Open that window-"Visitor of the Mind"

What kind of world do we live in? Many people think it is indifferent and ruthless, and many people think it is dull and boring. Therefore, many people are reluctant to open that window. Because they don't know what it will bring to them after opening it. Is it a scheming intrigue? Are they killing each other hideously?

Fear comes from ignorance, precisely because we are cautious about the world outside the window, which accumulates our doubts and fears about it. I always felt that if we really opened that window, we would be like standing naked in the middle of the road. A group of well-dressed people pointed and pointed and whispered that we were lunatics.

Self-protection is the nature of human beings and the key to our survival given by nature. Therefore, when we are ignorant of the truth outside the window, we choose to hide in the window and watch. However, when you can't devote yourself to the soothing of the sun and the teasing of the breeze, how can you know that there will be floral fragrance in the blood, and vitality can be bred in corruption?

We must know that what really enables humans to survive and multiply is not to allow us to protect ourselves independently, but to communicate with each other, understand each other, and tolerate each other. Whether it is white or black; whether it is an elderly or a child; whether it is a man or a woman; whether it is a rich or a commoner; whether it is a celebrity or a grassroots... This is what we need to survive, otherwise we can only be walking dead, an empty stinky skin.

Classic movies are worth reviewing, and how many times you watch them is not the key to the problem. The point is that every time I revisit, there are new gains... "Opening that window" is what I gained after watching "Visitor of the Mind" again.

The rhythm of this kind of movie is not very strong, so watching this kind of movie requires a person to taste it quietly. An environment that is too noisy will make people unable to understand the meaning of the film more deeply, and it is easier to miss the simple dialogue with profound meaning.

This kind of movie will not have many clues that disturb the thinking of the audience, it does not need to be suspense, it does not need to be unexpected. It just narrates smoothly and easily. Let the audience follow its thoughts at the same time and have enough time to think together. Therefore, the movie has only one main line, and the processing of other sub-lines is simplified. Even the death of William Forrester, the elder at the end of the credits, makes people feel like it's time, and it's not abrupt.

This kind of movie does not need to use big names, famous names to join in to increase the value (of course, Sean Connery can be regarded as one of the outstanding movie stars of the older generation, and Matt Damon, who showed up in a hurry, was not the first line. ), because it is only a small production, and it no longer belongs to the category of commercial films.

Let us open the windows of the soul, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

There will be pain and hurt, but there will also be joy and happiness! This is better than nothing.

    The director's sister story, the funny thing is that Damon also came to make a cameo at the end. In the play, the old writer lives alone at home and refuses to have any form of contact with the outside world, but all this is broken by a dumbfounded boy, and they finally reap precious friendship. The seemingly cliché story is always so moving. The encounter between people is always the biggest surprise and reward for us in the world.

Finding Forrester quotes

  • Jamal: Man, fuck you William! You wanna know what the real bullshit is? How about you let me take on this one cause you're too damn scared to walk out that door and do something for somebody else. You're too damn scared, man! That's the only reason.

    Forrester: [throws glass against wall and breaks it] You don't know a goddamn thing about reason; There are no reasons! Reasons why some of us live and why some of us don't! Fortunately for you, you have decades to figure that out!

    Jamal: Yeah, and what's the reason in having a file cabinet full of writing and keeping the shit locked so nobody can read it? What is that man? I'm done with this shit.

  • Forrester: I have an homeland that I have not seen for too long.

    Jamal: Oh, you mean Ireland?

    Forrester: Scotland, for God's sakes!

    Jamal: I'm messing with you, man.
