Never been able to understand Edward Norton until I collapsed under the pressure and couldn't find myself

As usual, I didn’t want to write a paper in the evening when I finished the topic, so I took advantage of the night to sort out my previous movie notes.

Only a film like Blades of Grass will make me go through several books, but I will not be willing to throw it away after copying it again and again.

If you want to say one of the kind movie in your mind, it is Blades of Grass; if the actor of the only one, it must be Edward Norton. In short, neither this movie nor this person is popular with the public, and it will not even appeal to the minority. Only a small group of people can really be moved by him and Whitman in the film. ——Impressed, from the level of the soul.

What is called from the level of the soul.

I don't know movies, but I believe in feelings. What I call this layer is that even this movie that I watched more than a year ago can give me the same feeling at any time. It's like I copied the phrase "They still happened." Over and over again, four hundred days and nights, every moment, I can feel the same sadness.

Norton is good at acting like this and doesn't know what kind of splits have happened in his life.

But I remember those days clearly. I have never been lost, how dare I say that my personality is split. It may sound funny to others. Only by experiencing it can we see every ounce of joy and sadness, boundless fear, or real peace of mind from Norton.





In the end you and her, or she and you.

You and him, or him and you.

If you can't tell the difference



and why you should distinguish





the hardships and loneliness of life, there is always another partner who will follow you all the way, reminding you not to sink too much, not to be too frivolous, not too deep, not to forget the pressure, and not to collapse under the heavy pressure. Even having this partner just adds to the loneliness of life.


Everything is worth it.

    The sword never gets old.

    Norton's usual strong acting is about the dualism of love and fear. Whether it is a respected professor of an institution of higher learning, who starts with a discussion about maintaining his spiritual world, or a "ruffian" who grows marijuana, he comes out with a speech that insists on his pure natural cultivation method. In fact, through the phenomenon In essence, the two brothers are the same kind of person. The film also slightly satirizes religion, which makes me like it, and the soundtrack is very good

Leaves of Grass quotes

  • Janet: You still leaving tomorrow.

    Bill Kincaid: I think so.

    Janet: I'll miss you.

    Bill Kincaid: And we barely know each other.

    Janet: "You have not known what you are. You have slumbered upon yourself all your life. Your eyelids have been the same as closed most of the time. What you have done returns already in mockeries. The mockeries are not you. Underneath them, and within them, I see you lurk."

    Bill Kincaid: [absorbing what she'd just quoted] Who was that?

    Janet: Walt Whitman.

    Bill Kincaid: I don't think I ever imagined hearing him recited to me by a girl gutting a 40 pound catfish.

    Janet: That's exactly how he should be recited. He wrote without rhyme or meter. Free verse. Just whatever he felt inside coming out in one intricate rhythm. Pure unashamed passion, without definable restriction.

    Bill Kincaid: I'm sorry, see, I have a few issues with that.

    Janet: Why?

    Bill Kincaid: Because some have dared to suggest that even poetry has rules.

    Janet: Or you make your own.

    Bill Kincaid: Right there, that's the part I never bought into.

    Janet: Because?

    Bill Kincaid: If everybody runs around making their own rules, how can you ever find what's true? There's nothing... there's nothing to rely on.

    Janet: "One night, I split my cicada skin, devoured your leaves, knowing no poison, no law of nourishment in that larval blindness, a hunger finally true."

    Bill Kincaid: Who's that?

    Janet: That's me.

  • Brady Kincaid: I ain't gonna manufacture or purvey anything that I ain't gonna ingest into my own sweet self.
