There was a moment when I wanted to turn off the video, but I stopped when I saw Kevin Spacey. Since I don't remember him in Henry and Joan, I think it might be another movie. When I looked at it, I remembered, this is indeed the "Henry and Joan" I watched, Kevin didn't show his face a few times, is this the reason why he forgot?
After confirming that Kevin was not the protagonist, I wanted to shut down again. At this time, I saw the scene of Henry watching the movie, fascinated, and I immediately decided to finish it.
It was Henry's fascination with the movie that touched me and made me quiet down and watch the movie. If there are a few people in this world that I especially love, Henry is one of them. I often think that if Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Kafka, they have provided me with a perspective and a way of thinking about everything, then Henry is the person who resonates with me the most. A few days ago, I saw a person on Weibo saying that it is meaningless for people to exist when they feel messy. I disagree very much. To me, if messiness is a kind of commitment to oneself after self-selection, it means a lot! Henry was messy for a large part of the time, he was down and out, unemployed, addicted to alcoholism, self-indulgent, rebellious, arrogant...all of which are real, all of which are not true as a person who regards freedom as the highest value. own destiny.
Perhaps, only the weight of freedom in the heart can be felt like Henry? If so I'm glad I did.
It's a pity that I haven't seen a Henry-related movie that I've enjoyed so far. The same is true for this film. It only focuses on the split and integration between them, and the opening of Paris at that time. Probably the director thinks that only this can attract attention? This erotic vision will make everything worthwhile worthless, further deepening the impression that Henry is a pornographic writer. This film does this. But unfortunately, I will not change my opinion of Henry. I am confident that the real Henry has nothing to do with pornography. The real Henry, like Wang Xiaobo, is only about fun and wisdom.
