which happens to be two directions of life: "Room" Here, a mother who has experienced hellish ordeals, inspired by the power of her son's love, chooses to continue living; in "The End of the Journey", 34-year-old author David Foster Wallace, who has become famous, committed suicide after 12 years of struggle with depression.
The tour in the title refers to the national tour of David’s propaganda novels, and also implies that life is like a tour, and everyone at the end is dead.
This is a movie about death. It tells the story of "Rolling Stone" magazine reporter David Lipsky traveling all the way to interview the young talent, recording the writer's life and asking him various questions. The film must be processed and the creator has the choice, but the film does discuss the most important and or least important Hamlet question, is it alive or not?
People, why are they alive?
The housewife who was going to stall early in the morning replied that there are several mouths waiting to be fed. For responsibility.
The young boy who started his business replied, how can he die without earning his first billion! As the goal.
The female Wenqing who resigned and traveled replied that the world is so big that I haven't seen it yet. For romance.
Parents shook their heads again and again, good luck, nothing to discuss what to die, are you okay, do you want to see a psychiatrist? This is probably the answer for the most people, and death is the most terrible thing. Because death is terrible, of course you have to live.
David Foster Wallace gave his answer in the movie, david (the reporter who interviewed him has the same name as him), it's nice, it's not real.
This is probably the same as the mirror in the Chinese world. Life is a vain.
He was born into a family of standard intellectuals and had a stable childhood and no lack of love. He is a big man, has a good voice, can sing beautiful songs, and loves to play tennis. This is completely the opposite of a young depressed otaku. At the age of 34, he wrote "Infinite Jest", a win-win for both business and commentary. This makes me think of Zhou Xingxing’s lines in a movie. I have reached the pinnacle of my life at such a young age, and then I have to end my life.
Yes, he ended everything himself, but the process took 12 years.
A vain world will leave sooner or later, and he doesn't want to wait anymore.
I have always opposed the view that suicide is an act of the weak, how heroic suicide is! The lines in the movie and even the look in David's eyes revealed that he was not so much depressed as he was tired of the world.
The word weary of the world is often associated with pessimism. In fact, it is not. Many pessimistic people live sorrowfully and grief until they are old, and they are still very greedy for this world.
Worrying about life is not pessimistic, being tired of life is to see through everything and choose to leave.
David said, I also enjoy the feeling of being famous, I like to be followed, but I know all this is not what I want.
Remember the Chinese rap song that everyone of us has heard, "I hate being a star, and I want to be noticeable"?
The woman who sang, became famous when she was young, and was full of confusion. The "way out" she chose was to fall in love, fall in love, and fall in love again.
Jason Segel, who plays David, is most famous as the stupid big boy in how i met your mother. His career is almost all comedy. This should be the best performance on the screen in 2015.
Is there a depressed soul hidden in every comedian's body?
After watching the movie, I can't help but ask myself, why am I alive?
I watched "Forrest Gump" for the first time more than 20 years ago. A-Gump faced her
dying mother in the hospital bed and asked the movie line that I will never forget, What's my detiny, mom?
My whole body trembles like an electric shock. .
My mother replied, you have to figure it out by yourself.
This is probably the meaning of life. Destiny is like a torrent, and individuals are like gravel. The current pushes the gravel forward until a certain time and place, the gravel sinks and sinks. To the bottom of the river.
At the beginning of the movie the hours, the female writer Virginia Woolf, holding a few huge stones, walked to the depths of the river, sank bravely, choosing the time and place for her landing.
We don't have the courage, so just wait with curiosity.
Or with an optimistic eye, we are not gravel, but feathers from the beginning and the end of "Forrest Gump". While floating in the wind, we can also see the scenery along the way.
PS: After writing this article, I saw the news that Dylan won the award. The first time I heard that song, it was also in "Forrest Gump":
How many roads must a man walk down,
Before they call him a man?
Can i call myself a man now?
i think i can.
