About the call of ice storm or another world

Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts, a dream of a rivers and lakes, a prince who can recite White Shakespeare, a biased sexuality, a martial arts or supernatural ability, and a gesture of rejection. Why can my ego be like this Suddenly, and so lonely until this loneliness shows me an ice storm in reality?

In the ice storm, such Brokeback Mountain becomes the so-called different world in the Fantastic Four comics in the hands of the little boy, This different world allows you to be invisible even if you work hard on weekdays. When Irina is riding her daughter’s bicycle and Sandy’s blasting toy Wendy chases after the Watergate report, Paul’s brandy hookah class looks away from the Wall Street Journal. Telegraph pole Jenny plays with her feminine charm, Kimi explains that when molecules and geometry are obsessed with a white and clean world, they are more or less in their different worlds.

In any case, their different world is viewed from their own perspective. Come, they are all fascinating and don't need to be invisible. As explained by the talented woman at the beginning of the film, Toshi said that being good is not a matter of choice. If you choose to be evil, even if you choose to be evil, it is a manifestation of free will.

But this is not a logical problem. We are actually powerless to do evil. You can only be kind to people at a minimum. Especially when the world is trying to teach us to be kind to people, this is why even the Fantastic Four have to shoot their own son with an anti-matter gun, because the son is a personal atomic bomb, which is a danger to the world.

Therefore, Both heroes and common people have the responsibility to maintain this world/family. The anti-matter gun of the family is to deal with when your ability is potentially dangerous to other members.

Therefore, no matter how weird I am or what kind of alien world I have, I certainly don't want other people's abilities or other worlds to interfere with me. There is a whole set of anti-power guns: love, the body is TEMPLE, you are still young, the arena is sinister, rational, cowboy theory of value.

Yes, the various abilities in my body make it easier for me to deny others, no matter when I pray for thanksgiving, I lose my father. When I warn my son to pay attention to hygiene when masturbating and warn my neighbors and daughters to not be profane, in fact, I often slip into another world without knowing it. When I am strict with others, I am indulging and confused. When using the anti-matter gun, I forgot that there were all kinds of weird cracks in my heart.

When "I" is plural, the stronger the abilities of oneself, the more it will hurt the people around them. Ice storm is a complete and tense drama. We hurt others while denying ourselves, and we retaliate against the injured while seeing the evil results of the revenge.

All the powers are released on a night where the ice storm is raging, and the game of wife swapping is just us. A microcosm of daily life, adults and children have improper sexual actions under the Christianization, which is like a vain nightmare in the harsh and violent weather. Jenny has abandoned the more and more wordy foundation this evening, absolutely a bit cruel, especially She knows which Ben's key is. She and Mei Nan can't hide her emptiness and loneliness after a night, curling up on the water bed like a baby. Irina finally took revenge on her husband, who was actively indulging. In turn, she found Jenny's husband Jim. But when she ran to the other side's house, she found that her daughter was sinking in the same indulgence. Kimi ran on the ice. By the side of the road and the woods, screaming wildly, the molecules are frozen. This is the other world he dreams of. The black branches and trees bent by the frost seem to have created a twisted world for him. He saw that even the cables were It was torn off like a mischief. The cable was disconnected before his eyes. He was so happy that he had never seen such a beautiful scene. The call to another world had never been so strong. Such a call gave him a death.

In the end, our hearts were blacked out or surrounded by ice and snow, and we couldn't hear each other's screams in loneliness. Ice storm is a story about what, it's a story about rejection of each other, obsessed with our own different world, and right The harm caused by others. And the tragedy lies in the different world in our eyes, why it hurts or something... The

answer is that our desires must be objectified, otherwise it will become empty. Objectification means always occupying something on someone else's body or something in space, so that we have to be surrounded by all kinds of others. My other. At this time, we need a contract, a kind of enlightenment, a kind of great hypocrisy.

And the background of the era chosen by the film is exactly when that great hypocrisy is disintegrating.

I remember watching Ice Storm seven years ago. At that time, Hou was still reading. The movie I saw by chance on the Pearl TV station was somewhat shocked at the time. It’s hard not to watch the movie I’ve been fond of for so long now. Not to mention, especially when I see the same feelings, there is even a very strong feeling of fear.

When a family dinner becomes a ritual, but the familial prestige ceases to exist, the dining table sometimes becomes a battlefield. For example, when the father is praising the reform and opening up, the mother misses Mao Zedong and the brother is there. When talking about freedom and equality, my younger brother admires Nietzsche and Superman. A family of four like enemies with different abilities, no matter the worldview of marriage and work, they can’t help each other without harming each other, and there are even disputes about the taste of household cleaning, ironing, and dining. At that time, the family slipped into another world without knowing it.

Of course there won’t be another ice storm, it won’t be so dramatic, but the energy of another world is released bit by bit. Bit by bit, can I be invisible again and again?
