"Daydreamer": a customized life

The first half of this movie, I thought it was a funny satire like Ted. Mitty's daydreaming that he has been wandering around the world makes me feel almost inexplicable. For me, the highlight of this movie started in Iceland. When Mitty embarked on a journey for love and his last job to find Sean, the leading photographer of LIFT magazine, who he admired for many years but never met, this movie really began to unfold its meaning to me. Green islands, blue seas, almost unmanned worlds, helicopters flying in low clouds, like oil paintings by romantic painters in the 19th century. For most of us, the dream life is Sean's style, walking in the Himalayas and swooping down the erupting volcano. There is no difference between "do it" and "can't do it" in his life, only "like" and "dislike". The real life is Mitty's style, with a domineering boss, many unsatisfactory lives, unattainable love, and, in my heart, I think about it all the time, but never do it. dream.

For most people, life is plain and simple, just like the standard configuration when installing programs, walking along the established road to the dark; for those who have taken an unusual path, it’s just gossip. The mentality of seeing failure begins and ends with a mentality of jealousy or gloat. Indeed, there are very few people who can be like a premier master like Sean, but we can at least make some life-defining choices on some small things.

So some people chose to collect stamps, some chose to listen to drama, some chose to run a marathon, and some chose to travel. I think we can do more in-depth, both in the dimensions of time and space. More importantly, as Sean said, “Sometimes I don’t want to take a picture.” He is a person who transcends all constraints. In the world, there is no material thing to restrict him; fame, wealth, Even his works can remain unmoved. He reached the highest level of life-freedom, which is what Mitty learned when he was sitting in a helicopter piloted by a drunk pilot and looking at the scenery of the Arctic Ocean, even though it was only five seconds; this is also a north horse run. What the people of "comprehensible" at the end is what various backpackers and star-chasers want to comprehend. It is also what text lovers like me comprehend when they finish writing an article or a book.

The best life is not material, not being able to do it or not being able to do it; but in the heart, it lies in liking and hope.
