Since 2017, I have suffered from insomnia from time to time, which was a rare occurrence in the past. When I was hanging out at costco this Saturday, I was perfunctory about what's this what's that and chatted with gxj about the symptoms and causes of insomnia last night. When there might be a solution, he said, "Well, you have a mid-life crisis. Let me invite you to a movie." Two hours later, we were sitting in a certain theater at AMC in century city, and we had to sit because we were late. In the second row, gxj said, you see there are a few chairs in front. . . .
The film tells a typical story of a midlife crisis. The most famous midlife crisis movie before was called "American Beauty", and it was finally solved in an extreme way. In contrast, the story is so bland, so bland that I don't know what to describe it other than the jokes. But the room was full of laughs, whenever Brad fantasized to the rhythmic violin background music.
How did the midlife crisis in the final movie get resolved?
One is music, or art, a spiritual realm that may originate from life but must be detached from life. This is also what Wang Xiaobo said, "It is not enough for a person to be used in this life and this world, he should also have a poetic world.
" Family love, in fact, I'm curious how a layman like the hero found such a detached wife and raised such a calm son (it is estimated that the son was raised by his wife). The seventeen-year-old son finally said the truth that his father doesn't even need to understand at the age of forty-seven. People care about themselves the most. No one cares about you except yourself and maybe a few people. Then, when a person is confused, he should ask those people what they think and what they should do to become a better person in the eyes of these people and make the lives of these few people better.
The third is health. In other words, everyone is equal before death. All the glitz that caused the mid-life crisis is actually not brought by life or death. gxj once told me a saying that accumulating more or less material wealth under the premise of worrying about food and clothing, the only result of this act itself is that a person dies with more or less money (unless the person's career itself is accumulation of wealth), of course I scoff at this view but I have to admit that this is the source of some people's lack of panic. If the son in the movie can maintain the innocent heart of a seventeen-year-old, he will not suffer from the mid-life crisis again in this life.
After the movie was over, the credit line was played, the lights came on, and the host invited the young male lead and director to come in and sit in the chair we questioned earlier. The director shared some personal experiences. For example, the story is based on his father's prototype. He has been a non-profit organization for a lifetime and has no money. When he retired, he was worried about whether his life was a failure. "But I don't think so. I love him very much and think he is a very good person, so I made such a movie." . . "But when my dad saw this movie, he said ah ah ah, is this protagonist crazy? His first reaction didn't realize that it was himself hahaha. Of course, the image of the male protagonist has undergone certain artistic processing."
Then in the question-and-answer session, I asked an obvious SB question, that is, the nick in the movie was played by the director himself, why did he play this supporting role by himself (does he imitate Hitchcock)? The director laughed and said that because of the limited budget, not only I acted, but also the assistant director and the assistant cameraman. When shooting the wedding scene in Honolulu, I said that since the crew had already flown in Here, everyone who receives the lunch box should go to be the extras, so. . . Played Nick because he was the only one of the supporting characters who didn't have a line. . .
What saves the hero in the movie is Dvorak's scherzo. This is the best classical music that I think and Schubert's Serenade. music town hall
