The tragedy of the non-American dream is an inherent attribute of a salesman

he is no great men. he is a human being. - Mother's angelic confession you have all kinds of greatness, just a trophy.

A young and active idealist has become deeply disillusioned because of his father's derailment. Why does our own ideal collapse due to the influence of others? Others must be puzzled. Parental values ​​shape the ideal foundation of everything for children, and the building of life on it must also require the power of doubt and the power to understand the other side of the dark. But judging from the utter first skepticism that many people should have experienced, the collapse of the Biff is understandable.

The transitions in one go, blending hallucinations and nostalgia, the pieces are heart-wrenching and unstoppable. The confrontation between brothers is two personalities, the truth is tangled and the lie is gentle. The American dream is not the culprit of the salesman's life being rejected, but the problem of awareness and the attributes of a salesman that extend to life, but I don't want to explain it as simple as "seeing the reality clearly" (seeing the reality is too pessimistic) (this major Probability is not telling us to "dissolve the American dream" and "see reality clearly", but to learn to "know yourself") (so the film may not be based on realism). Fortunately (perhaps lamentable), in addition to the three extreme people, there is also a mother who sees everything clearly and can do her best to care. Biff is as ignorant as who? But it's not his fault. you are definately not "nothing".

Salesman attributes: You must first fully believe in the product you are trying to sell, never doubt, always justify it without knowing it, and his attitude towards work also applies to himself (from a certain point of view, he is the best salesman) , He fully believes that the set of values ​​he sells to his children is consistent, the same on the outside, the end of death destined to usher, and it is also a wrong dream. (Education doesn't teach "dogma", it lists "choices")

Willy is actually experiencing the first complete doubt, but it's too late, and due to various reasons, the process of doubt has dragged on to an unbelievable length. Everything he believes in has already occupied his entire life, and only death can save him. Compared with this, Biff is much luckier. With the blessing of perfect negative teaching materials, it took only a little time when he was young to end the process of his first complete doubt, and completed cognitive reconstruction and reconciliation, waiting for his reconciliation. It's a transformation within reach.

Wipe all past clean. Isn't that remarkable?
