"The Art Of Getting By" captured my heart with an ordinary story. So similar, Geroge's situation in the movie is so similar to that of more 18-year-olds. And the purpose of this film may be to remind many lost stars how to go in the future.
"We're born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."
"we live alone, we die alone .Everything else is just an illusion ."
"It used to keep me up at night .we all die alone."
"We live alone, die alone, life is nothing but nothing. So why should I fight, try, no more Friends, no amount of girlfriends can avoid my eventual death, my life should be more meaningful."
----Have you finished your homework? Geroge?
----No, I'm frustrated. why? Because I realized that one day I would die. The fact that I'm going to die keeps playing in my mind. Everything in the world has become meaningless, and unfortunately, homework is included.
These neurotic words and thoughts of Geroge, although obviously full of immaturity, reflect the confused and sensitive psychology of almost all 18-year-old children.
And these are not just hypocritical or contrived, on the contrary, they are sad, with how much desolate and pathetic.
You are alive, healthy, healthy, safe, and cold, but you have no meaning in life, no goals, and of course no ideals, and no future. You just live.
18 years old, a season when God brings the true colors of life to the fore.
No one will worry too much about you missing you, happy and sad about whether you are happy or not.
Sometimes, you keep asking yourself, do you still exist in this world? Does the world still embrace you?
There is no superfluous presence.
I'm used to being alone, walking through the endless streets, passing by thousands of lights, occasionally stopping in the vast and desolate, eyes blurred, I don't have to think about anything, just hold a cigarette or hold a can of beer as if holding it the whole world.
The sorrow of youth is like a bitter olive, stuck in the throat, unable to swallow.
In fact, "Young people don't know the taste of sorrow, and they say it for the sake of new words" is not entirely correct. The ancients were somewhat utilitarian. Sometimes, it is precisely the sorrow of youth that determines a person's life, a lifetime, or the reincarnation of several lifetimes.
Sally wasn't the reason Geroge got up, but she was what motivated Geroge to get up. Sally was a ray of sunlight, illuminating Geroge's dusty window. It was this sunshine that gave Geroge the hope for life. Because Sally said that Geroge was her only real friend, and she needed that friend badly. Two stars who are also lonely and confused and in the same situation meet, and friendship inevitably leads to mellow love.
But what really made Geroge, this talented but confused star, break free from helplessness and confusion and struggle again, is being needed by life and discovering the meaning of his existence.
Geroge doesn't do his homework, he doesn't get a diploma, and in the end he hurts his mother, who has been divorced once and is about to divorce again and is bankrupt.
Geroge, who has always been cheeky, cried for a long time in the principal's room, weeping under the dim street lights on the street corner, and weeping together with the red-eyed mother's heart.
A heavy blow gently hugged Geroge from behind. The originally peaceful life has taken off the beautiful mask, and the eyes are ruthless. The burden of life also slowly weighed on Geroge's shoulders. Mother needs Geroge, life needs Geroge, Geroge needs Geroge.
Time to take off your coat, put on an eye patch and reveal the S logo.
Funny and sad, in the end, life saved Geroge, and life itself. And perhaps this is a person's life, constantly living on the sea, with the waves rising and falling deep and shallow. And you can't say that all this is meaningless, because everyone wants to see what kind of gorgeous scenery is on the other side of the sea, and if you stop your motivation, you will be slapped into the endless abyss by the waves that are ushering in. . Go forward, sometimes don't care too much about its meaning, maybe, you will live better.
But it's just a movie after all, with its perfect ending. In reality, how many people will have his Sally, and his Sally will smile and say "I will never lose you" in the blurred feasting; and anxiously say "I spent two full hours. Looking for you" "I'm sorry, I almost lost you"; and when he was about to leave, he turned back without turning back~
How many Geroges would stand up straight with their chests up under the stern and stern gaze of life; how many "Principal, teacher" solemnly and kindly reminded Geroge, encouraged and forgiven.
Life is hard. Life is cruel. But the future may be bright.
"We're born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."
