Emotions are crying

This is a complete story, but nothing is told, leaving a gray beach.

The older you get, the more you will look for the Chinese and American bits of life in the past, and you will have the emotional support of "falling leaves and returning to the root". Old men, often successful old men, are more attractive to young women. What time leaves on a person is not only the passing of years, but also the accumulation of experience.

The "scumbag" painter depicted in Somerset Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" abandoned his family and went to the ocean to pursue the beauty he saw, but his abandoned wife and children. I saw some shadows in this film. It is to stick to morality, but in the eyes of the world, morality is to continue a marriage that is no longer happy, and a man's soul of freedom is imprisoned in prison. Marriage, a heavy and constant word.

Is the system of modern marriage correct or not? Why do people in the world set up a memorial archway to call those who stand by themselves "scumbags" when they are desperately cheating? Is facing one's own desires the return of the bestiality and the loss of reason? As Somerset Maugham says in the book, people probably haven't found their own piece of paradise.

Elegy quotes

  • George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.

    David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.

    George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

  • David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
