"American Beauty": Discover the beauty in life

I re-watched the movie "American Beauty" during the day. I was very impressed. I had a strange dream at night. I dreamed that I went home from get off work. After opening the door, I found that my house was in a mess. I stolen all my stuff. The most annoying thing was that some monitors and computers that could not be removed were also damaged by thieves. I was shocked and annoyed, and I was busy making the phone call to find a way. Later I woke up anxiously (ashamed) and found that it was really "thinking about day and night". The dream I had at night was the response to the movie I watched during the day. When I watched the movie American Beauty, I thought I understood Lebster. In fact, I don’t understand at all. I exposed my thoughts in my night dream. I care about so-called material things like his wife Carolyn and become a slave to life. Carolyn is not willing to be happy with Lebster on the $4,000 sofa, Lebster Angrily hit the sofa, saying that it was just a sofa, but his wife still didn't understand. Lebster was full of sexual fantasies about his daughter’s classmate Angela, but when he really took off Angela’s clothes and learned that Angela was still a virgin, Lebster suddenly realized that he knew what he wanted, and what he wanted was the beauty of life. As well as the kind of interest and pursuit of beauty, life was originally happy and beautiful, and he couldn't bear to destroy this beauty. Those people who are unhappy all day long suffering from gains and losses, they forget the original beauty of life, those such short-lived beauty, depressed all day long, living such a boring life is really looking for hardship. A person’s spiritual world is the source of his happiness as well as the source of his happiness. He is not troubled by work and life, and he is good at discovering the beauty in life and inspiring his own interest. This is what Lebster realized that made him feel great. That kind of happiness. Classic lines in movies: I often hear that a person’s life will reappear in front of his eyes at the moment before death. First, that moment is not just as simple as that moment. It has been prolonged, like an ocean of time. For me, It was lying in the Boy Scout camp and watching the shooting stars; it was the maple trees planted on our street that dropped yellow leaves; it was the hand of my grandmother, and her skin was as pale as paper; it was the first time I saw my cousin Tony The brand new "Firebird"... I think I feel very angry about what I have encountered, but there is so much beauty in this world that it is difficult to make me angry. Sometimes I feel that I have suddenly seen too many beautiful things. My heart is inflated like a balloon and is about to burst. Then I remember to relax and no longer hold on to it. Then it passed through me like raindrops. I didn't feel anything at all. I was grateful for every moment in my stupid life. I believe you don’t understand what I’m talking about, but don’t worry, you will understand one day.
