Take a breath, we can always find joy and resonance in this world occasionally.
When I live, I always make myself suffocated. For so many, when I am hurt, when I am sad, I only think about myself. In fact, the so-called face, once again, is a way of self-deception, suppressing oneself, controlling oneself, in exchange for recognition in social relations, in exchange for a proof and manifestation of self-worth to live.
Our choices about love and life are involuntarily self-controlling for a long time when we grow up, so sometimes, we don’t even bother to think about what we really want. What we can pursue and choose is what. Our growth is filled with family needs, parental needs and social needs. When I woke up one day, I found that most of the life around us was a foregone conclusion, and found that the grades that we should be free have been swept away in the long river of time.
The most enjoyable part of the movie is that the protagonist is desperate, throwing aside all the eyes and pressures around him, even no longer thinking about survival, and rushing to his truest self. At that moment, the blood boiling in the little heart cannot be described in words, everyone must have experienced it.
Whether it was Todd in "The World Is Flat" who gave up his high-paying overseas life and returned to Chicago quietly and calmly; or in "Face", Xiaowei rushed into her mother's wedding, loudly pointed out her mother's love, and then met Vivian. Embrace the dance floor and fuck everybody just kiss. People who have been hurt in love, people who are oppressed by forced marriage and desperate for their love life and sex life, at this moment, they unconsciously make themselves incarnate in that scene, relaxed Take a breath.
But the fact is that in a family, homosexuality, a love affair with a difference of more than 20 years old, a widow in her 50s suddenly became pregnant, only one of the stories in "Face" is enough to bear, not to mention all the inclusions like in the movie. together. To be honest, it is still a blessing that Xiao Wei's grandfather passed away without having a heart attack (perhaps once again advocating for the elderly to practice Tai Chi).
In fact, life will not be as beautiful as the ending of "Face", and it will not be as happy as the ending of the film, because life is too difficult, because people are too depressed and painful, so the most important thing is that we become the talk of others, and some people, It will become our conversation material again. In these tireless conversations, we have lost face and saved face. For example, Xiaowei's grandfather, the gags make us feel the warmth and the old man's helpless choice to accept, but everyone knows that his food is actually hard to swallow. At this moment, whose face is he protecting, and what kind of face? Or use this acceptance to complete the face that he has maintained throughout his life.
Walking on the street, even if you don’t dress well, you have to be decent, this is face; when you
gather with friends, even if you are still a teenager with a rental car loan, you still have to talk about how comfortable your life is made by everything you temporarily own. , this is face;
when you meet with your lover’s friends, even if you are still drowsy, you can’t wait to pinch your thighs, but you still smile stiffly, this is face;
when shopping, the shopping guide lady is warm and thoughtful. In the compliments and services of the South and the North, I am embarrassed to choose the items that I generally like, this is my face; I
have to tighten my pants and belts every time I eat only noodles and rice, and I have to buy hundreds of thousands of cosmetics and clothes for my girlfriend. , I squeezed the bus and subway to the point of respiratory failure and my girlfriend will definitely call for a taxi when I go out. This is my face;
my husband and wife still have different dreams in different beds. Put on your coat and pour a glass of warm water, this is face; in
the face of an unscrupulous boss, you still have to be respectful even if your teeth are itchy
In my heart, I scolded him with a thousand cuts, this is a face. . . . . . . .
There are many more, we have too many names for face,
dignity and
education are not common
knowledge ,
style ,
position
, status
Taste
God, how long do we have to work ourselves out?
If you can still laugh, why don't you forget your face at the moment of laughter, even if you laugh to tears, you are the most true yourself.
