Charlie asked the screenwriting teacher who opened the training class, what if I were to adapt a novel with no storyline, bland, no drama, no changes, boring like our usual life. The screenwriter teacher roared, how can life be dull, there are murders everywhere, there is one person falling in love with another person everywhere, or one person kills another person to get something, how can nothing happen?
But this is also someone else's life, our own life, and sometimes it's just so bland and repetitive. Long-term dissatisfaction, complaining, and self-loathing are nothing more than wanting to ask for this kind of unending day. A little passion, a little excitement, let us feel that we really exist. This existence is not to let others tell you how important you are, but the feeling of your skin and your internal organs.
A middle-aged man who sells small toys in front of the Jiuzhou City Dafengche Sushi restaurant is sitting on the ground, and he sells plastic toys that can turn somersaults if he tries his best. After the toy turned five or six somersaults away from him, he picked up the toy and put it back at his feet to let it continue turning. Occasionally he would look up and look around the crowd with empty eyes. What will he be thinking, will he expect some changes in life, will he think about whether he has a future, will he fantasize about anything?
The script can be bland at the beginning and in the middle, but there must be changes at the end, giving people room for longing and imagination. Is that so? How to write a book without a story, and how to end a story without a beginning? Twenty years of life has gone by like this, things have gone through a lot, every point is different, and the expressions you make at each time make you different from other people living in this world, but the same life, old age, sickness, death, love and hate Love and hatred all germinate from the same seed, so in the end we are still the same people, we share the same DNA. So we're not that different, we're not much special, and the people I hate share a DNA set with me, which is enough to annoy a lot of people.
It's very simple to like something, and losing the feeling is something that happens in an instant. Will we feel sentimental about the things we no longer miss? No, if you're still thinking about it, it's not the time to have sex yet. Feeling lost for a reason? There is no reason, just like the orchid thief John in the movie, he has not experienced any loss from the process of falling in love with turtles to giving up turtles to fish. That's why Susan, who hangs out with him, is lost. Falling in love with someone and yearning for the feeling of being protected, getting a sense of security that one desires to live in the world, but this sense of security is actually not safe, it is just an illusion brought about by the secretion of hormones in one's own body, is this not true? Desperate enough?
If you do something wrong, you will be punished, which is why we always want to go back in time, even as a child, and start our own life again. Why we seek regeneration, why we long for Nirvana. We can't forgive ourselves for doing something wrong. Life is a one-way street, and there is no way to go back. Many people know this. Susan's mistakes cost her John, Charlie's brother, and her life. Our original life may be rich and mediocre, maybe this is a life that people need, so don't give up too easily.
Observe the life around you and savor her. The orchid is just a small miracle created by the Creator, and there is comfort in watching and admiring her. The things around us often fail to touch us, and we often appreciate the beauty of life in photos. Slow down when walking and watch different people walk past you, look at their expressions, see what kind of shoes they're wearing. Sometimes I walk by without suddenly asking about the strong smell of water vapor mixed in the soil, and I feel that a heavy rain is coming. It's just that the people around you are in a hurry and can't turn around.
Indulge in the large clouds in Zhuhai during the day, and there is a possibility of fainting directly in the scorching sun. When the sun sets, the intricate clouds are lined up in the sky, and the battle is majestic, like the skirt of a medieval European lady, which is extremely sexy. In the middle of the night, when there is no one else to accompany me, I stand alone on the balcony and watch a cloud drifting over the top of the mountain, watching the flickering aircraft lights move quickly and steadily in the distance, cicadas chirping in my ears, and classmates downstairs laughing and laughing. . Stand for a while and then go back to sleep.
