What initially attracted me to watch this movie was because it was about a life dilemma encountered by a philosophy teacher. It just so happened that I also encountered some problems recently. Secondly, I am also a reader who does not know whether to get started or not. So I watched this movie early on New Year's Eve. After watching it, when I communicated with Zhu Junlin, who stayed up in the middle of the night, she asked me, "So people who study philosophy will be more relaxed about the things in life, or is it the other way around?" This question and some of my movie viewing experience gave birth to This nagging movie review. In fact, in this film, the setting of the protagonist's philosophy teacher can be completely hidden. Although there are many philosophers' names and works and quotations appearing in it, they do not have much influence on the expression of the film's theme. I think At most, it reinforces the image of the protagonist as an "intellectual". So back to the movie itself, in my opinion, this movie is a process of continuous farewell or continuous separation. Each of us has a variety of different centers of gravity in this world, there are many people, or many relationships, supporting us to move forward, your soulmate like spouse, your parents, your job, Your confidant has a relationship between needing and being needed. I always think of Marx when I write something lately. Marx said that the essence of man is the sum of social relations. This is the truth. In this film, all four relationships are cut open one by one, the protagonists are abandoned one by one, divorced, lost their mother, lost their jobs, found a generation gap between confidants, and social relationships are crumpled up by fate and thrown into the trash. In fact, these things are happening every day, every moment, every minute and every second. All you think of perfection and harmony is just because it hasn't developed to the point of collapse. However, sooner or later, it will collapse. In fact, each of us knows it well, it’s just that happiness is too beautiful, and we don’t want to think about collapse, or, because we need happiness, we are unable to imagine the final disintegration. However, this movie, it is called something in the future, and it is also translated into the future. I tend to think that this is to say that life is a process. To be honest, the Chinese people understand this principle too well. If it is scattered, it will be summed up in one go, so what is the meaning of the rest? That is to say, if the essence of human beings is the sum of social relations, of course, I am talking about people as individuals here, that is to say, these social relations support our existence, then cut off these social relations that we psychologically rely on for a living, How should we exist. At the end of the day, I see it again as an ontological problem. I don't think the movie has an answer.
Speaking of the first question, whether philosophy can save us from the crisis of life, I think this question is a philosophical question, that is, whether rationality can affect sensibility. Let’s look back at the function of philosophy. When we first started school, every teacher would say, what is the use of philosophy? You can go to a stall for fortune-telling. I think it's all an opinion. Philosophy is about rationality, but also about sensibility. Philosophy is about understanding the world, understanding yourself, and understanding life. I think the most important thing, or the most important thing for me, is that philosophy can give explanations. Of course, if something unexpected happens in life, people's perceptual world will have a strong reaction, just like Natalie will cry when she realizes the collapse of the relationship she built, just like I will cry when I am broken-hearted, but in the future, people will still have to face each other. As for life, of course, you can choose not to ask about life, but I think more people are stuck, just ask without saying it. But when you use reason to dissect your own feelings and life, I think that some things can be relieved, even if they cannot be relieved, at least you can know how to go forward. Once you set foot on the road, many things will be better. up.
In the middle of the night, I am full of emotions and my thoughts are confused. Well, the typical rationality cannot control the sensibility.
