the woman behind the dreamer

This is a great movie.
The one who touched me the most was Fitz's lover. The two shared dreams and passions, and faced the indifference and ridicule of others together. What more could you ask for such a lover? Even if the drunken boat of fate is smashed to pieces by the frantic waves, at least they know that there will be a warm harbor where they can dock, at least with intimate understanding and consolation.
I think the great dreamer needs a support from the earth, so that when he flies, he does not inevitably fall due to gravity.
Nietzsche said that women have a natural work - a child, so they will not be blank and empty, while a man will wander around, creating his own works.
From the perspective of species evolution, females are the masters of the earth, and males appear to contribute more kinds of genes. So do humans. So a man must like change, which is determined by the genes of his parents. On the other hand, a woman has complex feelings for a man. As the star of the small galaxy of the family, she hopes that a man will be ambitious but cannot escape her orbit, so she uses invisible gravity to pull the man, properly leaving and returning properly. .

    Thirty years later, this movie still retains a certain specificity, it refuses to be classified, and it is impossible to be classified. It only represents the creation of a movie, and the thing itself is born out of nothing.
