The look of the whole film always reminds me of "The End of the Wild Flower". One is the lens language of a large number of road films, and the other is to emphasize the systemic humanity of the entire society, such as the domestic violence professor and stepdad. And the second stepdad who works in prison. And the father of the prodigal son Tianya, although unable to pay the bills for a long time, and therefore unable to get along with his mother who is looking forward to a normal life, he is the lifelong dream of the male protagonist.
The Mexican worker who repaired water pipes to his mother in the middle became the owner of a restaurant many years later. He said that this was because his mother said casually: "Why don't you go to a community college to study, learn English, and you will have a good job." It was a successful life, but at this time, my mother showed a very painful expression in the restaurant. I think that maybe the director casts his inner struggle with life into the role of a mother. In his youth, he became a misstep mother in everyone’s eyes, leading the child to live in distress; for a better life, he returned to university. , Later married a professor, as everyone hoped, but suffered domestic violence from her husband and rolled in the garage. Therefore, it is extremely painful to see that plumbers can obtain a better life in everyone's eyes by reading books like themselves, because if they do not follow the expectations of the society, they cannot get a better life. But what about that?
Society has been alienating people at an accelerated pace two centuries ago, leaving people with constant pain in their hearts. After that, they began to search for the meaning of life, which became the belief that supports one's life. However, how many of the two stepfathers who suffered a midlife crisis chose domestic violence by themselves? Everyone is looking for Boyhood in their hearts, but how many people can do what they want to maintain Boyhood while still enjoying themselves in this society? Just like what the high school photography teacher said in the dark room, you think you have natural talent, but you are more talented than you, and there are more people who work harder than you. Don’t waste time here and learn the science you should learn. . The rationalism that began in the era of the Enlightenment has made literary youths become a subculture of society, but perhaps, the literary youth, who were originally dios, should have been subcultures in this proliferated society.
The German translation of the last sentence of the movie is quite vivid, because the moment is translated into Ausblick, which is the scenery you look out of. I think this is it. What supports us to live is only the definition of meaning in the moment of psychological activity in this moment; that is, to live in the moment.
