Kaufman’s story often nests itself, iterates itself, like Klein bottle, Mobius ring, ouroboros, the tail will drill into the head, it will propose some concepts, tell some stories, create Some questions, and the interpretation of these concepts, the analysis of the story, and the answers to the questions seem to be understood only by referring to the story itself. That's where it's fascinating, the genius Writer's Block can also become Block Of Mavelous Writing.

Kitsch and quirky works that satisfy the public are always very popular and have a lot of traffic, because many Muggle audiences on the market have no artistic pursuit, and they only love Douyin in their lives, and only read the public account of marketing soft articles, all for entertainment. , cool. Capital is also very fond of this kind of cool text, giving the audience a cool carrier, so that they can harvest a wave of "appreciation". What is the use of esoteric philosophy and art? More often it will make audiences who have a lot of money and stupid people feel bored, IQ insulted, confused and want to sleep. Not everyone can accept this cognitive discomfort zone. If people can, they will choose the things that they know the least in their entire life to obtain the greatest comfort, as long as life allows.

Kaufman criticized the Hollywood production line for cheating, gunfights, and drug plots, but sometimes it's really delicious. After all, when inspiration runs out, you have to rely on this kitsch to make a meal, just like "Trumbo", of course, Trumbo is not out of inspiration , but the times do not allow it. Kaufman can't wait for such kitsch people to be shot and smashed into shit, like they were treated by Quentin. At the same time, he also ridiculed McGee, the fast food culture, and the 30-day quick start. But in today's society, people live the best life, but they look like a dog. They are talking about Donald, his brother in the film, who learned After a three-day crash course, I gave the genius brother some advice and wrote a script that was popular with major studios. He was a successful example of "successful learning", and the script he wrote was very similar to "Deadly ID". But as a successful and talented screenwriter, Kaufman despised this kind of McKee's success, and thought he was an axe. Although he also completed the script according to the suggestion of "Mckey" in the film, if everyone thinks the ending of the movie is good , may have been caught in Kaufman's trap. Kaufman implied that the more in front, the more exciting the movie is, especially the beginning of the biological explosion to the emergence of humans.

At the same time, it also ridicules the slogans of serious literature and political correctness everywhere, and ridicules the author of the orchid thief to beautify himself, just like an Internet celebrity who only makes a bright circle of friends. In reality, everyone will say the big truth of political correctness, but those who say it do not do it behind their backs, and those who really believe in those nonsense will suffer.

Happy Together appeared three times in the film, and Wong Kar-wai's "Breakthrough" also used this soundtrack. Before the song at the end of the film, Kaufman made a somewhat literary narration, and it really suddenly had a taste of Wong Kar-wai. , but the most literary section is Lao Xu's self-introduction to the wonderful relationship between mating of flowers and insects - The point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid looks exactly like a certain insect. So the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul-mate and wants nothing more than to make love to it. After the insect flies off it spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. How could they know that because of their little dance, the world lives? By simply doing what they're designed to do something large and magnificent happens. In this sense, they show us how to live,how the only barometer you have is your heart, how when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way. Nature is so mysterious, the fate of all living beings seems to be designed and destined, as long as you follow the nature, the world will be became incredible.
