One day to read a good text, have a good conversation, or watch a good movie, the day is over, and there are traces of life.

"the green miles" is a story about a miracle starring Tom Hanks, literally translated as "green miles", also translated as "green miracle". After the film ended, I wanted to cry but couldn't feel the pain. I don't know why it's so embarrassing, but I think when a person has a certain degree of feeling for human beings, what awaits him may be the helpless feeling - life is indeed very rich. Meaning, very beautiful, but also want to die.

The title of the film, as the name suggests, refers to the green floor on the road from a death row prisoner's cell to the electric chair where the execution is executed, which may symbolize life or miracles to reflect the theme of the film. A large black man fell from the sky, holding two little girls who died tragically, he only said "it's too late", so he was sent into the hands of some kind-hearted prison guards on death row. In fact, he has the superhuman ability to see into everyone's heart, to know the bad things that bad people have done, and to deeply and constantly realize the sins and shameless behaviors of human nature, and he can be like a Chinese martial arts master. It can cure all ailments and even bring back the dead, but every time he "worked", he was very tired. His words were "dog-tired". Story after story followed, hitting the hearts of the kind-hearted prison guards, who, like Big John, didn't know how he could have this ability. At the end of the story, John insisted on going to death, because he felt that he could only feel the pain in the world all day long, sympathized with the world, felt the same, and wanted to die. Kill, his story is over. The human story of a man like Jesus has written his great soul is over. The protagonist was miserable, and the final grip with John gave him John's superpower and immortality. Then he and his friends changed jobs to supervise juvenile delinquents and wanted to "catch them young", otherwise, the dangers of human beings will never end. What a great educational significance, it is thought-provoking at the level of human nature. Several years have passed, and friends, wives and children have left one by one. The protagonist thinks that this is God's punishment for him, because he killed the "miracle of God" with his own hands. He doesn't know how many years he can live, but people always Is it to die? However, as the last sentence of the film says: "...sometimes..., the green miles seem so long...".

Profoundly, the green li symbolizes the process from birth to death - sometimes it is very long, why don't we cherish it? Why not do more good deeds? Does a saint like John have to die to tell us the meaning of life to get that amazing move and then regret it? John shouldn't die, everyone is sad when he dies, but he doesn't die, it seems that everyone will not realize that they are with all human beings, cannot understand the great "one family under the world" that Chinese culture talks about, and will not restrain themselves at the right time. Sinful tendencies, we are not religious, but we can try to understand why religion exists so thriving!

As far as the film itself is concerned, I am still too sensitive to feel the sensational preaching, but after thinking about it, most people may not have any feelings about the film, so what about the feeling of being educated! In fact, I don't dare to criticize anything. After all, I am just a self-righteous and stubborn independent movie fan. Maybe it is difficult to express this miracle story without such artistic expression, and it is difficult to deeply move people.

For various reasons, the "icing on the cake" is my desperate attitude towards people like John, which leads me to always have a low self-esteem attitude. I think that although I have many books, movies and beautiful and profound feelings I want to share with the world, but I am afraid that no one will look down on me, so I never recommend anything to my friends, even if it is really impulsive sometimes, except for some jokes of course. I think this time, I still won't recommend everyone to watch the movie. Scientifically speaking, it is really difficult to say whether it is suitable for everyone to watch, whether it is from the time, rhythm, type, style of the movie, or from the general impetuous mood, etc. speak.

There is a famous saying in psychology that "anger makes poets, long-term melancholy and low mood may make people creative." No matter how true it is, I think it is very appropriate for me. I have been very happy since college. But when I go deeper, it is a steady and faint sadness. Whether it is about my own affairs or my feelings and thoughts about human beings and society, I cannot be so relaxed, always serious and heavy, whenever I express myself. I feel very comfortable when this kind of truth comes out, but at the same time I know how hard it is to keep this feeling - we have to act like the so-called "others" in order to live too many times. Not for some philosophical or psychological or sociological inquiry, I'm just trying to reduce the transaction cost of communication, you think, when you're willing to talk to girls, are you willing to make them laugh in simple ways? Or "pretend to be true", look at them with disdain for superficial eyes, and express your point of view - human beings need to profoundly change their actions before there is hope! I'm not saying that I have prejudice against women, I'm just saying: There are two types of people in the world, men and women, men's power determines dominance, women express it seriously on the surface, and even use the logic of "men rule the world, women rule men". numb yourself. From the outside to the inside, from the inside to the outside, women might as well do some reflection. Men do not understand "society" as deeply, and women's fate lies in the hands of these male "philosopher kings" -- the reality of Plato's "Utopia" is that whoever has "knowledge" has power, and whoever has wealth, Whoever has status may be cursed. However, if a person does not understand "human beings" that deeply, he may do things that make those of us sigh and sigh for human beings.

It seems that I am a bit far from the film, but I am still willing to bravely say my own powerless nonsense: "No matter how humanistic cultivation is cultivated, it is not an exaggeration."
