Ideal and reality again? (my biggest contradiction)

I couldn't help but ask myself a question while watching this film, what's new about this film, we've been talking about idealism and realism, things that change and things that don't change, why do we It happens that this movie is still needed to educate us to continue thinking about these issues. This is exactly the same as the book in this movie "Copy as is", indeed, from many perspectives, the central idea of ​​this movie is just copying people's thinking about things since ancient times, but its existence does not Makes people feel redundant. As the heroine said, what we need is a perspective, not content. Perhaps since ancient times, we have been eager to come to a conclusion on this philosophical issue, but our hearts are hard to let go, and we want to have both. Inner conflict prompts us to keep trying, to be curious, to see if there is something to learn from various perspectives.
The original copy is such a film full of contradictions and put it into Schrödinger's box. It seems that until the end of the film, we have not reached a conclusion, making the audience feel like being poured cold water, every moment. A reminder that we need to embrace the contradictions and changes in our lives. During the viewing process, I was amazed to find how similar my thinking and the male protagonist are. Over the years, I have become accustomed to changes, and even accepted and embraced all the changes in life. Romanticism seems to be a childish existence. , we cannot cling to our past selves and others and pretend that everything is the same. In many ways, this thought gave me great comfort, and I finally felt peace of mind after all these years. But the heroine's point of view is the opposite. She emphasizes that through hard work, we can turn the situation around and bring some things, emotions, and relationships back to the way they were. I am in awe of her courage and persistence. She has her own ideals and is willing to strive for them. And I can't do it. The heroine said in the movie that people become so realistic because they are afraid of being hurt. She is right, accepting reality is the best self-protection.
At this point, I still don't know how to face life. Both of them are right and wrong, and life is not so simple that it can be easily divided into black and white. All lives are copies of this philosophical question, and the film reminds those optimists and pessimists, or realists and idealists, of each other, and reminds us not to rush and not to Think more, enjoy everything in front of you, be sad when you should be sad, be happy when you should be happy, live the life we ​​ought to live.
