Baby Driver: I didn’t realize until I met that girl that you were only alone for too long.

I always have a theory in my mind: when a person crosses the road, I don't care about the traffic lights, because it depends on the actual situation. how to say? It's like at midnight when you have to cross the road, but the sidewalk is at a red light. You turn your head and look at the direction of the car. Basically no car will bring you danger to crossing the road, even though there are one or two. Cars, but they are too far away from you...At this time, if I were alone, then I would run the red light without hesitation. However, as I grew older, after I used actual actions to "desecrate" traffic lights many times, or when I was doing this one time, a strange idea flew into my mind: If I were not alone , But a dad, a dad holding his own daughter, then would I still "run the red light" arbitrarily? When we suddenly have an object around us that we care about, care about, and feel nervous about, it is undeniable that "going on our own way" does not seem so important. The object that we care about, the one that carries the relationship between each other, will eventually slow down a young man's "willingly" pace, make him scrupulous, aware of fear, and consciously consider the consequences. I think this kind of thinking will even go beyond the "realistic" situation, because if I hold my daughter's hand, whether there is a car in reality, whether it is a red or a green light, cars and traffic rules are no longer restricting my behavior. "Reality", my reality is the reality of me and the people around me, it is no longer the reality of me alone, my reality is the reality of me and the people I love, not the reality that I think...
When I think about this place, I often shudder. Indeed, we, who had a higher heart than the sky at the beginning, would certainly not have thought that one day, we would think about the above question. But for those aloof souls, there must be such a day. On this day, he will consciously stop and turn off the life switch that revolves around him. On this day, he will silently pull on the seat belt. , Make sure it is fastened, put a safety symbol on the inverted mirror, fill the thermos with hot water, add wolfberry, change the iPhone’s lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper to "love", or hug Take a picture of the child’s lover, and add a family photo to the wallet... When we start thinking about when we became like this afterwards, we often forget the specific date, and when we start to laugh at ourselves In old age, it often starts from ridiculing the original naivety. On the surface, it seems that people are getting old. In fact, people are more concerned. When people gradually slow down because of their concerns, he is old. He starts to hesitate, cowardly, look forward and backward, talk about... We have to admit that when Wang Shuo yelled "Are you old?" "Old" was already being teased. However, what is strange is that after so many years, people still ridicule "oldness" from time to time, instead of facing the fact that everyone is bound to be old, and consciously pursuing maturity that matches "oldness". It can be seen that for some people, they are just using "old" to avoid their "immaturity". They like to use "bad guys are old" to describe "old people" as being old, disrespectful and immature. In fact, the subtext is nothing more than the subtext. : Since the elderly are so bad, there is nothing to blame for our behavior. There are both "young people" and "old kids" among these people. Young people don't need to be familiar with them when doing so, but for some "old kids", they use self-deprecating "old age" to disguise that they are "still immature". , It seems more hypocritical.
When we were young, we thought that we could drive along Route 66 with our loved ones like a baby, thinking that we could leave everything behind and run towards the "freedom" of our dreams with our lover. We thought that after paying off the debt, we were free. We thought that we could change our face with our lover and start over again with a bag of money... When these "thoughts" gradually became "self-righteous" with the development of the plot, we only You will find that the original freedom is not as we thought it was. Freedom is not to escape, but to face.
The structure of the film corresponds to the two realms of freedom-1. Wayward escape; 2. Face it bravely. The first part talks about evasion, and the second part talks about facing. Wearing headphones, escaping from reality, reality is "rhythmicized" by music, implying that the baby's world is his own world, and in his world, there is only himself. When we were young, we actually all had similar experiences. The reality that we built by "escape" was visualized by the baby's story. On the other hand, we were all babies and we all drove the "fantasy train". Baby Driver. Baby's behavior of forcibly embedding "reality" into the rhythm of the song, isn't it the frivolousness of our youth? Who has never had such "escape" memories of growing up? However, those young people who live in their own "rhythm" will eventually encounter an "object" that completely disrupts the rhythm-the "other half when love comes". When love comes, nothing matters anymore. When love comes, it means that two different "rhythms" meet. Isn't love the process of two "rhythms" entangled with each other? It wasn't until I met that girl that "baby" realized how vulnerable the "escape" mode he had been accustomed to was. For the first time his "rhythm" encountered such a powerful "distortion force", he had to face it. To the "initial" scar in my heart...what does the moment of the car accident that the baby keeps recalling? It was not until the end that I realized that the movie actually hinted to us that it was not the apparent "parental quarrel" that caused the car accident. After all, whose parents don't quarrel? The real cause of a car accident is actually the "willfulness" and "irresponsibility" reflected in the "quarrel".
When the mother sang "easy", the baby looked at the girl in the driver's seat, the same scene, will he rush over and continue to escape from reality, or stop to face reality? This time, young people did not choose to use quarrels to escape reality like their parents did. Instead, they chose to face... the nature of love. Here, they surpassed blindness dominated by hormones and turned into a kind of reason dominated by reason. The conscious "love", this kind of love means: I love you not because you sing beautifully and look beautiful, but because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
The person who makes you have this impulse at a certain moment is your lover, the person who makes you stop and think about your concerns, and the things that make you consciously shoulder the burden are all expressions of love. In the end, please allow me to end with the classic lines in "Population": One day, you will meet a rainbow-like person, and from then on, everyone will be passing by.
