The topic of depression and psychosis is almost to be played badly in the field of movies. After all, movies need to create dreams. In ordinary people, "mental illness" is the thing in the dream. For the celestial dynasty, this theme is really bad. Fan Bingbing’s second exposure is an example. He idealized the mental patient into an inexplicable state of genius. The appearance is lonely and indifferent, and the inner talent is peerless. In this logic, mental illness = Leslie Cheung.
But it's so strange in the real world. Good talent is a gift from God, and mental illness is just mental illness. Of course, it is possible that the high IQ brought by good talents may affect the relationship between geniuses and ordinary people, causing geniuses to feel more lonely and have a high probability of mental illness. But the reverse does not hold. According to this movie, the mental world of depression is probably due to being in a cage and not having too much IQ.
Veronika comes from a not-so-healthy family, but she does manage herself as a winner, collecting multiple cards of youth, appearance, high salary, and love. Judging from this, he is a stubborn and intelligent person, who will have his own dreams and independent values if he succeeds. She disagrees with the walking dead obliterating ideal office workers, criticizing the fashion logic of green is the new black, and dislikes the ten best men who propose to her. The time from nine to five is full of the smell of gunpowder. In her eyes, all of this was too boring, and the predictable and regularized future was not worth looking forward to. Boring is bigger than joy, and the price-performance ratio is not worthwhile, so she decided to die by herself.
The development of the plot is that Veronika attempted suicide. She was told that she had cardiovascular vulnerability caused by suicide drugs, and she still had to die within a few weeks. So Veronika lived a casual life without any burden, but a pure soul easily met true love, so she quickly met the male lead. Knowing that I regained my health in the romantic rhythm of empathy and passion, I have lived a happy life ever since.
At the center of the movie, the male protagonist that Veronika met, made her jump out of the cage of despair and embrace a new hope. At first glance, the logic of the screenwriter is a bit of black and white dualism, but it makes sense when you think about it-all the unhappiness in the world is because of being trapped in your own cage.
Lost in love can rely on new relationships to resolve sorrow; boredom can regain hope with new tastes; if there is any sadness that can make people depressed and unhappy, it is simply because the current life is too boring and not rich. So even if we are mediocre, we are weaker and more fearful. Even in this steel forest city most of the time, we dare not talk about freedom and joy, but we still have to live as rich and full as possible and continue to meet. The tiny Xintiandi can at least serve one's soul well.
Although very vulgar, it does agree: Love is the super god of the spiritual world, and an encounter can save Veronika. For most people, love will light up life, which is the most direct form of the tiny new world.
