Two people who are at the extremes of the music level share madness, paranoia, vulnerability and desperation.
So there are two ways to classify people: according to their level, according to their characteristics.
1.
Generally speaking, "level", "ability" and "character traits" are two related indicators.
People with certain talents and abilities are more likely to build self-confidence, enterprising spirit and kindness to the world. On the way to growth, a sentence of "good job" (if one can always get this kind of response, it means that he is really good and in "Excellent"), let him feel good about himself, let him cherish life, treat friends kindly, go to bed early and get up early, thinking about "50 years of healthy work" for his family or the country.
And those who are not favored in talents and abilities, generally find it difficult to grow huge ambitions, he will feel that there is only so much he can achieve, and ease is the best choice. What's wrong with keeping one acre of land and becoming a person like that for generations to come?
But there are some people who have a huge dislocation between their abilities and personality: countless people told them that you are not doing this, and you shouldn’t be delusional to get things you can’t get. At that time, Andy’s dad just lived like this. Although he is Andy’s father, but he doesn’t understand his son. And people who are often said that are really not the material for this. Do you believe that diligence can make up for the poor, how much do you make up?) , But he still insists that this is an absurd and dramatic arrangement, so this kind of people can often compose the best life drama: because they are exaggerated, exerted, extreme, and easily fall into madness.
2.
People with harmonious and unified "ability" and "character" indicators have more harmonious and unified conversation style. They are elegant, friendly, gentle, not angry, and mature. Everyone is willing to talk to them. It is probably not difficult to have a group of people. Salty friends.
But this kind of people, no matter how well they are mixed, whether they are rich or wealthy, they are world-famous or unknown. They often lack a kind of ultimate life experience, or after one or two passes, they turn from the extreme to the ordinary.
There is nothing wrong with it. Only in this way can people get along with each other and society can function normally. A place full of bastards and scumbags like Andy and Fletcher (it’s undeniable that they are bastards and scumbags. If they really appear in life near you, they will definitely be the incarnation of everyone’s resentment). It’s impossible. live.
I have always believed that only those who can settle down can approach a true and lasting state similar to "happiness".
3.
But who stipulates that people should pursue happiness while alive?
There is another group of lunatics in this world. In this era of fading religion, they are still doing all kinds of "martyrs." They may also fantasize about gaining fame and fortune, and there are beauties in the car, but their inner stubbornness, paranoia, and eagerness to reach the top on a road, the perverted ambitions of the crowd make them unable to live a normal life.
So they became mentally ill.
In the mentally ill world, "good job" is not a gift of life, but becomes "the most harmful thing" that hinders them from getting an orgasmic experience (Fletcher said to Andy in a jazz bar, and on the one hand, this is a kind of The teaching inheritance between teachers and students, on the other hand, the reason Andy can accept this ordinary person’s seemingly weird logic-get rid of it, I am about to be driven to death by you!-because they are basically the same kind of people, this is A process in which people of the same kind resonate with each other).
Normal people and lunatics are more fundamentally classified than "elite" and "grass-rooted", "genius" and "fool". In the world of lunatics, there are only "obsessed" and "fascinated", and they are all going to the dark one by one.
Andy and Pang Mailang are lunatics. The difference is that Andy is a 19-year-old man with outstanding ability. And Pang Mailang, according to the latest media reports, is a 35-year-old music lunatic who is totally out of tune in singing. He aspires to become "China's most international" singer. He didn't know that other people thought this goal was wishful thinking. Just like Andy's family felt that it was almost impossible for Andy to enter the Lincoln Music Center, let alone to leave a name in the history of music.
4.
The reporter interviewing Pang Mailang, the computer was thrown into a pit by him. Crazy people are not easy to get along with. It is maddening to have paranoia around.
But whether it's Andy, Fletcher or Pangmailang, these paranoid abusers, sadists, and paranoias are always so concerned and fascinated by all living beings, and the arguments surrounding them are endless.
I think this is because in this category of people, those who live in the "approximately happy" state of the "ordinary" world can see a decisive moment.
This is the moment of "happiness". The real happiness is a momentary flash: Andy, who is not good at making eye contact with people, stares at Fletcher decisively on the final JVC opening stage.
5.
Compared with Andy, Pang Mailang's story may be more crazy, extreme and add a sense of absurdity when written and photographed. After all, Andy is in a serious conservatory, and he also encountered the devil teacher who abused him thousands of times. This is not only a kind of hardship, but also a huge thrust. But how did Pang Mailang persist for so many years? ——He is not handsome, he has no talent for singing (if we judge music normally), he is not too young, he has no formal music education, and he will definitely not be able to run into Fletcher's kind of abnormalities. .
6.
Andy said when he dated his girlfriend for the first time, I don't have any friends, but I don't care.
I think the lunatics who focus on their own small world probably don’t have time to watch a movie about lunatics, and after watching it, they rushed to write reviews or comment on movies.
We are the only ones who enjoy the fun of reviewing movies, the ordinary people who are looking forward to and accompanied by a sentence of "good job".
It’s okay, They don't care, we care.
