Everyone could be Ruby and Calvin

This movie confirms one of my points: people feel alone and no one understands. But in fact, the world is very big, and there will always be someone who thinks like you.

A few years ago, I felt depressed as the ruby ​​that was created. I hadn't seen the movie at that time, so I just felt closed and unspeakable depressing sadness. Coming out of that time and seeing this movie again, I feel like I'm in a different world.

So this movie is very special to me. After watching it, I feel a touch of sadness and relief, and at the same time, I am a little enlightened.

Sadly, it reminds me of the years I was in, happy at first, very happy, but when he tries to start shaping you and make you grow as he wants, it's hard to believe that this brings you depression The person who is suffering is the same person who makes you feel extremely happy. Maybe this is the real disappointing fact.

At the end of the movie, Calvin finally lets Ruby go and gives her a new life. It also gave them a chance to start over. Maybe you think this is a happy ending for movies, but I would say no. Human is an animal that learns spontaneously and evolves its own behavior pattern. When Calvin tried everything, he still saw that the pain he had brought to Ruby had far outweighed the joy, and he made such a decision with a kind heart. Not everyone has the opportunity to discover their own mistakes, and not everyone is able to correct them in a timely manner, or persist until they are fixed. This kind of control happens not only between lovers, but also between family members and friends. Even in such an environment in China, many parents regard their children as their subordinates, their own products, their own Ruby, and forget the objective fact that they exist in the world as independent individuals.

We have the opportunity to change, if we really care about whether the person around us is truly happy.

Wishing all Ruby the best of luck to the moment Calvin lets go. At the same time, this is the real world and not the movie. The situation wasn't so extreme that Calvin was typing and Ruby had nowhere else to go but obeyed. Although it is difficult, in the real world, you can try your best to save yourself.

Thanks to someone who made such a film, very resonant and very healing. I think this is probably the most primitive meaning of the existence of art such as book, video, and painting, giving a little resonance and light to the lonely heart.

    Shooting is mediocre, all kinds of hypnosis. In contrast, "Fantasy Life/Survival under the Pen" is much better than this.

Ruby Sparks quotes

  • Calvin Weir-Fields: This is the true and impossible story of my very great love. In the hope that she will not read this and reproach me, I have withheld many telling details: her name, the particulars of her birth and upbringing, and any identifying scars or birth marks. All the same, I cannot help but write this for her, to tell her "I'm sorry for every word I wrote to change you, I'm sorry for so many things. I couldn't see you when you were here and, now that you're gone, I see you everywhere." One may read this and think it's magic, but falling in love is an act of magic, so is writing. It was once said of Catcher In The Rye, "That rare miracle of fiction has again come to pass: a human being has been created out of ink, paper and the imagination." I am no J.D. Salinger, but I have witnessed a rare miracle. Any writer can attest: in the luckiest, happiest state, the words are not coming from you, but through you. She came to me wholly herself, I was just lucky enough to be there to catch her.

  • Ruby Sparks: What's your dog's name?

    Calvin Weir-Fields: Uh, Scotty. I named him for F. Scott Fitzgerald.

    Ruby Sparks: Isn't that disrespectful?

    Calvin Weir-Fields: What?

    Ruby Sparks: Naming your dog after him? It's a little disrespectful. Think about it. You're a novelist. You think this guy's the greatest. So you name your dog after him to cut him down to size. This way, you can put him on a leash... and yell "Bad Scotty" and feel all superior because you pee inside. Kill your idols, man. I'm all for it.
