past, present, future

The scenes that suddenly brightened when staring at each other, the scenes that gradually slowed down when watching other people's lives, and the heart-to-heart when they were testing each other, each sitting on the sofa holding a book that was disdained by the other. It should be a tense political atmosphere, sensitive ideology, and minority groups are easily discriminated against and persecuted. People were full of fear, and it was too late to commit suicide by swallowing a gun. When he finally let go of that person and locked up Gun, ready to move on, life stopped, he finally shared the same result of life with his lover.
Undoubtedly, this is the kind of stuffy movie I like. Most of the time, it is a silent action of one person, or a loose conversation between two people, usually a conversation that has nothing to do with eating, drinking, and gossip about Lhasa news.

"The past is not important to me."
"What about the present?"
"I wish it were over soon."
"If the past is not important and the present is a burden, what about the future?"

"If a person can't enjoy the present, his future will be hard to come by.
"I thought so too, but the problem is you can never foresee, like tonight." "

We live alone, we die alone. We're here, but in fact completely enclosed in our own shell. We can only experience the outside world subjectively. Who will know the real you? All I see is the way you are seen."
"I am the way you see, if you look closely."
"There is only one This kind of thing can give meaning to life, that is, there are very few times when you can truly connect with another person.”

My favorite part of the whole film is this dialogue in the bar, which is where he meets people who have a heart-to-heart relationship. ,twice. If there's a word for touching the soul, then George might have felt the touch of the soul in those moments when he paused between conversations.
After watching the movie, it's already today. Yesterday has passed, today has come, and tomorrow will continue. But the problem is you can never foresee.

    Sometimes the truth in life is cruel. Those who succeed will lose their love; those who don’t worry about life will have no face to return to their hometown. The young and handsome hope for a great future. And this one-way path in life, no matter how you go, there is only one result: death is the future. And on the way, I keep learning and losing one by one.

  • George: [whispered] Just get through the goddamn day.

  • Grant: There will be no time for sentiment when the Russians fire a missile at us.

    George: If it's going to be a world with no time for sentiment, Grant, it's not a world that I want to live in.
