In the movie, Cool is to be noticed and discussed. To become Cool, you can score points in intercollegiate football games, hold a grand party, drive a sports car that blinds others, and socialize with the hottest girls in the school. , Thomas III thinks that the cheapest and easiest to achieve is to hold a party of 50+ people who can have a fuck bitch with alcohol and marijuana. Of course, judging from the results, the cost of this thing is not low at all.
According to Maslow's needs theory - physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem needs, self-actualization five-level division, being cool can be seen as a certain degree of realization of esteem needs, of course, it also depends on being Whoever respects, for a high school student, his classmates are the vast majority of the world, and parents, teachers and police live on another planet.
The first principle of self-discipline is mentioned in "The Road Few People Walk": delaying pleasure and advocating that we move our present happiness to a later stage, and realizing the future happiness in advance is an outright suicidal act. In fact, it’s a matter of outlook on life—to endure the pain of the present for the sake of possible future happiness, or to endure possible future pain for the sake of present happiness? In economics, money has time value, and similarly, happiness has time value. Generally speaking, present happiness is more valuable than future happiness, and there is a contrast between present happiness and future happiness. The key is the "discount rate". As long as it is not "exaggerated discounting", instant pleasure is not a kind of wisdom, and too far-sightedness is also a kind of greed.
In this movie, Thomas and the three of them are "exaggerating discounts"-maybe reposting the rest of their lives.
But it's not all the fault of Thomas, Costa, JB, the three unfortunate children, they don't know what they are doing, especially when several unexpected factors are added, these catalysts are too violent and turn the combustion into an explosion:
First, Costa The propaganda is too broad and too big to make things out of nothing - there was no party at all, but everyone thought there was a big party, so everyone came and there was a big party, but as Mr. Lu Xun said, "There is no way in the world, people who walk There are more, and it becomes a road.” The difference seems to be.
Secondly, due to personal preference, the crowd is snowballing, and they actually hired two 12-year-olds as security guards to screen the crowd. This restriction not only did not reduce the number of people, but increased the party because it was not easy to enter. The social status of the club makes people flock to it, and it is for this reason that it is the most important for nightclubs to hire security guards.
Then, the small pills stolen from the T-Rick statue became arrogant. If it was just alcohol and marijuana, the party would be nothing more than dancing and having sex. After everyone ate hallucinogens, the situation was completely out of control, and the overexcited young men and women smashed them The police car fights the police and riots. In the
end, T-Rick, whose small pills were stolen, came to seek revenge with a flamethrower on his back. The house was burned and the car was also burned. Gas and the mounted police began to appear, and it almost became a murder.
To this stage, the three stupid children of Thomas, Costa and JB are in a double world. The disadvantage is that they are facing a lawsuit, debt and academic crisis, and it may affect their future life. The advantage is that They have become legends. As Moe Luzawa said, "Everyone has a moment of brilliance, and the long days after that will only exist to reminisce that moment of brilliance." There will never be a more shining moment.
Is it worth the cost?
If it's a teenager, I think it's worth it. Teenagers have the right to make mistakes, take risks and get hit in the head and blood, is it miserable? awful! Does it hurt? pain! But expanding their life experience and boundaries, this experience is still unique, and they should be able to learn a lot.
If they can still bear their own responsibilities, it will be a surprise. If you gamble, you will lose. If you can't afford to lose, don't play. If you can afford to lose, let him go.
