The train guessing generation

"Guessing the Train" is a highly controversial film in the UK-some people say it "causes drug abuse." Probably there are no paternalistic characters in this film, no moral conflicts, no big judgments at the end of the century, but a zero-point view.

In a gloomy apartment, a group of young people like this can clearly see how drugs are dissolved, heated, addicted, they have sex and undress, are naked, orgasm, and they suddenly draw the distance between you and him, looking straight, looking straight. !

Maybe you are also worried that your head teacher suddenly appears behind you to accuse you, but they are enjoying the paradise in a state of anarchy. They take drugs, they have promiscuity, they are violent, they rob, they are degenerate without cover up, a very gloomy life, in the director's black humor, it becomes like a strange bean, which is indescribable. You can say to them directly: No! Treat it as a different kind. You can also understand and pay attention to them, because they did what you didn't do-completely rebellious!

"The world is changing, music is changing, and drugs are changing. You can't escape from heroin for too long!" The youth of guessing the train will eventually come to an end. How does our youth end? Haven't you? Are you still choosing not to choose?

I heard someone say that I felt old after my twentieth birthday. By this standard, I had lost my youth for a long time. But I always feel like I'm still not picking up. I don't know if I am stubborn and naive or transparent. I woke up every day and heard that time was banging on my window. I seemed to owe some debts. Although I swept the bills into the drawer and turned a blind eye, I knew in my heart that I couldn’t afford it...

"Choose life, choose work, choose occupation, choose family, choose nasty big color TV, choose washing machine, car, laser disc player, choose health, low cholesterol and dental insurance, choose building mortgage, choose your friend, choose suit, Casual clothes and luggage, choose installments and three-piece suits, choose to watch boring game shows, eat snacks while watching...choose your future, choose your life...too many choices, what do you choose, I choose No choice."

I must live better than my parents, choose not to choose the life they give me; I don’t want to get married for the sake of marriage, choose not to choose a partner who appears around me at the right time; I don’t want to pay a few hundred dollars a month to those who are self-righteous Mei Xiao, choosing not to choose work, the normality of this world is hypocritical and shameless, then I choose not to choose normal life-if there is a reason for decadence, this is the reason.

Then, one day you discover that even if you refuse and give up, the world is still heartless, but you are abandoned. You will not change your failure because you don’t admit it. Just like Ricky, you have to betray and betray again. To live a rebellious life, get back to the right path. If you want to accept falsehood and accept the ordinary, you can't choose not, because you can't be youthful forever, you can't not grow up, and only those who die will be eighteen forever. To live is to choose-choose life, choose work, choose occupation, choose family, choose the nasty big color TV, choose washing machine, car, laser disc player, choose health, low cholesterol and dental insurance, choose mortgage, choose Your friends, choose suits, casual clothes and luggage, choose installments and three-piece suits, choose to watch boring game shows, eat snacks while watching...choose your future, choose your life-classify it Just to be accepted by this society, for sure!

The meaning of youth is a kind of wasting, a kind of negation,

The well-rounded process is a kind of pragmatism and a kind of correction.

Negative Negative but not affirmation, life is not mathematics

Betrayal of betrayal is not a return, everything will change, including the conclusion.

Because everything changes, all doubts have meaning

After all doubts, people will find their truth, perhaps not the truth, but the approximate truth.

Truth makes people peaceful, doesn't it? Like a tomb. Everyone ran towards it.

Therefore, I was attracted by thinking that none of us had the courage to escape from society, to live a step-by-step life, to be encouraged by society, ethics, morals, and norms. There was no free will. Even if we tried to flash a rebellious complex, we did not have the courage to abandon everything. But in this film, I can feel the free and easy that I have failed to achieve.

No matter what, we will finally return to reality.
