Life is impermanent, long live understanding

To be honest, I started to annoy the heroine in the middle of the movie. It was unrealistic and nonsense. The hero's career just got a little better. She poured cold water on the side. How could a person be so mindless?

Even when the male lead persuaded the female lead to let her go on tour with him, I secretly encouraged the female lead: Go, you quickly say go, he has a basic salary of one thousand dollars a week, plus commission, copyright and No matter how you look at all kinds of income, you won't suffer.

Later, my girlfriend woke me up and she said: The hostess should be very painful, and I understand her pain.

When I got out of the movie theater, I kept wondering why the heroine was in pain, and I didn’t get home yet. I figured it out.

The movie contains a tall shell called a dream. In fact, it is still the most basic problem of the relationship between men and women. Some women are looking for a man to find a meal ticket. I am responsible for being beautiful and you are responsible for making money to support the family. I don't care what you do. You can get the money back. Don't worry about what I do. You can have your credit card in my hand. The hostess belongs to another kind. I don't care how much money I have in my family, I care if my life is rushing.

Her former boyfriend is rich, a faceless dude, eats a high-end restaurant, and talks about the upper class. The female protagonist is not happy, and as a result, she is impoverished and defeated by an ideal and backbone male protagonist. Talent is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is congeniality. Everyone has dreams, and everyone is striving for a goal, so how do they shine. Some people pursue holding hands to grow old with their sons, and some people can’t think so far. She pursues holding hands to make progress together. The ideal is a thread tied to the two of them. If the thread breaks, the person will definitely fall apart. .

So when the male protagonist suddenly started to play music that he looked down upon before, and changed the way to make money, the female protagonist suddenly fell to the bottom. What do you mean? Aren't we all people who are desperate for our dreams, falling down 10,000 times and struggling to climb forward? Why did you stand up without saying a word, changed your way, and saved the country?

This is like the saying: Saying that we will get to the white head together, but you secretly baked the oil. Just burn it with oil. You are quite proud. After two years of this, can you still remember who I am?

The most brilliantly processed scene of the movie is when the male protagonist is on a tour performance, while rubbing the high-tech instrument that looks like a variant version of an electronic piano on the stage (I really don’t know what this thing is called, ask the gods for guidance). Fans cheered for him like crazy and squeezed in front of him feverishly. At this time, the heroine was stupid. She couldn't squeeze those people. She was unwilling. She gave up her position to one fan after another, and finally with a trace of panic, she withdrew from the camera.

She panicked. From the beginning of the performance, she watched the male lead with a complicated expression. She wanted to see him very decadent and depressed, and wanted to see his painful expression, in order to verify the speculation in her heart: he did This matter is not happy.

Normal men will collapse when faced with this mentality. It is so easy for me to find a profitable business. Do you expect me to be unhappy? Is there something wrong with you?

The male protagonist is indeed not unhappy. He likes music and he is also making music. Although it is not the music he most wants to make, he can make money and enjoy the admiration and love of thousands of eyes. Why are you making him unhappy? There are seven deadly sins in humans, one of which is called vanity. This is instinct and gene. If vanity is satisfied, it will inevitably get pleasure, no matter whether it is true or not.

This is the source of the biggest contradiction between the two men and women. The female protagonist is distressed by the male protagonist because he has not realized his dream straightforwardly, and he is detouring; the male protagonist is also distressed by the female protagonist, because they can't live on their dreams, they have to eat, in order to solve the problem of eating first, the dream is temporarily released On the one hand, go around the long way, and you will come back anyway.

I have to say that some people really can only share adversities and cannot share blessings. When everyone is miserable, they are happier, at least there is no harm if there is no comparison. Once one person takes off first, the other person has no bottom. Can you slow down, I can't keep up, I'm afraid.

Therefore, the psychological activity of the heroine is one of regretting the talent of the hero, and one of lamenting his career.

Does she think too much? Indeed it is. Talent is something you can only regret. Others must never do it for you. You can laugh at yourself with the words "wasting talent". You can say it by hitting someone else's mouth. No matter how much you talk about it, it sounds like a curse.

But she thinks about this, is there a problem? nor.

This reminds me of the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", where Harry cried when he was annoyed by Qiu Zhang. Hermione explained to him why Qiu Zhang was crying and summed up four or five reasons. Ron was stunned. Ron said: One person can't think about so many things at the same time, it will explode.

