I don’t know if anyone like me is a time obsession, because the most irresistible to human beings is this absurd and ruthless external world. The two most ruthless in this ruthlessness are nature and time. , And the most ruthless thing above nature is time. I am a believer in Sartre's "existentialism", which means that the world is illogical and absurd. Existentialism believes that as long as humans choose freely, they can liberate themselves, realize themselves, and create themselves. And there is a contrarian force in this classic, this is still time. Time is the supreme ruler. Every existing individual cannot disobey time. We are all passive. For time, our choices are also infinitely limited—remorse, prospect and follow. In "The Curious Case of Benjamin", we can see the deep thinking of time, the admiration of time and the helplessness of time. Even from one perspective, the understanding of time conveyed by the film can be called the "Bible of Time."
Before starting my understanding, I think I need to explain my definition of time. In addition to its own meaning, time also serves as a carrier. This is the birth of life and memories, so I am explaining the theory of time in movies. Yes, time may have the same meaning as life and memories.
one. Time is one-way
Benjamin, the protagonist of the movie, is a ridiculous product of an ridiculous world. He was born an old man with a body of senile disease. In contrast, his thoughts are ignorant, just like other babies. In other words, when the body and mind of others continue to mature or become old, his mind continues to grow and his body continues to grow young. This is his greatest tragedy. He lives against time, but he has to Obey the one-way law of time. I thought of Little Daisy’s words, “Turkey is a turkey, but it can’t fly. It’s so pitiful.” This is the pity for Benjamin. He is a child without the appearance of a child. In the years when he was curious about the world, he wanted To endure the shackles of his body, and to be called an old man when he is a child, is a tragedy drowning in contradictions.
But he must live like this, others are free fall, he is free projectile. Whether it is from the starting point to the end or from the end to the starting point, time always advances in one direction. As a naturally occurring exception, Benjamin was destined to bear the tragedy and bear the punishment of rebelling against the sacred rule of time. He and Daisy met in the middle of their lives. They collided hotly, and then was ruthlessly torn apart by time. Fortunately, they were involved. The trip was not torn off, and they walked towards their own "end point" together in another way. When the baby who became a baby died in Daisy's arms, when Daisy slowly passed away after listening to this memoir, all this may not be what we expected, but this is the best result of this tragedy.
two. Time is irreversible
My favorite part of the movie is about Daisy’s explanation of the car accident in France, showing a helpless attitude towards time. Just like Ben’s narration, “Sometimes we live on the orbit of an imminent collision, but we don’t know it; no matter if it happened by accident or for a long time, we can’t do anything.” No one can change time, and time cannot be reversed. We can only face and bear it, and we are willing to call it a chance, a coincidence, naively and optimistically. Countless times in our lives, we always hope for that impossible "if", but when we say this word, we are also doomed to be impossible. We cannot turn time back and go back to the past. This time, to fix my fault, this reminds me of "Butterfly Effect". If we try to change the time, we will never get the answer we want. A small modification of ours will make up for a huge amount. Shock. And the real life we live in outside of the movie, we can't change and control, but this is life. The powerful power of time is one of the keys to the mystery and charm of life. "Life is unpredictable. In a series of intertwined people and things, no one can control it. "We never know what the next moment will be, and after we have experienced it, we can never do anything to the previous moment.
three. Time is
the constant youth that never stops , and other people keep getting old or leaving. Born in a nursing home, the most experienced is death. The coming and going subject and guest are here waiting for the end of their life, living in this tranquility, and learning the best philosophy about life and time. The lines of the movie are superb, each one is carefully crafted, and everyone will find their favorite. David Fincher, a preaching director, his "Fight Club" has allowed all audiences to experience his absolute sharpness. Life philosophy, in "Benjamin" he let us learn the infinite thinking about life and time.
Time is the motor of Pentium. Everyone wants to stay in their best time. Daisy said that I hate getting old, and for himself, he can do nothing about his constant youth. Daisy said, "When my skin becomes old and sagging, will you still love me?" Ben said, "When I have acne, will you still love me?" The answer is yes, Ben said, "I often Thinking about what can last forever, we are no exception." Daisy said, "Some things can last forever."
