47 years old, is it really naive to think that you are the center of the world?

There is an illusion when I see it halfway through. If the protagonist has any exceptionally good aspect, the audience must have a say. Because we have seen his life, heard his own elaboration, and can also see the various feelings in his heart after his comments on others. I watched the whole film with this mentality, and I was waiting for a climax for a moment that pushed the character psychology of the protagonist to its peak, but I didn't feel like I had waited. After watching the movie, go back and review it, if the central sentence has appeared a few times, I think it may be the girl in the bar and she said that you are so old and feel like the center of the world, you are more than most people. You have a good time, your problems are like the white problem, the upper class problem, the male power problem... The other one is that his classmate told him in the restaurant that I have never regarded you as a competitor, or that it may be possible for a short period of time. Yes. And the conversation between my son and him at the end, everyone only cares about their own affairs, no one will always remember you, even if there is, it's just me, then you just need to care about my thoughts. When I watch these three clips together, I may understand a little why the protagonist has difficulty reconciling with himself and the world. He has been paying attention to his own disappointments, and wants to compare with successful people, even because these successful people are what he thinks can be compared. He was engulfed by these disappointments, and he even feared his son's success in his fantasies. He magnified his frustration to the point that he felt that people around him would deny him or think he was a nobody because of this. But in fact, those who care about him are those who love him, and only these people care about him. And those remaining people don't care about him is the norm. The world doesn't hate him for no reason. Live, feel life, and then live the way you like and love the world, just fine. I think the protagonist will gain a little reconciliation between himself and his life after this trip to the East Coast. I will also experience peace of mind in my life.

Brad's Status quotes

  • Brad Sloan: [narrating] Her friend, Maya was equally captivating, equally compelling. I suddenly felt a deep grief... for all the women I would never love and all the lives I would never live. I imaging running away with them both and starting again and what that might look like.

  • Troy Sloan: When we were walking around today and you embarrassing me, I kept thinking, like, you know, if I go to this school, everybody here's gonna remember this and I'm never gonna live this down. But... you know, they're not gonna remember. Because, everybody's just thinking about themselves. You know? Nobody cares. Like, the only person that's thinking about you, is me, so... the only person's opinion that you should really care about is mine.

    Brad Sloan: Yeah. What's your opinion?

    Troy Sloan: Well, I love you.

    Brad Sloan: Thank you.
