And unsurprisingly, the end of the film comes with Queen’s "Under Pressure". What’s
funny is that in a poem class, a black guy actually used the lyrics of Under Pressure to prevaricate the protagonist (Kyle’s father, also a poem from Kyle’s high school). Class teacher).
As a father, he hoped that his child would have a good reputation after death, and forged the scene of his son's suicide. In fact, his son Kyle strangled himself by improper taste.
This is understandable, the problem is that Kyle's father forged a suicide note, and this letter comes from this dad who has a gift for writing and is depressed.
It is not so much a suicide note, as it is a surrealist poem, so with the publication of the suicide note, Kyle instantly became a celebrity in the school and became a symbol. The students printed Kyle's head portrait on the T-shirt, tattooed on the body, etc.
Seeing this, did you think of our Kurt Cobain?
According to legend, Kurt Cobain committed suicide by shooting himself because he couldn't bear the commercialization of his own music. Kurt thus became a banner of anti-commercialization.
However, another rumor was that Kurt could not bear the pain of his stomach, and finally committed suicide with a gun.
Assuming that the latter rumors are correct, it’s just an assumption that I don’t want to offend Nirvana fans, not to mention myself.
Assuming the latter rumors are correct, everything is not like Kyle in the film?
By the way, there is a detail in the film that Dad wanted to name his son's diary (of course, Dad later wrote by himself) "I hate myself". . .
coincide? Nirvana Zengjin also wanted to give his album a similar name.
So, back to the movie, why did such a so-called "farce" happen, the son died accidentally while masturbating, the father forged the suicide note, and then the son became a symbol.
Then why does this happen? After all, the so-called "era" needs "heroes." Just like Mike, another writing teacher in the high school in the film, the reason why he won his first submission was not because he wrote a good article, but because his article was a symbol of the resistance to the colored in the NBA at the time. Race injustice. I remember that Rodman also complained about the care of the big bird back then. He didn't know the environment very well, but it might be true. And the protagonist’s father was born at an untimely time, even though he has a gift for writing, what about? Listening to outdated songs and like outdated poets are destined to be out of tune with this world. What this world needs is a public personality, even if you don’t actually have anything. This is a fast-food, quick and empty society. Kyle's death became an opportunity that made Kyle's father unintentionally famous for fast food, but in the final analysis, it was just an empty social need to sustenance. Kyle's father himself knew that Kyle didn't like him very much.
As a result, the conflict intensified (Kyle's friend andrew talked to Kyle's father) and resolved it in the most intense way (Kyle's father absolutely announced the truth), and of course everything was relieved in the end (a classic diving scene). All this is accompanied by Queen's Under pressure, which is extremely appropriate.
PS I prefer David Bowie's version of Under Pressure.
