A little thought

Evie 2022-01-17 08:01:17



Everyone in "Hit blunt" lives in a non-utopian world so well, why are there so many people who are afraid of being assimilated and continue to make such works?

After thinking about it, maybe a lot of art itself comes from fear. People are afraid of being polished smooth and cornerless by time and surroundings, so they frequently try to show their angular personality while their consciousness is still alive.

Painters, directors, and composers, everyone is the same, all moving forward with fear.

I think of Van Gogh's starry sky map and the last words of 2 Pac in To Pimp a Butterfly.

It feels that the concept of utopia has also been distorted in these similar movies. A perfect society like a computer system probably doesn't exist at all, and it's all magnified as a projection of fear.

So should I take a sigh of relief or continue to be a frog with no water temperature in a hot pot?

Although it is not very pleasant after reading, but still deeply inspired.
