sad, human life

I got up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night and watched HBO's "RUnning With Scissors" on the big TV. First, I glanced at the book, and secondly, the beard had recommended it. I didn't have time to put it in class, and now I have the opportunity to make it up~

Worship Annette Bening, this woman is too good, whether it is the poet here or the wife in "American Beauty", she is born with the ability to play a neurotic woman. A woman who ruins her family, ruins her health, ruins her wealth, ruins her normal sexuality, ruins everything that can be ruined around her, for the sake of her dream of being a poet, seems to be Annette Bening.

There are many touching little plots in the film, and I still can't forget it. The old wife who endured all day long beside the psychiatrist with a neuropathy, her eyes were dull and submissive, but she would silently buy a beauty book for the boy that could help him realize his dream, and would take it out for several years at the last moment. The savings are given away; the little daughter who cannot read because of the psychiatrist's father, who pretends to be rebellious but sheds such sincere but helpless tears when the boy proposes to go away Son, the struggle when lifting the scissors, the bitterness when leaving in the car; the alcoholic husband who was helpless with his wife, the anger that exploded when facing the psychiatrist; the pain and heartache that made me feel sober in the dark night

. Knowing whether Deirdre's actions are ruined, she just does what a poet seems to do, or more simply does what a person who pursues a dream can do, but ruins everything silently. Who do I sympathize with? Is her son her husband? Or her? Who do you hate? Is her son her husband? Or her? Of course there are people who must be hated! Neuropsychiatrist! A dream chaser who may have been normal, he turned into a monster that everyone shouted and beat. But it may be interesting here. The author writes about the psychiatrist as a character who has psychological problems.

But then again, did the psychiatrist turn Deirdre into this? Maybe only Deirdre himself knew. As a child, I admit that I didn't want to have a mother like Deirdre, but when I listen to Deirdre, who has lost everything, still chanting the poetic sentence "they need the disinfection of the night", the tears can't help but stay , what kind of grief and happiness is this

sad, the life of man
