The demise of utopia

Here's a good idea: a group of imitators, an island that could have made for a bizarre world.
Chaplin chewed his tongue in the room; Monroe bent his knees in the woods and pressed down a floating white dress; Jackson danced on the reef; the Pope was spurned and howled in an open-air bathtub; Little Red Riding Hood held an umbrella and wandered on the rails , sing cruel ballads... The atmosphere of loneliness and sadness lingers, pure joy is always entangled, and every segment is amazing.
As far as creativity is concerned, the theme of "Mr. Lonely" gives writers and directors unlimited space to play: you can imagine the characters of many characters, imagine their respective life experiences and fates, imagine the sparks of the intersection, and imagine how they are. Build an isolated territory, imagine their cooperation, division of labor, and contradictions and differences... Many times this movie is really pure and simple like a fairy tale, in which everyone has their own irreplaceable roles to please others and satisfy themselves.
But this character comes from a world outside utopia, from the collective desires of the people in that world. In that world, Mister Lonely and Miss Lonely are nothing but celebrities. "I can't do anything well," our Jackson said. Only in this little utopia can imitators find their place and the value of their existence.
But utopia is never extensible, and its fragile value system can only work in closed spaces and stagnant time. Moore knew this truth, Bacon knew this truth, and Tao Yuanming knew this truth too. And "Mr. Lonely" shows the process of disillusionment of this utopia.
Is imitation really that great? Under the attention of a group of fellow believers, you are a devout martyr and a unique protagonist; in the complicated real world, maybe you are just a lamb without self-awareness. When you get sick, you kill it. There is nothing to regret. . The imitators set up the stage, handed out flyers, advertised everywhere, and performed with heart, but only received a few audiences and mechanical applause. Once integrated into the outside world and seek its place in a larger context, utopia is doomed.
In addition, independent films can resonate infinitely with the souls of a small group of people and can't stop, but the problem is that its free and undisciplined films are obscure and even procrastinating for most people. "Mr. Lonely" is enticingly inspirational, but it's a bit of a waste to tell the story like a broken chapter running through an autistic mind.

Mister Lonely quotes

  • Michael Jackson: I don't know if you know what it is like to want to be someone else, to not want to look like you look, to hate your own face and to go completely unnoticed. I have always wanted to be someone else. I have never felt comfortable the way I am. All I want is to be better than myself, to become less ordinary and to find some purpose in this world. It is easier to see things in others, to see things you admire and then try and become that. To own a different face, to dance a different dance, and sing a different song. It is out there waiting for us, inviting us to change. It is time to become who we are not. To change our face and become who we want to be. I think the world is a better place that way.

  • The Pope: Do they not know that their little arms are too short to box with God?
