A mediocre life-a chronic wasting disease

The Great Devil is as good as ever, although this kind of slightly psychological problem, the seemingly innocent person setting "Blue Jasmine" has already been performed, and the setting is a bit similar? The (upper class) caused me to jump a little bit, but your demon is your demon. There is no need for close-ups or hysterical performances. It is more of a look, an expression, and an action figure standing still, for example, Bernadette There is no extra action when you call the virtual butler’s long lines, or when you are insomnia watching your own documentary on the stairs, but you can receive information from the speed and tone of voice, and the expression-she is anxious. This anxiety has become the background color of the film, and combined with the normal advancement of the plot, it forms a sense of incongruity until the climax (the climax in the novel, the film’s performance is slightly mediocre, but it does not attract enough audience attention), When my husband and others thought Bernadette was mentally ill and planned to send her to a mental hospital, he was released. I have thought about this. Is Bernadette really overly depressed or anxious? After all, those things, driving over people, storing prescription drugs, trusting criminals, etc. can all be explained. Please, don't we want to hire a personal assistant to help us take care of the mess? parent meeting? Community dinner? Human boring socializing? If this is a mental illness, then everyone is a little bit more or less. Therefore, in my opinion, Bernadette’s life shown in the movie is almost exactly the same as our daily life, only magnified by her artist identity. The harmony makes the whole thing look natural and strange.

Is the artist wasted by a mediocre life? Yes

But what role do failures, changes, difficulties, identity and society bring about?

It's not that Bernadette can't live in the world as an artist, but the irrationality of life and the daily appearance of life have made her lose this ability. Stopping creation is not a subjective will, but a subjective will. The result after being murdered by objective facts.

But what's interesting is that under this incoordination, the plot (life) progressed normally for twenty years.

Putting aside the easiest conclusions, artists either create or become pests of society. From another perspective, society either allows artists to create or drives them crazy.

It's a pity that the society is dominated by ordinary people, isn't it, so the story often develops towards the latter.

What's more regrettable is that, as mentioned in the previous article, Bernadette's life background is so similar to ours. The incongruity she has encountered has the same essence as the incongruity we have encountered in life.

Who is the artist, or who decides who is the artist?

But I guess it’s not only artists who have the desire to create.

    Director of "Love at Sunset". A story from a female perspective shot by a man. The architectural genius Bernadette moved to an unfamiliar city in a fit of anger. Hiding from neighbors is like hiding from pests, best friends are teenage daughters, workaholic husbands seem to exist only in companies and TED talks. Daily voicemails written to myself while wearing headphones, outsourcing all chores to virtual assistants as far away as India. On the eve of the family trip, her husband thought she was so anxious that she was about to commit suicide, and brought her to a lunatic asylum with a psychiatrist. Bernadette escaped by jumping out of the window and embarked on a journey to Antarctica alone that made her anxious Going to work the next day. Even put on the usual TED tone to comfort her daughter: The most important thing is that it's not your fault. She pushed away the people who wanted to help her (sent her into the lunatic asylum), we don't have to look for it, she will return to our lives when she thinks about it.

    A ghostly and talented female architect. Since meeting her lover and entering marriage, she has not produced any works for 20 years. She has insomnia, anxiety, depression, cynicism, endless complaints, and is on the verge of collapse. When she shared her child-rearing intoxication and achievements to her old friend for many years, her friend kicked her ass to stop her from chattering about these nonsense that she didn't even believe: "The answer to all your problems is Get out of work and create." ——This can be said to be the theme of the film. How many talented women are buried in their marriages, playing excellent wives and mothers, but they can't find "self". This is also the general perplexity of women in "Marriage Story" through the mouth of a widow. Although the talented female architect is a fictional character, the works and concepts shown in the film are amazing. I want to know whether such a talented prototype really exists.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette quotes

  • Bernadette: I just need you to know how hard it is for me sometimes.

    Bee Branch: What's hard?

    Bernadette: The banality of life. But I retail the right to be incredibly moved by those little things no one notices. For better and worse.

  • Bernadette: I'll figure it out. I mean, that's what insomnia is for.
