How do you survive when the world's aberrations become the norm?

Tillman 2022-03-23 09:02:30

This film is dedicated to those who have become aware of the abnormality and are trying to adapt to it.

Disorder is a state of being in which no matter how you adjust yourself, how you attribute, how you try to find a way to reconcile, there is a terrifying and ordinary force in the world that is not right. You can't deceive yourself, no matter what you tell yourself, this is a normal and healthy world, and the mind can expose your lies. The most absurd thing about studying psychology is that everyone wants to be normal in an abnormal world. It's not everyone, it's not the government, it's not the United Nations, it's not the house next door to you, it's not the people you see every day, but it's unmistakably in others and in yourself. You communicate with them as if nothing happened, but you don't know them. Although they are not the same, they all have the same face. .

You lose everything that defines success. Maybe you're a winner, at least some people think so. But no, you're just trying to catch a breath and not available, looking for a slightly different person but not available, a pathetic person who wants to talk normally in this zoo-sized land. Sometimes, you will hear different voices by chance, catch a glimpse of a face with a different frequency in the same monotonous interval, you are delighted, you think you can experience the so-called love, which used to be the most normal in human nature but now All that has been lost makes you yearn, restless and restless. You try to communicate, no matter what reason those people are in front of you, like admiring you. It doesn't matter how you approach the other person, such as taking advantage of the other person's worship. However, gradually, you will find that everything will return to the state of dysfunction. You begin to suspect that it is not someone else who has the problem, but you. There is no answer to everything, nothing can be maintained, so that you are on the verge of collapse. But your breakdowns must also be as invisible as your loneliness and your anxiety.

You know you can't give up communication with others, you know you can't give up love, but who are you? Are you a weary life overwhelmed by business, fame, fortune, colleagues, and family, or are you a soul torn in half by a lifeless, cookie-cutter, eternally reincarnating value system?

You are nothing. You are just a man who can no longer hear any voice and no longer see any face while waiting for death in the abnormal world.

    Kaufman's script still combines the brilliant presentation with almost cruel precision and pessimism, diving deeply into heartbreak, loneliness and fear. Thinking that a special person can give a certain meaning to the boring and boring daily life, she gradually dissolved into the gray world of a thousand people after a nightmare. After all, it is impossible to desperately want to find happiness from others.

    The most important thing now is that others tell me in a different way, how disappointing this world is and how lonely everyone is. I deleted it after reading it

Anomalisa quotes

  • Michael Stone: Sometimes there's no lesson. That's a lesson in itself.

  • Michael Stone: Always remember the customer is an individual. Just like you. Each person you speak to has had a day. Some of the days have been good, some bad, but they've all had one. Each person you speak to has had a childhood. Each has a body. Each body has aches. What is it to be human? What is it to ache? What is it to be alive?

    [scoffs]

    Michael Stone: I don't know. What is it to ache? I don't know. What is it to be alive? I don't know... Uh, yes. "How do I talk to a customer?" How do I talk to a customer? These are the important questions for a customer service representative. What do I say? Do I smile while I'm on the phone? Well, they can tell, if you're smiling, even if they can't see you. Did you know that? Try it as an experiment on the phone with a friend. Try it. Go ahead. Watch.

    [turns around]

    Michael Stone: I'm lost.

    [chuckles and turns back around]

    Michael Stone: See I was smiling when I said that? I've lost my love. She's an unmoored ship and she's drifting off to sea. I have no one to talk to. I have no one to talk to. I have no one to talk to. I'm sorry. I don't mean to burden you with that, I just don't know what else to do because I have no one to talk to... Be friendly to the customer. Think of the customer as a friend...
