The stars shine, not because people need them to shine

When watching the movie, I still think about the things I have experienced, the stories that I once indulged in, tried to escape, turned back, and finally separated. At the beginning of her life, Jesomina could not decide by herself. When she was born, what she should do and who she should become was arranged. She was sold to Zambino, became his starter and partner, and joined the circus. Is she happy? Maybe at the beginning, she found her own existence and value for the first time in the face of a world that she had never seen before, a lively audience. Even if the whip is on his body, even if the other party is such a silent person, the two of them have almost no common language, but people will always subconsciously rely on the person who established a bond with them at the beginning. The circus is a special place. The actors are risking their lives in exchange for the applause and laughter of the audience. Outside the show, they are displaced and have no fixed place to stay. They have been on the road, and they are more lonely and lonely. She finally could not stand his indifference and indifference to escape. Finally, in the crowd, I saw a circus performer "Fool" who was walking a tightrope with small wings. She raised her head and looked up at her, probably because the two of them smiled knowingly. Can play the violin, full of aura, humorous person. I think of the boy who took me to Huahai Park on a bicycle many years ago, he asked me what happened to you, I didn't answer, but I was really happy when I was with him, just like Jesso Mina was the same when she was with the fool. What would have happened if I had chosen to be with a fool, wandering the world? , Will you live happily ever after? After all, she is a soul mate. A fool admires her from the bottom of her heart, likes her, and he knows what love is. Love is not possession, love is respect. She didn't, and neither did I. Just like suffering from Stockholm, she returned to Zambino's side by accident. Her freedom, fanaticism, longing, and anticipation were finally defeated by her attachment to him. Did she have no courage to break free? Still sympathy for him, no one will be with him except me, my mother also said this, she said, a person with such a bad temper like your father, no one will be with him except me. Another example is that girls in love may also say, "Who else will be with him except me for someone like him." When saying this sentence, rather than the other party being inseparable from you, it is more that you can't be inseparable from the other party. Two free and sensual souls can fly to far away places and be happy? Not necessarily, it's a prophecy, maybe Zan will find the two of them, beat them both together, and the ending will be even more tragic. The fool helped the heroine to find the meaning of self, but this self is not the real self, but the self that depends on the existence of others. But that's why he would say "I don't like being with useless women", and behind the banter is endless sadness, just like he always likes to laugh and make fun of others. But he still respected her choice, and gave her his beloved necklace. Similar people will always meet. Why is it a bit similar to the feeling of "returning the king's pearl with double tears, I wish I could meet when I was not married"?

Even with a fool, it will inevitably be a bumpy life, which is not in line with the life that the heroine originally expected to settle down, and the most terrible thing is that walking on a tightrope does seem to make people feel romantic and beautiful. However, the life behind them hangs by a thread, and they may lose their lives at any time. How many people can accept it? I envy your life, but that doesn't mean I can break free from my current status People are contradictory, and we don't necessarily become who we expect. In the conflict with Zan, the fool was at fault first, and there was no hatred between the two before. I don't know, if there is no hatred and no hatred, then it is true that his behavior is very disrespectful to each other. Maybe it was because he looked down on his arrogance and felt that he couldn't be called art anyway. That's probably why he repeatedly ridiculed Bino and despised him, thinking that his art and skills were superior to him, and he was disdainful to be with him. Kind of cowards to work together. He also made an enemy for himself and buried a hidden danger in his life. Most of the time, we choose to compromise with the life we ​​are used to. The heroine is envious of the nun, "I only follow myself", and the heroine is a dependent personality, she knows what kind of life she likes, she also envy the nun, but she can't do it. Asking you over and over again if you like me a little bit, and if you like me, is to determine "the meaning of my existence". However this is meaningless because first you have to like yourself. But when it was sold as a commodity from the very beginning, our little angel has no independent personality. What other thoughts are there under poverty and hunger? If there is, it is also the different scenery and madness that I have seen on the parade team again and again. It is the shock of the heart and the love for the performance when picking up the trumpet, and it is the fantasy that I unconsciously follow behind the trumpet team. It would be nice if it wasn't bought, then you have the right to make your own choice, but that's how life is. Even if you and I are seemingly independent individuals, most of the time you can only rely on them.

