So in the end, the big dream of watching it again has been completed. I don't know why, when I think back to the face of the heroine, I always think of the heroine in the rear wing deserters, and then I think of the black goat in the witch, the blood book, to the strange sound at the end, and then to the york's trembling voice in burn the witch. , and finally go back to the goodbye blue sky in the headset. A series of aimless emptying, but in the end, it fits the whole tone of the film, but the grand narrative is omitted, leaving only the gray and white of the whole film. It is always snowing and the sky is dark and sunless, the car is closed and gloomy, and even the heroine's red unkempt curly hair all come together. The image collection is unified as hopeless. The status quo that cannot be changed, the quagmire of life, has been sinking, and further down, until there is no sunshine in the dream, until the dream collapses.

This is the most autistic movie I've seen in the past six months. That bone dog may be a portrayal of my later life, it must be, if I still have my later years. I always know that life is long and will give me a lot of fault tolerance, and I even know that I will avoid everything again and again until I hit the bottom, and deceiving myself is only a few times. And when I have to look straight into reality, look into my heart, I have no expectations, no dreams, no love. This is reality, stark reality, nothing to grab, nothing. Not duckweed, not even dust. What's even sadder is that I've already acquiesced to this, and I don't even have the motivation to struggle.

I also want to end this, at least for now.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Young Woman: [about his onset dementia] I'm sorry that y-you're...

    Father: That's okay. Truth is, I'm looking forward to when it gets very bad and I don't have to remember that I can't remember!

  • Young Woman: Coming home is terrible whether the dogs lick your face or not; whether you have a wife or just a wife-shaped loneliness waiting for you. Coming home is terribly lonely, so that you think of the oppressive barometric pressure back where you have just come from with fondness, because everything's worse once you're home. You think of the vermin clinging to the grass stalks, long hours on the road, roadside assistance and ice creams, and the peculiar shapes of certain clouds and silences with longing because you did not want to return. Coming home is just awful. And the home-style silences and clouds contribute to nothing but the general malaise. Clouds, such as they are, are in fact suspect, and made from a different material than those you left behind. You yourself were cut from a different cloudy cloth, returned, remaindered, ill-met by moonlight, unhappy to be back, slack in all the wrong spots, seamy suit of clothes dishrag-ratty, worn. You return home moon-landed, foreign; the Earth's gravitational pull an effort now redoubled, dragging your shoelaces loose and your shoulders etching deeper the stanza of worry on your forehead. You return home deepened, a parched well linked to tomorrow by a frail strand of... Anyway... You sigh into the onslaught of identical days. One might as well, at a time... Well... Anyway... You're back. The sun goes up and down like a tired whore, the weather immobile like a broken limb while you just keep getting older. Nothing moves but the shifting tides of salt in your body. Your vision blears. You carry your weather with you, the big blue whale, a skeletal darkness. You come back with X-ray vision. Your eyes have become a hunger. You come home with your mutant gifts to a house of bone. Everything you see now, all of it: bone.
