New York version of "Thunder Land"
The last time I made my scalp numb at the end of the movie like this was "Thunder in the Land": as the closing song sounded, the one-armed woman stood next to the sheriff's tombstone, the camera gradually zoomed out, and I burst into tears.
Not only is the ending too similar, the two films are also very similar in narrative style. One is dressed in a western film, and the other is a crime film. They all end in different ways, and they all tell stories about love in the end. And when will you insist on what you love can be called love. The plots of the two films have been very exciting from beginning to end, even if you really think of them as westerns or crime films, there is no problem at all. However, it is the last moment of the end. I want to say but I don’t want to say it through a very restrained approach. It reminds me of all the drama before (forgive me, I just finished watching "Orange" yesterday, and I was too impressed with this word... ), it is so reasonable that it will finally make people feel a kind of enlightenment.
Seeing the truth in adversity is true. The more difficult you are and the more you want to give up, you can still stick to what you believe and stick to what you love, which makes people most moving. Whether it is the pursuit of the justice shall be done by Dadi Jingleili, or the sheriff's persistence after being touched, even if I go up to the sword and go down the fire, I must insist on what I firmly believe in. This is love. The same is true in this film. The love of my brother for his brother is also supreme, and he is willing to do everything for his brother.
Ridiculous love
And at the end of this film, the clip from the mentally handicapped school brings the thinking about love into another dimension. The design of the younger brother’s identity in the film is really excellent and intriguing: mental retardation means that he lacks knowledge of self-will, he has no ability to discern the demands or wishes imposed on him by others, and he lacks the ability to discern "I think What do I want, what I don’t want", so he listens to what others say, except to take care of his own life, he lacks his own independent judgment and does not know what he wants to do. And it is this ingenious design that makes the conflict between the love of his brother and the love of society (represented by doctors) particularly intense. In the role of such a younger brother, we can clearly see: love, care, consideration for you, etc. These series of emotions, no matter how high-sounding they are, at best, we impose our will on others. Say goodbye. We treat what we think is good, what we think is good for you and hope you can get this kind of feelings, in fact, it is not for you, but for ourselves: through such a process, what we humans actually achieve is self-satisfaction. , And the establishment of our own identity. Our needs are far greater than what we want the other party to benefit from, or it can be said that we even do not care whether the other party can benefit from it for the sake of self-satisfaction and the realization of self-worth. Just like what my brother and the doctor did, everyone thought that I was treating my brother well and I was doing it for him. But in the final analysis, what the brother and the doctor got from this process was only the value of their own existence. Did my brother really feel it? Well, does he really benefit from it? No one knows, no one can judge. We love others, which is another manifestation of human selfishness. Through this process, we gain self-identification and find the value of our own existence. However, whether this kind of love is really good for the other party, we are arrogant or even blind, even this so-called Our love will eventually hurt each other and we will not hesitate, this is the ridiculous "love" of human beings.
Just like the stupid women in the film, they can do a lot for the so-called love they believe in, but in fact we all know that it is not love at all, but the brother is using them. What's more, even if they know this, it is very likely that they are not willing to let go, because their self-identity is built from it. If they lose this, they will lose the meaning of existence and the meaning of existence. It is the most painful for a person.
