The walk

This is a true and very paranoid story. I like this reminiscence and slightly witty narrative style. After checking the information, I found that the great "Forrest Gump" was also produced by the director, and I suddenly realized. The hero of the movie reminds me of another man, Strickland from The Moon and Sixpence, another man who is paranoid to the point of death. What they have in common is that they are all pursuing something that is supreme to them in art or life, which makes their hearts wild, their souls restless, and their bodies are not even afraid of death. Some people say that the power that drives them is a dream, and I disagree. Dreams often contain noble and sunny connotations. They are given too many positive meanings by the morals of this world. This is why I don't like the word dream. And Philip Pat and Strickland, who are not noble in everything they do, are sometimes paranoid to the point of evil, blooming obscenely beautiful in the ultimate twist. I believe that what drives them to take all their adventures is simply a desire deep within their hearts, a desire so strong that they tear their souls apart. There is no reason for it, it is difficult to be satisfied, it needs to devour the last drop of blood to be freed, and it is difficult for me to call a person who realizes his own desires great. I just want to use Rousseau's words, They broke free from the shackles of life and gained true freedom.
