Sing a sad song and make yourself happy

Many postmodern films are somewhat unacceptable, but I like this film from the bottom of my heart, the youth, love and growth of young people during the Vietnam War in the United States.
In order to find who i am Max dropped out of Princeton University, Jude, a rock singer, an Indian girl who smuggled from the UK to the United States to find his biological father, gathered in New York for various reasons. In the context of the Vietnam War, the performance and fate of each individual in the domestic student movement and the anti-war wave were embedded in the so-called pop art form, representing the transition from modern to post-modern.
For me, this postmodern film made me touch for the first time the so-called world chaos and loneliness that postmodern artists actively promote. For the universe, a hundred years of life is nothing but a mayfly, but for an individual, it is so long and so lonely that it makes people almost desperate. In this vast world, I meet the person I love, how happy, and how scared, We face war, separation, life and death together, and the slightest disagreement can lead us to part ways. The end seems to be a big reunion, but the world is still like that. Will the road ahead be a vicious circle?
The name of this film is better translated into "Crossing the Sky", there is a kind of fearless and courageous and courageous.
In the film, Max persuades Jude not to be sad, saying "sing a sad song and make yourself happy", which seems to be a paradox. But when you think about it, it really makes sense - if you don't have to grit your teeth and endure with all your strength when you are sad, isn't it happiness? If it is really like Wei Zhuang, don't talk about the Ming Dynasty in front of the bottle, and hehe when he meets wine, then it will be so lonely that people can't breathe.

Across the Universe quotes

  • Jude: What is that place?

    Prankster: The headquarters of the league of spiritual deliverance!

    Dr. Robert: The home of Dr. Gary, another outlaw, like myself. We're navigators, we're aviators, we're eatin' tators, masturbatin' alligators, bombardiers, we got no fears, we don't shed no tears, we're pushin' the frontiers... of transcendental perception. What's weird is, we haven't met yet, on this or any other plane.

    Prankster: Hey doc, he says he won't see you, man.

    Dr. Robert: Why, is he sick?

    Prankster: He just said he's busy.

    Dr. Robert: Did you tell that

    [sniff]

    Dr. Robert: sonofabitch that we drove 3,000 miles to see him? Alright, everybody back on the bus. We're going home, to California.

    Max: Doc, California isn't home to all of us.

    Dr. Robert: What can I say? You're either on the bus, or off the bus.
