Lonely people are shameless

During a long chat with a friend who has never met, I accidentally remembered this movie - "Two Despairing Hearts". My friend said that I haven't watched it yet, but I said, you must watch it, because you are now alone, Hopeless. . . .

When I watched this film at the time, I didn't have any deep feelings, life is so full of happy sunshine. The reason why I sat down quietly and patiently watched it from beginning to end was because of Nicolas Cage's eyes - the eyes of a vacant drunkard. From then on, although life was still so dull and turbulent, those eyes would appear in front of me from time to time, wrapping around me like a shadow, until now, on a night I didn't want to sleep, it made me feel A breath of despair. God has not treated me unfairly, and life has not put too much pressure on me, but why do I still have this inexplicable feeling? Later, I finally learned that people's loneliness comes from two sources: one is that the world has abandoned you, and the other is that you have abandoned the world. The alcoholics and prostitutes in the film belong to the first case. My feeling, is it the second? (May 8, 2004 Inner Kingdom · Carving Time)
