Lacanian philosophy

"The point of Lacan's philosophy: fantasy must transcend reality, because the moment you get your hands, you can't and won't want it again, in order to continue to exist, the object of desire must never be achieved, what you want is not "it" ” itself, but the fantasy of it, lust and madness that complement each other, what Basco calls real happiness, from daydreaming of future happiness. How else would we say “hunting is more fun than killing”, Or "Be careful what you wish for. "Not because you'll get it, but because once you get it, you'll never want it again. So Lacan's lesson for us is that those who get what they want will never be happy. Most human nature. It is: try to live in your thoughts and ideals, don't measure your life based on how many desires you have achieved. Instead, measure how many moments of sincerity, compassion, rationality and even self-sacrifice you get, because in the end it's what we measure in our lives The only criterion is how you view other people's lives." You get the Kang's points. Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment the second that you get what you seek you don't, you can't want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It's not the “it” that you want; it's the fantasy of it. So desire supports crazy fantasies. This is what Pas means when we say we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happening. Or why we say “the hunt is sweeter than the kill.” or “be careful what you wish for.” not because you'll get it,


I now think that while the fulfillment of a wish can make us stop wanting it, the climax of happiness in life is the moment when the wish is fulfilled. Like the myth of Sisyphus, it is the truth of life that we constantly set goals, achieve goals, set new goals, achieve them, and repeat. We can't give up the pursuit of dream come true because we are afraid of the falsehood after the dream comes true. After all, the process before the goal is also full of various tastes. In this process, we understand ourselves, others, and The perception of things and the understanding of life are also gradually developing. In the end the only measure of our lives depends on how I see my life, and I am the only one who deserves to give my life value.

But according to the concept that human beings are all one, the passage in the movie may also be true.

    The key to your freedom! Unlock handcuffs, save lives, and relieve guilt. The ending is quite shocking, but I don't agree with their sacrifice. The insufficiency of the judicial system should not be prosecuted with forged crimes, and it cannot be used as a special case to prove the manslaughter of an innocent. Gale's silence when debating and being asked about the special case is very helpless and realistic, no Should be the fuse.

    Very shocking! A powerful actor's performance is worthy of such a shocking script. Desperate and sighing at their strong mission, Laura's suicide tape made me feel like I was about to collapse. I got goosebumps after watching the ending. The soundtrack, the camera is also in place
