---------I am the dividing line of "Occasionally I have to be hypocritical"
Who is this role played by Ben Stiller? A man based on the principle of making the most authentic documentaries-a man who is willing to spend more than ten years interviewing an old man who has even stepped into his grave with a boring dogma to explore the truth of life he believes in. Words such as documentaries and more than ten years alone can make people see that he is an almost stubborn person. However, in his life, he has the shortcomings that many honest people have---
blocking. Before knowing that "destined friend", his life was a three-point line, home-small circle ( My wife’s girlfriend circle)-Shooting and enjoying life seemed to be a luxury for the couple. The last trip was "years ago", and all this was attributed to the "middle-aged crisis" by him, so he Embarked on the road of "regaining youth".
Lacking flexibility, regardless of the depth of his work, a six-hour documentary itself is a huge challenge for normal people (as a fan, documentary has always been a huge weakness for me), but no matter if it is an editor ( Photographer), or his “arrogant” father-in-law’s suggestion, which he never adopted (even attributed his father-in-law’s suggestion to his father-in-law’s prejudice against him, this will be detailed in the next paragraph), and many tragic The interview experience is the epitome of his incompetence---the reason why the smell of wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, he has never understood.
To make matters worse, he still has the fragile pride and innocence characteristic of filmmakers-it is also this pride that makes his disillusionment after being deceived even more painful. Many people are criticizing the work and gullibility of the sarcastic male protagonist. As a person with a long-term sense of existence, I understand him very well. A person who has not been recognized for a long time is recognized by others (especially in movies) The boy in "watched" the male lead movie, which is simply recognized as the grace of knowledge), it is easy for him to trust and rely on that person. When the male protagonist was recognized, his spirit was soaring, and he was "reborn" into the new collective. I couldn't help but wonder if I just lacked a chance to be young and presumptuous. However, both the male lead and I were wrong—becoming young, becoming a real documentary filmmaker, becoming someone who can take control of their own lives, everything is just wishful thinking. Being young is just a form of learning from young people, and the body is still aging; becoming a true documentary filmmaker, he is still unattended, but his "admirer" has gone to the world; and from beginning to end, he is always The person who is mastered by life.
Pride is fragile, in the final analysis, it is not strong and suffers from gains and losses-most of the time it has to be disguised, once there is a chance to show up, it will be exposed to the public like naked. Those who have no chance to show up are immersed in self-doubt and resentment towards others all day long. The male protagonist’s dissatisfaction and stubbornness towards his father-in-law is precisely because of his deep fear and unconfidence in his contempt for his father-in-law. And this pride is like a child’s play in most people’s eyes. The male protagonist’s theoretical transparency is not as important as the price of vegetables in the vegetable market in the eyes of investors. After "nice to meet you", passers-by who didn't look at him. Like him, I am also a person who suffers from not being respected and recognized. For a man, people’s recognition is too important. As a person who is always overwhelmed and ignored in group activities, I have also tried to use it. Frankly, I use "appropriate" anger or various methods in exchange for other people's approval, but find that what I value is always getting someone's reply "It's okay, why don't you be so angry?" This also made my heart fall to the bottom when I saw the scene where the male protagonist "righteously" confronted the person who deceived him and was treated as a fool by everyone at the banquet.
In this movie, different people see different things, some see the director’s keen insight into life, and some see the little sentiment under the mid-life crisis, but we are far from New York. People far away read the initial fear in their hearts-unable to accept themselves as a mediocre or bastard who deceived others against principles to achieve the desired result.
Suffering from gains and losses, this is the male protagonist, me, or the biggest demon of many people with insufficient ability and high self-esteem. The male protagonist finally chose to return to life and adopt children. And I, can I face the fear, really Be kind to yourself...
I don't know.
