Thanks to my classmates

I gave it five stars without hesitation, because the male protagonist's troubles have been haunting me. I am ready to write full of negative energy.

I don't think the male protagonist can make peace with his jealousy in the end. The so-called answer (music) at the end is really scribbled, how long will this painkiller last? Can it last until tomorrow morning? I am absolutely pessimistic about the weaknesses of human nature, they come from a long evolution, torture people, but improve the probability of survival. The theme of the film is one of them: the sense of competition.

Life doesn't mean that lose to nature can find peace. Even if you figure out that it's good to be alive at least, everything will repeat, because you will still see and hear other people's lives. Friendship will help you. Don't have a circle of friends? It's okay, a friend will tell you. no friends? It doesn't matter, TV will tell you what the best life is and how bad your life is.

It's not a midlife crisis, it's a middle class crisis. At the moment I am not hopeless, all thanks to my classmates. Thank you for not being so good and making me burn with envy.
