"The Dark Law of New York" is another brain-burning movie after "Mulholland Drive", which is a profound philosophical reflection on life. There are too many details, so I didn't go into each one of them carefully.
Watching this movie, I found that I was the same person as Haydn. Haydn's struggle is his own struggle. Haydn's loneliness is also his own loneliness. We think about how to realize our own values and think about what is going on in our own lives. How can we fill the loneliness in our hearts? I imagine it's not just me who looks like Haydn.
At the beginning of the movie, Haydn felt that his body was sick, he cared about himself, and his words were inseparable from his illness and his drama. He didn't care about family matters. He was a naive daughter crying and said he didn't want blood. His wife asked him to tell her daughter about her. No blood but he couldn't care more about what he knew than to appease his daughter Haydn. The first wife finally couldn't bear to leave him to pursue the life she wanted.
He started seeing a psychologist (watching him talking to a therapist was like watching him talking to himself) and he said that his ex-wife Adele was talking about him without doing anything real. The doctor asked what the truth was. Haydn said, "I was worried that I was going to die. While I was still in this world, I wanted to do something important." The psychiatrist recommended him the book "Getting Better". The first wife left, but what he cared about was not his wife's mood, but his disappointment with him, and he still hoped to do something to make life better and more meaningful in the future.
And it didn't get better after that. His body continued to get sick. The first wife also took her daughter farther and farther away from him.
When he met Hazel, his life could have gotten better because he had met love but it didn't actually get better. The first time the male protagonist had sex with Hazel, the male protagonist cried and said that he was a little upset. He said that he was really sick and couldn't enjoy the current passionate love. I also saw that I saw what the separation between me and others was and the separation of the world. Haydn said, "We are all on the way to death and at some point we are here to live but we all know we will die." If you think of every day as a countdown to death, every moment is stained with this idea tragic color. If we change our minds, will life be different? If we no longer regard the flow of time as a loss, but as a gift, let us feel all the gifts around us, and let us enjoy love and happy moments, feel love and affection, and create art. of satisfaction. Now Haydn doesn't think about it that way. He won a bonus. He said that he invested a huge bonus in a drama, and he could finally put his real self into one thing. The psychologist asked him what his real self was. Hair digs myself right? Haydn is right. What he still thinks about is the passage of time and he wants to prove the meaning of his existence in his limited time.
He recruited a group of actors who said they started with honest conversations with each other and then discussed that he thought a lot about death He didn't really communicate with the group in front of him He only talked about what he cared about but he attracted his followers Although she didn't understand Claire at this time, he didn't understand that he was just blind worship, but the followers made Haydn feel that he had existence value. I think this is also one of the reasons for choosing Claire as the second wife. As Claire follows him to try to play the role of a good wife, Haydn throws and leaves Claire and her daughter to find her eldest daughter, Olive. The little girl said to Dad Claire that Dad didn't live with us anymore and he had to find himself.
He found Maria and said that Olive was only four years old. In fact, Olive was almost 11 now. He watched his own time every second. And his daughter. Haydn saw that the gift box he gave was abandoned, he dripped eye drops and cried until he fell ill. At this time, Haydn felt that he also felt that his feelings were hurt.
Before the eldest daughter died, Haydn went to see her daughter and her daughter was deceived since she was a child that her father was gay and that was the truth in her life. It was this lie that contributed to her current life. Daughter thinks her father abandoned her and she should beg for forgiveness Daughter hopes she can forgive her father and hears father himself say sorry before dying Father tries to explain but daughter says she has no time father changes his words and says "please forgive me please?" daughter The truth she had been obsessed with before her death was also a lie, so what was the truth? It is the feeling at this moment that the daughter feels abandoned by the father The resentment born of love is the father's pain and longing for the daughter born of love. The content of the dialogue is not true, but the feelings of the two people at this moment are true.
Before Sammy jumped off the building, he told Hayden to let Hayden watch him jump off the building and see that he understood that after death, nothing would happen again. No one to observe, no one to follow, no love. Partial death begins with the departure of important people in our lives.
After Sammy died, he seemed to understand a little. He told Hazel that the two of them could find a place to live together. Haydn said that he had thought of a turbid moon that illuminates the dim earth. At this moment, his love with Hazel illuminated him and made him indulge in happiness. This night Hazel died. Her life was burned out. Everyone's life will be extinguished. The difference is why Burning Hazel made the choice when she decided to live in this burning house.
Haydn, who went back to the theater to play the priest, said a line "Everything is more complicated than you think you only see a little bit of the truth. Every decision you make drives thousands of relationships in motion. You You can choose to ruin your life at any time but maybe you won't understand it in 20 years and you may never go back to the beginning and you only have one chance to make it right Try to fix your marriage everyone says There's no such thing as destiny, there's just something you create. Even if the world turns year after year, you're just a tiny piece of the second. You stay behind or in front of you most of the time. But when you're alive, you Just waiting in vain to waste decades waiting for something or someone to get a phone call a letter or a meeting to reassure oneself but it never comes or really is going to happen or a dazed hope that something good will come next Things that make you feel disconnected make you feel your presence. And the truth is that I'm angry I'm sad the truth is that I feel like I've been hurt for years. And at the same time I'm pretending I'm okay to adjust that I don't Knowing this is why maybe no one wants to hear about my misery because they have their own misfortunes." Here Haydn sees his life and seems to know what happened to his past life and he says "I'm dead".
Life is like a journey to death. Whether you think or not, the car is going. You can only see a small part of what you see along the way. You never know what the world really looks like. The most real thing is actually how you feel. The most meaningful thing in life is the true love you feel.
