22 It is very similar to many people I know. These people have a basically common contemporary appearance. This kind of thing is difficult to tell. It is a collection of some very subtle "contemporary temperaments", which appeared in a specific era that was separated from the experience of our predecessors. There are both individual characteristics and collective commonalities, which are expressed in a refined and concentrated manner in the 22 bodies of "Spiritual Journey".
The reason why it is difficult to tell is because these people often have some contradictory things at the same time :
Most of them are between the ages of 20 and 30, showing higher IQ than their peers; however, in terms of words and deeds, attitudes and even expressions, people will feel that they are younger than their actual age.
They are very smart. In the environment of information explosion, they can easily absorb information, which can correspond to the fact that 22 has experienced so many world celebrities as teachers - just like in this era, you can be touched by the world with a click of a mouse or a touch of the screen. The most powerful people "teach" -- so what if they were "taught", to procrastinate or to procrastinate, to inaction or inaction, our natures are as stubborn as 22 and a little smug.
Like 22, we can basically talk about any topic, even those that have not been studied in depth, can be said to have some ambiguous "finishing touches", sharing or paraphrasing or summarizing from fragmented information. The "viewpoint" that comes. Even because of the humorous, dare to speak, skilled and widely quoted famous quotes, can accurately ridicule or satirize every little glitch that appears on the surface, it can easily become the center of the conversation. It's no wonder that 22 can do so much in the barbershop.
If you think that such "we" are just fools, then you are wrong. "We" often have their own areas of expertise and even very in-depth areas. Because of the many channels for obtaining information, they are well-informed and understand a lot of truth, and even Some very esoteric propositions are involved, which is why 22 is so comfortable in that "previous world" You Seminar.
But they lack enthusiasm in a way—not enthusiasm for knowledge, which they have enough of, but lack of enthusiasm for some of the most basic and essential things that humans are accustomed to. This is not difficult to understand, because most of them are in contact with the world through a screen. The world transmits a virtual thing through this small frame. These things have no touch or taste. They seem to be "experiences", but there is no Real feeling. Just like the super-large space in the film that cultivates everyone's Spark, although it is filled with various objects, it seems to allow you to "experience", but this experience is virtual, in form and concept - the food has no taste, Painting has no touch - just like the color scheme of this space, it is illusory and ethereal. Some people can really be "lit", but "we" like 22 can't be integrated or moved.
All things are "integrated" in one place, and the Hall of Everything formed figuratively shows the secondhand way of understanding the world through the Internet - the world is plastic, no, it just looks plastic, There is no entity more than plastic.
22 Usually eyes are half-open, their eyes rarely shine, and the corners of the mouth are frivolous with a smug smile that controls the overall situation. This kind of smile is not annoying (because it is cute enough in itself, and those who are not cute do it carefully, it is easy to appear dead fish eyes) , this look isn't really sincere, it's just the easiest way to fight all the boredom in this world.
He disdains those "great men", he proudly watches himself defeat them easily with this contemptuous laugh and deliberate "inaction", and enjoys the process, typically deliberately using "I understand the truth, but..." To die for you, enjoy "I just like to see how you can't do anything about me."
22 can change voices and use that voice only because "it upsets people".
But don't think that it is deliberately tricking people. What kind of evil can a little soul have? It's just that it despises these "authorities". When these people act as "mentors" seriously, earnestly, and peacefully influence him over time, it Just instinctively challenge them.
However, when it saw that the person beside him—the dying Joe with the hat—was not in a lofty position as a mere "mentor", but cheated through small means like him, it had a sense of intimacy. - It can play with the established system with this person. When there was such a possibility, he became interested.
So 22 started cooperating, and when Jerry first tried to declare that they failed to light the spark and let Joe go back to the Great Beyond step, 22 tactfully said "breakdance, we haven't tried breakdance yet", saving Joe once , and bring him into the "box", which is the zone (the space between the physical and spiritual).
Before entering the box, in the face of Joe's questioning, 22 gave his reasons for helping him:
This again reflects the contradictory coexistence in this little genius:
Although he is proficient in various theories and has a wealth of knowledge, he is not clear about some basic human emotions and cognition, or in fact, ordinary people do not think about these problems in life from its perspective. And, interestingly, it doesn't mind finding out. This led to the following series of adventures.
In fact, the more important reason for them to cooperate is its kind background . This is also a quality often reflected in young people you know around you. They will deliberately help you in a seemingly indifferent attitude, but they are actually sincere, and even interesting because they feel needed.
The 22-year-old who came to the world was panicked, even forced, when he first came into contact with the busy and crowded world outside. Until it has tasted the "real taste", and what is valuable is that it can express its likes without shyness, without pretending at all-I really like this kind of people who can express themselves when they are happy.
22 thinks he's "heard music" and already knows music (and even other art forms), just like he didn't get the spark when he first heard Joe look back at the piano he played in his life. But he actually only touched the most superficial things, and only touched a small part of the music. He had no chance to hear the music that really suits him, and he had never been to the real music scene, so when he was in the subway with When the musicians came face to face, they were caught when they heard the original and direct Lovelove. (Although I don't think that song is very nice, but the attitude of singing is devoted and sincere).
22 is actually very sensitive to some living details and likes to collect small things. Its perception ability is very good, but it was not used before. And this sensitivity makes it especially caring for those who care, and will be hit by some words or things that others think are insignificant. So although it is very powerful in other respects, it is fragile here, easily blackened, and of course, the goodness of the background will make it re-accept the person who hurt it and recover.
Therefore, although I may feel that "Spiritual Journey" does have a bit of chicken soup, and the overall story line is relatively simple, the social and contemporary sense reflected by the character of 22 makes people like it very much, and it is well-adjusted. A few days after the end, every time I think about it, I think it's a very good character setting. After all, it is a rare thing to be able to accurately feel the slight pulse of this era and be willing to patiently feel its beating.
Therefore, in the future, when encountering such "we", maybe you can take "22" as a reference, maybe it will be easier to understand us a little bit, instead of simply labeling us as "social fear", "unruly" or "young" One-dimensional labels such as "vigorous" and "Mode emotional high IQ loser".
