We can’t go back. Young Master


Yu

Zhang Ailing wrote a vigorous story, but at the end only asked Manzhen to say: “Shijun, we can’t go back again.”

I always feel that there is a kind of infinite hope in it. The feeling of death is not desolation but tenderness. Perhaps you can appreciate it like this: a person's life is also the ups and downs of this movie. How many past events are just passing scenery, happy and beautiful. The sadness, the sadness, and the intoxication always make people feel sad and joyful. When all the dust falls, we are no longer us, but we have left memories.

Life will always be like a collection of different types of fragments. When he was young, he was like a martial arts movie, and he always thought that there were countless treasures hidden in the rivers and lakes forever. When I am in love, I always have the temperament of a literary film. I think that I will memorize the poems of Xi Murong and it is half of the success. Also, every time I work overtime all night, I always feel like I am playing a gunfight with one block and one hundred. piece. So if you get married, have children, and you reach middle age...the giant hand of fate renders the background of life layer by layer, and movies will slowly become domestic serials, which can always make people tired, boring, and movies. Like the architect Michael Newman in "Remote for Life", I feel that in the time under the mud and sand, there is no real fun, and what I can't avoid is boring, long, and dull. Would you also try to click to replay and relive the good old days? Or fast forward and skip these boring clips? Of course not. Like Michael Newman, he has been thrown away from the continuity of time. He is out of time. For one goal after another, he uses the remote control to skip illness, quarrels, and even sad time. It's extravagant...

A sentence Li Ou-fan said: The biggest disease of modernity is speed. Fortunately, it was Hollywood stereotypes that brought Michael Newman back to the happy ending-it was just a dream, but the other Hong Kong movie "The Dream of a Child" is much more cruel. The movie says: Life is a process The sad thing is that it can’t come back, and the good news is that it doesn’t need to come back again! It’s really mixed with emotions. The last scene of "Children's Dreams" is the thriving flowers and plants, which is a kind of sad warmth. From another aspect, it reminds me of what Milan Kundera said: "The afterglow of the orange sunset brings a touch of nostalgic warmth to everything, even the guillotine."

Looking back, the afterglow of the orange sunset may be a scene that can make poets crazy in love. In general, it is actually a slow process. I think the slowness in this is a kind of understanding and cognition of life, and the corresponding is that memory is born because of our slowness, just like a person walking on the street, he is trying to recall something, but thinking about it for a while He can't get up, so he will automatically slow down, and the other person wants to forget an unpleasant thing that just happened, so he walks faster and faster, seeming to want to distance himself with speed and forget about it. So when Michael Newman decided to press the fast-forward button in "Remote for Life", the speed created by the technological revolution made it jump away before the arrival of illness and quarrels, expending life in pursuit of efficacy, and the speed became faster and faster. As a result, in the coming ending, the old man sighed in tears, because he has no memories worthy of precious, he has been hollowed out by the so-called "speed". When watching this movie, it just makes people think: Facing the fate of swaying, instead of learning to fight first, it is better to learn patience first. This is a kind of courage to face the bleak and unbearable. Weeping rain, ruined, tossed and whispered, this is the most humbling state of mind. Looking through the mirror, the light gauze curtains that always have memories make us feel gentle.

Life is like this, longing, hesitation, confusion, pain, happiness, sadness, indifferent... When we look back, whether we are happy or sad, we can't go back.

    "You only know how to cherish if you lose it" ~ a common topic ~ but a mistake that humans will always make ~ this movie tells such a story ~ it is still inspiring~

    This should be a tragedy rather than a comedy~~ But in life, being forced by the trend, who would really make the right choice?

  • Donna Newman: Don't get mad at Peanut just because he found your Twinkie stash.

    Michael Newman: Who's Peanut? Where's Sundance?

    Donna Newman: [whispers] Don't mention Sundance! The kids just stopped crying.

    Michael Newman: About what? Why? What happened?

    [Donna looks at him confused, then Michael realizes that Sundance has died]

    Michael Newman: He died?

    [starts to cry]

    Michael Newman: Oh no, no, oh no, the stupid idiot and soft fur.

    Donna Newman: [to the kids] Daddy held it in so long.

    Michael Newman: He was the best dog!

    Donna Newman: And now he's letting himself feel it.

    Michael Newman: [crying] One night when the duck's head was off, he tried to hump my leg, and I didn't let him, and I should've! And I'm sorry! What an idiot.

    Donna Newman: It's okay.

  • [In the far future, Michael is confronted with kids that don't respect him anymore, a wife that has moved on without him and the breaking point - the treehouse that he had started building for the kids years ago remains unfinished]

    Michael Newman: No. No. Ten years, you're not finished yet?

    [screaming into the heavens]

    Michael Newman: Morty! Why did you do this to me?

    Morty: [suddenly appearing] You did this to yourself, Michael.

    Michael Newman: No. No, I didn't wanna waste all that time. I didn't wanna lose Donna!

    Morty: The remote goes by your behavior. Every time there was a conflict between work and home, work won!

    Michael Newman: No, not true!

    Morty: Lie to your wife! Lie to yourself. But you cannot lie to the remote. The remote is lie-proof, so you can't change what already happened. But you're still a young man. A young, fat man. You could win Donna back.

    Michael Newman: So that's what I'll do.

    Morty: Go for it, tubbs.