How far is forever, except time. This lone dictator can last forever forever, for people Speaking of emotions, especially the kind of unforgettable, lifelong love, of course, can last forever in human life. But when we stand pessimistically and rationally outside of this emotion, this one is always just a moment to time. It stayed in some moments, and then it passed by. But those moments are beyond the meaning of human beings. We enjoy the shortness all the time. We remember, miss, and sigh. In our subjective world, we amplify, expand, and deepen his meaning. On the spiritual level, the ruthlessness against time weakens the power of time, but in the final analysis, we are always so helpless in the face of the ruts of time. At the age of 20, I am vague about the concept of getting old. I think when I look at my fear of time 60 years ago when I am 80, I don't know what my emotions will become.
Four. Time is relative
This may be the most difficult to describe. Newton and Einstein gave many definitions of time. Science allows us to explore the concept of time in the material world from the description of the movement and change of the material world itself. This requires us to exclude our own experience and feelings from an objective perspective to examine time itself. In fact, while we are discussing, it is impossible to absolutely exclude the sensory factors in our minds, because we still have subjectiveness in our minds. Logical judgment. The absolute concept of time in the material world requires us to shield the concept of time in our minds, or we cannot use the word time to describe the concept of time itself. Because time is an abstract concept, just like space. I remember a saying that space can be divided into three dimensions in the context of time, and time itself can be divided into countless dimensions. We are in a three-dimensional world. When we think about time, our logic is always missing. I am not a wise man or a scientist, but we should all believe that time is relative, and only the flow of time is absolute when it advances.
The protagonist in the movie is the clock retrograde in 1918. This is one of my favorite elements in the whole movie. The makers use this clock to remember what each of us has lost in the years. The movie uses this to draw our protagonist, and I want to use this clock to express the relativity of time. We use many things to determine the length of time, year, month, day, hour, minute and second, but these cycles are too inaccurate for a fair and constant time. On the other hand, an instrument like a clock is actually excluded from being exact. , So if we all use reverse clocks to record and describe time, then of course it’s okay. Then use the thinking of film, if we all live like Ben, is it okay? In relative time, no matter how we live, it has no effect on time itself, but our own body has to undergo opposite changes, and corresponding values will also have different changes, but they are only subtle. People’s lives are symmetrical. We live from a child, and when we are old, we return to our childhood mentally. We do the same thing. When we were young, we were discovering, thinking, and learning. When we were old, we remembered, thought, and continued. Learning, from this category, is actually not so painful. As mentioned above, memories and human emotions may be the best way for the subjective world to get rid of the constraints of time, so is forgetting and ruthless time the best punishment for us. When the boy who became a child couldn't remember the person he loved, his piano, our empathy and heartache were self-evident.
Time is relative, from another perspective it is morning and evening. Elizabeth said that she wanted to be the youngest person in the world to cross the English Channel, but she failed at that time. She spent 32 hours; at the age of 68, she challenged her dream again for more than 34 hours, and she became the oldest person in the world. Long crossing the strait. Which is better? We don’t know, maybe she would succeed if she persisted for another 2 hours. For her, this dream came too late, but for the latecomers, the record seemed too early, but her dream was still achieved in the final analysis. It will be remembered by history—the past time.
I'm sorry to write this film review, my thinking is beating, because my emotions are hot, this movie has too many details worthy of our attention, worth thinking about, in addition to the lines that inspired us, and that A character who uses his own story to embody the theme. Many people don't like this movie. Some people think that I am exaggerating, but I still remember the excitement in my heart after watching the movie, the heartbeat and tears. When Hurricane Katrina came unexpectedly, when the water flooded the retrograde clock, my tears shed for no reason. At least I hope that when I get older, I recall the meaning of time to me, and I see In this naive article, I will not regret that I have spent 3 hours reflecting on the topic of time. I always think that the director's attitude towards time is respectful, rather than trying to change. The director believes that in the face of time that is unable to change, we should have an attitude of remembrance and relief.
