"You have to be prepared to run away desperately at any time."
In fact, winter is not suitable for watching this type of film that focuses on the lives of marginalized people, otherwise, the more you watch it, the colder you will feel. Even if the season of the film itself is framed in hot summer, the cold will still deepen with the advancement of the camera.
Fortunately, the sun is friendly these few days, the curtains are opened, the temperature of the world is full, the bedroom has become bright, and my whole person has become alive. Pick a free afternoon, grab a few bottles of cold beer from the downstairs refrigerator, carry the laptop and small blanket to the balcony, and sit on the rattan chair under the balcony to watch a movie with Erlang’s legs crossed. Nothing is more authentic than spending an afternoon sensitively and peacefully.
[Reality] is something I don't want to touch. I even admit that 90% of my life is not so real, but sometimes, reality can save the whole situation. A chain of lies may be forgivable because of a truth that cannot be easily confessed, after all most of the time people lie just to live a better life. Just as children use fairy tales to transition to their own growth, people need to use longing to buffer real life at every moment.
But to live is to run away, and to live is to be a thief anytime, anywhere—snatch every moment of joy from God's hand.
"Mist, I'm going to buy a house that really belongs to us, I'm going to get a job, I'll never do drugs again, I'll never beat myself up for money again, and I'm trying to get my life back on track."
Family divorce, mother's drug use, poor grades, street degradation, racism, and underage restrictions, the movie's protagonist, Mister, is not trapped in any of these abyss.
Because Mister has a movie dream, he is carrying this dream, angry and powerless, chasing, fighting, stalemate, shouting, roaring. Dancing in poverty, kneeling in front of reality, blurring in the lens of dreams, collapsing forever in the spiritual world of self, and then learning to try real life on the ruins after the collapse.
Watching the first half of the movie, I thought it was a story about marginalized people accusing the social system, but in the second half, with the development of Pitt's branch, I realized that the movie itself didn't want to accuse anything, it was just showing a group The way of living is to focus on the life background of a group and pay attention to the social problems of a group.
Pete asked, "Can a man not love his mother?"
Mister replied, "You can't help loving her, but you can dislike her."
In addition to the sexual abuse of acquaintances, the film also involves domestic abuse. I hold my breath when Pete lifts his shirt back to Mist, and the iron stamps appear on the backs of children, just like the devil's mark appears on the face of an angel. The pain of the skin itself will fade with the passage of time, but the damage of the soul is difficult to be repaired by time.
Even though there is no legal stipulation that people must love their parents, human society has always believed that people must respect and love their parents. This is a clear moral rule, a shackle of human nature, and a remote control of genes. I regret it.
Morality never hears true humanity.
Mist and Pete could not avoid failure.
No one in this world can avoid failure.
