out of place

Watched last night - "the.wackness" (the.wackness), woke up in the morning and watched it again; I really thought it was a very good movie.

Two men who are out of tune with the materialistic world of the United States, one is over 500 years old, and the other has just graduated from high school. Faced with the same situation, but in a completely different way. Who is the psychiatrist for whom? Ha ha. In my opinion, the.wackness in the film should be those people who searched hard for the mistakes of the past, but got nothing.

The psychiatrist, who has passed most of his life, seems to have lost himself in such a world, searching for something, at a loss. Maybe he chose to adapt to this society at the beginning, but he didn't succeed, so he felt that the current life itself was a mistake. And Luke, at least from the harsh and dirty environment around him, can control himself rationally. Although he sells drugs, he does not use drugs. Although he is disappointed, he is not desperate. When you find yourself out of place in the world around you, choosing to change yourself, adapt to the environment, or choose to leave can be a headache. Especially the last paragraph, walk into the elevator, put on your headphones. Especially shocking, I would rather be abandoned by the world than abandon myself.
Maybe everyone has to face such and other problems in life, constantly wear and tear themselves, and slowly learn some hypocritical and artificial skills. Turning around and facing the unspoken loneliness.

This movie is really good. I wonder when will China be able to make a movie that deeply reflects the life of ordinary people in society. It has no twists and turns, no joys and sorrows, but it is still moving and exciting.

The Wackness quotes

  • Dr. Squires: It used to be you could lick a sheet of acid, hold up a band, fuck a whore in Times Square without anyone batting an eyelash. Now, one blunt, we're in the clink. This whole city's fucked!

  • Dr. Squires: It's great, living. Get your heart broken, find yourself face down in the gutter, get your balls sucked, make a real mess of a life.
