die alone
nothing but illusions
those ravings of the male lead seem to be what I want to say. The principal, teacher, mother, and others could not understand why he just refused to do his homework. Why is something so simple to 'start' so difficult for him. But it's really hard, for us, it's really hard.
Because I can't find the meaning of those homework, I don't want to waste time on it.
Because I can't conceive of a work that I can recognize, I can't paint a complete picture.
Because of fear of nothingness and uncertainty, I prefer objective things.
Because I can't accept the flaws in life, I would rather not enter life...
In the first half of the movie, I looked at him helpless, as if I saw myself: I feel guilty and sad for what I have done, but I can't do anything about it. Why do you have such pessimistic thoughts, and let yourself be like a grain of sand, slowly sinking into the dark seabed?
In the second half of the film, the screenwriter gives his answer. This answer was rather ironic to me; it turned out to be nothing more than adolescence. When the male protagonist felt needed by his mother, he immediately cheered up, as if the previous thoughts about illusions were all bullshit. When he drew the figure and held the hand of the girl he loved, he had completely washed away the haze of the past, and seemed to be a happy and positive person. I was looking forward to that painting before it came out, I thought it would be the finishing touch like the one in The Stars on Earth. And when Emma's portrait appeared, even though it was beautiful, I still had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in my heart---bullshit,bullshit...
The painting teacher asked him to find the truest thoughts in his soul, and as a result, he found a girl. Falling in love with a girl solves all his confusion about life... The ending of the movie really makes people feel powerless and speechless. This makes me feel that the author who created this boy himself does not understand this boy. They highlight his special, but do not know the hidden signal behind this special. So, they can't dig any further, they can only summon the panacea to save the world: this is love~love~, this is love~love~.
Unfortunately, they overestimate the love of youth, but underestimate the sorrow of youth
