Sometimes I don't understand what detachment is, just waiting for that hysterical moment

Until the moment of watching this film, the poignant Gothic beauty that I pursued when I was young has never left myself. When life enters a certain morbid exhaustion time, you can really see the desolation around you. But this kind of complexity and confusion was far beyond what the little kid who only knew about the visual department at the time could understand.

This kind of gloom, the first moment you see his eyes, you already know that at some point in the film, you will completely give up the psychological defense line built by your years of life, and wait for that hysterical moment in 97 minutes.

When we were young, we believed that life was so simple. After 10 years, you will find that life is really as complicated as adults say. In the end you find that the whole society is a prisoner, a prisoner of money, a prisoner of time, a prisoner of lies, but we all end up defaulting to this cynicism.
Living in such a failure

you have to keep an independent mind, but this is a double contradiction, so you have to believe the lie.

Perhaps we will see the ultimate lie withering along with the Gothic Castle, eroding the once mighty into eternal desolation.
The rest is detachment, accompany the lie into the irreparable decline

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
