I have never tasted the taste of turkey. Jimmy Duo once said that the aroma of turkey has reached its peak between the mouth and the first bite after the mouth. into the mouth. Thinking about it, many things are like turkeys. Before contacting them, they always have great expectations. When they enter the entrance, their interest fades and disappears. Those who encounter life crisis have the deepest experience, and the world around them is inexplicably out of control, like the Voyager probe that is about to fly out of the solar system, slowly deviating from its original orbit and disappearing into the dark and silent universe. Of course, the most terrifying thing is that all of this seems to be deliberately hiding from oneself, until the vase falling from the air hits the forehead: it is so.
The goddess Monroe's "Seven Year Itch", the rose petal-covered "American Beauty", and the Coen brothers' "Serious Men" are all masterpieces that reflect this crisis. Privately, I thought that among the translations of this film, the mainland was the most "serious", which did not show the essence of its dark humor, and I almost missed it when I browsed it. Taiwan's translated name is "Serious and Good Man". The word "serious" has the opposite meaning. The one I admire most is "The Story of a Very Silly Man's Divorce". The famous "Murder of the Green Toes", as the saying goes, kills multiple birds with one stone.
Fortunately, the almost absurd title caught me. Judging from their consistent performance, the Coen brothers always seem to be pursuing some kind of mockery of real life, interpreting the most absurd things with the most serious people. A colleague from the unit talked about the lack of humor in the Chinese people, and wanted to argue that the Chinese people are just going through their heads.
