The blue bracelet in the nightmare-"Brick"

That night I slept tiredly in my clothes and then awake at four in the morning. I got up and watched this independent movie shown on Sundance that I had been waiting for for a while. Then I was a little numb, a little frightened, and crawled back to bed again to fall asleep. But there were constant nightmares, and I opened my eyes half-awake constantly, but saw more exits on the wall like a passage. Some people threw the corpse by my side, the smell of carrion, all kinds of bugs crawling around, There are other people in the room, there are other sounds, those clinking sounds like chimes, the sounds of cold feet walking and walking, but I can’t wake up, I can’t wake up, I can’t find mine. Glasses. I want to tell myself that this is an illusion, but I find that my mind is very calm, as if I have accepted this reality by default. I lie here, unable to wake up, but I am not asleep, just like this is the strangeness of being trapped in the inescapable life. Point, calm, but dead still. Of course I woke up. The only thing I couldn't tell the truth was I woke up, watching the snow-white wall, putting on some music, and eating something, it would never be me who turned into a corpse.

Forget about those flashy luxury productions. Those movies scam you money and hit your ears and eyes in just two hours. You can't get anything, oh, and for those ignorant and The frantic laughter caused by ignorance. Even if a movie with a real heart entangles me like this kind of nightmare, I recognize it. A seemingly ordinary independent production set in the background of Southern California high school students and drug dealings and gang fights, but under the hidden and cynical actor Brendan, under the cold and cold lens, the director's narrative method With good mastery ability, the layers of mystery are slowly revealed, and the unresolved sadness is brought after the truth is revealed. After the movie ends, the people in front of the screen have left the people in front of the screen with a nightmare. The subconscious mind.

A good movie makes me reluctant to reveal its plot here. Those suspense and undercurrents still depend on my own feelings. It is just the beginning of the scene. It is the beautiful corpse, her slightly larger shoes, and her slender legs. , Her long golden hair, her twisted hands, and the string of blue bracelets. Later, the bracelet kept appearing. The mysterious blue color made you ignore the outside things, but its most beautiful moment is like this. When the water is allowed to pass by, those oppressive loneliness and despair flow around the screen. Come out, do you feel it? The madness of this world has created our despair. Drugs, money, and interests. Everyone is trapped in it. Even if it is not drugs, there will be other temptations. The most indispensable thing in this world is temptation and desire. Brendan just wants to drift away. Besides, he could not protect the girl he loved, his only love, even though it was a fall of her own choice, he could not even talk about revenge, he was just resisting and insisting, he was so decisive and resolute. Strong, but his pain, his fragility, and his despair, all bit by bit affects the hearts of people in front of the screen. I can’t stop myself from feeling the emotions when I’m watching a movie, and I can’t stop it from acting on it. The subconscious mind of endless nightmare.

Later, after waking up, I was listening to The Velvet Underground's big banana. In fact, the nightmare is not terrible, the distortion is not terrible, and the reality is not terrible. What makes you deeper and deeper is to follow the current.
