On Christmas Eve, this movie actually woke me up late at night.
The world is silent, and I vaguely hear the "Little Apple" that has been screaming on the road for a year, and it must be the brawny who rushed back to their nest from the night market. All kinds of inverted images and fragments of thoughts come, like this dying 2014. We have no time, except for the poor "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year", nothing new.
What a pathetic and humble human being, who is so powerful on the outside that it can destroy hundreds of earths, but can never take care of his own dry mind. Ganquan is always only one step away from the desert, but it takes endless time to dig. Tiny humans thought they were armed with teeth, only to find that one day they had no teeth, and even swallowing and drinking soup became a luxury dream. In addition to human beings' ability to destroy themselves, what else is left? Had they never considered how to save the earth instead of destroying themselves? ! I am stupid, but Lenovo is boundless.
The commendable Jason Reitman directed "Men, Women and Children" (2014), traveling around the world from the Voyager launched in 1977, and then cutting into the real Internet world. From home to school, from adults to children, a series of people and events just burst out silently. Adults can't help looking at children with their own tastes, and even imposing them on children with their own absolute will. As a result, there are only choking and sadness at the end.
In fact, in the adult world, in addition to children, there is also their own life. Some of their husbands and wives respect each other like ice, die like withered, and have to seek out vitality. This is not simply classified as a stimulus-seeking, but in fact it is a last resort. This is not a betrayal, but a glue that is moving towards a new bridge. The thing is that couples who have both derailed are getting back together and have the possibility of a longer life.
Life is a mess. Everyone is different, so they cannot be classified in their own eyes. Of course, this is not the same thing as our mistresses being held by corrupt officials. There is no real feelings about power-for-money transactions. Once power is castrated, "adultery" becomes a buzzword, so the consistent confession of corrupt officials becomes a big laughing stock in China.
And in this film, there is indeed a surging turbulence, as if the impact after an iceberg collapses. There is nowhere for the floating ice to settle. You can only rely on your own creation to survive, but the increasingly fragmented world is inevitable. This allows us to see the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of people of all colors, and it also gives rise to a feeling of wanting to touch and press.
However, some people divorce, some people courteously, and some people are sad alone. It turns out that the world of adults is not fundamentally different from the world of their children. Both are changing their real lives through the medium of the Internet and mobile phones. It's just that the children's world is linked to a brand new experience that cannot be controlled, painful and helpless.
When a child who only wants to die is awakened by his lover, when the discipline of tiger mothers and wolf fathers completely collapses, whether we want to redefine the Internet, it is not just a virtual world. With more and more information, people sometimes shrink into this turtle shell, not to escape, but in fact they are becoming more and more alienated from the world, and even gradually moving away from the crowd.
The family has also become an external fictitious, they just eat and drink here. Their hearts have been far away from the outside, and it is a kind of normalization. From the perspective of adults, children become more and more self-conscious, unable to control, just want to hit the wall or be hysterical.
From this extension, the pervasiveness of the Internet is subverting the original life connotation and family ethics of this world, which requires greater patience to save the souls of the lonely. Just who wants to save? Or who wants to be saved?
When everyone puts on himself a heavy armor, or even a grimace shell, where this long-unbearable planet is heading becomes an unsolvable mystery. However, the top layer cannot be connected to the world of all living beings. The ruler has the ultimate right to destroy the planet with just one touch of a hand button.
This looks very ridiculous doesn't it. The real world is so unreasonable and stupid. National entertainment has nothing to do with the top level. The earth has become a complete Rubik's Cube puzzle, but they all play their own games of life. This is destined to be more confused, more exhausted, and more incurable.
Who wants to be saved?
When the sea is rolling in endless waves, who knows that the coastal embankment is collapsing. Sunspots erupt, and the hidden big bang of the universe may come early, and no one can stay out of the matter. It's just that our little human beings are still chattering and fighting each other. It turns out that sadness has been doomed long ago, and the so-called beginning means the end. Then let us take a break and think about what is more worthwhile to do, or there will be salvation.
