"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.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and... life happens, you know'? Decisions get made. And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is new its going down." And there's just something a little depressing about that.

  • Nat: Is your name... Ethan?

    Jesse Fisher: No, why?

    Nat: You look like an Ethan to me.

    Jesse Fisher: My name's not Ethan.

    Nat: How cool would that be, if that was your name and I just, like, knew it?

    [Jesse shrugs]

    Nat: Are you a student here?

    Jesse Fisher: Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that. You?

    Nat: Nah, man. Just here visiting a buddy of mine. It's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh? I'm Nat.

    Jesse Fisher: I'm Jesse.

    Nat: Do you hear that music, Ethan?
