When I watched "Deeper Than the Sea", I only felt the heaviness of the years. The male protagonist was once a young literary man and won awards for his novels, but he did not become a best-selling author like Haruki Murakami, but persisted in writing in the fighting room while working as a private detective. What is even more frightening is that he also loves to gamble and loses all his income, and can't even pay his son's alimony. His ex-wife is a real estate salesman and has already found a new boyfriend. He is unwilling to let go, but unable to get it back, he can only follow her secretly. A typhoon night gave their family a chance to reunite, but after the rain and the weather, nothing changed.
At the end of the day, a family is an economy and without a source of income it is bound to collapse. Love belongs to teenagers, not to middle-aged people. There is only one theme in the life of middle-aged people, which is to make money. Merry is always blown away by rain and wind, but assets are not. Just like the hero's mother going to the community's classical music exchange, so many old women surrounded an old man. This old man must not have to worry about his livelihood, so he can enjoy music in his leisure time.
I feel more and more that the so-called dream is actually a nihilistic thing, vulnerable to the heavy burden of life, probably I have quietly grown old.
