joke

A group of people asked about the meaning of this film, haha, the meaning, this is something only the immortals care about. Our so-called meaning is just a contemptuous joke in the face of eternity, like a skeleton in the Detroit River that disappears without a trace after a moment of existence.

We do live like zombies, a face that is increasingly blurred and lifeless in a mechanical life. We worry about the price of oil tomorrow, the international situation ten years from now, and we are saddened by the decline of a city. Eve said that Detroit has water, and when the cities in the south burn out, it will prosper; eighty percent of the blood is water, 60 to 70 percent of the human body is water, and 60 percent of the earth is water. Water, but human beings have just started to fight for oil; when Adam is sad for human beings, Eve comforts him: We've been here before, remember? All the terrible things that "zombies" are making and enduring, both Adam and Eve have witnessed. Think of that musical diamond in the sky, it's just above our heads. For eternity, only eternity itself is meaningful.

In a limited life, almost no one can master all languages, read all books that should be read and read, exhaust all knowledge, and listen to all music. However, from ancient times to the present, people with the ideal of "establishing the heart for the heaven and the earth, establishing the life for the people, inheriting the sages of the past, and establishing peace for all generations" have followed one after another, and their lives have been able to approach eternity at a certain moment. Their works It is a pastime for the immortal to contend with eternity. For them, however, these are not just diversions, they are as meaningful as musical diamonds. In other words, this is the only meaning of the existence of these few mortals. Of course, in the face of eternity, it is difficult for most people's lives to have any meaning, so we are called "zombies".

If the movie ended before Marlowe's death, "Only Love Forever" would be an eternal mockery of change, just like Spinoza's "Ethics", telling us that the only real thing is the law of the universe, and the human world is always full of It can be deduced from it, and if you understand this, you will know that the joys and sorrows, love and hate, life and death, that make countless people worry about their hearts and hearts, are completely irrelevant. Such a high-hanging truth may dispel a little people's obsession with meaningless things, but it is more likely not. Just kidding, just say it. Sincere jokes don't care about the consequences. Shouldn't someone make a movie to persuade everyone to engage in art?

But Marlowe died, and a pair of dashing lovers were also weakened by hunger, and finally stabbed the fangs of the fifteenth century into the necks of human beings in the twenty-first century. For most of our existence, we smirk, dream, and stay alive. You, Adam and Eve, why not. The end of the movie tells us that the so-called immortal vampires are not immortal, they are attached to mortal humans, even more illusory than us. So what about the truth that came out of their mouths? What about the eternal celestial bodies, the cyclical laws of history, scientific discoveries, literature, art, and philosophy?

Such a sad ending.

  • Ava: [after she has drained Ian of blood] Oh, I didn't mean to, he was just so cute. And now I feel sick.

    Eve: What do you expect, he's from the fucking music industry!
