There is a story in "Let's Hear the Wind Sing", which was told by the mouse. After the shipwreck, the man floated on a life buoy, the woman floated on another life buoy and floated together, and the third life buoy was filled with cans of beer. They drink and chat, drink and chat, and the woman asks: Where to go. The man said that he would just float and drink like this, waiting for rescue. The woman said no, she was going to swim to the desert island and wait for rescue. After the two separated, she rowed and rowed hard. The man was rescued when he floated, and the woman waited for rescue when she rowed to the island. Especially many years later, the two met in a bar, and the woman said, "When you swim, because you are afraid that I am wrong and you are right, I have been expecting you to die."
At the end of "Exhausted", Michelle told Patricia that Bichi, Joan didn't like Godard at that time, because she didn't like jumping. So between sadness and nothingness, Bernard is the one who chooses nothingness. This movie is very blurry. I like it more than director Noah Baumbach's hit "Marriage Story" last year's awards season. The latter is afraid that because of its more explicit social display, it loses its gravity. This film is more real because of this. The family of four are all people who don't like to pierce their scars. The process of watching the movie was very depressing, as if something happened around when I was walking on the road, it was almost the same as if it didn't happen, and I was watching something and not watching it. There are so many wrinkles crawling on the epidermis. I usually don't like to use the cheesy idiom of washing away the lead, but I haven't been able to find a more accurate way to describe it.
The character of Walter impresses me both big and small, and his loneliness and cowardice also exist in me. At the beginning of the new world, many things did not have names, and when they were mentioned, they needed to be pointed with a finger. Like a reed, he will take other people's art as his own, take other people's love as his own, take other people's position as his own, take other people's ideas as his own, and take other people's feelings as his own. Milan Kundera's Jaromil shouted "The real life is elsewhere", and I have always believed that since I was a child.
But in the movie, Walter finally has two actions for his father to leave, the escape when he sees his father and his lover crowded, and the farewell after ordering breakfast in the ward for his father. There was that moment for him and for me, looking alone at my ex-girlfriend in the glass window or looking at the giant sculptures of squid and whales in the aquarium, and director Baumbach was able to accurately show this moment, I It is also very grateful to be able to be induced to resonate.
