Two kinds of imprisoned freedom

Imagine that we have been living in the limelight since childhood, just because a genius and arrogant director suddenly wanted to put on a reality show, so in your life, whether it is happiness or sadness, a scene One scene, one scene after another, has become a drama shared by the world. Everything you thought you once enjoyed alone, the originally peaceful and longing town has become a huge studio, and there are at least 5,000 invisible cameras around to record you. Every minute of life, your wife has nothing in common with you, your father was arranged by the director to drown in the sea, of course, if the director is more nonsensical, he can be brought back to life again, the friends around you and Neighbors are also pre-arranged, what would you do?

Just take a look at our optimistic Truman. At 30, he found that everyone around him was acting. He fled, away from the sight of the crew and the crowd. He took the photo of his first love girlfriend and drove a boat to the coastline. The director, of course panicked, he immediately ordered to create a bigger storm, which made Truman's boat look like a swaying leaf on the sea that would be swaying at any time, Truman reluctantly propped up the sail again and again, until Exhausted, embarrassed, and even crying to 'God' - Director: ''What other tricks do you have, hurry up and use them! ''

When you see this, can you say it's not a fable? ! If there really is a God! He should be the director! But such a God is more cruel and ruthless! Shouldn't God have a precise measure? Doesn't God know how to make us cry and laugh sometimes? Isn't God the best at giving you joy when you're on the brink? Isn't God the best at hitting blows from the sky when you get carried away? Isn't God a celestial zodiac? The most proud to let you drift in the middle state of incomplete sadness and joy?

Truman was luckier than us, and finally escaped, pushing open the door of that dark dream. For such a short moment, I was really happy for him, and excited for him. He at least showed us the brave side of human beings and bravely defeated the so-called God or destiny. This slow step has left us with much comfort and relief in our hearts. Encourage? !

Suddenly thought of another movie "1900", this nameless orphan, from birth to growth, does not even have a formal name, 1900 sounds like a number, just like each of us is born from God. the same number. Now, when I see Truman slowly pushing open the small door leading to the unknown with longing on his face, I think of 1900 again, the 1900 who has never stepped on the ground for half a step in his life. Maybe once there was a chance, he longed for it, longed to leave the boat and go to the ground to find love. When walking through the long passage made of wooden boards, even if it was just an inadvertent step, he could touch the ground with both feet, and he could Approaching the girl he once dreamed of, but we all know in the end that he finally turned around and left and returned to the boat. ''Beyond the land, it is still land, the city is so big! ''He doesn't lack anything. In his life, including the yearning for the land is fleeting, he is a piano genius, he can rotate the world with ten fingers, and just playing a few keyboards can make him. He is carefree, but he is afraid of the unknown, and he is afraid of the weight and gloom of the unknown. At this moment, 1900 is like us, hesitating in the face of the unknown, standing still, and even doubting the existence of self.

Truman chose to break free, he chose to break free from the shackles that the madman director wanted to build on him, he chose to leave the town, he chose to go outside to find new freedom.

Both freedoms are relative. A kind of inner, limited environment to seek in the heart. For example, in 1900, he chose to stay on the ship, and even destroyed it together with the ship, because he only wanted to be immersed in the world in his heart, immersed in the black and white of the piano. , regard the world in your heart as the whole world, this is a kind of freedom, a taste of freedom in life.

Perhaps in the end of the pursuit of freedom, it is often the ideology of the seeker that plays a decisive role, which is sometimes more like an invisible shackle. When you are deeply tired of a certain life, you always try to get rid of it, and when the opportunity comes, you choose to stay and continue year after year. contradiction! We are always imprisoned in our own thoughts, and when the time comes to make a decision, not even the first thought will stand the test of time.

The air is free, and the sky is free. Under this free sky, there are always one or two things that we pursue endlessly. Of course, it is inevitable to encounter setbacks and difficulties during this period. You see, Truman did it, or God arranged for Truman to do it. For you who also live in a relatively confined space, what is your choice?
