plastic buddies

I thought it would sing the praises of the "Beat Generation", but the ending was short but meaningful: "Friend" abandoned his sick self and took away the last money in his wallet-Searle finally saw the "friends" who had been with him for several years. "Brother" is just "plastic buddy love", and Dean's downfall in the end is also embarrassing - of course, Searle no longer accepts the person who betrayed him at this time.

The theme of "On the Road" is actually to express the yearning for a "normal" life after the wandering Dio came off bleak - though it looked like he deserved it.

I have seen this kind of "brotherhood" in my cousin's and my father's generation. They are like Searle and Dean. They are social, travel the world, make promises, call each other brothers, and cut swords for each other. In the end, they all disappeared and died. Don't mention it - and the reason why it disappeared may be because of the inconsistency of values ​​that were discovered more and more later, or it may be a small contradiction. I believe that they have been sincere and unforgettable, but in the end they have not met the ending of disbanding and forgetting.

But this is youth.

I also don't believe in this kind of friendship that is like saying that a friend is a friend - how can a solid friendship be formed without the basis of a real substantive shared experience. Therefore, for friends who have no common experience and are friends, I always feel empty and deliberate, and calling me back as a friend is just a social courtesy. True friendship requires time and the precipitation of common experience - knowing each other's bitterness, seeing each other's joy, working together, and going through a journey together. Nothing is set in stone, love, family, and friendship. When you start to miss or pay homage to a relationship, it means that it is over; when you feel that a relationship needs to be maintained and extended, it means that it has been declining or continued, whether it is a relationship in life or work. Many times, you can't feel the existence of a friendship at its peak - but it's happening, and it's the most complete, natural, state that can't be reproduced no matter how much you try to recall it in the future. .

Was it doomed to watch this movie at this time - when I wanted a child the most.
