The world-famous Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh wrote in "One Step, One Lotus":
The meaning of life can only be found in the present.
The dead are gone, and those who come cannot be chased.
If we do not seek the present,
we will never be able to touch the pulse of life.
Come on, what are you waiting for, in this moment, what do you taste in life.
And that's exactly why Malerie tells Carson at the end of the film why she always has a camera with her - it doesn't matter whether you're obsessed with the past or trying to forget it, it's the moment that counts. Later, carson himself said: but what i regreted most was that i lived everyday waiting for my life to begin.
Carson's remarks can be seen as a summary of his own life before. I don't know if you remember the conversation between carson and his grandma, she said that he has changed a lot over the years, his thoughts are very negative, and he always carries a heavy burden to live. At the beginning of the film, when he was a child, he and his grandmother happily discussed the articles he wrote. At that time, his parents had not divorced, his father had not abandoned the family, and his mother had not been addicted to alcohol. At that time, he was happy. There is also a very dramatic scene: when carson ran into the ward excitedly and couldn't wait to tell his grandma that he threatened his classmates to contribute to his magazine, his grandma didn't even know him. I guess the reason is obvious, as she herself said at the beginning, her grandson should look sad, not happy.
With the sudden change, he has become the carson he is now - perverse, unwilling to go home, pretentious, eager to prove himself, the only wish is to get out of that small town as soon as possible, to be an editor of the New Yorker, And become selfish and incompatible with others for their own ideals. Also at the end of the film, he said: He doesn't understand why some people are so indifferent to their ideals. Everyone must remember a conversation between him and the cheerleader, he asked what broke her dream, since when did we stop believing in ourselves? This is the first time the film touched me.
Later, when he found that the goal he was fighting for had passed him by with all his strength, he understood what his grandmother said, just as he said: I also understand, if the rain doesn't fall, the electricity will be turned off at once. Flashing thunder, pouring. For so many years, even if he is not accepted or recognized by others, he does not care, because he has an ideal and a goal in his heart, and that is his only hope. Now this wish has been shattered by reality, and the pain of being forced to apply to Clover Community College can be imagined. He said he had never seen the sea. At that moment, my heart was hit again.
After the biggest blow of his life, at the end of the film, he has an epiphany: I have been so obsessed with self-compassion for so long that I have long forgotten that I have achieved something. It was the first time in his life that he was happy from the bottom of his heart. Although he was unfortunately killed by lightning in the end (囧), I think he should be comforted. After all, he made a difference in some people's lives. The little boy who once dreamed of flying into the blue sky did not fly out of the town of Clover, he failed to become the editor of The New Yorker, and he failed to win the Nobel Prize. But this is not important, the important thing is: a life with ideals, goals, and pursuits is worth living, and it is real and solid.
In the end, Malerie wrote his name to continue his hope and his story. That heartfelt and sincere smile is touching. "Life comes at you fast. It runs through your body and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like lightening."
The carson in the film is a little bit like myself, maverick, a little bit pretentious, maybe that's why this movie has so much to do with me. I have my own ideals, and I look forward to flying out one day, but I find that people around me are laughing at me. The beliefs I have always adhered to are so fragile, as Cason said: I can't even run the school newspaper, and I still What kind of literary magazine are you expecting to do? But the results were often unexpected, and he managed to publish Clover High School's first literary magazine. So, never doubt yourself, when you decide to do something, you have to do it against all odds. Although the result may not be as expected, when you look back at the footprints you have left, you will find that you have always overlooked the achievements along the way.
When I was looking at Baidu's protagonist profile, I found that the creative background of this play can be seen as derived from the personal experience of Chris Colfer (male protagonist) to some extent. She was bullied in high school, and because of her personality and family environment, she was reluctant to talk too much about being bullied with her family. The film more or less alludes to his past and present life. Gossip about an inconsequential little detail, Carson said when he captured Nicolas and Scott alive in the men's room on Brokeback Mountain: I don't want everyone to go through the pain of being forced to come out. . . i laugh
