why are you dying?

Ford 2022-03-21 09:02:58

I might have liked this movie three or four years ago.

A sense of superiority from watching a movie;

Sober and indifferent self-gazing;

Subtle feedback and smarter scrutiny from a third perspective.

Seemingly casual daily conversations may be suddenly profound.

Behold the stubborn and high-ranking soul unwilling to fall into the world

As if seeing his small figure projecting a huge resonance

Humans are lonely and too aloof

Great writers worry almost nervously about the worldly appearance they will be portrayed as.

Work hard, try not to fall into a trap, and try not to be "them".

Does he not know that the self is the abyss.

And the abyss, can't stare for too long.

Because it doesn't make sense.

Yes, I mean the ego has no meaning.

If he realizes that people are mortal

he will die

The interview brother will die

Passionately accompany will die

Two cute female friends will die

And his only value in existence is

In the brief moment when people meet in the world

In the warm sunshine in that afternoon or in that gray morning

Because of him, there is a little more light

make that moment beautiful

Let every brief encounter in the world be beautiful

make the world beautiful,

How hard he has to work.

Don't rush to the front that will eventually come,

he might be more positive

Maybe be gentle

Maybe worry less

Maybe kiss the girl who peeked at him in the darkness of the movie theater.

create beauty

never easy

no one is more lonely than anyone else

Since that's the case, let's just joke around and look after each other

The world is not beautiful, and human beings are always trouble makers.

We often can't handle ourselves,

Taking care of each other and repairing each other is easy.

    The film is dominated by dialogue. The chat between the two men is casual most of the time, but if you are not careful, you will be hit by some small details, such as hints of David Wallace’s depression, such as life’s loneliness and carelessness. If you listen carefully to the dialogue, it is easy to empathize. Although some people have only brief intersections in their lives, at the point of intersection, they know that they are not alone at that moment. ★★★

    Writers are very sensitive. The narration, soundtrack and performance are good, and it can be said that it has entered the inner world of two people.
