The professor was stumped by "Art", and the madman said: All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness. All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness. In other words, get out of the dark. The professor's wife, Ada, said, "Sometimes, when people push people away, it's also when they want them to stay." These are the two parts of the film that touched me the most, especially the first sentence. However, the first version I watched had only Chinese subtitles and no English, which translated into "All great and beautiful works of art originate from staring into the darkness for the first time without retreating back to it." This translation is not very accurate. It comes from a glimpse, which is different from staring into the darkness for the first time. One speaks of hope, and one can no longer bear the darkness after seeing the beauty; one speaks of bravery and faces To the darkness, the courage to decide not to back down. As far as I am concerned, the latter is more tear-jerking, hoping to live forever, but courage is not always possessed. I remember that when I saw this, tears came out instantly, because I had stared at the darkness, chose to be brave, and no longer flinched. It is not the darkness of the world, not the darkness of human feelings, but the darkness of oneself, those troubles and constraints that are always present and do not want to get rid of all the time. Is crying for the courage to "get out of the dark". Good movies, good books, good paintings and music can all resonate. People find themselves in them, experience joy and sadness, and experience beautiful feelings that they cannot extract from ordinary life due to their limited ability.
