At odds with the world, and trying to reconcile with the world

Watching this movie was purely accidental. I clicked on the recommendation on the Netflix homepage. After watching it, I felt a little insomnia. This movie has a little stamina. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a stream of consciousness movie. People who haven’t gotten it may think it’s a mess. If you get it, you will feel relieved. That kind of fear that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Some people use a consciousness Streaming movies tell you that you are not alone, at least this movie understands you.

Stream of consciousness movies put it simply, like a long dream of yours, time and space are chaotic, even jumping, all kinds of familiar or unfamiliar characters, all kinds of absurd scene transitions, you are sometimes happy and sometimes sad, all scenes Bounce at will with your consciousness. And this movie is like a dream. The heroine is a person who lives in the world and has a heart outside the world. She has a boyfriend but always wants to end the relationship. She obviously doesn't like it very much, but she will meet and date. Say what a lover should say, and do what a lover should do. Obviously out of tune with this world, but pretending to be very integrated, very happy. Obviously her boyfriend's family is very weird, and the dinner atmosphere is like a horror movie, she still tries hard to tell bad jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Perhaps we have all learned to pretend, overcome our inner fears, and work hard to play the role we need to play in this world in order to reconcile with the world.

Another emotion of the heroine is the passage of time and the fear of death. The film uses a lot of time and space conversion. One second before she was eating with her boyfriend's family, she was the only one left on the table during a glass of wine. Her boyfriend's parents will be young and old for a while, which is the time for a glass of red wine. The Lord seems to be traveling in an infinite flow of space, and the people around him grow old and die in a blink of an eye. Characters from different time and space in the play appear in front of the heroine at the same time, alluding to the encounter between the heroine's past and future.

This movie is not a movie that suits the public taste, it has a messy time, a ridiculous plot, no logic, it is not even a complete story, it is like a symphony that stirs your emotions, with long lines and dialogues, a lot of female characters The inner voice of the Lord highlights the contradiction between her and the world. She lives the life of an ordinary girl, but hides a rebellious and lonely heart. She strives to look like she is enjoying life. In fact, she is lonely and lonely, and she is afraid of aging and death. . Yes, in disguise, this is how we reconcile with the world.

    Reciting the poem "Bone Dog" and returning home in despair, the rabies virus damages nerve endings only for its own reproduction, just as a bad movie needs to take root in the audience's brain, so the name of Jimmy, who keeps throwing hair, is engraved on the ashes of the bookshelf ;Follow the Queen of Ice Cream Town to dream of singing and dancing life in a soap opera-like teaching building, and finally live as a pig with maggots in the cruel farm; You are the reason for my existence, but you do not exist, just like there is no objective color in the universe, It's just a physiological response to the human brain triggered by electromagnetic waves... Extremely sad, lonely to death, Charlie Kaufman did it again

    The ultimate competition of movie screenwriters is "Tao". It depends on who's way of thinking, perspective of the world, and insight into the essence of human nature. Once you figure it out, "art" is not so important.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Janitor: What does your boyfriend look like?

    Young Woman: It's hard to describe people. It was so long ago, I barely remember. I mean... We never even talked, is the truth. I'm not even sure I registered him. There's a lot of people. I was there with my girlfriend... We were celebrating our anniversary, stopped in for a drink, and then this guy kept looking at me. It's a nuisance. The occupational hazard of... of being a female. You can't even go for a drink. Always being looked at. He was a creeper! You know? And I remember thinking, I wish my boyfriend was here. Which is... That's sort of sad, that being a woman, the only way a guy leaves you alone is if you're with another guy. Like, if... like... like you've been claimed. Like you're property, even then. Anyway, I can't... I can't remember what he looks like. Why would I? Nothing happened. Maybe it was just... I think it was just... Just one of thousands of such non-interactions in my life. It's like asking me to describe a mosquito that bit me on an evening 40 years ago. Well, you haven't seen anyone fitting that description, have you?

  • The Voice: It's not bad, once you stop feeling sorry for yourself because you're just a pig, or, even worse, a pig infested with maggots. Someone has to be a pig infested with maggots, right? It might as well be you. It's the luck of the draw. You play the hand you're dealt. You make lemonade. You... you move on. You don't worry about a thing.
