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 plot in the film does not seem to be in a hurry, and it is slightly dull. There is no nervous expectation in "Soul Hunter" and a profound analysis of human nature. It is just telling a story, simple and profound dialogue, and slow rhythm. People taste carefully. When the old writer was cleaning the glass, inflating his bicycle tires, and riding on the road, it was the moment when he opened his heart. In his letter to Jia Mo, he also said: Without him, he may never be the same. won't get out of that house.

    The first half is a bit tedious and dull, but the second third is brilliant. This is not an inspirational film, but a film about friendship~ It is rare and precious to meet a friend who can open up the most vulnerable parts of each other's hearts and have a true two-way spiritual exchange~ No matter where we are in Age groups and life stages can always grow from such friendships, and they will never be forgotten. . .
