The face that never flattered the world

I didn't see the movie review I wanted to see at all, so I had to write my own. More than the life of a so-called loser, I was shocked by three episodes:

1. The former gun friend gave birth to his child silently, indicating that he loved him very much, but he didn't know how to love him, so he raised the child alone. The hysterical hysteria of the now-pregnant gun friend Jane, the accusation in the cafe, and the devotion to the tavern owner for his chance, is also because he loves him so much that he doesn't know how to love him. Don't know if she'll actually have an abortion, and I don't think for the most part she won't. Abortion was just her way of asking him for even a little more attention, expressing to him her longing and disappointment that she couldn't go on in the most violent confrontational way. 2. He said the only philosophical thing in the cafe. In the face of Jane's accusation that he was not motivated, he said, I think there are two types of people in the world. One type of people is like you who like to classify and define others. ...and then were interrupted by Jane and parted ways. Yes, people always like to define what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in their own world. The so-called loser is just sticking to the things that he cares about but the world doesn't care about, and he doesn't intend to care a little about the things that others care about. Llewyn is nothing more than a freewheeling wanderlust with hunger and cold. I think Jane is actually tired of exchanging her body for singing opportunities. For the so-called middle-class life, she gave up her dignity and regarded the music she loved as a gold-digging opportunity, so she fell in love with him. On the other hand, Jane couldn't give up the easy and stable life. Life. She was the one who was complacent and deeply troubled. 3. There are two scenes in the film of guests who are guests at the old couple's house at different times. The two are different people, but the same dress and expression, the same meticulous care, smugness and boredom, the same Jane yearning for the middle class or upper class.

Llewyn is a guy who gets mad at playing for the old couple at his place, and he says I'm not your poodle. I deeply understand him, for a person with high self-esteem, he can accept likes or contempt, applause or abuse, but he cannot accept disrespect and charity. Such a person is simply sunshine in the dark and salvation for Jane who can take the initiative to dedicate herself. I remembered that at the first company I called the boss and quarreled because I was bullied by the company. In the end, the company helped me solve it. I refused to work with some people in the company because I didn't like being smart or doing nothing, and finally left because I couldn't stand the atmosphere and the feeling of standing still. The truth is, every time I leave without looking back, I go to a better next stop. In this world, there are always people of the same kind who can be seen in the crowd, or you who are brave, courageous, or do not follow the trend and insist on yourself, but you are seen by others as weird or even downcast, because he/she used to be.

At the end of the film, Llewyn is still a so-called loser, but God doesn't have mercy on all people in the same way. There are always people who are beautiful and beautiful, there are always people who are rich enough to rival the country, there are always people who are kind-hearted, there are always people who are hospitable, there are always people who are alone, and there are always people who don’t bow their heads to pick up sixpence. And so what.

There is always something in all of these people that shines in the cold night.

What is more valuable than a face that has never been flattering to this world?
