Great courage needs to stare intently at the sun

This is probably the best drama I have watched this year.

About the American spirit of the times.

Despite being mocked by countless "old civilizations" for lack of historical accumulation and humanistic spirit, the United States has a certain religious enthusiasm for history and humanities, chewing its own history and culture like ruminants, trying to secrete new meanings.

The frenzy America of the 1920s, the Great Depression America of the 1930s, the wartime America of the 1940s, the conservative America of the 1950s, the reformation America of the 1960s, the America that experienced a hangover of change under the stagflation economy in the 1970s, The neoliberal United States in the 1980s and the United States with the industrialization of information technology in the 1990s... The entire world is closely watching the United States, but the United States has little interest in the world. Europe? Europe is very good, we will definitely go on vacation. For the so-called Asian-African civilization, it is enough to read "The Kite Chaser".

In the United States in the 2010s, middle-aged yuppies were hesitant and helpless, and found themselves no better than others thought. So I bought a Vitamix juicer and a sports bracelet, participated in spiritual inspiration classes, jogged in the morning, took drugs by the pool in the evening, and had an unusual passion for liquid food... Does Hollywood live like this? I know that people live like this-people imitate each other, including life. We are sweaters of the same style spun out by the shuttle of destiny, and the times are just spinning threads of different colors.

About the dispute between zoe and zelda.

There are many interesting details in this play that are worth exploring. For example, the decorative paintings on the walls with great background; for example, when Beyoncé attended the awards ceremony, the feet were still in plaster, Jay-Z sitting next to her was a zebra (hahaha); Princess Carolyn’s date was three A child wearing adult clothes, but everyone turned a blind eye; Bojack won the Golden Globe award through his autobiography, and has held the trophy forever; and the personality of Zoe and Zelda.

There is a scene in the cartoon. A passerby wears a T-shirt with "I'm a Zoe" printed on it. Only Zoe can be very sure of their Zoe identity, just as the most enthusiastic MBTI personality analysis is always the INTP group. . I think this is because Zeldas have almost no identity crisis. They are like Peanutbutter. They are outgoing, confident, cheerful, always full of enthusiasm even for only three minutes, and they are obsessed with emerging things even if they are superficial. They are natural social stars and fashionable. leader. And Zoe always needs to be disguised if he wants to be liked. Obama is Zoe, but he must act like a Zelda if he wants to win voters.

Zoe yearns for life, but life is in Zelda's hands. The tragedy of this drama is that there are too many Zoe, and the quality of the text is history, how can it not be empty.

By the way, I am Zoe.

Regarding the freezing age point.

For celebrities, people will only leave the impression of when they were famous, their age will always be fixed at that period, and they will not grow or grow old. For ordinary people, when they get married or meet the love of life in the frozen age, since they have successfully married themselves/found the child's biological mother/appreciated the taste of love, there is no need for growth from then on.

My girlfriend is 35 years old, and her freezing age is 24 years old. She owned her first office that year; my mother's freezing age was 27 years old. She was working in Guangzhou that year and I called her. I said, "Ma Ma, my knee broke, come and help me apply the medicine." She came back to me with tears and planned not to leave again; I have a friend whose freezing age is relatively sad, 17 years old (so he is stupid It's horrible), he returned to China for the first time that year; my dad's frozen age was 9 and a half years old. That year, my grandmother died of illness and was buried. His mantra was "I am a bitter child."

Will people find that the real life is often over before our lives have begun? Otherwise, why would people be so enthusiastic about class reunions? Otherwise, why do soap operas always end when the hero and the heroine are "together"? The meaning of summer is not going to Australia or Antarctica for vacation, but the afternoon mat, ice watermelon and cicadas; and the meaning of sex cannot exceed the white neck of the girl in the front seat. The so-called living in the present is to live with no purpose and full of desire. Such days are gone forever. Admit it, there are only a few sips of the wine of life, and you have finished drinking it.

About love and lack. There is still courage.

There is no shortage of bastards like Bojack in American dramas. In Bojack, we can see Norma in "Sunset Boulevard", Don in "Mad Men", and House in "Doctor House". Individualism, consumerism, career and need to "self-actualize", annoying and a little fascinating, without Christ.

The sun shining on Beverly Hills was more generous and brighter than the sun in other places, but it couldn't warm Bojack's body. Despite being rich, living in a big house, having a girlfriend who loves him, and finally starring in the movie of his dreams, Bojack is still unhappy. He is acrimonious and selfish and fragile. He is usually passive, lazy and doing nothing. Once offended, he will spray poison. Others seem to drown in their dark personality at any time. He is eager for everything, worrying about gains and losses, without self-love and exceptionally self-pity. But he wants to be liked, "deep down", he wants to be a good person.

The problem is here. Like Diane, I don't believe in "deep inside". External behavior will faithfully act out the thoughts deep in your heart. If you are a good person deep in your heart, how can you act like a bastard? So Bojack hesitated and the audience was angry. However, there is no need for a trial. Camus said that people do not want the sobriety and sarcasm of others. Trial means badness.

Camus also said: When a person declares that he is immoral, I think he means that he needs to give himself a certain morality; when he says that he despises wisdom, I understand that he cannot bear his doubts. Life is full of five poisons, and the world is shy, ridiculous and restrained. Don't cheat, don't deceive yourself. Great courage requires staring at the sun intently, as if facing death.
