On the evening of February 14, I finished watching "Daydreamer".
This time it was done in one go, without interruption. A long time ago, I watched a video. The background music is this beautiful "Space Oddity". I attached it to the front. I will attach the lyrics at the end of the article.
Walter is the film processing staff of "Life" magazine. For a lost film, he embarks on a journey to find the photographer Sean far away. This is the main line of the story. During the journey, he took the gains and losses of love and dreams, and finally regained the hopes and dreams of life. The aesthetics of this movie is really fascinating, so to speak, catching up with "She" and "Budapest Hotel".
What I want to talk about is some of my thinking.
The Going and Staying of the Transformation of the Media
The magazine that Walter is in is called "Life". From the later shots, we can see that the "Life" on the wall has become "Life online" (from a paper magazine to an online version). I think that the current paper-media life is really not easy. Many people are desperately holding on to this position, especially a magazine called "Life". Presumably, the target group of this magazine should not be the general public, not like the uncles on the street. Aunts and high school students love to read (I think these two types of people should be the main consumers of magazines). Then the media transition to the Internet has become the only way. It does not matter whether the paper version is retained or not. Many independent media editors are not politicians. They are stubborn. Readers, I will not abandon them because of business!" Of course, the ending is very simple. Even if we have a strong feeling of nostalgia, it cannot stop the progress of the trend of the times.
What media people should think about is how not to forget their original intentions! While adhering to my original mission, turning a paper media into an Internet converged media, how to use the fast-paced language of the Internet to express my ideas and opinions, to be honest, this is really difficult , But we can’t let the idealists die, nor can we stifle the romanticism in our hearts! I think that media such as Sanlian Life Weekly, New Weekly, and Southern People Weekly are doing very well, but since I haven’t read these magazines much since 2019, I don’t know what the situation is now, but In 2018, "People Weekly" became less and less interesting. From the time when "Black Box" was written seriously in the past, to "Don't Forget the Original Heart, Remember the Mission" in October 2017. The thematic report of People’s Daily actually has the flavor of the People’s Daily. This really shouldn’t be what you are like as a free media. Later, reporting on Chen Shaojie, a singer and movie star, became more and more unsightly. I think, "Southern People Weekly" is Lost their first fifty thousand readers.
One cannot lose dreams, even daydreams
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Walt is always unable to concentrate. He is always distracted, always obsessing about himself, and doing some unrealistic romantic things, so that he was crazy about Greenland and Iceland. I have to doubt the authenticity (maybe influenced by watching "Muholland Road"), but to be honest, the story of Iceland is cool!
Yes, when do people daydream? When will you become sober? I think this is related to Walt’s situation. When he lost his dreams and was always struggling in real life, he began to daydream. When he was riding a bicycle, pedaling on a skateboard, and walking through the wilderness, he He really embarked on a journey of chasing dreams, so dreams merged into reality, and he enjoyed that moment. It turns out that dreams are beautiful, and the road to dreams is also such a happiness! People go in and out of the office, tap the keyboard every day, and calculate the percentage. They can't feel the existence of their dreams. Day after day work consumes people's will and buries people's talents. Therefore, a great singer, A great poet was strangled by himself, and people became greasy, boring, bad breath and irritable. Therefore, daydreaming is simply fun, and such moments should be remembered, not ashamed, and this is not second! People without dreams have no aura, their eyes are muddy, and their lives are boring. You can say that simple and boring days have simple and boring happiness. You can also say that you shoulder social responsibility, but I hope everyone should have a biological life. Spiritual energy, their eyes should emit the light of predators, everyone should make less excuses for themselves, seize the opportunity to dream, people who do not have daydreams, they must hesitate and shrink before the good time As for losing the opportunity to change yourself again and again, and change the world! This is a story that tells us to dream. Only dreaming can have a chance to realize our dreams.
Sean's gift to me
Sean is a happy and beautiful person. He has an ideal image. He seems to be very relaxed and carefree. There is no such person in reality. However, the two words of Sean are really great gifts. These two sentences were photographed.
1. Just want to enjoy the moment
People are always chasing something. This is right. Everything should be purposeful, but this does not mean that everything should be utilitarian, but when we are on the road, we must especially seek spiritual gain. Don’t Too much care about the loss of material. What can a negative film of a snow leopard bring? The gains of fame and fortune. Why did Sean go to shoot the snow leopard? Is it for the benefit of fame and fortune? Of course not, he is using the process of searching for snow leopards to feel the white snow of the Himalayas and to appreciate the true meaning of life ! Therefore, he doesn't care about the value of that film at all. What he cares about is all the journeys before the film is taken. What he cares about is the joyful play after the film is taken. Therefore, Please note that what Shaun is different from ordinary photographers is that ordinary photographers have gone through a painful search, filming the film, and gained the joy of fame and fortune. Shaun has experienced the search for happiness and got what he was looking for. Happiness, shoot the film (or not filmed), get the happiness of the spiritual level, and then participate in the later life with this gain and happiness. Obviously, Sean’s focus is on finding the double happiness before and after getting yes. When “getting” is not determined by a snow leopard film, whether to press the shutter is not so important anymore, because before and after happiness The boundaries of is no longer obvious, and he has already "obtained" during the journey. I often hear people say the three words "on the road". I think when we see these three words, we should not ask "What are we on the way?". It is not a question of purpose, but of purpose. "What kind of road?" It should be a question of experience, because people spend most of their lives on the road, and the moment when they reach the end, there are very few. "I just want to enjoy the moment." This sentence means to let us have fun in time, turn boredom into happiness, balance the relationship between material and spirit, change our mentality, and let us have enough joy in life to let ourselves Being able to enjoy the moment. I think this sentence is the most important gift Sean gives us, to enjoy the moment and focus on spiritual gain.
2. Beautiful things never seek attention
This is a personal gift from Sean to me. Rather than telling it in detail, it is better to realize it by yourself. You can experience it by combining with Sean's first sentence.
Concluding remarks
In short, a lot of movies recently my opinion, the morning saw "a parting", the evening saw this "day dreamer", as we said, the film is very beautiful.
We are always following the footsteps of beauty, hoping that we can all be washed by art and feel the beauty of life and dreams. Finally, I recommend this beautiful "Space Oddity", a song that is very suitable for broadcasting at night on the radio.
