"There are only two emotions in the world, love and fear." (Original)
Hazal and Augustus (and Gus) and these two young cancer patients around 18 years old did so
in the so-called "Werther period" Facing the violent attack of love and death with strong intuition and inconsistency.
Hazal
Hazal is regarded as the mother and doctors of depression,
in the mother's eyes Hazal:
She Eats like the Just A Bird.
She Barely Leaves at The House.
She's Reading Book at The Same, over and over
(Imperial Affiction by Van Houten)
her to dinner to eat slowly ,
She hardly goes out,
she reads the same book over and over again.
So Hazal quoted a sentence from that book:
That's the thing about pain, It demands to be felt.
Pain needs to be felt .
In my opinion, Hazal does not even have a mother's “depression”.
Perhaps it was the near-death experience at the age of thirteen, which
made Hazal feel that existence can be felt, and
even pain is worthy of perception.
But her mother took it for granted that Hazal, as a young man, should try to make herself happier and make more friends,
go out more, and even "force" Hazal to join the "mutual aid group".
This may be reasonable for a healthy young man,
but for a person like Hazal, who is “like a terminal cancer,” is so close to the god of death,
not only physically,
but also psychologically impossible.
So she
perceives the world as a bystander in a calm and steady way,
keeping a distance from the outside world.
So there is Hazal's irony of her mother's anxiety:
if you want me to be a young man,
don't send me to the mutual aid group.
Buying a fake identity for me didn't let me
go to the nightclub, drink vodka, and smoke dama. (Hey)
This reminds me of "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". It
is true that in many cases,
pain can make you more aware of existence.
Hazal can't get the happiness that young people instinctively get
because she is too close to death, so
close that she has already seen the pain behind life.
The author of Augustus (Gus) is quite joking in his name.
Augustus is the nephew of the Roman Emperor Caesar,
symbolizing the divine imperial power, with a brave and fearless heroism.
This corresponds to Gus's sunny, cheerful, and humorous image at the beginning,
and even played in front of Hazal a metaphor that shocked her,
"hold a cigarette in your mouth, but don't give it the power to light it."
-Put dangerous things between his lips, but don't give him deadly power.
In an instant, he was amused by Gus in a way of pardoning something in control (something in control!).
Like a little boy fantasizing about being omnipotent.
So in his heart there is a desire to be remembered, (this is also the source of his fear),
shining like an Augustus hero and being admired and remembered.
However, these are impossible to achieve,
even in the face of cancer, Gus seems so optimistic, fearless, and does not care so much.
But at the first meeting, Hazal directly broke through the cruel reality:
"One day we will all die.
Since there are humans in the previous years, there will be the years after the disappearance of humans.
Maybe it will be tomorrow, maybe it will be. Millions of years later.
When that day comes, no one will be alive to commemorate Cleopatra, Ali or Mozart...
let alone us,
being forgotten is inevitable,
if forgetting You are afraid, then I suggest you ignore it.
God knows what everyone does.” (The original is better written)
Destruction and forgetting are such easy and natural things.
This brought great fear to Augustus, who wanted to create brilliance, but whose life was shortened.
He was afraid that he would suddenly disappear like that one day, no one remembered like dust, and nothing was left.
Unfortunately, Gus became the 20% relapsed person.
Even before that you think you will be more brave and more tragic,
that moment of pain come true,
Gus still conceal his sobbing like a child, despair, like
in front of you like a man who sowed the point of temper
"I want to do for myself What, (you know by myself)
I just want to buy a pack of cigarettes by myself ... I hate that I (can't do anything)
turned over the original version of
Gus 's letter to Van at the end of the original book. Gus was also proud from the original When faced with death
, we had no choice but to give in. "We are like a group of dogs peeing on a fire hydrant.
We use toxic urine to pollute the groundwater in a
ridiculous attempt to survive after death,
so we mark everything as "mine".
I can't stop peeing on one fire hydrant after another.
I know this is stupid and useless—especially in my current state, which is vigorously useless
—but I am an animal, no different from other animals. (Translated by Lu Ning)
The love
background of the two people perfectly fits the bitter feeling routine we see that we must be immune to it,
but I cannot deny that this is definitely a green lotus in the bitter love movie,
at least many of the little philosophies and The chicken soup made this movie at least an upgraded version of Bitter Love Drama 2.0, which
made me watch a bit live in.
The appearance of Gus made Hazal love.
According to Freud's theory, this "instinct of life" (erotic desire) makes
Hazal feel nostalgic for the time with Gus because of the time constraints of death .
This does not prevent Hazal and Gus from pursuing love.