Hermione mocked him: You can't think that everyone else is like that just because you only have a teaspoonful of affection.

Ron is a typical male thinking. There is one thing to say and one thing to do, don't think too much. Hermione is a typical female thinking. You can't just look at the one thing in front of you, you have to connect the past and the next, and ask questions.

This is why, the most frequently asked question by boys is: How come I love you or not for such a big mess?

But the girls are really like this, their thinking is like a salmon return home: you are late-you have never been late before-even if you are late, you will explain in advance and apologize afterwards-this time you did not do this ——Are you not loving me anymore?

Who is wrong? No one is wrong. Men and women are two species, so they need to get in touch, understand, communicate constantly, and communicate seriously.

In the movie, there is no communication between the male and female protagonists. The male thinks: Your mother thinks that I am not making money. I am making money now. Why are you still unhappy? The woman thinks: I don’t want you to make money in this way.

It's actually a matter of one or two sentences, just let it go. But no one said.

The female protagonist did not carefully consider the male protagonist, and the male protagonist did not consider the female protagonist. He asked the hostess to leave what he was doing and go on a tour with him, which probably meant "It doesn't matter if your career is not going well, I will support you."

It stands to reason that this is a great sentence, but the heroine is an independent person above all, and the hero has a career. What about her? The male lead can support her. What if one day, the male lead likes others and does not want to support her?

This is a question of security. The sense of security does not mean that I don't have to do anything with a person, but when this person can't do everything, I can still maintain my dignity.

So this story turned into a tragedy, not a unique tragedy, but a tragedy that happens all the time in this world.

The movie shows the contradiction of men’s survival vividly: it is not that he really cares about his career, but that he can’t help it. Although we have advocated women's rights for a long time, it is estimated that it will take more than a hundred years to achieve equality between men and women. Before that, a man can only be the core of a family, the beam of the house, and the backbone. If women don’t work, they rely on men to support them. Everyone will say that this woman’s life is really good, but you have to try a big man who doesn’t work every day and doesn’t make money. You rely on women to support you. What do you guys say?

Everyone will say that this man is really worthless.

Of course, I know that many women don't care about this now. They can make money and are willing to take the lead by themselves. They don't mind that their husband is a full-time husband at home. But people have to look at the bigger picture. With so many people in the world, how many women can account for this part of the world? One percent? thousandth?

When something requires an extremely slow historical process to change, it is wrong if you can't kill it, you have to understand. Once you understand this, you understand the film. I understood why the host and the host thought about each other, but they were quarreling so hard that they didn't get together in the end.

This is why, I think this movie is not romantic at all, because a romantic movie will make the male protagonist decisively give up his career when the female protagonist needs the support most and watch the female protagonist’s performance. A romantic movie will allow the male protagonist to get forgiveness from his partner after doing such a self-destructive thing, and continue to climb to the pinnacle of life.

The reality is very cruel. If you want something, you have to give up something. There is nothing to complain about, nothing to regret, any choice is irreversible, and people are responsible for themselves.

My girlfriend cried when she saw it in the cinema in the last ten minutes, looking for papers everywhere. At the same time, sitting on the side of me is just because the male and female masters "surely not be together" and I am very excited. After the show, I asked her why she was crying. She said that when she was watching the flashback, she thought of many ways for the host and the host, but found that they were destined to separate, so she felt very sad.

I froze for a moment. Because I thought the process was the same as hers, but got different results. I also thought about a lot of ways for the host and the hostess, and found that they really can't be together, so I am very happy. I think that since it is destined to be separated, it should be a good thing to separate, which means that no one has delayed anyone.

So this is the difference in our thinking. One will be sad because of the cruelty of fate, and the other will be relieved because "what was doomed to fail has finally failed."

Of course, we didn't have any contradictions because of this. On the contrary, it made me love her a little bit more because she has empathy.

Empathetic girl, who doesn't love?

When I published my book two years ago, I wrote in my postscript: If two people are not suitable, they will get better soon, and if they are suitable, they will be together if they die.

Now I don't dare to think like that. I think that sometimes it's not because two people happen to be together, but because they get to the end, we say that they are suitable.

Life is impermanent, long live understanding. People can't always think about suitable and inappropriate problems, and still love, communicate more and work harder. There are rocky feet in the shoes. You can't throw the shoes off when you are angry. Take them off first, knock the stones off, and put them on again. Isn't it a lot more comfortable?
