If the professor and the lunatic can't meet, their life is another story.
The professor is still obsessed with endless screening and investigation, and the lunatic is still trapped in memories and cannot be redeemed.
I think what geniuses and lunatics have in common is loneliness.
The former moved forward alone, beyond the times, already standing on the top of the mountain, but still looking to a higher and broader place, so the people standing at the foot of the mountain did not understand, and even sneered at it. The professor in the film is lucky, his wife is considerate, and his children are lively and lovely. Although his mind and spirit are lonely, he is always accompanied by the joy of life and has a harbor where he can rest.
And the latter has experienced the blow of detachment and seems to be out of the right track of the world, and he is also lonely. The imprint he had engraved became a demon, and only he understood the pain and struggle. At the same time, the forbidden love for the widow is constantly in conflict with the deep guilt. The widow said: if love, then love. How many psychological struggles the madman must endure with simple words for her. Love is pure, but how much darkness and chaos is there in the love of a madman?
Their loneliness lies in their unique personalities and experiences. But thinking about it this way, aren't all people in the world unique individuals? We are not alone.
The loneliness here does not refer to the simple life and material things, but the spiritual world buried deep in the heart.
Everyone is an island, and every island is different. Imagine that at a noisy party, well-dressed people can chat freely in social situations, the house is decorated in grandeur, the symphony is sometimes melodious and sometimes elegant, this is a carnival that belongs to Vanity Fair. But behind the excitement, I see the loneliness behind people. Obviously they have the same status, but behind those rich and independent individuals also implies their own world. Maybe it's a disease, maybe it's a family conflict, or maybe it's a sudden change - these must not be put on the bright side, let alone at such a splendid feast? So everyone in Vanity Fair hides secrets in their hearts, and loneliness inadvertently blows through their hearts.
Not just parties, this situation can also occur in schools, vegetable farms, families and even all aspects of life. The joys and sorrows of human beings are difficult to communicate, and the sense of loneliness is pervasive. I wonder if the professor feels as small as a mayfly as he explores the vast sea of words.
Fortunately, sometimes we meet people in similar situations to ourselves, and when empathy takes hold, loneliness changes. The word resonance is very metaphysical. It requires a specific time, place, character and emotional experience, and neither is indispensable. When two individuals collide through resonance, the thinking will diverge to an infinite breadth. At this time, human beings are no longer mayflies, but have become a universe that can accommodate all things.
Of course, some people may never meet a confidant in their whole life, so they can only enjoy this loneliness alone - loneliness is by no means pain, we can enjoy it and appreciate the vastness of the world.
Such a beautiful lotus pond moonlight, when I walk alone, it belongs to me alone.
