As the title says, this is how Ian deeply felt the absurdity of life and his own incompetence. He spends too much time and energy on things beyond his control. His epilepsy, his love for Annik, his sense of family responsibility, his obligation to perform, his no return to being a rock star...
Ian really felt everyone's pain, he felt it was his own responsibility, and he finally chose to escape. What if it was replaced by someone else? It wasn't a hard choice: get a divorce, go to the US to perform, and actively fight against her ailments. But he didn't, he'd rather watch the empty room alone and hang on the rope.
It's often heard that if Ian didn't have epilepsy, would Kurt kill himself if he didn't have stomach pains? I'll add another question, what if Elliot Smith didn't have depression?
But I prefer to understand their pain as an external reflection of the spiritual world. For them, the feeling is magnified, and the pain is the same. While we try to avoid the pain and try to forget it, they torture themselves. If the heart is firm that they can't bear it, what else can relieve their pain?
Sensitive people are only sensitive to something special, and sensitive geniuses are sensitive to everything. So Ian would completely collapse in the face of this situation that everyone couldn't handle easily. Wouldn't it be possible for a sensitive genius to have "Love will tear us apart", "Smell like teen spirit", and "Miss misery"?
Sensitive genius should live in mediocrity. A dull and optimistic person like me can't understand what Hou Peng is, so I will like Nouvelle Vague's version of "Love will tear us apart". It is recommended that everyone like me listen to it, that is our main theme. The stories of these sensitive geniuses are only for admiration, not to be worshipped, nor to be imitated. Actually it can't be copied.
