At the beginning of the movie, the background of David is explained, and the two people also talked about David's background in the conversation. A middle-class young angry youth and a rural teacher, the two people are too shy to say anything in their solemn conversation. Both want to live a real life, be honest with themselves, be rational, not indulge in sensual pleasures, act from the heart, and not procrastinate, or so. However, the paths of the two people to achieve this goal are different. David hopes to obtain a form of detachment through suffering, so he keeps testing Wallace, hoping to find the way he has suffered and achieve detachment, while Wallace restrains To show his life, constantly revealing his ordinary side, and let David understand that this is the real him. Of course, Wallace concealed something. In the face of enormous pressure, drugs and alcohol undoubtedly helped him when he became famous and lost his way at a young age. He thought that those were just assistants, so he concealed it until the last moment. He hone himself in life. , immersing yourself in the daily chores, trying to be authentic.
The ending is actually logical, and it is impossible for everyone to be Sisyphus. I think in the end David was deeply touched because he was also writing, having been close to Wallace in his life, and finally understood what he was going through. I think a writer who can make readers have this kind of touch is already a great success.
The relationship between the two is very interesting. At first, David met Wallace. The two started chatting about trivial matters on the first night. David started to attack, hoping to find out that Wallace was a manic man or something. As a result, Wallace divided him very nicely the next morning. Half a sandwich (cute!). The two set foot on the traveling book fair, and David continued to observe, trying to find the flaws that Wallace revealed because of fame and fortune, but without success. After the book fair, he met Wallace's ex-girlfriend, and David began to observe again (233), but found that Wallace was also an ordinary person troubled by love, and the editor-in-chief urged him, so the two quarreled. In the end David made a last ditch effort to explore Wallace's house, I think by this time he must have discovered something like an antidepressant, but more of a normal single man's den bedroom and bathroom, Wallace The clerk is just an ordinary person. In the end David finally believed that Wallace was not gifted or experienced, he was just using the hardest way to hone his mind and write a book.
I love Jesse Eisenberg's a lot, but I have to say that I think his character is hesitant, not fanciful enough, and not sharp enough. It's Jason Segel, mom, he's so good, there's a strange agility to the one-nine-two-meter, Wallace looks jealous and gloomy when David talks to his ex-girlfriend, and The two expressions of dancing happily at the end are so good.
As for tempering oneself to achieve detachment in daily life, I can't tell. "Transcendence" and "True Detective" are the films I have seen that clearly explain this matter.
