"We all make many choices in life"
"Continuing with these choices is the hardest lesson in life"
"Go forward, don't look back"
These few lines directly hit my heart. The reason why some films are profound lies in the exploration of the "meaning of life". "Fantastic Brush" seems to be a quite traditional story: Rory, who wanted to create "world-shattering literary works", stumbled upon it. I found a manuscript of a novel in an old leather bag I found in an antique store. After reading it, I was so impressed that I published it as my own work. Rory's reputation rose after publication, but at this time the true owner of the manuscript came to him. The old man told Rory his story, as well as some of the inspiring words above.
Experiences are often more exciting than stories. The true owner of the manuscript traded the loss of a child for a gripping story. Rory was lucky enough to pick up the manuscript and gained fame and money for it. Even in the face of conscience and moral constraints, there are a few people who can resist the temptation of fame and fortune.
Later in the film, a clever female reader questioned Rory's "comfort" in the story, saying: "People always sleep."
Yes, a person can persuade himself, convince himself to break the shackles of morality and conscience, and be a thief, a bad person, or even a person who does all evil. But when it's quiet at night, how do you deal with yourself? Only when you are with yourself can you see your true self.
The old man said to Rory: "Go forward, don't look back." If you make a choice, you have to pay the price, and each choice has its own shortcomings and shortcomings. If you choose fame and fortune that do not belong to you, the torment of your conscience is just as painful.
