"I'll be better in that world where you find your way and open another door and forget about this sweet little tidbit." Stewart's time as an innocent kid was too short (in fact his Life is so short), but after watching his "Rewind Life" from the perspective of Alexander's company, I am still moved by his honest soul. If the anger is divided into 1 to 10, his anger is 11. He drove his car to smash the glass wall of the store countless times to carry out robbery, fight with a knife, and force his wife and children away... Alexander teased, alarmed more than 40 police officers, and was released on bail. What are you dissatisfied with this system? ? In fact, this also reflects the absurdity of this system. From Stewart's personal experience as a child, to the various prisons he saw in various prisons when he grew up, to his own criminal handling, it all reflected the unbearableness of the London system and the life of the lower classes at that time. But when he was drunk, he yelled at the police who drove by. Do you know how many prisoners were murdered by the jailers? To the congressman, he swallowed the dirty words he said about the living conditions of the homeless people who freeze to death on the streets every winter; he sent Alexander away, gave him a taxi with a few crumpled wine bills tucked into the sleeves of his jacket, and stopped him from a distance. , Alexander, you are a good man. Despite the shabby house he lived in, he cooked food for Alexander earnestly and diligently.
There are a lot of details in the film that moved me. Stuart pressed the meat on the toast with his entire palm, but he did not forget to instruct Alexander when he gave it to Alexander, be careful of being hot-although Alexander secretly threw it to the bottom of the bed because of the miserable selling, and saw the two of them sitting on Stuart later. In the small broken bed, and finally watching TV while eating afternoon tea, I will still be happy for this emotion.
He hated the middle class so much before, just as the middle class held the same prejudice against him. But the jolly look of him driving a go-kart on the lawn like a child made me feel either shame or joy. Stewart never understood why Alexander regarded him as a friend, thinking "it's so weird". In the kitchen, he pressed, Alexander quipped, because you're funny, smart, and easy to get along with, don't you want to write me a love letter yet? Stewart once said that only people like me are the ones who suck to the end, right? Only we are broken and hopeless. No one has ever encouraged him, he is just a negative material for parents to educate their children, he is the child of devil, he still thinks that he has too many old enemies, and his "black fog" doesn't know when it will break out. Therefore, in the face of Alexander's appearance and company along the way, his attempts to understand and be close and friendly, Stewart did not understand, and was even a little flattered. Although Alexander always claimed that it was to make enough money to be famous for writing books, such worldly reasons. But I guess it's more than that - mercenaries probably don't have the patience to take an interest in a dangerous bum for so long, or sneak in his biography in the window and say "I think he'll like it". What struck me the most was Stewart's answer to the question "The one thing I want to change the most." Not my own inborn illness, not the malicious torture I endured, but "the day I used violence." From deliberately angering yourself to get dozens of times stronger to deal with bullies, to being unable to control your anger and sometimes going mad. What he regrets most is that he pushed himself to the end, and what he fears most is that he is unable to control himself and hurt others. He said that he tried to use fire and cut with a knife to force out the demon in his heart. After all, he was powerless to commit suicide, because "the devil doesn't want to be homeless." The pain from his childhood was too deep, and despite his best efforts, he could not achieve reconciliation, and it was not his fault.
He said that there are many children who have had similar childhood experiences as mine, and that they slowly learn to accept it and lead normal and meaningful lives, which I am very pleased with. This is one of the things I admire most about him. In fact, we bystanders always say that victimization is not an excuse to do evil and retaliate in turn. However, the bad consequences caused by some murders are that a person may not be able to get out of it in his life. The damage of their souls has caused them to give up their attention to the physical senses. The decadent feeling that cannot be rescued is like a corrosive poison. All the time, their numb bodies clearly show the uncontrollable pain. I don't think anyone is qualified to make any demands on them anymore. Being able to find a way to stay in the world itself is not easy, and it doesn't seem too regretful to leave this world. Because the world puts them through something other than the love and kindness we take for granted. But it is full of despair, misanthropy, and extremes. Because love and kindness are still a mainstream, in the final analysis, they are still the ultimate needs that human beings yearn for and pursue. Whether it is selfish or selfless.
Stewart tried and longed to heal himself and live a normal and meaningful life, but he couldn't do it well. He blamed it more on himself. And yet it was this - he never gave up escaping that madness, and also made a certain positive effort, taking on an almost angelic quality, as opposed to what he called "child of devil". Stewart lived a "very controversially unpleasant life" and eventually died in a sudden and unsurprising moment. The tramp danced on his grave, and early the next morning, the sister took away the empty wine bottles scattered there. Alexander was still driving the wrecked car playing Stewart muttering, but he was in tears listening to it.
But this is not a sad movie. Alexander and Stewart joked from time to time, and the atmosphere of getting along was relatively relaxed and free. The light and simple style of painting and the occasionally inserted animation imagination have almost transitioned out those darker and heavy pictures. The only thing that impresses me is the image of a homeless man with baggy trousers, looped legs and a mouth full of fuck, and the image of a young writer who is so interested in a homeless man with a shirt, a messenger bag, and thin-framed glasses. For such a heavy topic, the movie retains more bright parts, relatively weakens the dark parts, and the boys with rich country guitar harmonica elements play and sing interludes, which make the overall sense more inclined to the warm and soothing side. Therefore, such a narrative also distances the audience from the story itself, which I think will be more healing than the usual exposing cruelty. Showing such a character's current state of existence after experiencing cruelty, his struggle between good and evil, will extend deeper enlightenment in the bland and novelty, not only to strengthen the cruelty itself, so that people will be disappointed again and again after the shock. Nothing but negative reactions.
