But a dream

One autumn night, the apprentice woke up crying, and the master asked him, "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No."
"Have you had an unhappy dream?" The
apprentice said, "No, I had a very sweet dream. "
Then why are you still crying?" The
apprentice wiped his tears and said softly, "Because this dream is only a dream!"

No matter how many muscles and expressions Li Bingxian used to adorn himself, his eyes were always like that. Weakness and loss of strength, to borrow an evaluation I have seen before: like a chicken to be slaughtered. It's hard to tell what exactly his eyes remind you of? innocent? Powerless? resignedly? No solution? Regardless of whether it is good or bad, at least, when you see this look, you will think of his name.
The overall grasp of the plot and pacing of the story is closer to the Hollywood approach: the plot is clear and the rhythm is steady. A grasp of the overall story is like a doctor's grasp of a patient's pulse.
It's not a perfect story, but it should be a perfect one. , Whether it is the plot setting, the story structure, or the editing, the shots, all have reached the qualified line. But they can't reach a higher level.
The title and "The Elegant World" belong to the same genre. At first glance, I thought it was the "main melody" content, but after reading the content, I thought it was ironic. After reading it, I felt that the name and the story really matched well. What is a sweet life? Paul Korchagin's answer has been repeated countless times, but how many of them will really make this their standard of living? I've always felt that asking "What is the most important thing in life? What is the happiest moment?" These questions are completely meaningless. Because we are still in society and life at this time, it is impossible to make a conclusive evaluation of something that is closely related to ourselves. If you have to argue about what is the most important thing in life? I think when you are about to leave this world and end this life, what you think of is the most important, at least what you think is the most important.
In fact, in the final analysis, what we can remember in the end, or what we can remember, are only a few pictures. These pictures may be the ones we never forget and remember, or we may never remember them. A smile from her & him, a strand of hair around her ear, a leaf, a pool of blood. The answer to this kind of question is like a long manga, and even the author doesn't know what the story will tell at the end of the story. In terms of time, the protagonist's life cannot be called sweet anyway. Conscientiously, he has been a younger brother under the boss for many years. In the eyes of the boss, he is just a dog who says that if you die, you have to die. And he just felt the sweetness of life, and he was about to die for the woman who made him feel sweet, but he still seemed so far away when he died.
There is a very simple way to evaluate a movie, and that is to see how long you will be immersed in the story after the movie is over, or the story itself, or the thinking and atmosphere brought by the story. The longer you're immersed in it, the better it's a good story. At least, a good story that belongs to you.

do you have a girlfriend
no?
Have you ever been in love? .........You didn't, that's why I entrusted you, and why I like you.
