After sleeping, waking up, the feeling settles down and the emotions become blurred. Sure enough, some things are better to strike while the iron is hot. But it also has advantages. Because at this moment, I have been separated from the atmosphere and emotions in the movie, and I will be more calm and objective.
Ordinary people are my eternal favorite subject, and so are marginalized people. Weaving the ununderstood distress and suffering into a net to capture hope, finding direction in the self that cannot see the edge, and finally splitting or reconciling with the world. In this process, the struggles and choices of the characters always allow me to find shadows, reflect on the past and warn the future. The vivid posture and rhythm of the world's beating are also clear. For me, a lot of the time, the stories in the movies are what I use to find resonance and empathy. Although I know this is a bad habit, I still enjoy it.
Just like this movie. In the first half of the film, Ben's tension, loss, alienation, and self-loathing are formed and accumulated in layers of growth, and the shadows of the past force him to learn and feel the "normal" world around him. And when we look at it from Ben's point of view, the seemingly tiny details in our lives that we don't care about are magnified, and I believe everyone can feel the weirdness and distortion in the "normal" world. While Ben imitates "normal" in reality, he registers himself in the game. In the game, he is level 80, with all kinds of skills and equipment, an invincible hero; but in life, he is powerless to his own existence.
Did he really hate this rotten guy in the mirror? no. What he hated was the person in the eyes of others, as he saw in the mirror.
In the first and middle parts of this film, I always think of " Transcendence ", and I can feel the helplessness of the teachers. Action is pointless, so they pray. It is a pity that even if this prayer reaches the ears of God, it cannot reach the ears of children.
Children do not listen to prayers, and so does society.
For those who care about Ben, it's also desperate to be ignored by him all the time. In the relationship between you and me, the response is the link of communication, and no one can do anything about the stagnant water that does not have beautiful ripples. But only parents don't count the rewards and always try.
I think that the teacher's inquiries without feedback, the mother's hand that was withdrawn from being touched, the father's silent movements, these unanswered concerns were all quietly scattered in Ben's soil, Turned into a girl who lives in fantasy, these loves are growing, so she grabbed Ben on the platform, told him that life has meaning, asked him to seek the help of his family, made him a special journey... From Sharp Gentle lies are reflected in the truth, and Ben also starts his own life. Deception is cruel redemption. After learning to deceive, life is shrouded in a thin mist, which looks mysterious, interesting, and much more beautiful.
On deck, jump off with courage and cast a lie in your own eternal truth. Use life to shred the false peace attached to the surface of the world, and then use existence to laugh at their awakening. It's such a fantastic ending.
finally. Throughout the film, in addition to what Ben has suffered, everyone's attitude towards him is also very sad. It's too hard to stay sane in a crowd carnival and swim against the tide. The same table took the dv and filmed it, and the excited expressions on those people's faces had long since separated from the "fun" brought by the event itself.
The worried girl sitting in the back row and the tablemate who silently took care of her. In fact, these silences are enough. Whatever the world is, he is himself. No one is needed to redeem. It is true that Her Royal Highness Princess "Mage" is his spiritual sustenance, but what saved him in the end was himself and the love in his heart. I think, in the face of this, only with gentleness and respect, do not disturb. He will embrace his own life in his own world, in his own way.
