Before the end

Today, the second time I watched this film, I still boiled water, soaked black tea, hugged sheepskin, and watched warmly, watching a film that was unclear whether it was a tragedy or not.

"2012" is not enough to watch. After watching it, it is not easy to remember the scene. It is said that someone burst into tears in the theater. It must not be our IT people. If we give us the software, we can create the big scene ourselves. cry? Too naive. What else does "2012" have besides the big scene? ——Of course, for me, there is still a picture that I admire, and I can't say that there is nothing.

"12 Monkeys", clean, without any big scenes, plain, but with thousands of times.

In 1997, it has already passed. The end of the world may or may not come, but mankind will face such a situation after all, right? It may be a virus, it may be a counterattack of the environment, it may be a nuclear war, the end is coming, this is not a story in the Bible, but a fact, but we can't know exactly which day it is.

At the beginning, he knew the facts, but people didn’t. But because of time and space, some things happened later. Later, he became confused and thought he was a lunatic, hoping to become a normal person, hoping to see the blue sky. And the sea, the most important thing is to be with her. At this time, she was standing opposite him. She finally believed what he said in the past, but also mistakenly believed that the 12 monkeys were a complete farce, until the end, she understood the truth, and at this time, it was his end. Time.

When he was a child, looking at him from the future, he died in front of him. This cannot but be said to be weird. Here, time is a curve, bypassing death and returning.

What is the future? It was underground, dark, and the air was dirty, so he breathed in the air on the ground that was not densely covered with bacteria, listening to wonderful songs, smiling on his face, so naive, in the outside world, he only experienced eight years old, afterwards All of his memories are underground, so he is so greedy for the ground, that smile, and later sorrow, is really heartbreaking.

It will always be like this. When you have it, you will not cherish it. Until you lose it, you will regret it.

The paradox of time and space is not important, and the 12 monkeys are not important either. It is just a shell. The fateful arrangement leads people step by step, toward hope and toward death. If you can't change the past, why not smell the flowers? The interweaving of dreams and reality makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and reality. At this moment, is it real or in a dream? No one knows, I can't confirm whether the me who is typing these words at this moment is in reality or in dreams.

It is the dream that will eventually wake up, and the truth will eventually end. Therefore, it does not matter whether it is clear or not. For the experience of life, the ground and the ground are completely different, but even on the ground, do we just have and enjoy life? Even if we are soberly aware that we will not live in the world for more than a hundred years, shouldn't we still be obsessed with some external things, such as houses, such as achievements?

Watching a movie, because it is a bystander and because we can see everyone’s performance, it is easy for us to analyze the plot and understand the overall situation, but in reality, we lack information, we don’t know what others think, and we don’t know the meaning of each step. So, we can only do it, poor pawn.
