Ah Q II

Thought it was Robinson Crusoe, but neither Friday nor Hope showed up, just a strange corpse.

Thought it was the rest of his life on a deserted island, but Manny is not a close friend, but a Swiss Army Knife, omnipotent.

Thought it was survival in the wilderness, but it was not far from the city, it was just an imagination of the jungle.

Thought it was the moon, but it was not alone.

Not being alone lies in the joy at first sight, in the beginning of the conversation, in the interpretation of romance, and in the abundance of the heart.

Such a desire drives one through the jungle, from the desert island, to your window.

But reality is like a bear's mouth, and others are like an abyss.

You can only retract your body, wake Manny, and gallop on the sea until all prejudice can't catch up.

Humans are emotional animals after all, and spiritual satisfaction is the ultimate pursuit.

As for the methods and means, it does not matter.

    Magical Realism. Obviously the male protagonist is crazy in the first half. The desert island at the beginning is just a metaphor of spiritual despair. The normal personality part of his awakening is attached to the resurrection of the corpse. The process of a person’s return to normal. Finally, the corpse was seen by the police and could not speak. After the two personalities were completely merged, the farting corpse at the end of the film went all the way, which is even more symbolic.

    After watching this film with tears in my eyes, the director is a genius, the cinematographer is a freak, and the screenwriter is a freak. . . In short, it is a movie made by a group of neurotics who are warm in their hearts but full of whimsy. Very touching!

Swiss Army Man quotes

  • Manny: Uhh... what should I do now?

    Hank: Um... OK, maybe you talk to her.

    Manny: Well, what do I talk about?

    Hank: Just... whatever comes naturally.

    Manny: Hello. I don't know why, but I have this sudden urge to put my mouth on your mouth?

    Hank: OK, that's called kissing, but you can't do that yet. That's too fast.

    Manny: Oh... Uh, how 'bout if I put my penis in you?

    Hank: That's even worse.

    Manny: Oh, so sorry. What about if just did the tip, like, just the very beginning...

    Hank: OK, Manny, is not about sex!

  • Hank: Every day, you ride the bus and count the minutes, hoping you'll see her again.

    Manny: Oh, my God.

    Hank: She smiles, and you feel a strange tingle up the back of your neck. Something carnal inside of you causes your body to break out in sweats. You feel like the luckiest man in the world. She sits alone, just like every other day, and looks out the window lost in her thoughts. You know that look. She's just as alone as you are, but she doesn't have to be. You could talk to her. Tell her you'd love to sit next to her today and every other day, because life is short, and no one deserves to ride the bus alone.
