Who dares to say this is not a real man?

Women can't understand this film, just like women can't understand real men.
Most men don't understand it very well, but there are a small number of men who will definitely understand it very well.
As long as the meaning is clear, it is a good director and a good screenwriter.

------------------------------------------------

listen to me Say, you will know what kind of man is a real man.



It started with the conversation at Jimmy's house when Ben was beaten.
This dialogue is not a dialogue, but a confession of my life.

He said,
"It's none of your business if I see a doctor or not? And don't talk nonsense about friendship.
We haven't seen each other in thirty years, okay? That's where we're different. Tell you where your friends are, it's when you're in the middle, you know, the comfort environment, everyone is about the same, in the middle of the circle, but you're alone in your peaks and valleys. I'm on Forbes magazine, right, I'm on my own. I've also made the business headlines of Time magazine, but in handcuffs.
I made it myself. Please, they cater to you, flatter you, actually They can't wait to kill you. To be more specific, kill me to take my place. I have also been in court, and the people around me are sighing. Do you know what Ben's head is thinking? Actually, they don't care at all.

" It is a profound summary of human nature, and the experience from practice is universally applicable. Why is there such a monologue, don't others know? No, it was because he saw such human nature for no reason, his disappointment and helplessness towards human nature, but the emotion that could not be changed, and only those whose hearts were still pure and yearning would think about why this happened. He is eager to get the love of others who care about others, he also loves others, he hopes that everyone is equal and does not deceive each other. No matter in the peak or the trough, there will be friends to support. He desires sincerity. Well, he wouldn't believe and couldn't believe it all.

Can Jimmy understand what he's saying? "It's hard to be confused, it's hard to be confused."
Ben said, "I just don't know how to learn from you, Jimmy, I don't know when to start."

For his wife, the one he loves so much.
He said
"When I can't give, all I can do is leave."
Who can understand how deep this love is? how long? The sky is so high and the sea is so vast. A real man does not need others to understand. He loves in his own way and buries it deeply in his heart. Why? Because he understands human nature, it's just a transaction, no one is not for profit, especially getting married and having children, look at the blind date, the house, the car, the education and the salary. Because I love her, I give it to her, and if I can't afford it, I just leave silently. He knows this deeply, his love is strong and paranoid, but he would rather be hurt himself. He doesn't demand anything from others, but only demands from himself. A real man will only blame himself, not others.

----------------------------------------

Let's talk about teaching Cheston's otaku to pick up girls .
He said:
"If you don't come, then I'll tell you a story. When I came here for the first time, I wasn't the top student you said. I've never been invited to a place like this. I was working again at that time. I'm not naive either. I'm afraid of seeing many things, especially girls. In the English composition class, there was a beautiful woman named Jennifer Angel sitting in front of me. I stared at her neck every day, and occasionally she would turn her head. , i can see her face, she's so pretty, smart and neat, cheston, i want to do the nastiest thing with him, but i just can't figure it out. just don't have the guts to date her. to me She was out of reach, a few days later, I was at work, bartender at a college event, and there was a guy on the squash team, who asked me for a tonic, he had a backache, and I asked why, he was right I said it was all because of Jennifer Angel, and I asked him how, Chessington, his answer was like a left fist from Bridge Frazier. Hit me in the stomach, he said, I got her, Pushing hard, she begged me to push harder, and finally push so hard, my bed collapsed and my waist flashed. I was speechless in front of that guy, and I blushed, but I don't normally blush. But you know what? That was the best thing that ever happened to me. Knowing what kind of person she was, knowing her nature, I didn't hesitate to start a conversation with her, and a week later, it was my turn to be in bed It's going to collapse."

Do you want to believe this is true? Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. And I cried, every sentence hua was engraved in my heart.

Chessington was Ben's former self, and when he saw himself like this when he was young, he wanted to help him. So spare no effort. So when Chessington's girlfriend said to him, "He's gentle, handsome, smart, humorous, and steals you ten thousand times over." Ben replied, I used to be too, Britney, that's not forever. Later, he pleaded guilty and said, "I made a mistake, child, I will correct it now. You gave me the shirt, but I never gave you back what you lent me. It is possible that in other ways, you Misunderstood me, he may be a good girl, forgot to tell you about good girls, they are different. And very rarely, once you find a good girl, don't waste it. I guess yes, you are also a good one boy."

What is a real man? The first is a sincere man who dares to act, never hides, and needs no explanation. He didn't have the so-called arrogance. When facing Chessington, he just treated each other with sincerity and equality. Even without the pretense of seniors, someone has been on Forbes anyway. All successful people are ordinary people of temperament, with firm will and firm belief. This is not a movie.

Ben was also a diaosi, once fantasized about a goddess, and once masturbated, feeling inferior and full of ambition. Have you experienced this feeling? I have experienced, deeply, exactly the same. Ben has known the hardships of life and the warmth of human relationships since he was a child, "I am not the top student you said, I have never been invited to such a place."

The difference between a diaosi and a pure diaosi is that a pure diaosi just looked at it, comforted himself, went with the flow, and then didn't have the courage to move forward. After reading it, Diaosi will find a way. Through her unremitting efforts, she sees hope in the face of adversity, turns the disadvantage into the advantage, and makes her turn my bed to collapse. This is a real man. How many times will there be ridicule, how many times will there be failures, how many times will self-encouragement, self-struggle and self-climbing, no one will help you, only yourself. What a shit friend, what a deep friendship, I don't have that leisurely mood. I'm in Forbes, right, I'm on my own. I also made the headlines in the business section of Time magazine, but in handcuffs. This is caused by myself.
Everything is on your own.

