I watched "I Want to End It All"

After watching Charlie Kaufman's new film "I Want to End It All," I opened the window.

Sunshine outside. Every building is realistic. There are trees, cars, and alleys. I know, that's not their original shape, that's what light appears on people's retinas after refraction.

It is said that time is distributed linearly. Is there any curvature? I forgot. People's emotions are probably the same. It used to be Wilde and Shakespeare, and now it's Kaufman, who listed them on the screen in series for the audience to feel the taste.

Watching a movie on a computer, is it really watching a movie? This is a philosophical question. Can virtue be carved into stone in the form of words, so that virtue can reshape the golden body?

Stories are often fictional. The way of telling is like scales. They are arranged and combined to form a world that is both fantasy and real. Are the old man's absurdity and the young man's fantasy the same thing?

After watching the entire movie, not only did I not understand it, but I was even more confused.

    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.
