Hello, Stuart

Many people say that they have seen the hypocrisy of the middle class in this film. They haven’t read half of the books on Alexandra’s bookshelf. They seem to live a decent life, and there are unclear demonstrations, but I only saw a kind of daily life, a kind of sparseness. Yes, many people strive for life. When Stuart's slightly middle-class taste and humor surprised Alexandra's face, he only paid attention to the vaguely spoken tramp who was always enveloped in the aroma of malt. Stuart dominated the writing of this autobiography. He wanted the beginning to attract mediocre white-collar workers, and his shocking end.

In our lives, everyone is guilty, and no one is greater, so we often overlook the indifference of the system and the numbness of human nature. Stuart kept resisting the insults of the disabled school, the sexual assault in the welfare home, and the rape of his brother for many years, but no one helped him. These are all things Stuart wants to accuse, things that the society that killed the innocent boy tolerated. Many people have experienced things like him, but without the sensitive nerves of artists like him, they continue to live after struggling, some are healed, and some are depressed forever.

Stuart chose to be a lunatic among many options, and I think he can also be a philosopher. The first time he tasted the sweetness of violence, he could not forget the feeling of full power. At the same time, he deeply regretted it. He regarded this day as the starting point of life's unbearable look back. When the regret accumulated to the explosive point, he wanted to The violence in the body is forced out with blood. He is a lunatic, he uses violence against himself. The boy who hid in his heart occasionally jumped out, he didn't want to hurt anyone. He kidnapped the hostages and the baby, but when he came downstairs, he pushed them out the door. He even worried that his son could not be a polite and decent person after learning swear words. What an introspective and contradictory existence this is. Nietzsche said that if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. Then Stuart may be another version of Nietzsche.

The days when Stuart and Alexander became friends were the happiest and the most painful. Writing an autobiography forced him to recall his thirty-three years of life, and also allowed him to analyze himself, when he finally realized how shining these days were and how dark his life was. He is powerless to get out of sin, the only thing he can do is to destroy the existence of sin. God does not save the weak.

Stuart is not an exception. We have killed ourselves more or less, but we are still struggling to live. Pain generates power, we don't have the madness of Stuart, so we choose to live.
