What An American Beauty, What An American Silly Cunt !

The movie poster is very interesting: bare white skin, holding a rose. Everyone knows that there are thorns on the rose pole, so you can't hold it tightly because it will sting yourself, but you can't stop holding it because it will lose its beauty. So it is a virtual touch, which not only maintains the beauty, but also does not hurt himself. This also expresses a theme of this film: beauty, not too tight, not too loose.


"There is a beauty behind everything, and it shows me that I don't have to be afraid." Life experience tells me that if you are afraid of something, it must come.
"You can only rely on yourself in this life. The sooner you learn this, the better." This is what the mother said to her daughter, which shows that anyone needs to learn to be independent, financially and emotionally.


The father who hated gays the most was gay in the end, and the best friend who had been showing off to a few men was a virgin in the end. The director viciously mocked the living conditions of the American middle class: boring, sophisticated, prejudiced, and hypocritical. That's why I hate the sophistication of some Americans, being polite to you on the surface, but not caring in private.


We are in an age of lies. Lying is subconscious, just to show that we are better than others, and just want to gain the approval of others. That way of life becomes especially absurd and cheap. Life itself is a huge joke, get up early to understand a truth, and leave the world at night. So eat to the fullest when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy, laugh when you are happy, and cry when you are hurt.


"The world is so beautiful, I shouldn't be angry. Sometimes I feel that the beauty of the sky makes me unable to see it all at once, and my heart is like an inflated balloon that will explode at any time. Later, I remember that I have to relax and don't keep thinking about it. Hold on. All the beauty washes me like the rain and makes me feel nothing but gratitude, every moment of my short life. I guess you don't know what I'm talking about, but don't worry, you always One day I will understand." This is the monologue of the protagonist after his death. Some people understand this truth at the age of 18, just like the boy in the film. Some people only understand after middle age, just like the protagonist. Others may not even understand after death. Ordinary people must fantasize about doing extraordinary things, and they must think that their ordinary life will become extraordinary through their own hands one day in the future. So I walked into a dead end, ignoring the beauty of what really exists in reality. This is like what Uncle Fan Zhongyan said in "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in junior high school, "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself", the beauty of everything in the world will not disappear because it is defined by the world as ugly So at the end, after the protagonist died, he and the boy laughed because they discovered the beauty of death, a kind of gratitude that all things give you after all. Beauty is gratitude, so imagine that life has There are so many people and things to be thankful for.


Everyone’s heart is like a deep blue ocean! You don’t even know what’s hidden in it! Asking what beauty is in the world, there are too many, and there is no day to be full of happiness, and no one to enjoy it Time. People! You have to live for a time when you will no longer deceive yourself. This is not a funny thing!
