young guitar artist, believes that his guitar art is ranked second in the world. His only weakness: When he sees the world's strongest brother, he will suddenly faint.
Emitre drinks, plays billiards, makes big shots, is late... these are all qualities of an artist. Of course the most important thing is that when it comes to women, he is a non-stick cookware... He said: I am an artist, and an artist must be independent.
He took the woman to the suburbs, took out a pistol and aimed at the mouse, and then went to watch the train together. These two items are reserved by the artist.
If women have a good impression of him, when they say they want to maintain a "long-term relationship", he will skillfully use "art" as a shield to show his identity, draw boundaries, and find the right opportunity to escape in one fell swoop.
Perhaps the artist Mr. Emitre doesn't like anything but himself and the guitar.
(Note: His wife once told a wild man: There is no pleasure in having sex with an artist.) The
artist talks to a newly acquainted woman about the love affairs of the past, and the woman as a listener will realize that one day she will become a role in the story. .
Just a role.
But finally one day, the artist ran into a pure little dumb Lady Emmet. An angel who really likes him. Emmet watched the artist play guitar, table tennis, and mouse with affection, and liked to go to the train together.
She is his sweetness.
They spent many sweet and poor days together.
But, Emitre, our guitar master, how can he spend his ordinary life with a washer, a little dumb? ! He is to be a great artist, besides, there are so many beautiful women on the road to freedom. Artists need independence, freedom and passion.
The artist ran away. Although Emmett’s name was still called in the dream, the artist got married—it can be considered an escape from Emmett.
But before long, the beautiful writer's wife hooked up with a strong murderous bodyguard. The marriage failed.
When the artist returned to New Jersey again and carefully proposed to reconcile with Emmet, he accidentally learned that the heroine was married and had a child... The
artist tried to return to the original life and hook up with women, but the women didn’t If you like trains, you can't really like him. On the side of the train track, the artist played a familiar tune, and at the end of the song, he smashed the guitar into pieces.
If this typical moral story is placed in the background of the 1930s, the dumb laundryman Emmet looks very much like the pure heroine in Chaplin's films-she is still silent, as if she came out of a silent film.
The problem is that the urban proletarian played by Chaplin finds happiness once he finds the pure heroine; and our artist is very disdainful to surrender to a simple fool who truly loves himself...he loves himself and art.
The tragedy of the artist is that he considers himself an "artist".
The practice of "greatness and lofty" is not "sweetness and humbleness".
The trivial life, those ordinary poor days, simple partners, are simply traps! Stifled artistic creativity and motivation.
However, the interesting thing about moral drama is that when the artist goes home tiredly after going through the wind and rain-he thinks he is an Odyssey, and his wife will always be loyal to the family.
But found the harsh reality, and the safest love disappeared.
Since then, art has also been reflected.
Compare it with the image of Tereza in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". She appeared as a weak person. After the one-night stand, Tereza appeared in front of Thomas's room holding "Anna Karenina". She caught a cold and stayed beside Thomas with a face.
Although Thomas is not an artist, he is more free and independent than an artist.
Only Tereza, a pure little fool who is obsessed with love, can change his life. The female artist Sabina is just a lover.
The core of the moral story is Emmet, the heroine Chaplin or Tereza... what they have in common is "sweetness and humbleness". The real Snow White. Fate always makes them appear once, but the result is different.
Artists, as well as most men who imagine themselves as artists, habitually evade the Snow White who is sent to the door, and pursue the ethereal and open poetry.
The artist-sitting on the moon and wearing the clothes of stars, this kind of romantic moment, but found himself trembling. The paper moon is beautiful but unreliable.
Is this a tragedy of life?
Contrast with the previous quote from Honey. What is happiness? In life, in novels, there are always dilemmas. The question is: what is the so-called true self?