Can I say that such a diaosi is a tall, rich and handsome person who will not be defeated in the near future?

I don't believe in women, I don't believe in others, I don't even believe in doctors, I only believe in myself. Right and wrong are their own. Because I believed, I failed because I believed, and I never succeeded because I believed. You can achieve everything only by yourself, and you will die in your own hands.
good or not? This is life.
In fact, it is not so extreme. He still believes that there is always a warm place in the world. Even if 90% of women are prostitutes, there are still 10% of women who have integrity. He will apologize to Chessington and say, okay Girls are different. And rarely, once you find a good girl, don't spoil it. I guess yes, you're a nice boy too.

Just in terms of probability, believe in yourself and don't believe in others.
This is the good and the bad of this life.
So this is a lonely person.
What he wanted in his life, he never wanted in his life.
lonely person.

Everyone misunderstood him and did not understand him.
This is loneliness.

Finally, I want to say that from the beginning to the end, he didn't hurt others, he just wanted to help others, he just forcefully helped others make the right decision, but others didn't appreciate it. Let's see, what he told Chessington, what he told the rich woman's daughter, what he told his daughter, what he told his son-in-law, what he told him to be kind, what he told his grandson to play games, everyone. He never thought of hurting others, he just told others what he thought was right, and others hated him for it.

How he engages with women is his life choice. If he insists on the worldly saying that his character is bad, who decides his character? When the rich woman's daughter played with him, he asked him, "You are mad at me." He replied Said, "Fortunately, no, the boxer was beaten, but you can't blame the fist too hard." A real man always puts the blame on himself and doesn't blame others. It's not that he is willing to admit defeat, but that he believes in the wrong person, and he is willing. If his wife cheats, he won't blame her, it's a personal choice, you can disagree, you can't disrespect.

Solitary Man quotes

  • [last lines]

    Nancy Kalmen: When was the first time that a doctor sent you for a heart scan? Hospital called you. Called your daughter.

    Ben Kalmen: Uh, Dr. Steinberg ordered up that test about six and a half years ago.

    Nancy Kalmen: And how long after that did you start cheating?

    Ben Kalmen: That day.

    Nancy Kalmen: And you never went back to have the test done, did you?

    Ben Kalmen: No. Cant use that as an excuse though. It was a factor. But, uh, you know, things were building up.

    Nancy Kalmen: Building up?

    Ben Kalmen: Yeah. I was becoming invisible.

    Nancy Kalmen: [confused] Invisible?

    Ben Kalmen: Look, thirty years ago I would walk into a room, that room would change just because I was there. It was, you know, I was a graduate, self-made man, great shape. I had the TV commercials, all that stuff. I remember. I was right next to the camera when you shot them. You know what it was like back then, I was a lion. That's how people looked at me. But then, you know, things started to change. And over the, uh, past ten or twelve years, I'd walk into a room and only old people noticed me, they knew who I am. And to everybody else Im invisible.

    Nancy Kalmen: You were never invisible to me.

    Ben Kalmen: Well, that doesnt count because you were my wife.

    Nancy Kalmen: Oh? Well. You know what, Benny? If you're lucky, that's what happens. You get old.

    Ben Kalmen: No, I accept it's biological. I just don't accept that it happened to me. So, when, uh, Steinberg said he thought he saw something on the EKG, I got nervous. And when he called up the heart scan, uh, to see if there was any blockage. I had every intention of walking out of his office and going right there to check on it. But instead? Instead I went into a bar and grill on Lexington Avenue had a couple of pops to calm down and, uh, I picked up the first young girl who said yes and took her back to a suite at the Carlyle.

    Nancy Kalmen: And what did that do for you?

    Ben Kalmen: The truth...? It did plenty. See, I figured you'd see it on my face, you'd know straight off. But you didnt. You didn't say anything, you know. So, I kept right on going. And then, uh, you know, awhile after that Im up in my shop at white plains looking at the books. And I say to myself, why should I be New York's honest car dealer? Then again, nobody said anything. Nothing for years. But you know, I, I still don't understand why you... you didn't go back and have the test just to make sure. I'm gonna go to a doctor and give him that kind of power? The, the when, the where and the how? There's no, theres no way. You know what its like when we get our age. The best thing a doctor can say is, uh, well, "Oh, the survival rate is high"... or, uh, "it''s a good cancer", or... uh, hey, you know, no problem. "We got it early." I dont wanna hear any of that. And I wasn't gonna go get some of those, uh... those, those beta blockers and all that crap that slow you down and level you out. I was gonna live my life the way I wanted to until the fucking thing in my heart exploded.

    Nancy Kalmen: But you cant cheat death, Benny. Nobody can, no matter how many 19-year-olds you talk into your bed.

    Ben Kalmen: I know that. I know that now.

    Nancy Kalmen: Well... my car's parked over there. And I'd be happy to drive you back to New York City... if you're ready. Take a few minutes and you decide what you really want.

  • Susan Porter: You're gonna be okay.

    Ben Kalmen: You came to see me?

    Susan Porter: Yeah.

    Ben Kalmen: You're gold, Suse. You're... pure gold.
