Voice of Metal
1. Contradictions about oneself:
"Ideal life-accident, unsatisfactory (deafness)-anger, paranoia-try to accept-unwilling-resist-accept the undesirable life"
This process is quite similar to the lives of many people. The dissimilar part is that many of us have never lived in the ideal state of life in our hearts before accepting "accidents and unsatisfactory".
Never get it, and lose it after getting it, the world and the protagonist each have their own misfortunes.
2. Regarding the contradiction between the world and the world:
Facing the deafness, the protagonist took an outward search for a solution
In the face of deafness, the "deaf community" chose to look inward for solutions.
Through the words of the administrator, "the church supports people in need, not religious believers", which shows
However, the essential differences in the resolution path have caused inevitable conflicts and estrangements between people who had no contradictions.
That is, there is an original irreconcilable difference between the "secular" and the "non-secular", which will not change because of whether people are kind or not.
From a more macro perspective, the same is true for other originally opposed groups. Even the kind people in their respective groups will not be able to reach agreement because of their different ideas.
This is the contradiction between the world and the world.
3. Contradiction between yourself and your lover
The protagonist's struggle is to be able to go back to the "wandering" life in the past with his lover, but after the lover experiences a different life state, he chooses a simpler lifestyle
It seems cruel, but the essence is the result of people’s rational thinking about life.
When the audience calmly accepts the separation of the male and female protagonists, it constitutes a choice between the audience’s self-"love" and "rational"
Four, finally
The sound of metal is both the beginning and the end of everything. When the protagonist chooses to take off the onomatopoeia device that deceives the brain, he once again put himself in a situation he has never reached before.
The same is true of the life we face. After experiencing it, we can only continue to think about the unknown departure.
