about the meaning of existence

The movie that I accidentally opened made me watch the movie and think for two hours. The reason I was so fascinated was, admittedly, that I wanted to find out from their conversations. I believe that many people have also thought about the meaning of life. The result of the movie is regrettable. Professor Bai made Uncle Hei begin to question his beliefs based on his understanding of the nature of things. So much so that I once again doubted the meaning of my own existence. I think such a movie, if it really falls into it, will make people despair of life. A person who doesn't want to visit the same person for his dying father should be a person who is desperate about the world. Indeed, questions like the meaning of life have no answer. But for ordinary people like us. I think it is very real to quote Lao Tzu's words to explain the meaning of life: "The great way returns to the root, the root is quiet, and the quiet life returns to life."

    A world long and dry. It is very similar to [Copenhagen], but there is no plot, no core driving force, no brief and clear suspense and emotion, and even no performance, only a large piece of philosophical speculation, completely turning a drama into a movie, or in other words, the movie is purely dramatized . In any case, movies are easier to share and circulate than plays. The proposition of whether life is empty or not, I think it is meaningless in itself.

    The two old actors chatted in a room for 90 minutes, watching the performance without watching the plot
