From childhood to adulthood, I watched many films and TV works on and off. My favorite thing that shocked me the most is a beautiful manga called Rick and Morty. It is a masterpiece in my heart forever!
I won't go into details about the plot. Probably a genius and mad scientist Rick invented a portal gun, so he took his kind and somewhat retarded grandson Mor to explore the story of various parallel universes-～
The reason why it is called a masterpiece is not only because it has pierced the sky and the most psychedelic science, but also has an alternative interpretation of social hotspots, a satirical interpretation of politics, an in-depth analysis of human nature, and an in-depth analysis of life. The search for meaning, the philosophical analysis of the relationship between tiny human beings and the vast universe. And all of this is understated and careless in absurd and comical forms, yet vividly depicted, denying the value of everything with black humor. Watching this cartoon is like watching the novels of Wang Xiaobo and Lu Xun Camus, laughing and laughing but feeling stunned, and walking at a loss.
Rick in the film is always holding his middle finger, sloppy, seemingly selfish, arrogant, and indifferent. Actually fragile and gentle. Rick, who has traveled through the universe all the year round and has the ability to change the universe, has seen too much in his old age.
He is a seeker of the truth of "existence", but he "sinks" in the process of seeking. When I was burying myself on Earth with Morty, the phrase "You lift yours, I lift mine, it's fair, very fair" reminded me of the classic opening of "The Outsider" "Today, my mother died, maybe It was yesterday", equally absurd, even ridiculous. But, can't laugh. Burying his own body on the grass, life is no different from before, but this person is no longer another person, our morality, responsibility, meaning are still ours? Who are we?
Rick always said that he didn't care about anything, probably because of what Morty said when Summer ran away from home, "Every day I eat breakfast within 20 yards of my body" "There is no purpose in human existence. , people don't belong anywhere, everyone dies" he said "people's existence is a lie" "when you know that everything is no longer important, the whole universe is yours" even if it is powerful enough to control the universe , Rick still has no way to fight against nihilism, against this "everything doesn't matter anymore".
The universe is too big, and our tiny existence is like a joke in the entire universe? Human life is only a few decades, so what is the point of what we are pursuing? Life is impermanent, who can ensure their own heart in the next second Are you still beating eagerly?
These questions are unsolvable. I know my insignificance and lowliness, and I admit my cowardice and powerlessness. My existence is meaningless to the universe, but it is everything to me, the people I have met, the experiences I have experienced things, my joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, all that is the meaning of my existence.
But why do you still have a bad life when you understand the truth?
