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.

    The discussion about the basement at the 30th minute of the film finally made me feel a bit embarrassing and interesting. The whole movie is the reincarnation and hypnosis of consciousness and time. The story happened beyond the specific environment, and the whole seemed weird. It may be the most suitable movie to talk to yourself during the epidemic lockdown. im totally lost but still feel good about it

    Kaufman's new book "I Want to End It All" finally focuses on the word "want". It reminds you that the completed state of "ending" has never left the artistic kingdom constructed by the hero and heroine's imagination, and then came to the real world. The reason why the heroine has been forbearing and shrinking is obviously because of her own psychology of worrying about gains and losses in love and lack of assertiveness in the value judgment of this relationship. The same is true for the male protagonist. After being judged by his parents' value scale, he also realizes that he has never escaped from his parents' control. When the artist makes artistic concessions, the ego becomes indecisive, and there is a high risk of walking into unpredictable horror circles. In fact, this absurd atmosphere has been spreading and spreading. The film has been emphasizing the tension in the relationship between the sexes and the inescapability of the present time and space. If Nolan's Creed renounces temporality because of the functionality of art, then Kaufman uses the futility of art to finally recall the ephemeral but eternal dance of the relationship between the sexes. Assuming this is Kaufman's last work, his predictions of the future are cold, dark and known.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Janitor: What does your boyfriend look like?

    Young Woman: It's hard to describe people. It was so long ago, I barely remember. I mean... We never even talked, is the truth. I'm not even sure I registered him. There's a lot of people. I was there with my girlfriend... We were celebrating our anniversary, stopped in for a drink, and then this guy kept looking at me. It's a nuisance. The occupational hazard of... of being a female. You can't even go for a drink. Always being looked at. He was a creeper! You know? And I remember thinking, I wish my boyfriend was here. Which is... That's sort of sad, that being a woman, the only way a guy leaves you alone is if you're with another guy. Like, if... like... like you've been claimed. Like you're property, even then. Anyway, I can't... I can't remember what he looks like. Why would I? Nothing happened. Maybe it was just... I think it was just... Just one of thousands of such non-interactions in my life. It's like asking me to describe a mosquito that bit me on an evening 40 years ago. Well, you haven't seen anyone fitting that description, have you?

  • The Voice: It's not bad, once you stop feeling sorry for yourself because you're just a pig, or, even worse, a pig infested with maggots. Someone has to be a pig infested with maggots, right? It might as well be you. It's the luck of the draw. You play the hand you're dealt. You make lemonade. You... you move on. You don't worry about a thing.
