Middle-aged without money is indeed a bit mourning

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

This movie tells a very simple story: an ordinary middle-aged man often thinks of his classmates who are bright and beautiful in front of him and arrogant and lascivious. Begging for help, I finally bragged with two young female students and was ridiculed for my greasy and worldly three views. The old teacher who was looking for a sense of existence has passed away. I am just a speck of dust living in the present, and the world cares about you. There are very few people, and overall it disdains you and has to work hard to love it.

The basic idea conveyed by the film is that you have to love the world even if you are not the center of it. Of course, this kind of judgment is wrong, it is just saying "you have to endure it if you don't have money, you should!". In contrast, the protagonist's arrogant and lustful friends are the center of the world. If you see money, the world will always revolve around you. Even if they are dismissive of their surroundings, some brainless fans will rush over to take a group photo. So, being rich is arrogant? Just noble? Should the world be a playground instead of a Shura field?

(Of course, this kind of thinking is likely to have a bright future, everyone is working hard to make money, and finally the productivity is raised to a very high level and communism is realized. There are magnified versions of the rich and the poor, the mid-life crisis and the wealthy are the things that will happen again and again.)

No matter how much you say, you still have no money, you still have to watch the same world revolve around others, and you are a part of this world, don’t you believe it? When you ask for help, you believe it. I really hope that this movie can be a sequel. The male protagonist just wants to become rich and powerful and enjoy a arrogant and extravagant life, so let him start a business, go public, enter a university, bring his own project fund, and wait for himself. Helpers stomped the threshold.

No matter how much you say, you still have no money. This is the most helpless thing for middle-aged people.

Even if Daydream looks good, it's conceivable that the sequel to Daydream looks like that.

Look at the two female students, who are ambitious and talk about first-class talents, but the fantasy of the male protagonist about these two being taken care of by the rich in the future is not uncommon in reality. The current brilliance is just that it has not been hammered by life. When a person reaches middle age, he has no money, no relationship, and no social status. No matter how much you try to decorate it, you can't change the reality of life embarrassment.

Who doesn't want to live proudly all the time, but who can't beg for help all their life?

above.

(Don't be so sad, try hard, we are all very powerful people, although we can't change the people and things around us, at least we can make ourselves happy.)

Brad's Status quotes

  • Brad Sloan: [narrating] Her friend, Maya was equally captivating, equally compelling. I suddenly felt a deep grief... for all the women I would never love and all the lives I would never live. I imaging running away with them both and starting again and what that might look like.

  • Troy Sloan: When we were walking around today and you embarrassing me, I kept thinking, like, you know, if I go to this school, everybody here's gonna remember this and I'm never gonna live this down. But... you know, they're not gonna remember. Because, everybody's just thinking about themselves. You know? Nobody cares. Like, the only person that's thinking about you, is me, so... the only person's opinion that you should really care about is mine.

    Brad Sloan: Yeah. What's your opinion?

    Troy Sloan: Well, I love you.

    Brad Sloan: Thank you.
