In 1988, on the sunny Italian coast, Luc Besson gave his daughter a choice and, of course, a result.
Perhaps in the depths of our hearts, there is a dream about the edge buried.
In fact, what I want is just a simple and quiet life, reading small books and listening to small songs, I always feel that life should be like this. I used to yearn for the life of an ancient scholar-bureaucrat, a guqin, a piece of history, but the family and the world in the palm of my hand. However, perhaps, this is just a gorgeous performance, and once it is released, the actors have believed it to be a real play. When I saw their unbelievably broad sentiments and unreasonable scriptures, I admit that I had doubts. Things that are too beautiful will always make people feel illusory, and people who are too beautiful will only make others feel at a loss. I dare not assert that the noble character of the scholar-officials has the shadow of hypocrisy and vanity, but the "superficial" I think that they are getting farther and farther away from the "self-nature"... After all, they are the pyramids of the mainstream society tip.
Perhaps, Zhuangzi is the best at this point... If you let it go, you will really stop worrying about it. In this way, he will not forget to ridicule the powerful even when he is poor and lonely; in this way, he will be able to strike with joy when his wife dies. From another point of view, Zhuangzi is lucky after all. His life is a perfect interpretation of the edge, but the price he pays is relatively small. To a large extent, his life and his thoughts have given people a A hope about the fringe, a hope that the fringe and the mainstream can be blended with each other while being free to come out of it. This is also the reason why Zhuangzi is sought after by a large number of marginalized people...
However, luck does not always favor the marginalized, or it can be said that most of the marginalized people do not have the talent of Zhuangzi, and it is even more difficult to reach the height of Zhuangzi's thinking. Therefore, most of the marginalized people we have seen are divided into two categories. One is still stubbornly keeping a distance from the mainstream society, and their destination and life often make people sigh. The other type chooses to adapt to the mainstream society first for better marginalization in the future, but often things will eventually become out of control, or forget the original dream, or choose to burn with jade and stone, and most of these people are worldly. A successful person whom you admire.
In this film, Enzo is the best spokesperson for the world, diving is fun for him, and it is a tool that can bring applause and admiration. And Jack is a contradiction between the mundane and the edge. On the one hand, the love from Joanna makes him unable to stop, and on the other hand, the call from the edge makes it difficult for him to refuse. In the end, the mermaid took away Jack, who had a pious and pure faith. Belonging to Jack's edge, the price is life.
In fact, the edge is a dream that runs counter to mainstream values. As independent individuals, we all have or have always had this kind of unrecognized dream. Many people forget it, so they are recognized; some people remember it, so they are forgotten.
I think, Luc Besson's point of view is that if you give up the edge, the splendor of the world will open its loving arms to you, trying to affirm your value, maybe you will be happy in this way; of course, you can also choose to be stubborn If you don't compromise and never give up, then you will be lucky and content, but the price is sometimes so heavy that even the courage can't bear it...
