The Life Philosophy of "Guaijia"

When watching a movie, I was struggling with a question, can't Napoleon's mouth be closed for a moment? Although this is not the point. However, it is this small detail that makes me feel "weird" towards Napoleon.
But I think that for the director, for the audience, for "Napoleon" himself, the mouth that never closes is really important. This is not only the distinctive appearance, but also one of the director's ingenious shooting spots.
Napoleon was a frustration, everyone thinks so. The untimely and weird behavior made Napoleon seem so uncomfortable, but Napoleon seemed to lack something called self-knowledge. When everyone wanted to quickly become gregarious, become one, and become so-called popular, Napoleon But he was not moved. However, it is such a small person who has his own perseverance.
The movie is a little dull, and the highlight comes from the wonderful dance at the election meeting. At the end, Napoleon continued to play pinwheel ball alone in the playground, and then Debbie joined him. Business as usual, Napoleon is still the same Napoleon.
This may be what the film wants to tell us-the "weijia" philosophy of life.
We are born free and undefended, but after participating in social activities, starting from kindergarten, we gradually understand that we should be in a group. We are anxious about those different traits, and we are afraid of being isolated. In fact, our hearts are not strong enough. We even deliberately change ourselves for the sake of being in a group. This change looks sad, but helpless.
Isn't it a man? To put it bluntly, he will only live his life, not living for himself, for whom?
Maybe not as bad as you think, if you are really different from others. Even if you don't have the ability to change society, at least you can live out yourself within a limited range. Sometimes, you can live out a different splendor with different frequencies and steps, instead of the so-called same mask.
This movie is the favorite movie of teachers of sociology. He said that every time you watch this movie, you can get a lot of power from it. Especially when I heard the phrase "I do what I think I should do." The line did give me a little touch, but for me, it is more like a psychological suggestion that requires continuous self-supply of bravery and decisiveness.
"The Great Napoleon" is an autobiography, but it is also like a utopia, which can heal and heal the wounds. Sometimes we want such an illusion to sink into it and escape reality. Facing the bloody facts and making meager resistance to unfamiliar things within the scope of one's own ability, such simple things are not easy to do. For most ordinary people, it is not a good thing to see too thoroughly, because they cannot solve the problem and make themselves uncomfortable. And everyone always has something they care about, that is the weakness of the self.
In this society, without special features, it is difficult for ordinary people to live comfortably and comfortably. We are too afraid of becoming "alien", even if we know that living out of ourselves is not as bad as we think, expressing bravely may really be able to reap something different.
Whether we are struggling or finding a way out, one day we will be flattened by this society and become sleek and sophisticated. It’s not a bad thing, because we need to live, we need to live a good life.
In any case, I want to keep a position in my heart that has not been changed, a place for myself, so that I will not get lost. Even if it is the life philosophy of "Kaijia", a strong self is stronger than anything else.
