1. Anomaly+Lisa=Anomalisa The movie puts this extraordinary (Anomaly) on Lisa's voice and face, just such an extraordinary and unusual impression and feeling, but an illusion, similar to a martini, a Prozac, a carnival. 2. The Art of Loving (1956) makes the misunderstanding of falling in love very clear - people seek eternity, but they are invested in ephemeral feelings. Teacher Xin Yiyun's Analects of Confucius, Volume 184:

The Master said, "There is a saying in the South: 'People are not permanent, so one cannot be a witch doctor.' Good husband!

This whole sentence means that people in the South have an adage: "If a person does not have perseverance and perseverance, he will change from day to day, and he will not be able to do the work of a witch doctor, because the witch doctor will not be able to do it well. To communicate with the gods and spirits of the world, to pray for people, to relieve disasters, or to help people heal and save people's lives in pain, if they don't have perseverance and perseverance, they will never be able to do such a professional thing." Confucius He praised: "This is a really good word! It puts forward the most basic core of being a human being - perseverance and perseverance." Therefore, Confucius again cited the Zhouyi, which is what we call the Book of Changes today. The nine-three lines in the Heng hexagram say: "If a person does not have perseverance and perseverance, and his words and deeds are impermanent, then he will be followed by humiliation." Then Confucius added: "For such a person People who have no perseverance, perseverance, and half-heartedness, even divination is inaccurate to him. When encountering such a person, the only thing to do is not to take it, that is, to not take it.”

In the previous chapters, Confucius emphasized the autonomy of man, the subjectivity of man. If a person does not have autonomy and subjectivity, it is as if he has no true self and no complete individual; Real life comes out. Therefore, as a real person, one must have individuality, autonomy, and subjectivity in order to develop a life that truly belongs to oneself. This point of view, or this psychological theory, is a very important point of view in today's Western psychology and philosophy of mind - without the self, people will not have the development of true life. To be able to develop a life that truly belongs to oneself, one must establish a true self and self-subjectivity through self-awareness, that is, to open up one’s self-consciousness, and from the constant self-awareness of self-consciousness. And those who have this true self-subjectivity will definitely know the goal of their life clearly. In this way, they will definitely have perseverance and perseverance in life behavior, because perseverance and perseverance are the easiest to show. It is to move toward true self-realization and self-fulfillment, and this progress in self-realization and self-fulfillment does not change at will. Therefore, Confucius said: "The next generation will be the same, and the top will be the same. No matter what the situation is, it will not change because of it. This is the constant."

And when people don't have this awareness of life, then in life, they will inevitably be involved in the strong biological and survival instincts that people still have, and they will change. How to say this? In order to achieve survival, the maintenance of biological survival is the survival instinct of the biological, and the urge to survive that comes from the biological survival. It is very easy to be tempted by external things. As long as the external things are tempted, our biological Survival instincts change and sway with temptation. For example, we were going to listen to a class today. We were walking on the road and heard the year-end sale of a famous department store, so we couldn't help but take a look, but we couldn't move. After thinking about it: "Just buy it first, then don't use that class for now, and make it up later!"

There is... an Anomalisa (2015), which is performed with cartoon dolls. He talks about a famous writer who has a successful career and is extremely successful and admired, but he is in reality. After all these achievements, suddenly very tired of his life and not enjoying what he has achieved, he feels that in daily life everything seems to be the same - every day, every month, every year, the same events keep repeating , and this has become a great psychological pressure on him. So, he longed to change; but he didn't know how to change, what to change. Therefore, he just wanted to divorce his wife, and hoped that he would have a new emotional development, so as to change his life.

In this state, he happened to be going on a business trip to another city to give a speech. When he got to that city, he felt lonely and unbearable, and he felt very annoyed, so he made a phone call and gave him a lover who used to live here and was in love with him. It might be his first love, but in any case, it was him. An important lover. They were almost getting married, but he ran away before the marriage, and he came here today, he hoped to meet this girl, and at the same time he hoped to continue the relationship.

When he saw the girl, he told his lover that he had never forgotten her, that he missed him day and night, and that it was a lifetime regret not to marry her. It's just that the lady listened to him, but kept asking him: "Why did you leave me suddenly, and disappeared without a word of explanation? Why did it suddenly appear now, and what do you think about every day? Me? What the hell is going on here, why is this, can you give me a reason?" Under this kind of questioning, the man said, "Alas! I really don't know, but I felt very heavy at the time, as if he had everything on his own. He's not ready, what is he afraid of." And the girl asked him, "What about you now?" He didn't answer, but told him that his life was very boring and very lonely, and he seemed to have depression.

Then the male protagonist returned to the hotel, and suddenly heard a clear and pleasant conversation from a girl - that voice suddenly aroused some kind of yearning in his heart. He chased after him uncontrollably, and even poured out his strong enthusiasm uncontrollably. He told the lady that the lady's voice was the voice of his dreams, and that he was willing to marry him for this voice to divorce his wife. . This lady saw him - my God, this is the idol in her heart, to meet here, and to pursue herself now! So accept the pursuit. It's just that when he woke up the next morning, the man's feelings changed again, everything seemed not so good, and it seemed to return to the original track.

This movie seems to directly show that before people have no consciousness of life, everything is changing. People will arouse some kind of fresh feeling anytime and anywhere because of a momentary impulse or the temptation of something, so through this fresh feeling , and then pursue or do something, hoping to gain the happiness brought by life changes from here. However? He was actually still unhappy, life was still the same, and it was still very boring. Life is immutable, life is very boring, not perseverance, perseverance, please pay attention! But what? But because there is no self-awareness of life, you can't be conscious, see the real emotion in life and life, and can't enjoy the emotion of this life, and you will constantly expect new temptations and changes in your heart, so our life is Moving and jumping.
