I'm afraid of feeling nothing, preferring to have a feeling that will last forever. Even if it hurts.

Between the worlds of the living and the dead, there is a place you're not supposed to stay…



On the DVD cover of "stay", the above sentence is written.

I think this is probably an idea the director wants to express. This movie cannot be said to be perfect, but it is worth watching. From start to finish, there are some things the movie doesn't explain, some logical loopholes, but that doesn't affect the overall feel of the movie to the audience.

The DVD translation of "stay" I watched had some problems, many translations were not quite right, and the English subtitles were all wrong, which made people speechless. Had to exercise my hearing. From start to finish, I think this line (The world is an illusion.) sums up the movie quite a bit.

"—What had happening to us?

—The world has not right or wrong. The world is an illusion."

The world is an illusion. After watching the whole movie, I found that it was an illusion. In fact, after watching it for a long time, it was nothing.

Before watching "stay", I watched a boring movie, it was so boring, I couldn't keep watching it. I fast-forwarded by 1 minute, and no one was moving. It was too boring to shoot the same house for one minute~~~

So, maybe it was a comparison, and I thought "stay" was pretty good. hehe.

Perhaps, the director and I have very similar views on certain things, so it feels good to watch the film. I always think, maybe the world is an illusion, wake up, sleep, maybe it won't be the same anymore.

In that favorite poem "Jinse", there is such a sentence "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of being a fan of butterflies". A word, if you write too much and keep reading it, you will feel it is not like this word. hallucinations.

In "stay (stay)", the dialogue between the two male protagonists, Ewan MCGregor said to Ryan Gosling, "When you first met, you said that no one knew what the truth was. At the time I said I knew. Now I know I'm wrong. What

is real, what is real. Nobody knows. If it is a dream, others are your imagination, and you are someone else's imagination. Waking up from the dream, neither you nor others exist, who knows.

Real, too real and sometimes unreal. What you hold in your hand doesn't mean you won't lose it. Perhaps, it is the uncertainty of life that determines life.

In that hallucination, Ryan Gosling had "forgive me" written all over the room on the back of his paintings. He wants to be forgiven for his own mistakes. So, have a long dream.

In that hallucination, the love between Ewan MC Grego and Naomi Watts is light. Ewan MC Grego to Naomi Watts, after tonight, no matter what happens, I hope you remember, I love you. Standing in the phone booth outside the window of Naomi Watts' studio, Ewan MC Grego with the phone said to Naomi Watts.

Wang Xiaobo's "I greet the dawn on a lonely island" said, "When I die, all feeling will stop, and I will disappear into chaos. I am afraid of feeling nothing, and I would rather have a feeling that will exist forever. .Even if it hurts." Fear feels nothing. Pain, even pain, proves that existence is good.

hallucinations. Look for.

There are uncertainties in life. So, just need to be sure.

I remember an English proverb, All's well that ends well. However, so many people are pursuing the process. I don't know if this is a helpless move, because the result cannot be determined, so the process can only be maintained. I have no idea.

Between the worlds of the living and the dead, there is a place you're not supposed to stay…
