When Tommy met Dick, he found that everything about Dick was everything he wanted in the process of walking with him. And this kind of expectation hides low self-esteem to some extent. And this hope becomes the psychology of the other party, transforming into a kind of love. And every kind of love can be boiled down to loving oneself. He loves Dick only because he wants to be someone like Dick. Don't worry about money, live happily, chase jazz, chase sex, chase all the pleasures of life. He may also know that Gao Fushuai is equally painful. But under the light of Gao Fushuai, these pains seem so advanced.
Tommy is constantly imitating Dick, and all this allows him to reach the self in his heart. He hopes to get the affection and respect of the other party. But the reality is so fragile. Even if he is trying hard to imitate, he will not become rich and handsome. But at the moment of being short, poor and ugly, I felt even more sad. He was trying to cater to friends who wanted to be rich and handsome as equals, but he was ultimately no match for Gao Fushuai's sentence: "You are just one of my dogs (sucking leech)."
After killing Dick by mistake on the boat, Tommy simply became Dick. He has an excellent talent, not only can imitate people's speech, but also imitate signatures vividly. But you know, tell a lie, you have to pay for the lie. Unless Dick is an otaku, how can you deal with his lover and friends? In the process of imitating, I found that the happiness of being rich and handsome is so short-lived. Because diaosi is only diaosi after all, no matter how you learn like it, it is only diaosi. In the process of becoming someone else, the pain caused by the fear of the past and the loss of oneself cannot replace the happiness brought by money and status. You can only avoid the desire to be yourself in the painful process of facing reality again and again.
The final dramatic ending also shows that Tommy may be able to escape the sanctions of murder like a genius, but he cannot escape the condemnation in his heart. For a person who can keenly perceive inner pain, perhaps being alive is the greatest punishment.
Finally, a few digressions, the world itself is not fair. Some people claim to be geniuses, but find that they are not as good as the wealthy and handsome men who do nothing. Maybe when you were still in school gnawing hard, you found that you were rich and handsome and traveled around the world, learned a few foreign languages, and was so happy. We live in different life trajectories, but it does not mean that we will not be happy. Gao Fushuai will also have pain, of course these pains are so high-level. Public opinion is always full of prejudice, and Gao Fushuai always shines with light. Gao Fushuai can be very depraved, and then the prodigal son looks back. Public opinion always gives applause. I don't know the difference between this kind of blind love and hatred for wealth. In fact, Diosi’s pain lies in the fact that she can’t get rid of the prejudices of others in any way. But how do you know that tall, rich and handsome do not envy short, poor and ugly? He can also see hypocrisy and perceive pain. Jealousy, such so-called negative feelings, is not necessarily a bad thing. Of course this is not a dialectical statement. It is because of emotion that people realize that they are still alive. Don't be blinded by pain, chasing happiness alone cannot replace happiness.
Poor Jude Law is so handsome and acting so well, but he is still said to be a vase. Is this damn fair?
