Vulnerable zone

There was a sympathy that most men circulated on the Internet-driving home to the downstairs and sitting in the car for a long time. They may light the last cigarette, or they may finish listening to the unfinished song, or they may just want to rest in a daze in the car. In short, there are many reasons to stay in the car for a while. Many people coincidentally said that there is such a special "little hobby" because it is a demarcation point. When you push the door, you are the firewood, the father, the son, and the husband; in the car, a person smokes a cigarette quietly. , This time, this body belongs to yourself. The man in Hawthorne’s short story "Wakefield", the greatest romantic novelist of the 19th century in the United States and the pioneer of American psychoanalytic novels, directly implements what these people absolutely want to do but dare not do. . "The husband rented a house on the street very close to his home under the pretext of traveling. He lived there for twenty years. He left his wife and relatives and friends to hear nothing, and there was no reason for such self-exile. For twenty years, he I see my home every day, and I often see the poor and lonely wife abandoned by him.” In 2016, director Robin Schweickard adapted the novel into the movie "The Fragile Zone". When Diao Yinan said that his inspiration for "Fireworks in the Day" came from Hawthorne's "Wakefield", the novel's novel angle instantly attracted my attention. A person who ran away from home observes his family and that familiar home every day in the place closest to his home. This eager behavior is full of unknowable adventure and excitement. Thinking about it, he trembles with excitement. The protagonist of the novel has been in hiding for 20 years, while the movie is much shorter. "Everyone has a dark place in their heart." "Heart, in this tiny and infinite realm, there are prototypes of human evil." There is no reason and no plan, so I just want to go home and don’t want to go home after work. , I don’t know if everyone has such emotions, anyway I do. It's just that there is no way to achieve it, there is no attic with just the right angle of view from the opposite side of the big house. Hawthorne is worthy of being the pioneer of romantic psychoanalysis. People's loneliness and unconsciousness after a hundred years are the same as those of people two centuries ago. The movie is slightly lighter, after the excitement at the beginning, the stamina is not enough. The tired old man finally stood in front of his family in well-dressed clothes. I really hope that this sexy and beautiful wife who has not sold the house, remarried, and escaped will blast this unsatisfied old urchin out again.
