All the gloom and sadness about you

After reading Nocturnal Animals, I have a lot of emotions that I want to write about. But it's hard to write. Let's talk about love first. This movie made me feel the immortality of love and the fact that love can come to an abrupt end. These two points seem contradictory. If love can come to an abrupt end, why is it immortal? What exactly is love? When you express your love for someone, and you have a place in your heart for him, can you dedicate the "precious" that only you know that you have concealed in your heart for the longest time? "Nocturnal Animals" tells a story within a set, as if it were a horror murder, and it seemed to be a tribute to love. The opening scene caught my eye. The so-called beauty of art lies in its borderless challenge to some conventions, right? After reading it, I started to ask myself, what did I watch? There are many forms of love, Tom Ford expressed his own opinion - we inevitably fall into vulgarity, we try our best to break free from some secular and social concepts, but eventually we will be counterattacked. It's like the mother of the female pig's feet in the movie, warning her not to marry someone whose social class and status are too different from her own, because "you are too similar to me, you will eventually become me." So love is between two people. The heart sprouts, bursts, blooms, and then fades away. But all this will leave evidence, evidence of love, which will be presented in various ways over the years, helping people piece together the immortality of love. The ex-husband of the female pig's feet in "Nocturnal Animals" chose to write a book to commemorate his mental journey over the years, but the story of this book is like a mirage. Women, with heavy makeup and high-heeled shoes that rise above the sky, can go without food or drink for several months, and use their wages to buy a brand-name bag and gorgeous clothes. Do you think these are all "women who please themselves"? Tom Ford is indeed a fashion designer of soul. In "Nocturnal Animals", he revealed the ultimate meaning of women doing these flashy things-everything is my armor and battle clothes, how cruel the world is, how strong I need to be Makeup and precious clothes to protect yourself, always fight. Like Susan, the female pig's foot in "Nocturnal Animals", a woman who grew up in a traditionally wealthy family in New York, graduated from Yale, and studied art. We expect her mind to be as broad and free as the knowledge she has, which is obviously impossible. . Because the earth is round, we need gravity, and to live, we must be affected by invisible social rules. Susan tried to jump out, but she could never jump out. In this way, she reluctantly said goodbye to the man who had the ideal of a writer in his heart and whose smile made people forget his sorrow. She thought that the decision 19 years ago was her farewell to love until she received the man, oh, no. , her ex-husband sent To Susan's latest writing manuscript, and taking advantage of the star-like lights, she had an epiphany - maybe, the farewell of love that she thought was not stopped. This is a heartbreaking story. An American man drove his wife and daughter on a night road. He was accidentally targeted by a hooligan. He was shocked all night, and the next day he saw his wife and daughter's naked and broken bodies. Susan recalled her ex-husband's insistence - I like to write my own stories, don't all good writers reflect themselves in words? As a moviegoer, I inevitably wonder if this gentle ex-husband who has never met, has really experienced everything described in his novel? He was once accused by Susan of being so fragile, and the word ambition is separated by a galaxy. In 19 years, will it change him? Along with Susan's reading process, we also saw the ending of the story. The hero in the ex-husband's story went after his wife and daughter. This may be the best expression of the love he can give, right? Susan also seemed to receive a message, thinking of the sweet time in New York and the memories of her ex-husband. I guess, they must have talked about F. Scott Fitzgerald's deep nostalgia for Daisy must have thought about Rodin's selfishness in love, and he must have visited the Metropolitan Museum countless times together to explore each other's boundaries. These induced her to look forward to him 19 years later, so she asked to meet. Susan thought that the best expression of her ex-husband's love was to turn love into handed down words, and she received this message wisely. And the best sacrifice she can offer for this love is her true self. So at that moment, she wiped off the expensive lipstick on the corner of her mouth, and the shade of eyeshadow was no longer important to her. She wanted to give him the truth of being late, even though she was full of the appearance of a former mother. At this point, I still don't understand what emotions "Nocturnal Animals" made me feel, because of the lack of words, I can't find words to match them. So I think it's a good movie. It's good that people can't figure out its purpose and can't stop to explore it. It also reminds me of the loneliness I feel when I stand in front of the glass window and watch the busy traffic. Susan has been waiting for the person she loves to come at any time, but all time is a limited unknown.