She longed for a home, sow the seeds of tomatoes in the hope that they would take root, but Zambino couldn't. His way of making a living was not stability, but wandering. The name of the film is the Great Road, the circus is always on the road, all roads lead to Rome, and each road leads us in a different direction. Once you choose this path, there is no way to go back. Likewise, if you choose that path, you have to pay the corresponding price.

The stars shine, not because people need them to shine, to light their way, but because the stars themselves shine. The stone exists because you are the stone and nothing else, not because others want you to pave the way, but because you should exist.

But the heroine understands the meaning as someone needs me, so I should exist. After losing the fool, the heroine is tantamount to a huge heart blow. There is always such a person, even if you can't be with him, but knowing that he is alive is enough. It is more painful to watch yourself love deeply, maybe the word love is inaccurate, watch someone who is important to you kill another important person with your own hands, there is something more absurd and painful than this kind of thing Is it something? Two beautiful hearts have since fallen. For Zambino, life is to make a living, it is to eat enough, it is bread, there is no romance, and there is no need to ask for a why, living is the ultimate meaning. He also wants to live a decent life instead of going around acting, and he can be seen buying a suit as a quest for decent status. He has extremely strong self-esteem, and feels guilty after killing someone, but he still believes that it is his right to live. , he regards the heroine as his property more, and will give the trumpet to the heroine mostly just because of guilt, maybe he cares about her, but it is only the possession of appendages, he has never understood women Lord, without even trying to understand yourself. Years later, when he learned that the heroine had passed away, he was drunk and walked to the beach, trying to walk towards the vast sea, but was woken up by the coldness of the sea, and turned around and curled up on the beach, maybe he discovered that for the first time. Lonely, helpless, tall on the outside, but fragile inside. At this moment, he remembered the girl who used to travel with him, the question she asked herself over and over in the thunderstorm night, the loneliness of the journey and her company, and the abandonment of her in the wild. He knew that there would never be another angel like her in this life, and there would be no love and waiting without asking for anything. Human nature is very complicated, it can only be said that living is really a difficult thing, life, distance, ideal, reality, romance. Should you choose a car or a three-wheeled motorcycle? In other words, do we really have the right to choose? If you choose romance, life may turn back and punch us to death. If you really choose reality, reality will also abandon us. People are in a dilemma, so romance and ideals are buried deep in their hearts, and they still live the most accustomed life, but they are not necessarily safe, because life is full of conflicts and conflicts. When Zan kills a fool, it actually kills a woman. The Lord was also killed, and the ideal self, the ideal world, and the last thoughts were also shattered. If there is no trace of thoughts left in life, then living is a boring thing. I play the tune you taught me, wander around, and spend the rest of my life reminiscing about that unfulfilled dream. I take with you the memories you left me, The Walking Dead lived in this time, and lived out this pale and lonely life. By the time we finally discover what is most important to us, it is too late.

La Strada quotes

  • Zampanò: [reciting his act by rote before a crowd] Here we have a piece of chain that is a quarter of an inch thick. It is made of crude iron, stronger than steel. With the simple expansion of my pectoral muscles, or chest, that is, I'll break the hook.

    [collecting money from the crowd]

    Zampanò: Thank you, thank you. Now, to do this feat, I must fill myself up like a tire. If a blood vessel should break, I would spit blood. For instance, in Milan a man weighing 240 pounds lost his eyesight doing this trick. That is because the optical nerves take a beating, and once you lose your eyes, you are finished. If there's any delicate person in the audience, I would advise him to look away 'cause there could be blood.

    [with seemingly great effort, he breaks the chain]

  • Gelsomina's Mother: She's not like Rosa. But she's a good girl, poor thing. She'll do what she's told. She just came out a little strange. But, if she eats every day, maybe she'll get better.
