everything is full.
Who remembers
the frenzied burning of the past.
Every petal
is a flame
. The distance between my soul and me is so far away and my existence is so real.
"Transcendence" ulteriorly quoted Camus's words in the opening title, which set a gentle tone for the whole film. This is the director's shrewdness, putting a set of stark opposites in front of the audience naked, one side is the "Beat Generation"'s unbridled, indifferent self-harm, and the other side is a melancholy brave, drinking in loneliness Sip bitter wine. Which of the two different forms of resistance should be more admired by people can be seen at a glance.
Some time ago my heart has been drawn to Bertolucci's film "Dream of Paris" and John Lennon's song "Imagine" "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." The manifesto is firmly captured. The scene of Leo and Isabella rushing into the rioting crowd and joining the revolution with all their blood has taken root forever in my heart. When the last scene of the movie, the square was covered in blood, and a broken scene of bloody suppression came into my eyes (in the novel version, Matthew was shot to death in order to rescue Leo and Isabella), I was already The surging blood was dizzying. No hesitation, bloody sacrifice, absolute individuality and freedom, these extremely irrational instinctual impulses originate from the innocence and barbarity of children. And I, who joined the camp of dreamers, ignored that at such a turbulent age, once I lost my sense and calmness, my bare-handed resistance would undoubtedly affect the outcome of the individual's vain sacrifice, and often do something out of the ordinary.
Until recently I watched Detachment, and its tranquility softened the most radical thoughts in me and gave me a sedative.
The English name detachment is translated as "detachment", which conveys such a concept: indifference and keeping a distance are the resistance of the gentleman. The so-called detachment is not desperate, but should be concerned and responsible for oneself. Self-respect and self-love, learning to cherish, this is especially precious in the age when everyone is raising their arms and shouting and losing their minds.
The detachment shown by the protagonist Henry is somewhat similar to Meursault in Camus's "The Outsider". His melancholy poetic temperament expresses the director's clear attitude and basic judgment. In stark contrast, the hormonal secretion of teenagers is exuberant and disordered. Their pursuit of individuality, abuse of violence, and unscrupulousness no longer evokes a positive enthusiasm like "Dream of Paris", but makes people feel how naive and how much. Painful.
Whether it’s Erica, who was a prostitute on the streets (she was still just a child), or Meredith who committed suicide by taking poison because she was not understood, whether it was a cat abuser with blood on her hands, or a self-abandoned school And the girls who don't care, we can't help but ask in our hearts: what happened to them?
yes! Everyone can "don't care", but how hard it is to "care".
Jerry, the master of Dadaism, said: "When I am completely free, I will kill everyone and then die." This freedom is selfish, and true freedom means being responsible, responsible for others, and even more responsible for yourself.
In an increasingly open society, we may need to be extra calm at this time. When we think we can let go of everything unfettered, it is necessary to pour a pot of cold water on ourselves at the right time.
