I would say 25 hours is too short

I watched this movie probably in 2013. At that time, I just dropped out of my freshman year, because I felt that the courses in the school were not what I wanted to learn, so I resolutely disregarded my parents, my elder brothers and sisters objected to going to Zhoushan and let my relatives arrange work. , I went to work for less than a day, and because I had too many ideas, I went out to work as a waiter, left Zhoushan, went to Hubei, went to Yinchuan, and wandered everywhere.

At that time, it was just because it was cheaper to spend the night in an Internet cafe, so I found this film aimlessly, because I had finished watching "Fight Club" in junior high school and regarded it as a standard. Not surprisingly, I was disappointed because "25 Hours" didn't show what I was looking for. That kind of blood. After graduating from college, I didn't choose to work steadily, and I joined a few financial companies. It was only two years after graduation, that is, now, when I saw this movie by chance, I realized that many details are in my mind and can evoke memories.

Maybe you can only understand the mood of the protagonist in the movie after you have really experienced some things. He played a good hand and played a bad hand. Originally, his high school grades were excellent, and his life was bright. If you restrain yourself, you should maintain a good material life now, and take pictures during holidays. , weekend sports dinner, maybe start talking about marriage, instead of being unemployed for several months every year, sitting alone in a rental house thinking about how to modify your resume before you can find the next job.

Unlike Monty, my cat was bought from a pet store. It was 8 months old, lively, active, and had a distinct coat. Anyone who saw him would like it except when he was sick. Before me, no one wanted to buy him. Maybe we all subconsciously think that life is wrong, and we long for someone to save us, so sympathy adds our own expectations to ordinary people. But the life that has already started to deviate, except that he is moving forward with cowardice and pain, the final result can only be collapsed.

It took me 7 years to go from a complacent teenager to a waste wood who is accustomed to the hardships at the bottom. It took me 7 years to understand this movie. For the youth who firmly grasped and did not want to let go, for the youth that should belong to me For the days when there are games and friends, 25 hours is too short for me, who should be a decent and generous person. Sometimes I am really short of money, how can I have the ability to make myself look like I have spare energy and work hard, now I can only face the mess and shout: Dad's youth is over

I don’t have a place to look for my other hour today. Sorry for writing in a mess. Tomorrow I will face an overdue credit card, become a black user, and work in a factory. I didn’t prepare so much.

To paraphrase the classic line from Westworld: These violent delights have violent ends

    Mary D'Annunzio: Vincent Phiscalla writes a story about his grandmother dying and you give him an A plus. And meanwhile, the night of the funeral, you wanna know where Rhodes Scholar Vince is? Getting smashed at a basketball party and slapping girls asses. I mean, what is that? A charity A+? You wanna know why everybody always writes about their grandmothers dying? It's not because it's so traumatic. It's because it's a guaranteed A+! And you sit there all sentimental "Oh, Vince it was very powerful, very moving." No, it wasn't. You didn't care. Nobody cared. That's what grandmothers do. They die!
