Neverland

To really love a woman
To understand her-you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought-see every dream N'give
her wings-when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a

The name of the woman song is: Have you ever really loved a woman, Don Juan's theme song. Recently, I watched two films of Johnny Depp, Don Juan and Looking for Neverland. It has to be said: The mule is such a good thing.

Johnny Depp is not outstanding in acting, he is very suitable and only suitable for one role: the sleepwalker in the urban jungle. From Edward Scissorhands to passionate chocolate and searching for Neverland, he seems to have always been the person from Neverland, wandering to the edge of the world in his own way, and therefore has a strong attraction to people in this world. Regrettably, including the latest "Looking for Neverland", none of the films I saw afterwards gave me the same shock as Edward Scissorhands. Like Peter Pan who refused to grow up, he stubbornly refused others. The way of expressing yourself. That kind of rebellion is a betrayal with a sense of security, ready to compromise with the world at any time, like coffee mixed with whiskey, although it is a little exciting, it still carries the lingering creamy aroma under neon lights and in cafes. .

Movies are dream factories. But who is dreaming? Hollywood does not have neverland, it only has money, fame, and box office. From this perspective, Finding Neverland is almost a Mission Impossible. I don't think Depp can win the Oscar with it. In my heart, I still miss the scissors hand with a pale sad face. Jesus said: Those who want to do good deeds knock at the door; those who love others, the door is open. For Edward, the door of Neverland was open; and the playwright was just a futile knocker.

At this point, I suddenly had an idea, similar to the idea of ​​a besieged city. For the people in Neverland, is this world also another edge they long for? Living in dreams and living in reality, in the final analysis, are you looking for the same thing and feel a little short of it?

It's better to listen to the song, the song is still very nice, similar to what Marlon Brando said, the incorrigible romance. Have you ever really loved? As sung in the song, whether a man or a woman, the answer may be no. If there is such a person who understands all my thoughts and sees all my dreams, I will probably feel creepy rather than happy. In the realm of reason, free thought is always something higher than love.

Everything is in a loop, returning to an original proposition constantly, close infinitely but never reachable. Whether it is called love or dream, it is always a neverland. Unlike Don Juan, in my opinion, love is just a way for us to approach it, not Neverland itself. In fact, to love a person does not necessarily have to love her soul.
