People who resonate have more or less psychological problems

I am typing while running in the gym, if there are some incomprehensible sentence patterns or typos, please forgive me.

I remember that I was on a business trip to the Magic Capital three years ago. I had a meeting the next day, but I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night. The hotel TV could play movies on demand, so I chose it by accident. Maybe it chose me. At this age, I'm not very happy to watch a movie full of violence in the middle of the night. Ethics, life, emotions, and all kinds of stories that can be told in a calm environment are more attractive to me. It seems that if you eat a lot of fish, it is a reason that you will miss the food that is really crude and bland.

We are always envious of people who are good at thinking, and how tiring being good at thinking is, this article will tell you a possibility.

I don't remember the details of the plot in particular, I just want to write down some of my thoughts. Looking back, the text is procrastinated and lacks focus, and I don't want to adjust it deliberately, so let it show the truth. Those who understand it will naturally understand it, and those who feel contrived will not be able to reverse it no matter how good or logical the rhetoric is. After all, this is my resonance with the movie, not someone else's.

A few days ago, I cleaned up my phone and saved pictures, and found that I still have screenshots of this movie. The ending is Brad's psychological activities in the theater, the kind of repeated, contradictory, and constant self-suggestion and self-complement throughout the film. finished process. The reason why I use the word "complete" is to recall the "EVA" that I was obsessed with when I was young. I feel that Brad and Ikari Shinji are similar. They are constantly absorbing nutrients and waste from the people and things around them, and carefully let them They fill in their own incomplete humanity. The only difference is that although Brad has too many persistence and doubts, in terms of the process and outcome of the stumbling mid-life crisis he encountered, it is far better than the true governance that cannot be immune to the impact of the apostles.

Going back to the plot of the film, Brad's uncontrollable, ubiquitous, and somewhat excessive inner monologue in his life seems to be what I am thinking when I encounter things and people. The resonance is probably like this. . In the early days, he put too much emphasis on the pessimistic side of things, and was so acerbic about the two sides of any situation that such self-talk was already magical in the middle of the movie. Although there is a sense of substitution, there is also a generation of "people who think this way about everything must be mentally ill." Then, looking back on himself, he is horrified to find that no matter what stage he is, it seems that Brad's shadow cannot be erased. That kind of "ability" that "deliberately cares about other people's opinions" like a part of the body can be regarded as ability, at least you know that self-reflection is the performance of advanced people. However, the self-examination is too much, just like the last cry of the male protagonist of "Norwegian Forest", there is fog everywhere, and it is impossible to judge the direction of progress.

Sometimes I am very envious of many northerners. The so-called straight-forward character, without worrying about other people's faces or worrying about others' opinions, is a kind of happiness. I think so much and worry about the formation of my character. 40% is brought out of my mother's womb, 30% is formed in my schooling career, and another 30% is made up in my life. The comprehensive results of many aspects are not objective. But sometimes, it's also called a virtue, and it's praised for being smart and doing things well, and I'm Brad too. Of course, it is impossible for a movie to reverse the character qualities and three views that have been fixed for decades, but at least, Brad's insight at the end has allowed people like us to gain some new perspectives on life.

I love the world, whether the world loves me or not, and whether I possess her/him or not. It is also a good experience to calm down and appreciate and feel. Ultimately, Brad thought so. the same to me.
