"American Beauty"-Lion Roar on Saturday afternoon

A movie that I had watched a long time ago. In the afternoon, I was alone at home to sort out the "Volume of Volume" discs. I couldn't help but took it out and watched it again. Today I deeply feel that the horse's teeth are empty and long, and although it is not strong or incompetent, but at a loss and at a loss. While life is becoming more and more regular, it is inevitable to enter mediocrity. This mediocrity is like a whirlpool, which will gradually swallow all the passions and dreams of a person. The happiest time in life is neither a carefree childhood nor a time of success, but a time when the beautiful picture of life is gradually unfolding before your eyes. However, when this kind of life became more and more dull, and became more and more like a shackle that cannot escape from politics, all the goodness disappeared, and everything in front of me turned into a nightmare.

"American Beauty" puts these people in front of you:
an ordinary middle-class man, who runs every day for the livelihood of himself and his family, his sex life is not harmonious, and his relationship with his daughter is indifferent.
A woman who is struggling in the cracks between family chores and work and career, but on both sides it is better to realize that she has forgotten her past happiness.
A rebellious adolescent daughter, dissatisfied with her looks, and at a loss for family relations.
A girl who is beautiful and proud on the outside, but empty and inferior in her heart, tries hard to maintain her proud mask.
A strict father uses power to maintain his autocratic status, but it is difficult to face his inner gay secrets.
A rebellious boy, struggling to survive under the power of his father, was lost, injured, but never gave up.

No one is so ordinary, so that ordinary people can find their shadows in our own, just such ordinary people, but live such a perverted life, are they living to destroy people, or are they living? Destroy life? However, the movie has to tell us more than so much. The end of the movie says: Maybe you can’t understand all the things this movie tells you, but one day you will understand.

When you understand, he will roar like a lion, like a divine enlightenment, like two big ear scrapers, telling you: Your life just like an ass-hole! Maybe you have forgotten, WE used to be happy. When you live When you live a normal life, go to work with corpses every day, and deal with everyone with a false smile; when you regard self-study as the greatest joy in life; when you feel that holding your wife’s hand is like holding your left hand Right hand; when you find that there is only TV left in your weekend life, can you still remember: WE used to be happy?

When you look at the roses under the fence outside the window, you may have forgotten that they used to be so beautiful. The abundance of life cannot conceal the emptiness of life, and this emptiness is reflected in the neglect of the beauty of life. from. The ability to discover beautiful things is also the ability to experience happiness. When you lose these, life, besides the shackles, what is left?

These shackles are the labels you put on your own life. These labels may be capital for showing off or the source of tragedy. When you try to hide the emptiness of life with luxurious materials for the label of the middle class, or when you want to show off your beauty and show your own difference for the label of glamorous women, you have fallen into that impossibility. Self-extracting mud pit, and this mud pit was dug out by your own hands!

Okay, it's time, come back, long-lost Passion and Happy
