Utopia is not shattered, we have to keep walking

Sliding directly to the last sentence, you can know what Teacher Tang's movie is about and why it is so unforgettable (but it is recommended not to do this)

I want to write the following words in a flashback similar to the movie "Rewind Life" to pay tribute to the movie.

Two days ago, I watched a rather embarrassing movie, a British biographical niche movie "Stuart: Rewinding Life". This movie is quite a story, the protagonists are Tom Hardy #tom hardy# and Benedict #Benedict Cumberbatch#. The movie is based on a true story. Real power does not need too many artistic techniques to express, reality itself is an art. So I'm even more depressed after watching it.

Cum Fu, he's a good actor, his face is as long as his name, he's too long so we won't talk about him for now. (laugh

Mrs. Tang, the wife is excellent. I seem to have completely forgotten his image of "Mr. E" in "Inception" and his naive and funny appearance in "Venom". His rendition of Stuart has set a standard in my mind as a homeless person. Stewart drank, stole, and self-harmed. He was a poor homeless man who often squatted in prison, and an ordinary person full of kindness and helpfulness. Mr. Tang is very good at these points.

Those stories that begin with curiosity and end with bitterness always have their own heaviness, which can always draw a strong stroke in the listener's life. I don't agree with the word empathy, but I want to say that after listening to his narrative, the listener should be able to understand the character better. (The film itself is done in the form of an interview biography, and we are all listeners like Benny)

What is Utopia? While the movie shatters it, it tells you that the Utopia exists, and we have to keep walking.

The two things that touched me the most in the film, one is the joy of Stewart and Alexander (played by Curly Fu) calling to tell him that his heart can be inserted with a pacemaker; the other is Alexander listening to Stewart to himself after his death. tapes of the moment.

At the end of the film, Alexander sneaks a window bestseller into a biography of Stewart, laughing to himself that Stewart would love it.

Stewart's life full of scars and kindness, a life full of pain and short. What exactly happened?

Why can't we hate a "bad guy" in the traditional sense? He should have been a person to be avoided, why should we be full of pity because of his short and turbulent life.

Approaching him, you will find that he understands very well. He doesn't hide his thoughts, he knows he has a dark side but isn't afraid to expose it. He drives very slowly, only thirty miles, and he likes to cook, although very attentively, in our opinion, it is dark cooking. At first, he was full of contempt for the middle class, but he also changed his view of this class because of the friendship that developed in his contacts with Alexander.

In order to save the people in the orphanage, he would fight with Alexander over and over again, and open his scars in front of everyone over and over again, just to show the truest side, just to help him for the righteous things he did. .

He laughed and told Alexander that he liked it so much as he drove the lawnmower. He took the prepared lunch to Alexander, although he didn't know it was really bad. He drove and turned his head to have snot running down his nose. He calls his kids, hessing is kind of cute (and pathetic too)

He was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little uneasy and asked Alexander why he thought he was funny, and was it true that he was friends with him. He tried to drive away the demons hiding in his body, and the reason for setting fire and self-mutilation later we all understand.

Alexander asked him if he could change one point in his life, what would he change. After hesitating, he said he wanted to change the day he discovered the violence.

There are two scenes in the film where he steps back. One was when the kids tried to bully him as a kid, and he backed off. The other was when his stepfather asked him to be violent, and he backed away.

He died in the end, I don't know if it was because he committed suicide by lying on the rails or died accidentally.

He had been subjected to violence as a child and had been sexually abused by his own brother and by his own teacher.
