Maybe you are just a paper man

Wen, Su Jianya

This is a movie about friendship and loneliness.



One is a cowardly and half-dead writer who failed in a marriage.

One is a young girl who witnessed her sister drowning.

Two people who seem to be far apart have many similarities.

For example, Richard has his guardian Captain Excellent, and

Abby has her follower Chriatopher.

Richard asked his wife Clari: "Are we really unhappy, or pretend to be unhappy?"

Richard doesn't have any friends, he is a lonely existence.

Abby is a precocious girl who takes on everything prematurely.

Maybe she hasn't been really happy since she was 8 years old.

In Richard's lame lie and sincere attitude, the

two lonely souls were attracted to each other like that and slowly approached.

A long winter has taught each to grow.

Richard said to Abby at the beach.

I am a paper man.

I am just a fragile person with no sense of existence.

People, always learn to grow alone.

In fact, when Captain Excellent shouted the slogan for the last time and flew to the clouds,

Richard had really grown up.

It's just that Chriatopher's suicide still shocked me.

It is wise to leave when the one you love no longer needs himself.

The world is full of stories and deja vu scenes.

Perhaps the same lively movie is also being staged on the other side of the sea.

Our search is only looking for a destination.

You can make yourself feel at ease.

Can make us weak and brave.

Let us complain to each other.

It can make the unbearable tortures in life soften in each other's comfort and bearing.

only.

In order to live,

we are all fragile and cannot be happy.

There is no room for relaxation of the tense nerves every day. .

Are these just to show that growth is long and difficult?

Fortunately, the

ending is satisfactory.

Because we have to learn to live a happy and warm life.

Even if you have nothing, let alone you have so much.

However, in the final analysis, we, perhaps, are just paper people.

    The clichéd midlife crisis doesn't resonate at all.

    2010-10-07 I have seen it. If there is nothing in the story of the plot, the theme seems very vague, the two characters are not three-dimensional, and the picture editing is not special... But the things that are not common in life are expressed very smoothly and naturally. The real characters are not painful or itchy, but the departure of the two virtual characters evokes tears. I don't know whether it is an accident or in the calculations of the director and the screenwriter.

Paper Man quotes

  • [a dead racoon is lying on the doorstep ahead of Richard and Claire]

    Richard Dunn: Oh, good lord... Claire!

    Claire Dunn: Oh, poor thing. It was quick, at least. Clean thoracic tear.

    Richard Dunn: We should give him a proper burial.

    [Claire picks the racoon up, walks toward the stack of wood and throws the racoon behind it]

    Richard Dunn: It feels like I just lost my bearings.

  • Captain Excellent: [Mocking] Saints alive, Richard! These competing patterns! What fool would combine these fabrics?
