no logic

To be honest, when I started watching it today, I always thought it was a thriller at first, thinking that the heroine would die, or that my parents died in it. The description of the bone dog makes me feel so terrifying and depressing, as well as the part about the basement. I was hanging all the time. I was holding the bowl while I was watching. I was afraid that a bone or a human head would suddenly appear, so I put the bowl down and clasped my hands together.

The mother who has been waving in front of the window, the sheep frozen to death in the barn, the pig eaten by maggots, the scratches and tape on the basement door almost at a human angle. It felt like a little bit of pushing me into a terrifying atmosphere.

Especially between the female lead and the male lead, there is something that feels like it will explode at any time, which makes me feel so scared. I thought it was many years after the heroine's death, fantasies about the details before her death. Especially the person in the dessert shop who looked like the young lady told her, you know that the back doesn't smell like paint, I'm very scared, if you're scared, don't go forward.

But later, as they drove to the dessert shop and school, I started to feel that something was wrong again, a schizophrenic thought that the two of them could not be the same person.

To be honest, movie lines are not academic people, most things can't understand (art, film, literature, sociology, psychology, communication and feminism, topics of aging, they debate too fast, the field is also Too much, I said there are too many to keep up with, but I will look at it again, hh may be stubborn)

But the latter contradictions, what they say are too realistic (suggesting breakups, personality conflicts, sudden outbreaks of violence (hearing hallucinations, irritability), rape, drinking, coercion, freezing to death), and let I feel like a reason for killing that would appear in a real criminal case. Although I found a few are just memes

Just a lot of things are too vague, too imagery. But I was excited to watch this kind of thing, and concentrated my mind to pick out a line that could shape reality.

Although I still failed in the end, I couldn't see which one was true and which one was false. But I still find it very novel. I think how can there be such a team that can suppress such personal emotions, academic language, contradictions and thrillers, and use execution to film them and show them. Generally speaking, this kind of film is really not good for word of mouth. Its threshold is too high. It feels like the persistence of spending money to express my dream.

To be honest, I really don't want to watch it again, because maybe academic people or people in some circumstances will have a lot of empathy for the protagonist in this movie or their views on reality in the debate. That kind of understanding of reality, because opening a certain door of thinking, and alienation of people and things in reality, it is difficult to look at reality calmly and is incompatible with depression and pain. I feel a sense of resistance and powerlessness about what people say and do, but they force the pain of being a gregarious person. that's torture

It's too hypocritical, but next time I'm in this situation again, I'll come back and watch it again. Now it is a relatively positive academic and life attitude✊✊

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Young Woman: Everything wants to live, Jake. Viruses are just one more example of everything. Even fake, crappy movie ideas want to live. Like, they grow in your brain, replacing real ideas. That's what makes them dangerous.

  • Young Woman: It's a uniquely human fantasy that things will get better, born perhaps of the uniquely human understanding that things will not.
