The world itself is shit

A few shots that I thought would be a turning point, but the reality is so cruel.

1. Andre and Lilia were in the car to go to the airport. Lilia smiled at him innocently (even knowing that he would not accompany her to Sweden). The smile was really sad. It’s hard to imagine that after being abandoned by her mother, occupied by her aunt, humiliated by classmates, raped, forced to sell her body as if all misfortunes have been touched by her, she can still smile so sincerely and happily at people. Andre is here. The eyes fluttered under the smile, and he kissed Lilia. I thought that this kind of not daring to look straight is out of human nature, maybe he would really go to her, but I forgot it was a tragedy, I forgot the original face of the world, but there is still darkness under such a beautiful smile, just It’s really sad that the streets of the Soviet Union are hard to clean by rain.

2. When the client said that I could shake your hand, I thought I saw the flash of humanity, just like a male teacher in detachment. It’s a pity that one of the director’s shots shattered my fantasy, and the changing faces afterwards were even more sad. Each one is so ugly. The soul is imprisoned in the body, which can only be felt in the short moments of cheap transactions and ejaculation. Pleasure, false and unfamiliar. Facing Lilia who was only their daughter’s age, she groaned without shame, thinking of "Lover", writing that he kept crying while having sex with Duras, although Duras wanted to write about the weakness of Chinese men, but one People who can feel the pain of others are not bad at least. I don't know what to sue, as the movie says: this world is a puddle of mud.

Wilde said to me: Everyone lives in the gutter, but there are still people looking up at the stars. I have always regarded the previous sentence as a standard, and I also imagined that someone would look up at the stars, just like when I watched this movie I always believed that there would be a flash of humanity, but unfortunately, no matter how idealistic you are, the world is a shit.

    How can there be such a cheap thing to directly kill you. I kept thinking about it until the end. This is the only movie I've seen so far where the protagonist gives up on himself, but it doesn't depend on his subjective choice at all. She made me fall into a mental predicament, and I can't do it if I want to be better. Nordic people still can't understand the concept. Regarding her relatives occupying the house, in fact, many people here are not easy to understand...

    In the context of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the life of thousands of people was desolate. The collapse of the social order made civilians suffer and no one was willing to lend a helping hand. If the public officials and the cents disintegrated China, the experience of these Russians will be our future.
