Louie Louie you're gonna die
Brother Louie at the beginning actually made the center of the whole series very clear, that is, the so-called absurdity of existence.
Louis, middle-aged divorced, single with two children, comedian, the greatest meaning of life to him is the child and his career, I remember an episode where he once said that if the child grows up, he might commit suicide
In fact, sometimes we take the meaning of life too important, as if there really is a God, or God asshole give a shit, what Louis mentioned in a comedy way is actually the so-called existentialism, as Sartre said, Our existence precedes the essence, but it also introduces the sense of absurdity described by Camus. A table has its value, a watch has its value, and as a human being with flesh, blood and wisdom, we cannot find ourselves. The meaning of existence, isn’t that ridiculous?
Some people think that the value of the public is the meaning of life, such as getting married and having children. Some people place their hopes on their profession. Whether it is a writer writing a book or creating benefits for society to benefit the public, it is to prove their existence, because we always Will one day die, isn’t it? Who can prove the so-called reincarnation eternal life?
I especially like the shot of Louis walking through the streets of New York at midnight. He wanders without any purpose. His eyes are empty and confused. Sometimes he enters a doughnut shop, but after he comes out, he falls into emptiness and confusion. It is like our life, walking around. , I don’t know what’s ahead and where I’m going, but I know there’s a destination waiting for us, maybe it’s victory or death
Is life really meaningless? Whether it is like Camus said that when reason kills reason, one has to consider whether to throw into the embrace of death. In fact, it is not, but embracing this sense of absurdity, this anxiety and vain, embracing meaninglessness.
As Nietzsche said, God is dead, we have killed God, and accept this dawn. Be your own god. Since our existence has no established meaning, it is actually the greatest meaning, because we can create meaning. It's like having a white drawing board. We are in charge of whatever color is painted and what shape is painted, and we are responsible for it.
But most people always don’t understand this reason, or they don’t want to be responsible for themselves. Indeed, it would be much easier if they could pass the responsibility to the society to others, or put on self-deception glasses and live in a lie. . In fact, anxiety is nothing. Kierkegaard once said that the reason why humans are better than animals is because we will despair, and people who are not desperate will have no hope. So in fact, it is inevitable and beneficial to be confused or desperate, because only in this way can we truly know what we want, listen to our inner voice, and create our own meaning in life. No one can help us, only us. Own
I admire the core of existence and nothingness wrapped in the cloak of Louis comedy. But in fact, comedy is not the best way to face life and our meaningless lives. Life is terrible and disaster no matter what. It will fall on your head at any time, so why not happily laugh at the words and laughter that was idiotic, and sleep on your feet, and the life geometry, until only the soil buns are left, it is not in vain to walk in this world, I think if I want to be on my tombstone If you engrave something, it must be a happy life, then my life is not in vain.
