhere.
Hiding in the room while the guests waited for the bride to cut the cake.
Leaving the new husband alone, he went to have sex with a stranger.
...
Everyone has to stay away from her, only one hit her. Blue Depression Star.
It's like a demon somewhere in my heart, and I never cared about it. When you finally feel that you want to talk to it, it seems to be very face-saving, and there is no longer a fierce look on his face, but a very warm and tender approach. Yes, it is already too close to the earth, so close that it seems that it is not a round planet, but a vast oil painting. The whimpering sound is just paint that has been accidentally dropped.
When Justin foresees that the earth is about to perish, he acts more calmly than any normal person.
The sense of destruction with no way out and no hope makes people lose their senses and show their ugliness.
My brother-in-law, who studied astronomical phenomena, committed suicide by taking medicine because of fear.
The elder sister took the child and fled wildly, but there was no way to escape.
Of these, love and warmth are the only pain relievers, but only pain relievers. Build a shed, be a companion, and die together.
Because we are human, we have a desire for destruction, slaughter, and sudden death.
Justin called the planet to come, and it arrived. There is joy in disaster.
Destroying everything is a tempting act.
"Depressed people have a craving for disaster. Pleasure comes from disaster. One of my therapists once said to me that people with depression are usually very rational in the face of disaster because they experience it so often. It 's a familiar situation,"
Lars von Trier said in an interview.
It is worth mentioning that when I keep thinking about this movie, I think about it every day.
One night, in a dream, the sun and the moon collided. The day and the earth were spinning, and everyone was escaping for their lives, but I watched the last dazzling light from the sky with great joy. Go upstream and head to the scene of the dance performance.
It is necessary to be so calm, the attitude of the last moment of life.
Also, "Avatar", which was released a few years ago.
There is also an alien planet, which is also exaggerated by a strange blue.
What's important here are some of the audience's reactions to the movie:
- I watched the movie yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, I felt like the world had turned dark, as if my whole life, what I've done and what I'm working on have lost meaning. I can't find a reason to move on, I live in a dying world.
——Seeing the beautiful planet of Pandora and the Na'vi who live there, I wish I could be one of them too...I even thought that if suicide could bring me back to life on the planet of Pandora, I would definitely do it.
- The most frustrating thing is that we can't do anything, because we know very well that the planet Pandora only exists in the imagination.
Then infinite associations.
For a while, because of the popularity of "The Da Vinci Code", I followed the trend and came into contact with some Western religious suspense novels.
There is one, "Blue" by the German writer Jörg Kastner.
The main line of the text unfolds with an oil painting by Rembrandt, using a rare bright blue pigment that the master never used in his entire life. Wherever the painting goes, everyone is either dead or crazy.
It is true that both novels and movies must have elements of exaggeration and imagination. Things that even the author can't justify, are just used to scare some cowards and let them worry about the world as much as they want.
But if you are careful, you will find some subtle correlations.
Why do they all use the same color to describe their misfortune.
At the end of "Depression", Justin made it clear that there is no other life in the world.
Yes, because there is no other kind of life, which leads to a more sad ending. There is nothing but us humans, and there will never be.
It is not like "2012", it is also a work of doomsday, but it still raises the seeds of hope on the ruins. Life exists only on earth and will end the line.
Does blue represent some kind of despair?
Also facing an existential crisis, humans who are good at self-deception have shifted the battlefield to an imaginary planet. Because it is in Pandora, after all, it is not the earth, so you can kill and plunder wantonly.
Does blue represent self-defeating?
In the novel, an innocent work of art is desperately used to hide the evil behind the scenes. Create panic and kill innocents indiscriminately.
Does blue represent low-key evil?
Blue itself is synonymous with "melancholy". Blue people are willing to show weakness, as long as someone understands them, they are willing to open their hearts and accept help. However, due to his sensitive nature, heavy suspicion, strong vigilance, and high requirements, it is difficult for him to be satisfied with the help of others, and as a result, he feels frustrated and closes himself up again.
Then I was afraid of the ocean and never wanted to look up at the sky. Hate everything unknown. You never know what kind of surprise they will give you in the next second.
Only when the earth and sky to which we are attached will cease to exist one day, will the real end come. But the sadness is greater than the death of the heart. Can we not be jealous of each other until all human beings die?
Desire is sin, and we've already killed ourselves all over.
The blue depression star in your heart, when you find it, it will arrive.
