About Aesthetic Escape from the Pessimistic World-Game

I saw a lot of philosophical charm in this film. I thought it was just an ordinary inspirational film. I was pleasantly surprised. In the film, Juno turned to nihilism or pessimism because of the blows he received in the war, thinking that the world is nothing and everyone will eventually die, so the world is meaningless. As for the game of golf, the pure intoxication of the game, the harmony with all things, and the state of being nothing and nothing brings him back to reality and experience the beauty and fun of life. Isn't this state of aesthetics? As Schopenhauer said, the world is pessimistic, the nature of human beings is painful, and the only salvation for surpassing the pessimistic world is aesthetics. Aesthetics, namely appreciation, gratitude, aesthetic state, things are forgotten, "Only the breeze in the mountains and the bright moon in the mountains, the ears and the sound, the eyes and the knowledge become the color, it is the endless view of the creator, and What I and my son share is suitable". "There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten what I want to distinguish."
Cherish the beauty, poems, and games around you, completely forget the gains and losses, enjoy the beauty around you, and enjoy life with a pessimistic heart. It is not possible to conceal the pain of the world, overcome it, detach it, and work hard to free more people from the pain.
Entering the World--Zhu Guangqian's
three passions are simple, but extremely strong. They rule my life. They are: the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the unbearable sympathy for human suffering. ----BERTRAND RUSSELL

The Legend of Bagger Vance quotes

  • Rannulph Junuh: I can win Adele... I can beat both of 'em... Look into my eyes and tell me what you see...

    Adele Invergordon: Determination... Pure determination...

    Rannulph Junuh: Panic, Adele... Pure panic... I'm eight strokes behind two of the greatest golfers in the sport, they've never blown a lead in their lives and I'm gonna win... Ya know why?

    Adele Invergordon: Panic?

    Rannulph Junuh: That's right...

    Adele Invergordon: Oh Junuh, you don't by any chance ...

    Rannulph Junuh: Yes...

    Adele Invergordon: Was there something about me that you particularly missed? Somethin that I can feel gratified about depriving you all these years?

    Rannulph Junuh: I liked the way we danced...

  • Adele Invergordon: Ten years and not one single, solitary word from you? You don't do that to someone you love! I deserve better, I deserve some correspondence of some indication of how you felt! Junuh, I don't know what happened to you... but whatever it was... it couldn't have been as unbearable as a woman waitin' with no end in sight... Wonderin if she's, remembered or forgotton by the man she loves... You never even said you were sorry... And now I'm supposed to just run into your arms and melt like butter on a hot muffin?

    Rannulph Junuh: I'm sorry Adele... I am, truly sorry...

    Adele Invergordon: It's too late for 'I'm sorry' Junuh!

    Rannulph Junuh: But - Then - Well, tell me what to say... It was too long ago...

    Adele Invergordon: No it wasn't... It was just a moment ago...
