The more modern, the more lonely.

Look for this film to find a correct way to open it. At first I watched while chatting online, and the constant chatter made people uninterested. Nothing happened the next day, I digested this piece seriously, and unexpectedly felt a lot of touches from the conversation. With the extension of the Internet, if you want, messages from the Internet can tell you almost anything you want to know. This represents an unprecedented state in which humans can almost have the same omniscience as gods (understanding in a narrow sense). This sense of superiority influences our way of emotional control. More often, we do not realize the difference between ourselves and the previous generation, but simply understand it as the generation gap and the progress of the times. This is not the case, before the information age. In a limited space, the emotional control that humans do is accommodating and non-selective, so humans appear conservative and relatively loyal. In today's world, almost everyone can perform themselves and discover more options on their own initiative. In an infinite space, the easier it is to gain, the easier it is to lose. We become prominent and have no loyalty. Our loss is the loss of the entire era. The more modern we are, the more lonely we are. Emotion has no national boundaries. After I understood the reason for this feeling of loneliness, I slowly understood the writer and his entanglement in almost losing himself in contradictions.

This is very much a literary film among literary films... I am exhausted watching the subtitles...

Supplementary bid. I deeply understand Wallace's loneliness and confession, and his pessimistic view of life is even more familiar. After all, looking back at the end of the long road, everything is just endless jokes.

David Foster Wallace: It's so much easier having dogs.
David Lipsky: Ha, ha - I'm sure.
David Foster Wallace: I mean, yes, you don't get laid, but you don't have that feeling, like you're hurting their feelings, all the time.
David Lipsky: Right, right.
David Foster Wallace: I'd like to emphasise strictly platonic relationship with the dogs.
David Lipsky: He he; I'll make sure I'll highlight it in the article, sure.
