Fear everywhere

I went to see "Bohemian Rhapsody" last Friday. After I came back, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Although the movie was cut, I did my homework before watching the movie, which did not affect my understanding of the plot. I listened to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a loop for a few days at home. The feeling of listening to this song before and now is completely different, and I feel more shocked.

Freddie is undoubtedly a genius. The true genius will not be buried, the light in his heart will one day dazzle people's eyes like the sun, making people look up. From an airport porter to a highly anticipated superstar, how long will it take? He used his strength to tell us that everything is possible. I like him with curly hair and flared pants in the early part of the movie, and his eyes are confused and proud. Although Roger bluntly pointed out that his buck teeth could not be the lead singer, he proved himself with a loud voice; although when he wandered and entangled with Mary's eyes, he bravely greeted the girl he liked, but more For many times, at other times besides proving and chasing, his eyes are full of confusion. The other traits seem to be just a protective shell for adapting to life, and the depths of his eyes are chaotic fog.

A successful person seems to have no reason to fear and decadence anymore. But can everything on the outside really calm our hearts? Is happiness the stability of this world or the happiness of the next life? Is it material and physical pleasure, or reconciliation and peace of the soul? Can success in this world heal past pains? If for an ordinary person, it should be enough. The satisfaction and vanity brought by money can make him like a fish in the water, but for a genius, for a sensitive person Artist, this is far from enough.

Childhood experience often affects a person's life. Those meaningless, fragmented emotions have power beyond imagination, leaving a mark in the depths of the soul. From India to Zanzibar, and then fled from Zanzibar to London, cut off from ethnic culture amidst the upheaval, and worked hard to adapt in the new cultural circle, as the'Britain's first Asian rock star' In the seventies when racial discrimination was more serious, one can imagine his hardships. There are several scenes in the movie where Freddy is called "Pakistani" in a mocking tone. Life is never easy. From the time he left India, he left his roots. In the years to come, he kept searching and abandoning the Indian philosophy represented by his father, struggling alone, reconciling with his family, and being banished in a daze. In the world, I have tried my best but I can't find a sense of belonging.

Other band members got married and had children, had their own families, rooted in the soil, and gained peace and strength. The rootless Freddie is always swaying. He loves Mary so so hard, so hard to convince himself that Mary is the love of his life, but he prefers not to love Mary, this is a tragic fate. He needs love, he does not spare his footsteps, from one man to another, to find comfort from those youthful and beautiful bodies, but love is never pleasure, love is painful opening of the heart to embrace a thorn, love is trembling lips Mumbling understandably without saying it. Falling from the confusion to the emptiness, all Freddie's struggles are nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst.

Schopenhauer once said:'Life is like a pendulum clock, swinging between pain and boredom: pain when desire is not satisfied, and boredom when desire is satisfied. 'Life is swaying back and forth, searching for it when it is painful, and emptiness when it is obtained, this is an Ubimos ring that cannot be escaped. As a reed capable of thinking, at the moment human beings turn on their spiritual wisdom, pain cannot be stripped away as companions, life has an end, death is inevitable, all joy will eventually be shattered, all happiness will eventually dissipate, what we love, we value Yes, one day as this planet turns into stardust, such a weak body, but with such deep wisdom, because of this wisdom, fear and disappointment will only double the invasion. To be a happy pig or a painful person? The more genius and sensitive people are, the more they cannot bear the barren and ruthless nature of this world.

Every night in the dead of night, half-awake and half-sleep, one seems to hear the footsteps of the god of death from the clouds. This time and glory are just borrowed phantoms. How can people not be afraid? Fear makes people weak. Freddie needs more noise, more company, more excitement, sex, drugs. These are just tricks to deceive himself. He has to fill up the time with all of this. Only by stopping painful thinking can the sound of emptiness biting the heart be ignored, and fear can be forgotten. When we are weak, we always look far away, hoping that there will be someone who can save ourselves and an almighty gentle hand that can help us soothe our soul and keep it away from confusion and fear. Is there such a person in the world? no. Love is self-fulfillment, not saving others; friendship is sympathy, not infinite overdraft; God says, "God loves the world," but the world must save itself. No one can hear Freddie's silent scream, and no one can hear. After all, people are lonely and have nowhere to pin. He tried all kinds of methods to get rid of loneliness, but only got a deeper fear.

It is impossible for people to truly get rid of loneliness, all struggles are just in vain. Freddie said Mary is his favorite and the person who knows him best, but the soul and body are indispensable, and the soul mate floating in the air alone cannot warm him. Mary has her own life. If she is not a lover, she will find her lover and have her own family. Just like the lamp in the movie, Freddy pulls the lamp on this side of the phone and asks Mary to respond with the light there. He is like an excited child who can’t wait to share with her, looking forward to the joy of tacit understanding, but Mary will Tired, she can't always play house games with him, she also needs love, a warm body for the night and a warm kiss that accompanies the dawn. Everyone can only be responsible for themselves, no one has to bear someone else. Obviously he left her first, but on that lonely night, he acted like an abandoned child.

The people around him left one by one, they found their own life, only him, was abandoned in the emptiness of the wilderness, afraid of the coming of night. After a carnival, people who heard the wind threw on him like a gadfly and tried to squeeze the last drop of blood. Look, genius will also fall! There is nothing more exciting than dragging a person from the altar into the mud. It is strangulation in carnival and jealousy in worship.

I like Freddie, because he is an ordinary person, faded from the aura of genius, he is like a child who is not grown up; I like Freddie, because he is an amazing person, after experiencing from the peak to the bottom, Seeing the essence of life, he chose to admit his mistakes and face it bravely. He left Paul and allowed him to profit by selling his gossip news on TV shows; he went to find his former teammates, but he was very nervous but still expressed his desire to reconcile; he went to the hospital alone, knowing that he was already there. News that he will die soon after being ill. In the last time of his life, he finally became brave, brave enough to face everything he could not bear, abandon those pride and disguise, and be the real himself.

At the end of the movie, the Queen performed at the "Save Life" concert. The four men who had reached middle age burst out all their passions, bringing a gorgeous auditory feast. I watched with tears. Some people say that rock is a form of life. I say that rock is the cry of the soul. All the bitterness and sweetness of life, all the pain and unwillingness, are turned into shouts and drums. True art can move everyone and melt the ice in the heart. Although I am not good enough, and although I will eventually leave, it is enough that I have been here, loved, moved, and moved others. In Freddy's last life, he might think this way, just like every disappointed and helpless genius after coming into this world, life is a permanent and endless desert, and fear and chaos are the norm. A true genius never compromises. He used his life and music to prove this, using a mortal body to fight against fate. Although fear defeated him, he failed to conquer him. Although he was defeated, he was glorious.
