"American Beauty" tells the story of a middle-aged man who, because of various crises, is not as good as his own wife. Because of the appearance of a young girl, her passion for life has been rekindled. Because of a word from a young girl, he started exercising, he learned to enjoy music, he quit his job and extorted success, bought a new sports car that he dreamed of as a child, and he even tried drugs. In the face of his wife's derailment, he doesn't care, what is this compared to losing the joy of life? He has realized the pity of the good time he had wasted before, and he decided to enjoy life. It was at this time that he was killed by the sound of a "collapse". At the end of his life, he felt that he was not unhappy. He began to recall his short forty-two years of life, his happy childhood, and his love for his wife. , envious of other people's sports cars, his lovely daughter, and many happy times... I just don't know when all these beautiful and happy times have left him,
I think most of us were happy when we were young, but I didn’t know that one day we would suddenly feel unhappy. Thinking of this, what kept popping up in my mind was the plastic bag in the movie that fell from the ground to the air in the corner of the leaves of the plane tree. …….. There is a monologue next to it: This world is too beautiful, I always feel that I can't bear it.
Is it really? Many people have said that the simpler a person is, the happier he is. I'm thinking now that Forrest Gump's happiness is really intriguing.
At the end of the film, the middle-aged man left behind a monologue worth savoring: I guess I should be angry when I die, but the world is so beautiful, so I shouldn't be angry all the time. My heart is like a full balloon that will burst at any moment, and then I remember to relax, don't keep trying to hold on, all the beauty washes me like rain, let me treat my humble and stupid life every moment Filled with gratitude, you must have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry, one day you'll understand!
PS: The world is so beautiful, why do we always feel unhappy? Is it really because we can't bear this kind of beauty, or is it the line of Xiao Shenyang in the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Not Bad for Money": When you close your eyes, when you open them, a day has passed. "As soon as you close your eyes, if you don't open your eyes, a lifetime has passed.
I think this question is worth thinking about by each of us.
