Conscientiousness is terrible curse. I think, I feel, I suffer.
(It’s lucky to be a monkey all the time, because) Human consciousness is a terrible curse. I think, I feel, I suffer.
Craig at this moment is just an obscurity, A poor puppeteer, in his eyes, he himself has the same talent and dexterity as Drey Martin, but Martin can attract the attention of the public with a little trick, and he can only nest with a gorilla. Watching TV on the sofa. He wished he hadn't encountered all of this, or hadn't noticed it, even if he had noticed it, as long as he didn't think about it, he wouldn't have pain.
But is this really the case? I just think it's human. Conscientiousness is the most precious wealth of mankind. As John Mueller said: The unsatisfied man is happier than the satisfied pig, and the dissatisfied Socrates is happier than the satisfied fool. Life is full of suffering and torture. If you don’t have any thoughts or feelings about your life situation, but just follow and submit to him, what is the difference from the walking dead? Human beings want to constantly change and advance by relying on their unique consciousness. to break through the so-called "destiny" in shackles and "doomed" in prison. but unfortunately, although because the human consciousness can feel them, but some people make a move to try to change, others just grin and bear it.
n the show inside the other like a classic lines like: the world is divided into those who ask for what they want, and those who do not.
the world is divided into two people, one people strive for their love, and another On the contrary. The
former is full of vitality and passion, and there is no regret even if you die, and the latter, hehe, nobody cares.
Craig and Lotte are two opposites (another metaphor in the movie). Craig is melancholy and frustrated because he feels that puppets cannot bring him fame and money, and when Craig becomes Malkovich and uses this body fame and fortune He really felt happy and successful when Shuang Shou and the beauty returned. It can be seen that he is not a real puppet career, not as a goal he wants to pursue in his life, but just a prop and a means of transportation on the road to success. Lotte On the contrary, although she lived a poor life with Craig, she had no complaints, and she still loved her pets and her children wholeheartedly. After she invited Maxine to their home for dinner, Lotte talked to Maxine The heartache and pity on her face of her gorilla child is real, and Craig said, "I will take you to my puppet show," but it shows a kind of self-lost flattery.
There are too many people in the real world . Trended by mainstream values, they only have reputation, money and status in their eyes. They are lost, utilitarian and selfish. They don't know what love is, even if they know, they would rather choose to bow to reality and be willing to be an ant instead of giving up what you love. But if a person even gives up the right to pursue what he loves, what happiness is there to speak of? It's better to be a gorilla and feel more relaxed.
The two ironies in the movie can't help but make people amazing.
One. Seven The secretary of the floor, Floris, and Craig's employer, Dr.Lester
Floris, are actually a person with language impairments. She can't recognize words spoken by others, and she can't pronounce the correct pronunciation. But she got a PhD in language impairment, and Dr. Lester is a complete one. People who are completely healthy and normal have always thought that they have a language barrier, and I am very grateful to Foloris for his endurance and understanding. Look, how absurd, and life is like this, sometimes you are not wrong, it is the world that is wrong, but because You are different and you are wrong. Gradually, you believe that you are wrong and give up your initial insistence. If you don't believe in yourself, you will eventually be swallowed by this absurd world.
2. The real actor John Malkovich and the character John Malkovich in the play
John Malkovich is the only person in the play who uses his real name to perform, and he is the most unreal person in the whole show. Sometimes he is Craig, sometimes Lotte, sometimes Dr. Lester is sometimes a sad fat man but just not He himself. Even when John Malkovich appeared for the first time, he was mistaken for another person by the driver in the taxi. It's ridiculous and sad, what on earth is a person himself? In your own heart, you have this and that kind of reluctance to have to, So you go against your heart, your true thoughts, you are bound by those rules, and you are swayed by those ropes; for society, you can't even ensure that people around you will not confuse you with anyone. Why are you? You!! Why do you become a unique you?
Finally, in my opinion, Lotte is the center of this show. She is completely an existence that transcends gender, name, and body. Lotte is a combination of passion and tenderness. She loves his animal children, she loves Maxine, she loves the feeling of being a male, she pursues everything she loves, she is an independent person, she is her. In
the end, I love this show~
