American Chicken Soup Master (not meant to be derogatory but really reads like chicken soup) Emerson wrote about Self-Reliance a hundred years ago, and the first half of the film has a lot of talk about how to live a self-sufficient life There is a huge contrast between the content and the return to modern society. The section at the dinner table at my sister's house is very interesting. The hostess begins by proudly introducing that the food on the table is organic, non-GMO, and locally produced. She apparently understood his brother's lifestyle as a follower of the local and organic food movement (a trend of eating organic food, locally produced food, some people call it "movement"), and specially ordered this kind of strict standard. Dinner that night. This may be a satire on the lack of imagination of the American stable middle class about the way of life. The most "progressive" lifestyle she could think of was still a way of consumption, and deeply rooted in class: organic, local, expensive.
I've always liked to over-analyze what movies and books mean to my life lately. If you don't think of this film as a distant "utopian" fantasy with a happy ending, but a discussion about how to view and deal with the fuckedupness of human social life, it is actually very practical. When I was a half-baked student and read some books and theories that I could not understand, I would easily find that life is full of fuckedupness, and I would feel powerless and painful because of this discovery. Everyone probably has the urge to let go of everything and fly away, but in fact nothing is really far away. In the end, you have to be intertwined with the fate of human society and other people. Just as there is no theory that can explain everything, there is no one way of life that perfectly solves problems at every level. Critique is cool, but it's not enough to just talk and practice. In the end, we all have to live concretely. We are constantly looking, using our imaginations, to find solace and freedom for ourselves (sustainably).
Why do my children feel friendly? Because I get older, I look like some of my nerdy classmates, who firmly believe that they represent the correct, more civilized and better values, but they are not very able to "face up to the dripping blood and bleak life". Feeling at a loss in the world. . .
At the end, I am quite dissatisfied, the small fresh picture of life in soft light and slow motion. As if seeking and confrontation ceased to exist. Shouldn't the conflict erupt after the child goes to school? Aren't they disillusioned and feel that their classmates are all brainwashed idiots? Won't they be treated as brainwashed freaks by all the kids and bullied en masse? And the eldest son's act of roaming the world with a single finger, which is very deliberate compared to their powerful forest life. So the conflict and complexity that accumulated before the final film was deflated.
In fact, there are still many angles that can be explored, but I am not very good at writing. . For example, until the hospital three months ago, how did Leslie and Ben split up in caring for and educating their children? There's also a lot to say about Leslie's illness. There is a lot to be said about educating children. What exactly is protecting children, and to what extent should children be told the "truth"? I feel that I can't bear the truth of many worlds... and I'll talk about it later when I have a chance. I really like the sex education that dads give to their children. Especially the last part I said to my eldest son, it feels very much like what Uncle V would say.
Anyway, it's worth watching for Uncle V's affectionate expression!
To some extent, the interpretation of the true character.
Esquire Magazine has a nice write up of an interview with him. The reporter asked him, has anyone hurt your heart? He took a deep breath and said: Many, many times.
"He seems to do a lot for women, and his poetry, raw and intense, is filled with heartache. Has he had his heart broken?" Many, many times, "he says, taking a long drag of his cigarette."
