The original sentence of the title of this article should have been stated above. The first time I saw this sentence was in the Frenchman Bergbold’s novel "99 francs", which is famous for exposing the inside story of the advertising circle. The original author of this sentence, Romanian author EM Ziolang is not familiar to most people. During his lifetime, he was consciously isolated from the world in a solitary way, and always lived an incognito life. He rejected all utilitarianism and temptation, regarded honor as dung, and was called a writer "out of time". However, after he returned to the dust, the world still broke the law of survival he insisted on during his lifetime: his works spread in a wider range and were praised by more and more people, and when there was nothing to say, the glory was given to him. Crown.
Honor is not what Ciolang desires to obtain. He positions himself in the book to always be in the "center of the sentence": what he wants to do is not a pioneer or a terminator, but a "comma that always symbolizes incompleteness". ". Every comma in an article means that the story is unfinished. Here, Ciolang’s words can be understood as he is determined to dedicate his life to unfinished dreams and has no regrets. This era does not require too many people to act as great men, but more people need to selflessly choose the role of comma and choose to fight to realize their dreams. This kind of comma spirit is worthy of people's memory and respect.
When I watched "Fashion Devil", I couldn't help but think of Ciolang's declaration about commas, but the comma here is given a completely different meaning. In the film, the heroine Andy once received an acceptance letter from Brown University Law School. In order to realize her dream of working in The New Yorker, she resolutely gave up this opportunity and chose Cornell University's Department of Journalism. After graduation, this simple country girl ushered in a crucial interview in her life with her sloppy image. She also got a decent job that everyone dreamed of by coincidence. She accidentally hit a world-renowned fashion magazine. The second assistant to the editor-in-chief of the agency. In the eyes of others, what Andy got was an opportunity that she could not reach, but for Andy herself, it was tantamount to giving up her dream and asking for everything. After this turning point in life, Andy had to get used to adding a comma to every statement he made. For example,
it is to get an opportunity and give up another opportunity;
Choosing "Skybridge" magazine also means that you have lost all the choices you can choose; you are
finally going to be promoted, but you pay all your personal space for this;
think you have no choice, but in fact you have made a choice;
My name was Andy, but now my boss has given me a new name called Emily.
...
Andy also deliberately planned to be a guest in this appalling fashion circle, but in the end, this job he once disdained was no longer just a springboard to the "New Yorker". There is nothing in the world that has nothing to do with oneself. Faces that occasionally appear in the heart will take away their illusions, just like those naive dreams. Andy finally acquiesced in the changes this comma brought to her, and was willing to treat it as a good life opportunity. The power of a small comma is so powerful that it does not block anything but it is indeed a limit. From reality to another reality, who can cross it?
Andy once had a dream world, but now this world seems to be on the verge of collapse and collapse because of a comma. Adding a comma can make the logical level of a sentence more distinct, and the cause and effect can be clear at a glance, which shows that the author has learned to analyze an event more and more clearly while "mature", and even subvert the original meaning of the sentence. Andy’s life is changing, her pursuit is changing, and her clothing taste and even the size of her clothes are also changing with it. She is inextricably involved in a vain but unstoppable race, with time, life, and money. , Compete with countless inevitable reasons that are hard to describe and hard to refute. Maybe she has a reason. The reason is that the silver-haired woman in Prada in front of me is giving her endless orders. As the line in the movie says, "The one who makes you answer the phone every time is the one you really care about." Because of her, Andy has already gotten into the fashion circle and subconsciously decided to sacrifice Once those immature ideas.
"Fashion Devil" is not a very profound movie. The author's overly idealized plot setting is more or less naive and unreal. But what it reflects is indeed the normal state of modern life. I believe that everyone who has wandered in dreams and reality feels the same for Andy’s hesitation between sacrifice and pursuit, and has also experienced the struggle of the soul because of a comma. The turning point is the process of making a choice between one thought, and then abandoning the original dream and filling in his own life again and again. When the dream is pulled away, if there is no loss, maybe something else has been achieved? But in the end, do these gains really lack what they need? Are we worthy of such a comma willingly to let the dream we once cherished in our hearts die?
Nowadays, if you reach Andy's age, it is hard to be understood if you are still talking about dreams and pursuits. You are clearly living in a stage that was originally defined as prosperous, arrogant and arrogant, but now you can't help yourself, and you naturally have to make a look of vicissitudes and vicissitudes of life. Not to talk about happiness, you think that is an adjective for boys and girls to consider; not to talk about dreams, nowadays such a word is too bloated and hypocritical compared to a comma. You will even reflect with self-deprecating self-deprecating, how stupid you were once in the vicissitudes of life, young and frivolously pursuing Fenghuaqiuyue. Thinking of this, do you feel the power of a little comma? It is not philosophy, but it does not exist; as for dreams, you are afraid that it will not be able to carry the unbearable weight of those lives.
"I dream of a world where people can die because of a comma."
In the time we are experiencing, it is difficult to find the way to this comma. Because now the comma is playing a completely different carrier role under our feet, escorting us to a sensible worldview and goal. Then what you have witnessed is that countless Andy and Nate cherish each other's goodbyes in the fond memories of the past. In this highly material society, the true love that breeds between rational men and women goes from budding, splendid to final withering. No reason is needed. You will see young people around you who used to love literature, tremblingly writing professional names that are more likely to be highly recognized by the society and quickly hired by the company when they fill in their volunteers. Every time we complain about the pressure brought by the environment and shirk the right to choose to the social atmosphere, we are actually admitting that we are irresistible to temptation, vanity and worldliness.
Yes, it is not shameful even to admit it. If it were me, I would probably make the same choice as Andy. And I always feel that the ending of the story is too formulaic. A more reasonable situation is: Andy is sitting in the car, watching the bustle of the city as she did when she first arrived in Paris. Andy misses the scenery that has been left behind like those I once dreamed, but I will never look back. Nate won't forgive Andy. Despite the sentimental helplessness, love gradually disappeared in his heart. When he turned around, everything was being forgotten, even though it was so hard to leave her.
But if it were me, I would regret giving up my dreams and true love. Because I believe that deep down, each of us still has a longing for the last Andy who threw the phone into the wishing pool and left the white-haired witch. Our eyes are still full of praise for the girl who rediscovered her dream of being a reporter. Even if someone would say that life is much harder than movies...
Yes, life is much harder than movies. Therefore, it is not that simple to put aside your nostalgic dreams and become sensible in love. The teenager who said their dreams, the girl who fell in love with love, they can still remember the mentality of breathing in their mother's womb, they still have the trembling of encountering love, and they also have the right to leave a line of tears. Even if you will be disappointed, frustrated, or sentimental... But shouldn't the choices you make when dealing with feelings be justified? At least in the face of yourself and the people and things you love, you are still sincere and kind, brave and free.
The comma that makes the dream world gradually die is actually nothing but a desperate situation caused by our selfishness, greed and cowardice. This kind of desperation is not pain, but worse numbness. The devil was never the silver-haired woman, but the dress called Prada on her.
