The heaviest mood
Deja 2022-03-20 09:01:56
Old movies, old classics. Maybe we can't experience the confusion after the war now, maybe we can't feel the madness of the Cultural Revolution, but no matter what era there will be a mainstream, it is inevitable that there will be some people who cannot be integrated into the mainstream. Therefore, the superfluous person not only exists in literary works forever, but also has a place in real life. I think the film conveys that feeling of disorientation in people's minds in a subtle and profound way. It's a long video, but it doesn't look boring at all, which I love. For a person, I think the most important thing is the mood. Wang Guozhen said: "When the mood is rainy, it is sunny, and when the heart is raining, it is also rain." I appreciate it very much. A good mood needs the irrigation of good love and friendship. If a person does not have these, there is no hope, there is no desire to live, and there is no meaning of existence.

Homer Parrish: I didn't see much of the war... I was stationed in a repair shop below decks. Oh, I was in plenty of battles, but I never saw a Jap or heard a shell coming at me. When we were sunk, all I know is there was a lot of fire and explosions. And I was ordered topsides and overboard. And I was burned. When I came to, I was on a cruiser. My hands were off. After that, I had it easy... That's what I said. They took care of me fine. They trained me to use these things. I can dial telephones, I can drive a car, I can even put nickels in the jukebox. I'm all right, but... well, you see, I've got a girl.
