"Love in the Arts": The soul refuses to grow, and the soul is old

In the process of watching it, I felt that the people around in the movie are actually a mirror image of the protagonist himself.

Dean is a juvenile genius with a rich spiritual world but a sharp and sensitive attitude towards the real world, and even chooses to escape in extreme ways. He advised Dean not to just immerse himself in books, not to be a genius who died young. In fact, why not persuade yourself to get out of the ivory tower?

Although the professor regarded retirement as a relief, and described the campus as a prison after staying for too long, but when he was really facing leaving, he felt that I had lived on the campus for most of my life, so after leaving the campus, I felt that I didn’t know what to do. Measure, at a loss. It is difficult to face an unfamiliar environment.

Even the mysterious passer-by who insists on calling Jesse Neat on the road also represents the inexplicable little emotions of literary youth, those romantic plots that have nowhere to be placed.

This is the case with liberal arts students. After reading a lot of books, they always want to hide in books.

But where is a pure utopia? When a nineteen-year-old girl is willing to give everything, Jesse is afraid of the age gap and is afraid of being responsible; when the cool female teacher regards sex as a physical need for everything, Jesse suddenly needs a spiritual resonance academic discussion; the final choice When there are academic discussions and emotional contacts, I always feel that I chose her just because it is "suitable".

Admit it, your mind refuses to grow and wants to live in utopia; but your soul is already old, learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and learn to do "appropriate" things.

    Four and a half stars. I like this movie very much. The details and dialogue are well grasped, reflecting the anxiety of young people who are eager to grow up, the post-30s generation who miss the green years after struggling in reality, and the powerlessness of middle-aged and elderly professors towards life. It's lighthearted and humorous, and there are many scenes that moved me to tears.

    I like Elizabeth Olsen's little fresh and cute look, she has become a little princess of independent movies. Age can really be a hindrance sometimes. It is rare in the world that a person who understands you, you also understand that person. Not to mention whether they can really come together even if they meet.