In Hazal's letter to Gus, there is a little philosophy,
"There are countless numbers between 0 and 1, 0.1, 0.12, 0.112...and infinitely many other numbers. collection.
of course there are bigger unlimited number between 0-2 collection ......
there between 0-1000000 there are many,
some more than others infinite set of collections unlimited ......
I I want more numbers, more than I can get,
I hope Augustus can live longer,
but Gus, I can’t express meeting you, there is such a small infinite collection...
I am so grateful to God,
You have
given me unlimited love in a limited number of days ."
(Hey, if someone can confess to you like this, give you tears in a basin?)
Later, Hazal reminded Gus who was afraid of being forgotten.
You have family, friends, and I can remember you. Why are you afraid of being forgotten?
(Think of the song in those years: I once wanted to conquer the world, but when I look back at the end, I realized that the world is all you, every bit.)
As a realistic and even a bit angry adult, Van Houten
came up with a blow to Hazal:
there is no so-called ending and answer, and
I will not repeat another ending just because someone of you is naive.
Like the problem of "chasing the tortoise", "it just happen" some things happen,
but if you really ask "how" why it is so complicated that it is difficult to explain.
Sometimes life appears like that, and
sometimes life passes
like that. If you want to find a reason for the second,
it is more complicated than that problem and there is no way to explain it.
According to the original author, Van is a metaphor for God.
Van later wanted to explain why he didn't write the ending with the "car track problem".
He could choose an ending with Anna to appease the terminally ill people like Hazal and Augustus,
but he didn't need to decide the fate of Annna.
Translator postscript gives the reasons for questioning Van Hazal, and
she is not afraid of death,
but fear that they will hurt as parents and Gus around like a bomb
, "You will not have their own life,
all day I can not sit there and take care of,
stare I want to commit suicide along the walls."
So he wanted to ask what happened to Van anyway.
Van denies meaning and eternity because of his daughter's death, and
uses cruel reality to fight against Hazal who supports his life with meaning,
so Hazal did not want to listen to his explanation later.
Later, Gus wrote him in a letter saying
that he was a "a shitty person but a good writer".
I think he is a "good god".
He has the right to decide the fate of his characters, but he doesn't.
The end of the
story is actually whether it is Van because of the death of his daughter,
or Hazal experienced the death of Gus,
since the ending they think is a bit similar.
Van said that the ending of the novel is
"Omnis cellula e cellula, Life comes from life".
Everything is produced by cells, and life comes from life.
And when Hazal confessed his fears to his parents, he
understood that even if she was gone,
life would continue, the
universe would continue to revolve, and
life would continue to reincarnate.
What's interesting is that the answer they came to was the opposite.
Hazal felt it made sense, while Van felt it was meaningless.
In fact, if you want to say that it is meaningful, it is meaningful, and if it is meaningless, it is meaningless.
Weber's famous saying: Man is an animal hanging on a web of self-woven meanings.
There is no meaning and there is meaningless meaning, and there is meaning and meaningless meaning.
Van feels that her daughter is dead, and her
life comes to an abrupt end.
Without any carrier,
there is nothing for her daughter, and
it is meaningless,
just like Anna in the book is fictional, without paper, she doesn't count anything.
And Hazal feels that with the continuous cycle of life,
love can have a carrier to be passed on.
The love between her and Gus is meaningful.
Countless people
have created infinite possibilities through a short life .
I feel everyone is right.
Because at least,
both of them still existed,
they used their lives to feel the love and pain,
and they each came up with their own answers.
First of all thank you, people who can see here!
Here add, a lot of people do not understand the name The fault of our star Our Stars mistake
by Shakespeare in Julius Caesar
at The Fault, Dear Brutus, not IS Our Stars.
But in Ourselves, that WE are underling
Star Games just about The Chinese say the fate is similar, they believe in constellations.
The Chinese version of the novel has been translated into "The Incomparably Wonderful Pain".
Some people say that the translation is not good, and it feels very difficult for the translator.
Recently, the Three Lives III Shili Peach Blossoms is very hot.
How do you say you should translate it to foreigners?
PS Is this the first time the author writes a film review after liberation? (It doesn't count, it feels like an afterthought) So commemorate it, and hope to keep updating it in the future. I believe that a point of view, whether it is works of art, literature, music, movies... In addition to its own beauty and inspiration, I also hope that they can see themselves and the public like a mirror, and I will try not to go. Analyze the method of the movie or something (I don’t have that level). I will return to being a person who doesn't know much about movies (initially) and intuitively what movies have passed to me and what reminds me. So a lot of it may not come from the movie, but the things that come out of my own thoughts come out. But I hope that through another angle, it can help you understand and feel the movie better.
By the way, the soundtrack of this movie is too conscientious. Ed, birdy, Er Dezi and others have come to help out, and I recommend it to listen to it!
