after coloring the darkness

The life and death of Heath Ledger was a fantasy show, but his posthumous work, the final voice and appearance, still melted away all the nostalgia, and behind Wen Chao's sadness was a fresh and translucent brilliance.

It is said that he is the main thread, used to expound on the theme of faith and deception, but suddenly, everything seems to be re-created, and the final release is an incomprehensible obscure that is better than Buddhist scriptures. So I had an infarction all night.
This man's name is Tony, and he is a person who has a strong desire for infinite material and infinite spirit. The so-called infinite material is nothing more than money, fame and fortune, and as for the infinite spirit, he once expressed his fascination with the feeling of "being a god". This is the dual ambition of flesh and spirit, and it is probably the final struggle of people in the world.
He has changed his face three times, presenting the face of his current dream, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell.
Tony's all beings are unrepentant. In the eyes of the gentleman and devil, he is as interesting as Dr. Pa, but his entertainment temperature is too short, and there is no Dr. Pa's "storytelling", "the operation of the universe" and "for the operation of the universe". "Fantasy" and "immortality" are as thin as water. Tony's desires, depravity, hypocrisy, and dissatisfaction are all natural. Although he is not at all, he is very honest about his "evil". So he lived without guilt, would not entangle himself with morality, even use a piccolo to tease death, and even the devil could not put him to death.
Such people cannot be transformed by gods and cannot be accepted by demons, so there is only another way to punish them.
So Tony, who used fantasy shows to defraud money, eventually lost to Dr. Pa, who used storytelling to keep the universe running.
Dr. Pa wins a bet with the devil with a dream, and obtains eternal life, but the end of eternal life is rags, old, hungry, and wandering. It was his price, the suffering he had to endure as a dream missionary. But after all, the naked eye is mortal, and a thousand years is not enough. He won the demon of hell but lost to the back of a certain world in the light of day.
Satan's tricks are nothing but temptation, Tony lost easily, and Dr. Pa waved his sleeves to accept it. One transaction after another, the happiest thing is only the lines on the corners of the devil's mouth, but Dr. Pa is willing to come back again after tasting the bitter fruit of immortality.
The first time to prove faith, the second time for love, and the third time for his daughter's freedom.
Dr. Pa is a character whose good and evil cannot be determined. He does not have Tony's despicableness, arrogance, but selfishness, and what can restrain him is not moral.

The fantasy show is infinitely gorgeous and full of candy colors, but it has a terrible beauty comparable to this. Here, heaven and hell, just a thought.
