We are also Satan's children

I bought the compilation of Stanley Kubrick a long time ago, but I haven't watched them one by one. I just watched the very famous "A Clockwork Orange", "A Pear Blossom Pressed Begonia" and "The Shining". Kubrick’s films require a little bit of psychological preparation to watch. For example, when watching "The Shining", I didn’t feel scared at the time. I couldn’t sleep all night after watching it. I always suspected the sound of an axe slamming the door in my ears. Dreaming will also walk into the wall of the puzzle, and there will be blood rushing out, and I often think of Jack Torrance’s repeated typing on the typewriter: "All work and no play makes jack a dull", the back of the head I can’t help but

feel cold... Although I have already seen another style of Kubrick in "A Clockwork Orange", it is not pure horror, it is the kind of psychological fear that comes from modifying human nature with violence. It feels like people under power are like ants. If "The Shining" brings us psychological thrills, then "A Clockwork Orange" brings us psychological depression. Kubrick is a master who is good at grasping your heart. He slowly invites you to enter the urn with a not nervous camera rhythm. "Eye-Opening" is like this. The soothing plot is one after another erotic excitement, but it pulls you. Enter a weird trap, and what you get in the end is not panic, not depression, but a very strong sense of unreality and insecurity, just as Nicole Kidman said at the end: "I just know One thing: throughout our lives, we will not understand all the truth. Let alone one night. But I want to tell you that I really love you. And the only thing we should do now is make love. "The

flesh is the most real feeling. Sometimes we will be suspicious of the existence of the soul, but the more so, the more we desire the most authentic embrace. There is no better way to prove our existence than the experience of hand-to-hand combat between men and women. Marriage, morality, food and clothing, and the mainstream way of living cannot conceal the chaotic and weird evil in her heart, just like Nicole messing with all the men in full view in a dream, but also using loud laughter to mock her. Husband; just like a perfect and elegant doctor, husband, and father, he will go to prostitutes repeatedly. When sensible is in heat, people are all Satan's children.

Fortunately, we don't have to strive for perfection. Throughout our lives, we are just stumbling and bumping in the pursuit of perfection. Sometimes, it is not that we cannot understand the truth, but the truth is like a mite magnified under a microscope, ugly to be unbearable and we still have to tolerate it parasitic in our skin. Therefore, the rarest confusion is actually the most reliable way of life. Don’t try to analyze and test yourself. Don’t treat yourself and others’ hearts as old millet in the warehouse and turn them out to dry. You must know that there are the ugliest animals living there. As you see, it will really exist in your life all the time.

Fortunately, we live in a packed world. We are well-dressed, graceful and moderate. You must know that humans are very eye-catching animals, and their bodies are so beautiful and moving when they take off their clothes. I have seen so many beautiful bodies in "Eye-Opening". You can regard them as masterpieces of the Creator, or as gifts from Satan. It's like a person's inner world with arms removed. Angels and demons are no more than a single thought, but we are not angels but humans. Angels sometimes fall asleep, and Satan also has a pair of wings that look like angels.

People are so humble and small, yet so fragile and complicated. The rich and powerful can conspire with Satan and turn the weird dreams into reality, just like the weird party party full of religious colors, and more people are just contradictory poor children, just like Tom in the movie. ·The Cruises, they either lost in dreams, strayed in their hearts, or occasionally derailed and absurd in reality, or they firmly believed that Satan was the angel in their hearts, and they were degenerate and happy with peace of mind. Every creature is a child of God. No matter how many mistakes they make, Jesus will say: Forgive them. They don't know what they do.

Therefore, I firmly believe that forgiveness is the noblest quality in human nature, and tolerance is the most benevolent character. When we cannot achieve tolerance and forgiveness, we must learn to be confused and forget. This is the most profound wisdom in human nature. You will live peacefully and happily.

"Eye-opener" really opened my eyes. Kubrick is like an illusionist, opening your chest layer by layer on the stage, letting you sitting under the stage look at your pulsating heart and blood vessels. The direction and the location of the five internal organs. This is a cruel process. You suddenly understand why we can comfortably tolerate our own derailment while condemning the faults of others. We are all helpless children. There are only two ways to seek safety: cover up and deceive, yes. Others, but also to yourself.

Kubrick’s finishing touch is a kind of humanistic care. He used Nicole’s words to show people a way out: instead of entangled with the truth, it is better to follow the feelings of the present and seize the time to love. The past and the future are not true. It is always the most childish promise, come on, love me or not, do it to me, while I still feel, and while you still have motivation.
