I can't help but think of "The Truman World" again out of time, also facing the vast unknown outside, one bravely left, and the other would rather give up himself. However, their situations are so different, not to mention the outside world or those differences, people have this tendency, they just represent two different sides. When people face the unknown, they always want to explore and challenge. In 1900, they also decided to get off the boat. It has nothing to do with motivation. This is human nature. At the same time, there will also be fear. Truman's so-called fear has been completely overcome and covered up, and this fear made 1900 finally unable to set foot on land.
This exaggerated sense of fear is not enough for us to conclude that he is different. There is a natural difference between people's grasp of the unknown and their confidence in their own abilities. For example, if the computer is broken, some people are willing to find a way to fix it by themselves, even though they don’t understand it very well. They have tried any possible solutions. Although the process is not so smooth or even fails, they have learned a lot at the same time. , and later gradually mastered the ability to repair; but some people do not dare to move by themselves because they do not understand and are afraid of being damaged, so they can only ask others for help. This can involve a sense of trust in others or yourself, or a tendency to choose someone else versus yourself to take responsibility for bad consequences. But for 1900, it was clear he wasn't that confident about the things he couldn't grasp, he only knew his piano, because he was a genius at that, he thought everything should be so easy, that the world should be the way he always As simple as ever imagined. When he found out he was wrong, his self-confidence was shattered so quickly that he would rather ruin than face it. Sometimes destroying yourself for a high-sounding reason is not a virtue. Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. He grew up on a boat since he was a child, and he has only been exposed to so much. Maybe he can only accommodate so much in his lifetime.
It was said that if the woman at the time - believed to be the reason why he wanted to get off the boat 12 years later - let him go with her, maybe he did. This kind of argument is still difficult to establish. If he really wanted to go with her, he did so at the time. She is like the "Aventure" in many stories, in order to make the plot more beautiful and more complicated, it is a setting that will never change but never get tired of it. Although she seemed to have left an indelible mark on his heart, at least their interactions were limited to the courtesy before she disembarked. Besides, she also said how to find her, so this matter is secondary.
This is probably the charm of film art. Through a seemingly absurd story, people's characteristics, especially their weaknesses and shortcomings, are exaggerated and extreme. Because they are all common to human nature, we will be attracted, sigh and have a lot of emotion; and because they are too extreme relative to us, we can stay out of it irresponsibly without having any self-blame, resentment, and anger.
PS A little digression. Sometimes I really feel that there is nothing to believe in this world, and I always say, "That's how people are." I know that although the genius of 1900 is envied, I understand that few people want to be him in this story. In fact, 1900 is very happy. He has his piano as the sustenance of his life. However, there are many lonely souls who have nothing to rely on. What can they rely on?
