No genius, only trash

Why do so many artistic geniuses die young? Because they are so sensitive that they can't bear it. This kind of sensitivity is used to engage in music, painting, writing and even filming, and it can make people shine brightly. Its repercussions will extend into the minutiae of life and eventually overwhelm you. Because I personally believe that all creations are subjective, I will not discuss whether this documentary truly restores Curt's life or fragments of his life. Looking at it purely as a video work, it successfully conveys what it wants to express. It is a pity that Nirvana's drummer and Cobain's children did not face the camera more, which is a little disappointing for spectators who want to rely on this film to spy on their privacy. But the gifts of diaries and home videos are already satisfying and worth a burp. Cobain's life in the movie is a state of falling into autism and unable to float from the beginning. The divorce of his parents and the loneliness that no one had adopted for a long time during the rebellious period made his sensitive senses more and more like a sharp knife. This knife cannot cut others, it can only cut itself. Those wriggling stomachs are one of the sources of pain. Stomach pain and high mental tension must be related. Two love experiences, coupled with the resistance to the outside world, make the condition of depressed patients the source of creation. Cobain couldn't live without this painful potion, and drug use was nothing more than a way of perpetuating this pain. A person can only take himself out when he is crying, so Cobain is in this state of forcing himself to cry all year round. In the imaginary reality, this blond man who smashed things as soon as he came on stage destroyed everything around him so that he could sit down and sing a song quietly. The constant reports of the media give people the illusion of a clown performance. Titles like great singer or rock god really are shit on the head, and the gunshot at the end of suicide is part of the music. What this ending song declares is suicide itself, not some bullshit "it's better to burn calmly than to survive". Do you believe this? Isn't suicide a way to survive? Is suicide the same as burning with ease? Is Cobain taking it easy? He's always been an ADHD and anxious trash, music is trash, trash is a mental shackle he can't get rid of. Now this waste is still waste, piled up like garbage in the documentary, you can smell it, does it smell like youth?
