Ugh

Pretty fun. The puppet turned me off a hundred times...I have a strange fondness for Charlie Kaufman - not in a positive sense, but if I were to choose a work to represent myself/describe my life, then I hope it is. Curious, romantic, disgusting, arrogant, helpless, contradictory, can't help, run away, calm.

The scene I like very much is the two people lying on the bed. Stone touched Lisa's belly and couldn't help pecking and kissing her cheek from time to time. Lisa looked at the ceiling and kept talking... so intimate, so fond, so fond.

"Anyone can, as long as it's not Lisa", no one can, as long as it's Lisa. Besides, it was always Mr.stone who was out of order.

Lisa is not like Bella. Can't say being deceived by this man, he just seemed, suddenly disappeared, he just suddenly realized one morning, opposite this woman I was fascinated by, she was hitting her teeth with a fork, she was talking with something in her mouth... Her unique voice that fascinated me most and was different from the whole world suddenly disappeared. She was still talking nonstop as I had hoped, but the moment the day sun fell on her face, she became like everyone else.

The repeated appearance of the same thing may be the director's bad taste, becoming Malkovich's repeated bald head, abnormally the same voice here... It's weird and charming - but it's really realistic.

But I'm glad I finally finished watching the movie.

The portrayal of a poor man who is successful and unloved doesn't elicit sympathy or affection, it just makes people feel sick - of course that's just what I think - and this is the commonality of most of Charlie Kaufman's male characters . While watching the film I was thinking: So in my mind there is actually such a rule "A society can celebrate the greatness of a man, but cannot tolerate his weakness"?... This man is self-righteous and shapes himself A pitiful look - and maybe that's what it is, he's loved by everyone in this reality - and that's making me sick.
