"To Wonderland"

People with social attributes have never been able to endure loneliness. In this day and age, it is even more difficult to truly enjoy inner loneliness. Let alone reading novels, playing mobile phones, or watching movies and TV alone, that means being lonely. In fact, it is just a way to relieve one's heart and seek common ground in society through other people's affairs.

Although Terrence Malick's new film, compared to "The Tree of Life", is slightly unbreakable in terms of macro and technique, it is still a good way to enjoy loneliness in a real sense. She doesn't try to impose on you and doesn't need you to project. About eternal love, pan-narratives and spaces suitable for emptying are actually enjoyable for me. Why to put understanding or not in the first place is nothing more than the contradictory ideological product of conceit and inferiority.

To the Wonder quotes

  • Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.

  • Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.
