Not a comment - finding the reality of existence is a false proposition

I can’t find my self-identity, I can’t feel the connection with reality, I’m driving my car, watching and taking pictures, taking countless photos, comparing the images and reality anxiously, talking about myself, listening to myself, and thinking that I can The person who communicates rambles about himself, isolated from the rest of the world. Trying hard to find and think, to grasp the real sense of existence, to find meaning, but it is always like being caught in the gray gap between pressing the shutter of the Polaroid and the image presented, and there is nothing.

Loli, who has to take over, seems to be blocking everything, and she must find a place to put her as soon as possible before she can continue to find her own answers. Getting more anxious after failing to find Loli's grandmother. "Do you think I like to walk around with a little girl, I have a lot of things to do." "You have something to do, but you just keep writing and drawing on paper!" You want to find the real sense of existence, but you isolate yourself from this sense of reality with blind pursuit and thinking. an infinite loop.

Until Loli, who was still in the police station, ran back to her side again, the reason was simply and rudely "things in the police station are too unpalatable", and finally laughed. Loli took out the photo of her grandmother's house, which made it seem easier to follow the picture. Unfortunately, when reality and photos match, the answer is still wrong. The direction is completely lost, and the purpose is finally discarded: "Let's go swimming". Finally, the noise of always asking for something is gone, and the aimless journey begins. But the search is coming to an end.

In fact, in the end, I'm not sure how the male protagonist made the decision, and whether there will be wondering every three to five, probably still, but at least, temporarily, I feel a little real.

Above, the result is only muttering about his various oversubstitutions and some brain supplements.

    It is highly recommended to the male mother lovers on the homepage. The German male mother is unexpectedly gentle. Although it is very good to rush, it will not hurt to the head because of the undisciplined and depressive atmosphere... It's far away, cough ( I watched Wenders two This work, I feel like he is a person who likes broken thoughts? Especially the aimless roaming at the beginning, watching billboards, drinking a drink, taking a photo, and complaining from time to time, very fragmented and fragmented life fragments but also It's very true. When I live in a city where life is very plain and ordinary, the impression of the city in my memory is incomplete and fragmented. I listen to songs on the road and reminisce about the plot of a movie or a certain passage in a book, I think so Life is happiness... Obviously the two protagonists of the film are lonely, one is a foreign land, the other is abandoned by their mother, they are eager to communicate and meet each other. I always believe that there is no eternal protection between people, more Walking with you for a period of time, this person may be taciturn, may be a writer, may not be in the same city as you, or may go the opposite way with you, these are not important, the important thing is that he did not speak in the middle of the night during that time. nightmare

Alice in the Cities quotes

  • Lisa - Alice's Mother: Would you wait with us? Otherwise, I don't know how I'll stand it.

    Philip 'Phil' Winter: I can do that, but I'm not very entertaining.

    Lisa - Alice's Mother: You could be mute for all I care.

  • Philip 'Phil' Winter: I got completely lost. It was a horrible journey. Once you leave New York City nothing changes anymore. It all looks the same. You can't imagine anything anymore. Above all, you can't imagine any change. I became estranged from myself. All I could imagine was going on and on like this forever. Some nights, I was sure I would go back the next morning. But then I'd keep on driving, listening to that vulgar radio and every night in a motel that looked just like all the others before. I'd watch that barbarous television. I didn't know what hit me.

    Angela - Friend in New York: You haven't known that for a long time now. You don't have to travel across America for that. That happens when you lose all sense of your own self. And you lost that long ago. That's why you always need proof, proof you still exist. Your stories and your experiences - you treat them like raw eggs. As if you were the only one to experience things. And that's why you keep taking pictures. They're something you can hold on to, more evidence that it was you who saw these things.
