I also want to go to that church and dance with you from a distance.

After the second brush, I have a better understanding of Wallace's choice to dance in the church. No one in the church knows him. They only dance attentively and don't need to talk. This is more important to Wallace. but. He can concentrate and immerse himself in the notes, not to think about entertainmentism, not to think about his loneliness, not to face a blank sheet of paper, not to face the scene of thoughtful writing, not to dig deep into himself, not to face For useless socializing, he just needs to indulge in it.

I want to be friends with people touched by this movie; in fact, you can't be friends with me, especially when you realize that no one can really understand each other; for lonely people, Friendship is sometimes like a happiness potion secreted by the cerebral cortex, which makes people temporarily forget everything and indulge in it, but when friendship is lost, they may be thrown into the abyss of loneliness again; A self-protection mechanism, but what about after becoming famous? Some people will wave goodbye to their former self, without thinking or missing, and lose themselves in the sugar coat of success. But for writers who are famous for being lonely and famous, the biggest contradiction is, how will the famous self evaluate the self-protection mechanism under the social fear? Especially Wallace, a loneliness patient with a sharp mind, longing for loneliness, rejecting loneliness, longing for attention, and wanting to keep a distance, any loss or gain will only make him more lost; Wallace's pain, also It can be understood in this way that in the ups and downs of ordinary people, in addition to teaching themselves lessons and regrets, they also have to bear the pain of losing the peak. The relationship between Wallace and loneliness is very delicate. He was first made up by loneliness, and then loneliness made him. He abandoned family, friends, and fixed social circles. Later, in his thousands of pages of writing about loneliness, he reconciled with himself, and even relied on the feeling of loneliness, but the problem is that when he appeared in the public eye because of his fame, he began to panic. For a writer who lives with loneliness, is vulnerable and sensitive, and writes by tasting loneliness, he has felt the joy of becoming famous, and he must always remind himself of his loneliness. In this way, all the perceived happiness seems to be covered with a layer. The foggy sobriety; he loves watching TV, commercial films, vulgar and addictive, although not as good as dupin, but it can numb his nerves and make him forget thinking and his loneliness. But some people are destined not to change, they are destined to become writers of introspection, and they are destined to choose a state of self-reconciliation and loneliness after the fame of blooming flowers, but all of this contains a sense of unavoidable fate. , he can't break through himself, loneliness is his biggest addiction. Wallace is very ordinary. When faced with desire, he faces it calmly; when his ex-girlfriend is flirted, he is jealous; when faced with fame, he is confused. The kind of clear awareness that fame will bring about a shotgun for a cannon. Threats; in the face of business offers, he feels like a bitch, and the attention and fame of others will make him lose the loneliness he once insisted on; Wallace also has his own extraordinary side, revealing candor all over. So that this kind of frankness will make reporter friends who interview him feel uncomfortable. True; after the subtitles appear, there will still be a feature film. At 1:40:50, it is recorded that he confessed to the recorder that he started smoking cigarettes again; he confessed that he was not smart enough, he confessed that he was nervous, and he would know that the magazine paid the bill. buy more snacks; he gets mad when his friend is flirting with his ex-girlfriend; he longs for his friend to eat breakfast he made; he admits that he is introverted, sensitive, and vulnerable, and he admits that he does not want to get into into a relationship, because it might hurt; he also admits that if his face was replaced by that of his journalist friend, he might be successful; he admits to being apprehensive the first time he met a Rolling Stone reporter I don't know what to say; he will also admit that when he was in the gym as a towel boy, when he saw the person who was standing with him to accept the award, he wanted to find a ground to dig into; he would worry that the other party would not like his real On the one hand, especially after being seen by the public; he also admitted that he hoped that he could promote his new book and have sex with women, but he felt fortunately that he did not do so, because it would make him feel more lonely, because it seemed that they were just for Your reputation is the same as you roll the sheets; he has serious mental cleanliness. As for fame itself, he doesn't want to be sold as a name, especially after becoming famous, he can take the opportunity to satisfy his own desires and other activities by hanging his name ; She also admitted that she was particularly fascinated by the feeling of being surrounded by women, because she wanted to hear a few words from him, and she voluntarily devoted herself; Yes, this is him. Ordinary to the same as other people, with the most common desire and loneliness, but with hopeless introspection and sensitivity, the most important thing is that he chooses to be honest as always. Regarding death, he mentioned the pain of jumping down from a burning building. Why would someone choose to jump down instead of suffering other ways of dying? Because other ways of dying have unbearable consequences. He chose to commit suicide, must be because he suffered unbearable pain like burning himself in a fire? Is it because of that fateful loneliness, or the mental self-torture that fame brought him? Wallace tried suicide at the age of 28, when he was a little famous, he felt like his life was stagnant, so he needed something extra to get himself out, he yp, he drank and ran like a , but useless. It was not until he finally chose to return to loneliness and realized that all the fame was a mere name, he began to embark on the road of redemption by writing again. What is he battling? Wallace is a deep-thinking writer, thinking about loneliness, battling his own desires and addictions, battling the spiritual needs of most people in this world, writing and trying to stay sane , this in itself is something that retrogrades will do, and retrogrades themselves are extremely lonely; about society and the times, he is worried that entertainment is paramount, so always keep fighting and sober, watching TV and masturbation, all become in the mind The small porn that is played makes people get quick pleasure, and people can easily get simple comfort in front of these things. For him, it is better to die. Regarding marriage and love, he could not find his emotional destination. He hoped to find someone who could share every corner of his spiritual world, but he was destined to not find it. He hoped that the other half could respect the moment of his self-awareness awakening, and hope that he could He maintains that sense of spatial distance from the other half, but he clearly realizes that such a person is impossible to appear in his life. After all, he's someone who doesn't write in front of others. To tell you the truth, when I saw the end, I didn’t really want the movie to end, because Wallace is a very real and cute person, which reminded me of my American friend Lao Jia, but unfortunately I don’t know when I will be able to see him, Lao Jia He is a hippie, Wallace is a writer who keeps introspection, and the soul part of them is enough to be missed and loved. But the movie will always end, until the end, he is a big hit, but he is still so lonely that he is willing to admit when the "Rolling Stone" that introduced the old rock star and the cool rock star interviewed him. He's not cool, a library guy, and he doesn't have any of the drunken, scarred, Hemingway-esque experiences of fighting the world. He is who he is, when someone else comes to interview him, The first is a writer who keeps introspection, and the soul part of them is enough to be missed and loved.

He will be cute and blunt, and I actually want to write a little biography about you guy. The guy who chooses to avoid the hustle and bustle and dance happily in the church, the guy who can immerse himself in it while admitting that his dance steps are outdated; if ah, hello, Wallace, I said if possible, I want to go to that church too , dance with you from a distance.

I would like to write this article to commemorate the author who is simple and earnestly sticks to himself. David Foster Wallace, an American novelist, was born on February 21, 1962 in Ithaca, New York, USA, and hanged himself at home on September 12, 2008. He is very accomplished in literature. In terms of content, he has been paying attention to the material world and the feelings of people living in this world with great curiosity, especially those living in the United States at the end of the 20th century. Formally, unlike the minimalism that prevailed in the 1980s, Wallace was very fond of long, complicated sentences, and footnotes and endnotes even longer than the text, which became one of the hallmarks of his work. One of his works: "Infinite Jest" (1996), "The Broom of the System" (1987) Short story collection "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men," 1999), Girl with Curious hair (1989) Prose Collection
