Tom Hardy, this person with the same name as a certain writer, I used to call him only teacher E, because I only saw his Inception. Nolan’s movies have never been known for portraying the inner world of the character, so Teacher E is just a reliable character after all, a crooked, sloppy, sitting position, but relying on poor dressing taste and scornful smirk. Hit me with an unreliable young girl with a glass heart. For Teacher E, 80% of my love is bad taste. I just want to kill him once a day, and then brain fill up his various unbearable expressions when he wakes up. A group of grass and mud horses with two stupid faces" still needs to be cured. I checked Inception on the Internet and found that the teacher inside was either a love saint or a technical stream. Sometimes he died happy, sometimes sad, sometimes abused and sometimes self-abusing, but never entangled, always very happy.
This teacher E is only three years younger, and weighs about 100 catties when he is light. But after seeing his Stuart, for a few seconds, I sat there, my brain was blank, and my heart was turbulent. The expression is as tangled as the dumb in the last scene of this movie. I have a lot of unspoken words, but I really put my hands on the keyboard, but I don't know what to say. I only do this when I have watched a good movie. Therefore, Stuart is a good movie and Tom Hardy is a good actor.
Stuart's life is very different from most people. He is a vagrant. Although he has his own apartment, he prefers to be close to nature. He spends a lot of time wandering the streets, living on cardboard, and sleeping in the park; he takes drugs, alcohol, theft, self-harm, and has been thrown into prison many times. He is sometimes irritable, sometimes depressed, with muscular dystrophy, and staggers on his back like a clock tower weirdo; he beats his wife, yells at the police, stretches out his middle finger for anything, hurts everyone who tries to get close to him, and this The relationship in the world is messed up. In his life, it seems that a good thing has never happened.
He is the nightmare of good citizens, the kind of person that people with a normal life avoid. For middle-class families like Alexander, they are "a group of people", not individuals with unique life trajectories like them. As Alexander said at the beginning, "They all look the same to me". But Alexander couldn't help being attracted by Stuart. They formed a very delicate relationship. They were the talker and the listener. At the same time, they loved each other, depended on each other, and were infinitely close to the meaning of "friend".
What prevents us from loathing a "bad guy" in the traditional sense? When we walked into Stuart's inner world with Alexander-he understood very well, because he never shy away from anything, even the darkest corners of his heart, he was willing to expose them to the sun frankly. He allowed us and Alexander to slowly reverse our lives until the first turning point in his life.
So, the first question to be solved is, what kind of person is Stuart now? It is true that he is angry, painful, and anti-system, but if you stay with him for a while, you will find that he is also a very smart and interesting person. He can drive and cook. He reads Tom Clancy's spy novels. He remembered that every time he went to prison, he would be troubled by his son's rudeness. He can distinguish the types of tea, apple trees and pear trees. When he drove the car at a speed of 30 yards and sang "Because you're gorgeous", at that moment, he was even happy.
For life, he has a very clear wisdom. Every thought and every sentence he has in this movie, some seem to be shining, some seem to be a blow. For those who live in the muddle, Stuart can almost become their spiritual mentor. In front of him, 80% of the so-called middle class can hide themselves in the corner and feel ugly. He used to be a carefree, so caring little boy, if his life is calm, maybe he will also become a smart, carefree, caring adult.
But the little boy was killed.
Stuart was terribly awake, he knew exactly what killed the boy. But he only proposed a question with a preset answer to Alexander, allowing him to find the answer by himself in the process of tracing back to life. So we saw a lot of suffering and a lot of tragedies. But the reason Stuart moved me was very simple: he was unhappy, but he never blamed his unhappiness on the world, perhaps it was this sobriety that made him more miserable. Everyone has sufferings, failures, and tragedies in their lives. Most people will find an excuse for these negative experiences and shift the responsibility to others. Childhood shadows, family misfortunes, unreliable friends, and even bad lives... "Others" are our safe haven and floodgate. But Stuart is different. He doesn't hate the world. Although everything around him brings him only misfortune, he still wants to embrace the world. The reason why he can do nothing is because he can't love himself. He believes that his true tragedy began with violence, but he does not even hate violence. He calmly said: "Violence does not want to be homeless." What he hates is only the self who found violence.
I used to believe in Freud's theory and firmly believed that childhood experience is the root of what a person ultimately becomes. But in recent years, I have become more and more suspicious of this statement. Now I am more inclined to think that who we become is because we are who we are. We can't get out of the shadows because the shadows have taken root and sprouted in our hearts since we were born. In fact, any experience may become a shadow. It does not come from the outside world, but from the heart. For some people, the shadow is like the appendix or wisdom teeth. It is a part of the body and is completely useless, but it will rebel without warning and completely disrupt their lives.
Stuart knew this a long time ago, because he saw many people and had the same childhood experience as him, but he accepted it, left it, and then continued to move forward. In the end, he became a normal person who was a little angry and a little hesitant, such as him. Sister. But he couldn't do it, so he directed his anger to his heart. Under overwhelming burden, he chose violence, but after the violence he felt guilty and filthy. This vicious circle finally made him nervous. In the end, he only hoped to lie down and die to escape this madness, but he couldn't find a reason to do so.
Until Alexander appeared.
I always believe that Stuart committed suicide. He has been groping forward in the dark all his life, not knowing where the edge of the darkness is or when he should stop. But Alexander appeared, stripped his life to expose to the sun, and then smiled at him in the unreachable light, illuminating the edge of his darkness. He knew he couldn't have that kind of life anymore. He used to be a carefree, caring little boy, but the boy was dead, so he finally decided to accompany the boy. The days he and Alexander were together were like a candle that has been burning slowly, suddenly bursting out of sparks, and then extinguishing in an instant. Alexander did bring him happiness, but it also made him particularly painful, because he knew that no one could save him from this miserable life, Alexander could not, nor could he himself. In the final stage of his life, I don't know if this is luck or misfortune.
Perhaps the person who can't get out of the shadows is because the heart is not strong enough. But "not strong enough" is not a shame. People are inherently different. There are pure men and small fresh ones. Some people have the blood of "writing books" in their families, and some people have "lunatics" in their families. Blood. Stuart is not a lunatic, he is just a 9-year-old boy who couldn't accept it because he saw his gradual change, so he wanted to lie down and die. He finally realized his wish, maybe he died well.

This film successfully pierced the tears of Miss Zheng. My bones are clear and my tears are so high. After reading it, I just feel a breath of bad breath in my chest, and I can't sleep if I don't come out. But this film did have a plot that struck my tears, which is the following paragraph:
Stuart: (looking at Alexander's bookshelf) Have you read all the books?
Alexander: No.
Stuart: How about half?
Alexander: Not really.
Look, this paragraph is poking my tears, this paragraph is simply poking my lung tube. Teacher, you are too sharp. At that moment, Alexander and I were ashamed.
