detachment and shackles

A short story with no ending, a protagonist who is naturally melancholy and whose background is unknown. Seeing me suppressed, shocked and pained.

A movie that people admire is because a certain part of his plot and the mood he conveys resonate, so the popularity of a movie can also reflect some social phenomena...

The film begins with a quote from Camus: I have never felt so deeply that the distance between my soul and me is so far away, and my existence is so dependent on the world.

During the day, my body wanders in fiery pain. At night, my soul is pulled and tormented, but I am still alive. None of these pains can hurt my heart, because my heart has been separated from me. If it comes back, I will definitely feel it. to pain.

Those who choose to commit suicide are living earnestly and down-to-earth, and those who survive are some because of their ignorance and bravery, and some because they are already ashes.

This world has changed from order to disorder, and the creator's failed experiment has been absurd since its birth. Tossing and turning in the shackles, it is better to be detached in death; people have been pursuing complete silence all their lives, living towards death, over and over again, gods, what are they trying to prove, so that the earth experiments will continue to circulate. Is it to prove "entropy"? Everything is consumed and dissipated in the universe? Is it intended that we continually hone our minds to become Siddhartha?

As for whether Grandpa is Henry's father, I think, it must be. Before my grandfather's death, my grandfather imagined that Henry was his daughter. My grandfather was busy apologizing and even confessed his daughter at the end, not to mention that Henry had not had any clues about his father for so many years, and why did Henry's mother choose suicide instead of Escape the family with Henry?

Henry's mother gave birth to Henry because she also loved her grandfather. Her mother committed suicide because she couldn't stand the torture of such incest. If Mom didn't love Grandpa and Henry was Grandpa's son, why didn't she choose an abortion while she was pregnant and run away from the family? If Henry is someone else's child, why does Henry's mother stay at Grandpa's house and continue to be punished by Grandpa? Oh my poor expressiveness. I think my mother loves my grandfather.

People don't want to believe in the evil and unbelievable things in this world, and they're sure they won't happen.

They collected evidence to protect their three views from collapsing... They built a wall for themselves, a wall that kept the three views on the shelf.

It feels a bit like remembering Camus, and expressing "The Outsider" deeply. Any emotional experience has caused all kinds of senses to strike collectively because it was too sensitive.

Wisdom will be hurt, and deep love will not last. Meursault, who was tied to the gallows, finally came to his senses and told us that even if the senses of all kinds of emotions are reduced, we must know how to play on the scene, because we still have expectations for the future after recovery.

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?
