I'm sleeping!

It seems like I haven't seen a movie in a long time. After the 2019 National Day holiday, I have been seriously studying baking in the kitchen, and I have also tried long-distance running in the past, in order to decompress and experience life. But in the end it's the movies that comfort me the most. I always enjoy the process of sitting quietly in the dark listening to other people's stories for two or three hours.

Recently watched the summer of the band, listening to the songs of the tour group. Forgot where to read the comments that people who have achieved a lot are often not affected by the surging Internet, they keep their schedules and live active lives. In fact, I have written about this in my essay, but it is reiterated in the film. I'm also consciously not spending so much time in other people's lives and meaninglessly enjoying myself. The tour group sang "byebye, my old world; byebye, the world of the Internet." I drew them on the back cover of the essay. This is indeed what I hope to do in the new year.

Ah, there are actually mosquitoes in the room, it's winter and twelfth lunar month.

The website rates the film a 5/10. This kind of narrative film is indeed not popular, facing the screen for two hours, the content is almost a dialogue between two people. I don't get bored. The plot aside, I just like the shooting technique and the composition of the shots. Although it is also a straightforward approach, I like this movie more than Florida Paradise. On the one hand, I have to admit that I really like Shunxi, and his role in this film is also my favorite image of the writer. On the other hand, the soundtrack of this work is really to my stomach.

To be honest, I admit that there are some lines that I still can't understand with my experience. But in the part that I can understand, there are substantive answers to the doubts in my life. When the list of producers and cast members was scrolling after the movie ended, I suddenly felt a peace that I hadn't felt in a long time, that I didn't have any other thoughts other than listening to the song quietly. In short, I am very grateful for all this recently, which has allowed me to start to get rid of the noise on the Internet, and let me start to slowly start to embrace life again.

    you're so much better than everybody cause you can see how this is just a delusion and you're so much worse because you can't fucking function...it's really horrible.

    Focus on the follow-up interview of the Rolling Stone reporter with the writer Wallace. I thought it would be boring, but through the dialogue between the two people, the inner analysis of Wallace to the protagonist's self-mapping, and then promote the subtle development of the relationship between the two, is quite attractive, and every conflict in each dialogue is worthy of careful consideration. Of course, the core of the movie’s excitement is Jason Segel’s vivid interpretation of a lonely writer who is inferior, self-abasement, autistic and eager to accompany. It is a breakthrough and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

  • David Lipsky: Do you wanna have kids?...

    David Foster Wallace: Yeah, I think that writing books is a little like raising children, y'know -you have to be careful; mm; it's ok to take pride in the work, but I think it's bad for someone to want the glory to reflect back on you.
