"Every identity of a person is a kind of self-kidnapping, and the only way to freedom is to lose it."
This is an article written by Liu Yu after reading the novel "The Moon and Sixpence". I really liked the post-reading of this article. The sentence in the article "the floor was full of sixpence, but he looked up and saw the moon" moved me for a long time, and I kept it warm in my heart. In addition to the unique novelty of the novel itself, the source of the touch is Liu Yu's exquisite analysis and expression. "He didn't choose a dream, he was hit by a dream." Today, many years later, I can still think of the rainy summer vacation in my third year of junior high school, looking at a tall man with frighteningly large eyes and a pale face in the Christian church The man stared at the cross and said softly, "I didn't choose God, but God chose me." I was terrified and ran away. However, as I got older, I began to understand the difference between choosing and being chosen, and it became more and more profound. That is like a divine revelation in the dark, and it is the fate in the legend. "If there is any difference between him and others, it is that he is more obedient to fate than others. How coquettish and sharp the dream is, people are running around in panic, fleeing to fame, or the resentment of seeking fame and wealth for nothing." Dreams are sinister Because of the hardships and twists of the worrying process, and because of the fear of having nothing in the end, we fled to the safe greenhouse of reality and grew mediocrely. At the end of the day, whether we are in the market or utilitarian, we will occasionally sigh deeply, "This is life", completely forgetting that there was a character in Bole who told us, "You are the material." And this sentence reveals our true destiny. In the beginning it was a matter of being chosen, and in the end it was a matter of choice. Only the protagonist Charles, only the author Maugham, and only Liu Yu have discovered that dreams are destiny.
And then there's Chris in Wilderness Survival.
In order to survive better in this society, we have been constantly doing self-improvement, and all the bricks and tiles added are based on the established requirements of this society, which are indeed the rules of the game in society. However, how can we truly liberate and regain our freedom? How can I meet the fate of wisdom and recognize myself? The answer is, only to lose. So while others are busy doing additions for their own lives, Chris is constantly doing subtractions, quitting the house, giving up work, donating savings to charities, breaking the connection with his family, escaping urban civilization, escaping the shuttle bus Luo believes that the peaceful despair in which most people live has become a truly independent individual.
After reading the travel journal "If You Don't Go, You'll Die", and then watching the movie "Survival in the Wilderness", you will find that some scenery is similar to deja vu. For example, the one in Mexico, which is my favorite, is shot in a way that highlights the weirdness of the city.
However, I thought that Chris just set out with a pure dream like Yuura, and only after watching the movie did I realize that he ran away with the scars of being betrayed by adults. I always feel that this is the only regret in this runaway. There is a bit of suspicion of evasion and a bit of cowardice. Although I am also tired of the complexity and triviality of interpersonal relationships in society, although I also agree that nature is far simpler and more real than human beings, I should face up to Chris's growing pains rather than escape. In a Chinese mock test in the third year of high school, I was moved to tears when I was doing the reading questions. The text said, "The web of life is everywhere... Being stinged, you have to endure it. Triviality and sharpness are just the illusion of life, just like roses. The thorn, after stabbing the hand, is fragrant and charming... Instead of fleeing, it is better to return... Intoxication is our best destination..." At that time, I was as cowardly as me, and escaping was my usual attitude.
So, near the end of the film, Chris triumphantly preached his life theory to the old man, but the old man uncovered Chris's hidden scars: "when you forgive you love and when you love god's light shines on you." ; So, after listening to Chris was stunned for a long time, he responded with a foul language: "Holy shit."; So, when his life was about to end, he wrote "happiness only real when shared", what he said was The scene he saw was that he was thrown back into the arms of his parents; therefore, he was able to calmly write down the conclusion of his life: "I have had a happy life and thank the lord. goodbye and may god bless all!
" Completed his life.
This is also the meaning of travel - the familiar scenery has confused our eyes with the existing prejudices, only travel, the countless first glimpses of life in travel enable us to re-examine our life from a new perspective, thus enriching our life meaning.
This is the most beautiful part of the movie. If there is no incompleteness, how can it be complete? No regrets, how to be perfect?
