Youth created his own anti-"Crazy Clerk"

After the typhoon, the weather became hot again, so my mood began to become irritable. I had insomnia for several days. If you still sit in front of the computer if you suffer from insomnia, you can only sit until dawn, so I am in bed. I put a large book of "The Selection of Shakespeare" on my head to help sleep. After a few years, I reread "Hamlet" and found many words that inspired me, the old Poirot who was killed by the prince. Newce taught his son to make a point, "Don't quarrel with others easily, but once the quarrel starts, let the other person know you and know you." "Neither borrow money from others nor lend money to others." His son Laatis was also thought-provoking when he taught his sister, “It’s safest to only be trembling, even if there is no temptation in front of you, youth will create its own opposition.” Since thousands of years ago, youth has always been anti-self, so we Then we created the opposition of this world. When we are old, we will suppress the opposition of young people. It seems that this is an inescapable cycle, as if the sun is rising as usual.

In the hot afternoon, I was naked, with my hands on my knees, watching "Crazy Clerk", suddenly a word jumped into my mind, absurd, why is everything so absurd? I find that all movies are absurd. If a movie shows us a kind of life, we can read the absurdity from this life. The movie is about a crazy day of a shop assistant. I used to read Chen Cun’s novel "One Day". , It already feels absurd. When we erase all the dramatic plots in our lives, what is left is the original eating and drinking Lhasa, women and children, and these days, day after day, eating and sleeping, day after day Day after day, day after day, it’s absurd to bring boredom to your eyes and exaggerate it, and it’s absurd, and like the movie, all the crazy stimuli happen to you in one day, especially when those things are not good. It is even more absurd, and what is absurd?

The protagonist of the movie has been in trouble since getting to bed together in the morning. This kind of crazy comedy often spreads from a small node to the end of life like a domino. When I went to work in a convenience store, when I arrived at the store, the keyhole of the rolling shutter was stuck with gum. In order to write a slogan, I made a smell of shoe polish all over my body. When I was selling cigarettes, an anti-smoker stood in front of the counter. Harass customers not to buy cigarettes. Fortunately, the arrival of girlfriend veronica drove the guy away. After a while, the two confessed their sexual experiences when they chatted. Dante had sex with 12 women, and his girlfriend had sex with 12 women. 36 men in the small town had a relationship, and I was the 37th. The two naturally broke up again. Then a bunch of unlucky and troublesome things happened. My friend Lundu sold cigarettes to a four-year-old. The little girl, was fined 500 US dollars, played hockey with a friend on the roof but only brought one ball. Finally, a pleasant thing happened. The ex-daughter who was thinking about it, Catherine appeared, and she was willing to continue. The whole fate, but it was a mistake between the toilet without lights and the corpse of an old man who died of excessive excitement while reading pornographic magazines in the toilet, and then became insane. In short, it was a mess. In the end, Dante did this. Everything still doesn't know who to blame.

The whole movie has never stopped is the hot and noisy rock music. It is said that Taiwanese singer Zhang Zhenyue likes this movie very much. This is in line with his style of showing half of PP at the concert. If we simplify this movie as well In fact, it is about a young man and his friends, love and work, and a bunch of messy things that happen in them. Maybe in reality it doesn’t happen within a day, but they still happen. , Since our youth years are so obscene and messy, why not change them? Dante doesn’t have the courage. He doesn’t know how to surpass life. People who can’t think about it can only continue to suffer. “What does it have to do with having sex with the dead? Didn’t my mother just fuck with the man named Dad for 30 years?” Friend Lundu He figured everything out, so his youth was reckless and innocent. We work to get money. We fall in love because we need love, or we just need sex and friendship. But when we were young, we worked. So a meager salary is not enough to live alone. When we were most energetic, we had nothing. Suddenly I remembered that Yi Shu wrote in "Xibao", "We need a lot of love. If there is no love, then there will be a lot of love. Money, if you don’t have either, it’s good to have health. "Who can we ask for?

In 1994, director Kevin Smith and his friends came together for 27,000 US dollars to shoot this 16mm black-and-white film that shined at the Sundance Film Festival. The filming location was the convenience store where he worked. Most of the story must be his own real experience. It turns out that Meng Sao’s life can also be the source of the outbreak. Dante in the movie did not dare to surpass it, but at least Kevin became the director and continued to move in the movie. Objects. My God, in 1994, I was still in elementary school, and this guy with excess hormones was making a movie.

Suddenly I realized that the original absurdity is when you work hard to do one thing but get farther and farther away from the goal. Everything comes from this uncontrollable nature. Youth creates its own opposition, and we create the opposition of life. Life has created the Creator’s opposition, and we are still in place.
