People must be afraid of loneliness

Lance and Alvin are two different types of people. Actually, I think Lance is better.

Alvin didn't choose the job because he liked to enjoy being alone. He loves Madison, to a large extent the Madison he fantasizes about when he's alone, standing on the ruins pretending it's his home and his family living in harmony. But it's possible that actually wasn't the case when living with Madison. It seemed that Madison had a child with her ex-boyfriend, a relationship that was really difficult for Alvin to handle. Through the dialogue with the old lady Lance and the truck driver, it can be seen that Alvin has no anti-social personality, and he has no problem with people. After they broke up, there is no spiritual sustenance, and he is no longer willing to be alone, which shows that he does not enjoy loneliness by himself. When he advised Lance about his 47-year-old girlfriend's pregnancy, he said it was a miracle and you don't need to be ready. In fact, he just said this big truth. From his own point of view, being with Madison is also a miracle. The husband and wife just need to get along slowly, and he doesn't need to spend so much time alone to think about his relationship with Madison. Of course, he also made some progress at the end of the film. He has always disdain Lance for picking girls around, but in the end, he is also ready to go to the beauty pageant to start a new life.

As for Lance, the choice is in conflict with life's head-on collision. He doesn't seem to understand the truth. He robs other people's girlfriends, steals Alvin's money, and wants to throw away the child conceived by a one-night stand, but in the main line of his life, he can do it. The right decision (of course, to some extent Alvin gave him some pointers). It can be seen from the little things that when Alvin has a bad temper, he will scold back, but he does not hate him from the bottom of his heart and beat him and break the watch (after all, it is also bought with Alvin's money). People should be like this, don't act calm and graceful and understand the big truth, because from a physiological point of view, people will be angry and afraid of loneliness.

This film is covered in the shell of a literary film, reflecting the practical problems of many people's choices in life today. Whether you should be with someone or get married when you are so sweet, and whether you should break up when you are so painful. Don't be bound by rules, choose what you really want. Not to mention Alvin at the beginning, hesitating and escaping, people must be afraid of loneliness.

Prince Avalanche quotes

  • Lance: So when you say something negative and insult the other person... You're really just showing that other person what an unsure-of-yourself-type person that you really feel like you are.

  • Alvin: I was running, and then I reached the cliff, and all I know is I wanted to either fly or kill myself.
