God damn

In the middle of the night, hiding under the duvet in the bedroom, I finished watching this movie. After reading it, I can't help but feel relieved, because it is too difficult to do. First of all, there are a lot of professional terms in it. I haven't read the novel, so it's more troublesome. And, unfortunately, I took my broken IPOD to look at it for more than a month, and the locations were distributed in the bus, library, bedroom, toilet... Most of the time I looked at the back and forgot the front. The origin of this incident, when I finally saw it, couldn't help but be a little funny. Some casual words caused the final tragedy. you should try…. That's what Beth heard before she killed her mother (the grandmother in the book).
The knowledge involved in this film is too advanced. The only thing of interest is that the Oxford scene inside is not bad. After all, this place is the dream of many people. Forgive my ignorance.

The Oxford Murders quotes

  • Arthur Seldom: There is no way of finding a single absolute truth, an irrefutable argument which might help answer the questions of mankind. Philosophy, therefore, is dead, because whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must be silent.

  • Arthur Seldom: Since man is incapable of reconciling mind and matter, he tends to confer some sort of entity on ideas because he cannot bear the notion that the purely abstract only exists in our brain. "The beauty and harmony of a snowflake" - how sweet. "The butterfly that flutters his wings and causes a hurricane on the other side of the world" - we've been hearing about that damn butterfly for decades, but who has been able to predict a single hurricane? Nobody! Tell me something. Where is the beauty and harmony in cancer? What makes a cell suddenly decide to turn itself into a killer, metastasis and destroy the rest of the cells in a healthy body? Does anybody know? No! Because we'd rather think of snowflakes and butterflies than of pain, war, or that book. Why? Because we need to think that life has meaning, that everything is governed by logic and not by mere chance. If I write 2 then 4 then 6, then we feel good because we know that next comes 8. We can foresee it. We are not in the hands of destiny. Unfortunately, however, this has nothing to do with truth. Don't you agree? This is only fear. Sad... but there you go.
