It's like Justine keeps smiling and smiling, doing all the newlyweds, as crazy as any bride, and all in vain.
Depression is the cage that binds her. She tries her best to reach out and touch the people outside, the people she knows love her deeply, the people she loves, but she can't. Those she tried to touch, her parents, always fled in one way or another, and those who tried to touch her were always stabbed by her.
It's just that the more you love and cherish, the more you are afraid of losing the sadness, and the more you want to escape.
How much Micheal loves her, he said I bought a sapling, in ten years it will grow into a big tree, and then when you feel bad again, you can run there and sit in the shade , maybe we can buy a swing and hang it on the branches.
He said, I am not very good at speaking, but said over and over again, I love you.
But in vain.
She lives in a silent deep sea, and the world seems to be separated by a layer of water. No matter how hard she struggles, she will not be able to break through that layer of sadness.
Just being in touch with the outside world is indispensable to every soul. Since she can't love, can't get pleasure from this world, so she hurts and scolds the boss of the production machine who uses her as an advertising slogan to have sex with a random man on an empty golf course.
She was just too desperate.
Like a trapped beast struggling in a cage, desperate to the point of even unscrupulousness.
She loves them, loves the people around her, they love her too, and they go to great lengths to give her a wedding that will make her happy.
But she couldn't be happy, it was like a silent ocean, she lay there, and then a little bit drowned and suffocated by melancholy.
At the moment when the sea water filled her lungs, she fought in vain, and then sank quietly, watching her loved ones gradually leave.
It's not that she doesn't want to, it's just depression, which is the fate that human beings have shouldered since the day they were born, and they can't get rid of it.
Leonardo da Vinci would struggle for twenty years to cast the perfect bronze horse, and Wagner lived between ecstasy and grief.
Geniuses are not happy, let alone ordinary people like you and me.
Melancholy is an emotion that has appeared since the birth of knowledge. At the end of the Fourth Ice Age, when an ape who did not know which one started walking upright was sitting by the grass and suddenly heard the wind in the reeds by the river, he suddenly realized that he was Being different from this world, he knew that there was an endless long road in front of him, and he began a journey full of fear and loneliness.
Justine said I know something, I know.
However, the more you understand the world, the more transparent you are, the easier it is to get hurt.
The more you understand the destiny that every human being is bound to perish, the more you know the insignificance of human beings compared with this endless universe, the easier it is to not understand why the people around you are happy or sad for some unimportant things . Marriage, love, and happiness are but short-lived comforts that human beings look for when facing the shadow of death. In the final analysis, life is but a dream.
So she can't be happy, because she knows that after all the prosperity is an endless waste. It's just that she knew that it wasn't her own choice.
So when the asteroid named Melancholy was about to hit the earth, only Justine accepted it calmly.
Because she had already accepted this fate, the fate of destruction.
And those who cling to the joys of life in vain either panic like Claire, or deny like John, and when they can't deny it, choose to escape the truth forever.
Suddenly, the identities of the two sisters were reversed. Justine was no longer the depressed patient with little self-care ability, and Claire was no longer the well-organized sister who could manage everything.
In the end, it was Justine who took Claire's hand and led her to the so-called "Magic Cave" built out of branches.
The news of the end of the world has been confirmed, and the biggest impact is that those who pretended that death is far away from us and that life is still very long will suddenly realize that the delicate happiness and warmth that they had originally grasped tightly are but the most beautiful. phantom.
The god of death just pulled off the veil naked and stood in front of the world.
For Justine, this is unacceptable, but it is to go to the end that he will reach sooner or later, and accept the fate he has already accepted. When everyone was thrown into this silent sea, she finally touched the world.
When we are just born, we live ignorantly and fearlessly, and we are happy every day; then when we grow up, we suddenly have the concept of death, then we are worried and we are not happy; then when we grow up a little, we learn To pretend like everyone else that death is far away from us and live our own life seriously.
Until one day, the lies we made up to deceive ourselves and others were exposed at once, so we panicked and we were sad.
Melancholy is a silent sea, the surface of which is the lie about death and extinction made up by generations of human beings. There is no right or wrong in Justine's or Claire's way of life, the film just quietly peels back the layers of disguise we put on until it shows the truest human panic and indifference in the face of death.
So, just live as you should, even if you can't escape the fate of destruction in the end, at least in this life, your life must be good enough.
2012 is approaching, and there is no indication that if the world is truly destroyed, I will be able to ride the Ark to avoid the fate of destruction.
So if the end comes, let us find a beautiful place, or at the seaside, watching the monstrous waves swallow up the last warm sunset in the world; or in the countryside, watching the flying dust cover the last golden wheat wave in the world.
