Strong tragic

This movie is very tragic

Because this family is very tragic, my father was 21 years old in the UK to show his talents in the open air, and came to the American university to continue studying mathematics. At the age of 22, he overcame a problem and set foot on the pinnacle of life. After that, there was a series of downhill roads. The wife either died or divorced early. A pair of daughters and the eldest daughter left the family to go to New York to work alone as an adult. The second daughter was at a loss...

The paradox of this movie is whether the second daughter should be as good as the father or not. Like a father, he inherited his father’s genius, made his mark in the field of mathematics, and inherited his madness and discordant family life. He met a mediocre boyfriend who was unable to do anything in his field at the age of 26 and started a band of three-legged cats. What about getting married? Will you live a happy life?

Unlike my father, he would deny that the paper was written by himself, cut off his connection with mathematics, cut off the connection with this boyfriend, and embark on a new path independently. This is full of unknowns and confusion, and the second daughter dared not do it.

So, this is why she can’t confirm who the author of the paper is. It’s ambiguous, whether to become a father or to abandon her father. She is weak, she struggles, and she hates the group of people who claim to be father’s friends at the funeral. Why is she the most difficult and most in need? She didn't show up in the five years of help and guidance. She was not angry with her father, she was angry with herself.

At the end of the final, she came back to find the boy and brought her own essay. What this meant was that she had begun not to worry about whether life should be like her father, but whether life should be her own life, if it was her own life. , Then accept this boy, take the initiative to obtain information from the outside world, and then make judgments, instead of being destined to take the baton from his father to study mathematics, and destined to inherit his father’s crazy and miserable brain.

In fact, the eldest daughter is a normal and independent life, always knowing what she should want and how to do it. When I first arrived in New York, I took a very hard job and paid the rent. I no longer have close ties with my father. It seems that foreigners are like this. To be successful, you must leave the environment of a small city and go to a big city.

Proof quotes

  • Hal: Well, I'm gonna be late. Some friends of mine are in this band. They're playing in a bar on Diversey, way down the bill, they go on about 2 to 2:30. I said I'd be there.

    Catherine: Great.

    Hal: They're all in the math deparment, they're really good. They have this song called 'i', you'd like it. Like lower-cased i. They just stand there and don't play anything for three minutes.

    Catherine: Imaginary number.

    Hal: It's a math joke... You see why they're way down on the bill.

    Catherine: That's a long way to drive to see some nerds in a band.

    Hal: You know, I hate when people say that. It's not really that long of a drive.

    Catherine: So, they are nerds.

    Hal: Oh, they're raging geeks. But they're geeks who, you know, can dress themselves and hold down a job at a major university. Some of them have switched from glasses to contacts. They, uh, play sports, they play in a band, they get laid suprisingly often... So, it makes you kinda question the whole set of terms. Geek, nerd, wonk, dilbert, paste eater...

    Catherine: You're in this band, aren't you.

    Hal: Ok, yes. I play the drums. You wanna come? I never sing, I swear to God.

  • Robert: I hope you're not spending your birthday alone.

    Catherine: I'm not alone.

    Robert: I don't count.

    Catherine: Why not?

    Robert: I'm your old man. Go out with friends.

    Catherine: Yeah, right.

    Robert: Aren't your friends taking you out?

    Catherine: Nope.

    Robert: Why not?

    Catherine: For your friends to take you out, you have to have friends. Funny how that works.
