Invisible mask

There was once a university professor who kept a pigtail on campus to go to class. His classmates were talking about his behavior. Colleagues also praised and criticized him for his behavior. He himself only replied: "My pigtails are tangible, and yours are intangible. !"
Braids mean the pursuit of the retro cultural trend, which is easily interpreted by everyone as an unconventional behavior. The teacher's response to outsiders means that he believes that even if the appearance of these people is modern enough, some people still think at the feudal level. , Such as today's marriage, hierarchy and so on.
In the movie "Don Juan DeMarco", the protagonist Don Juan puts on a tangible mask because of guilt for his father's death, and vowed not to take it off. However, he also took off the mask in two places after the film, once because of Anna. The lady was shocked by his complicated love history and did not want to face him again, so he took off his mask to ask for forgiveness. The other time, he was forced to take off his mask because he was admitted to a mental hospital.
When Don Juan’s father wrestled with Alfonso, the turning point was that his father nearly killed the enemy and exposed his wife’s mask. In fact, they were lovers because her eyes told him the answer.
Needless to say, the person who pierced your mask must be the one with tattoos in his heart.
When he took off his mask, what we saw was his original face. Could it be his original spirit? It can be seen that everyone did not believe what he said, so he was reluctant to face the world and prepare for suicide. Only the psychiatrist Jack listened to him and finished his story, and the doctor saw his heart. This is also the source of water for a psychiatrist.
The seemingly normal people in the film are actually wearing invisible masks. They have lost the interest and ability of fantasy when they reach middle age, and their hearts are like ashes. Only blood is hot. Under this mask is hidden their dream self. When Don Juan appears to be in contradiction with the times, they undoubtedly place him in a mentally ill identity, whether from the Spanish-style cloak or the mouthful of fantasy language, it seems to be a pure incompetent.
When the doctor Jack listened quietly to his story, it miraculously caused him to reflect on his life for many years: my dream? Who is my wife deep in her heart, and what she gave up for me. Is it too late to mention dreams now?
I especially like the theme song of the movie "Have you ever really loved a woman", which is really italicized to indicate the focus of the song. The lyrics sing "When you love someone, you go to listen to her and indicate what she really wants." . Love is a mutual activity. One party may make a solemn choice in the relationship between the two parties and is willing to sacrifice their dreams for the other party. Should this be avoided as much as possible, or should we pursue it with the utmost selflessness?
Wear a mask for others, and only take off your own mask for others.
I like what Dr. Jack said to Don Juan. You exposed my mask. Indeed, you can only breathe in the world where Don Juan is.

Don Juan DeMarco quotes

  • Don Juan: There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love.

  • Don Juan: By seeing beyond what is visible to the eye. Now there are those, of course, who do not share my perceptions, it's true. When I say that all my woman are dazzling beauties, they object. The nose of this one is too large; the-the hips of another, they are too wide; perhaps the breasts of a third, they are too small. But I see these women for how they truly are... glorious, radiant, spectacular, and perfect, because, I am not limited by my eyesight. Women react to me the way that they do, Don Octavio, because they sense that I search out the beauty that dwells within until it overwhelms everything else. And then they cannot avoid their desire, to release that beauty and envelope me in it. So, to answer your question, I see as clear as day that this great edifice in which we find ourselves is your villa. It is your home. And as for you, Don Octavio DeFlores, you are a great lover like myself, even though you may have lost your way and your accent. Shall I continue?
