This makes me wonder if I have entered a numb and indifferent stage of life. Faced with an ending that could have been "satisfactory", I didn't even cry in tears, and I didn't even feel any regrets. I just wanted to stand up and give my sincere applause. Blessing: Fortunately, you once let go of each other's hands.
The plot is simple:
two literary and artistic youths living in Los Angeles met and fell in love, but finally broke up because they wanted to pursue their own dreams in life. Encountered five years later, they all became what they wanted to be, and finally ended the unexpected encounter with a smile and a grudge.
Such stories are played out every day. If Los Angeles is changed to Beijing, the character prototype would be like this:
an actress and an 18th-line underground musician in a small theater met. They chewed on pancake fruits and bribed them in a live house. The ticket inspectors entered the venue and saved a week’s meal money to buy a bottle of green stick to drink together. Under the angry rock music BGM, tears flickered in their eyes to encourage each other, "You can do it" and "You too."
The ending of the story will be the same: there is also Spring for the runners. She eventually becomes a first-line female artist, and the eighteenth-line musician is no longer sad. He opened a tavern in Drum Tower, although the small crowd is often overcrowded.
They finally realized their dreams in life, but at the moment they met, they still uncontrollably staged a life AB drama in the intracranial theater. If they hadn't separated at the beginning, they had now reached the pinnacle of life together.
It is this scene that aroused many people's inner desires, how many people reached an emotional climax, they remembered the person who once gave up, the relationship that they had missed, and they suddenly realized that all I got was a fluke, I lost It's all life.
You must not take this moment seriously.
What you miss, and what you feel sorry for is that a relationship has not come to an end. As for whether it is true love, it is another matter.
Like memories, movies always beautify our experience. After many years, you will forget the poverty you encountered together in the past, the hatred of each other in times of adversity, the quarreling over trivial matters, the neglect and disappointment, even if you remember, these unpleasant experiences will be like a soft mirror, which is pleasing to the eye. A lot.
Only those beautiful things will be magnified. They become more and more special in your heart, so unusual that everything in front of you seems incomparable.
This is a bad habit and a commonality. We always look at the lost and missed things differently, as if only the things that no longer belong to us are the best.
But you forgot that you had a very firm reason to give up at the beginning, and you have vowed to believe that you will not regret it.
At that moment, you have compared, you weighed, and you have chosen. Don't blame your fate on others. All of this is your own choice.
Therefore, the hypothesis of that montage is nothing but a mirror image, an illusion that will never happen. Have you ever wondered if the couple in the movie did not part ways, could they still achieve what they are today? Can you still look at each other after realizing your dream?
The man-made perfect ending must be infinitely attractive, because it breaks away from the cramped reality, and the perfect is like the fake.
So, why bother? What you are chasing, what you want, you have made a choice a few years ago.
Since you have chosen your dream, you should pay the price.
In fact, when mentioning similar words such as life goals, ideals, and dreams, I always feel that the existence of these concepts is inherently absurd.
The "ideal views" and "dream views" that we have cultivated since childhood seem to be about ourselves, and most of them only focus on careers, careers, and jobs. We want to be scientists, dancers, travel around the world, and take a picture. A great movie, going to the moon...
These dreams are very good, but they are too thin. They only illuminate one side of life, but have nothing to do with the dimensions of family, love, and lifestyle.
Most people's dreams are narrow, and I have rarely heard anyone whose dreams cover their future love or family life.
We did not leave a place for love in our dreams. It is not difficult to understand why dreams are always mutually exclusive with love, and why in the dilemma, more people choose to give up love and realize their dreams.
Because in our language and cultural environment, the word dream itself is more advanced than love.
Times are different, and it is not just men who abandon love and go to their ideals.
Yi Shu wrote a story called "Hidden". When faced with the choice between love and career, the mother of the heroine Wang Weiyuan asked her: "How many young women like you are in a dilemma?" Weiyuan replied, "It's all over the street. It’s
not just the people in movies and novels who will accept the test of reality. You, me, and him, who are as ordinary as weeds, may face such embarrassment one day. Turning left is love, turning right is dreaming. You are standing at a fork in the road, like a boiled heart.
I don't think we must give up love for ideals, after all ideals are always there, but love is like a ghost.
This may also be a possibility that the two in the film did not achieve a positive result. There is indeed a deep relationship between them, but it may not be love. They are attracted to each other and admire each other, but they love themselves more than they love each other.
Mia is the female version of Xiaosai, and Xiaosai is the male version of Mia. They are all cherished blood, they are all impoverished, they all love art, they all have talents, and they all live in their own world.
This is also an interpretation of the title LA LA LAND: immerse yourself in your own world.
It is precisely because of such similar situations that they have so many connected feelings, so many similar views, and the same paranoia and neuroticism.
They fall in love with each other, in fact, it is more like self-pity, they are fascinated by each other, in fact, it is more like affirming themselves. Life has been so difficult, it is always good to have a person fighting alongside oneself.
Wang Xiaobo once wrote in a poem to Li Yinhe: My courage and your courage add up, is it enough to deal with this world, right?
It is this desire to use superimposed courage and tenacity to resist the hardships of life together, which supports them hand in hand, but once the situation is better, they are finally affirmed in the eyes of others and the world, LA LA LAND has become a utopia. The so-called love has become a tasteless one.
So, Mia and Xiaosai finally became reality, you acted your play, I played my piano, and then bid farewell to the old indecent self, together with the troubled feelings.
Perhaps, such a person will appear in our lives. He just comes to accompany you for a while, just to go to a certain stage of life with you, and once that specific state is over, his task is completed, and he will send you to you To the next ferry, the final farewell is to watch you leave.
When Mia and Xiaosai meet again, no one needs to regret them. After harvesting the fruits of your dreams, after you become more confident and mature, the destination you find is closer to the love in real life-not to find yourself, nor to comfort each other, but to find pure love and grow old together. .
You see, not all misses and separations are a pity, because sometimes it is precisely the misses and separations that make you realize your dream and make him the person he wants to be.
