there will always be a god

One of the jokes about God in the film goes like this: A devout drowning man hopes God can save him. A boat passed and he refused to be rescued, saying, God will come and save me. The second ship passed again, and he still refused to be rescued for the same reason. The drowning man later drowned. In heaven, he was not convinced and asked God, Almighty Lord, why didn't you come to save me? God replied, to save you, I sent two boats. As Hemingway said in the preface to The Sun Also Rises, most people in this world are confused. We console ourselves only because there, perhaps, a God, sits in heaven. "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". I think this translation is probably a humorous from the last father and son. Knock, knock. This onomatopoeia is enough for the translator to instantly capture a warm and moving inspiration. At the end, my eyes were red. Although the inspirational purpose of the film is so exposed and abrupt. In the United States in the early 1980s, five years after the Vietnam War ended, this society began to slowly recover from the depression of the war. Black person. The marriage breaks down. Not much education. The protagonists with these backgrounds are enough to reflect the cruel reality of some contemporary American society. Emerson once said that in this country of America, neither spirit nor wealth will ever be equal. But look around and everyone is smiling and looking so fucking happy. There are as many Americans as there are American Dreams. Happiness. Jefferson mentioned the word thirteen times in the American Declaration of Independence. At that moment, the great American Founding Father believed that it was God's guide to his dream, so they took up their guns and stopped singing "God Save the Queen." Two hundred years have passed, and Jefferson has become the head of the US dollar bill, but happiness is still unable to circulate. The government and philanthropists provide people with milk and food, provide temporary housing, but still can not give people a happy illusion. Life is bitter, tears are salty. Selling those white "time machines" isn't enough to make a good living, but it's enough to catch the eye of hippie teenage girls and psychopaths. Globalization shrinks people, and movies make them bigger. Anton Lioni's words have exhausted the charm of film art. We have lost our focus, but we still have enough appetite for money and material things. There is a sentence in Kundera's first book, "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" that I read when I was in college: Life often makes us feel hard, and it makes us witness life in various Distortion and deformation under heavy pressure. So we saw, usually polite and courteous, but the father who couldn't stand the graffiti of fuck on the outer wall of the kindergarten, but was taken by him. Life is like a mad dog: I don't pay taxi fares, and I'm rude and rude to jump in line with my friends for fourteen dollars. Struggling for too long at the bottom of society, the survival instinct inadvertently castrates virtue. Envy other people's life so delicate, but their own is so violent. Happiness knocks on the door softly, while misfortune and disaster kick open the door roughly. Therefore, we often say that you miss love and happiness, and disasters and misfortunes will keep entangling you like hooligans on the roadside, and they usually don't pass by carelessly. Victimization is a habit for the weak. In the stable days, we lose our ability to discern the disasters and crises ahead, and we don't care because we usually don't think we're as unlucky as that father. Living is really hard work, but there is always a reason for it. Last night, I had a long talk with a female friend. She said that if it wasn't for this or that concern, it would be better to sit between the rails and die. In fact, I really want to tell her that the more meaningless life is, the more worth living it is. These are the words of Camus, full of our provocation of God's loose destiny. Nietzsche arrogantly said that God is dead, and I softly said that God just left heaven. He wants to give way to a certain happiness and ideal that is concrete in our hearts. Like Will Smith in the film keeps saying to his kids and his wife, we're going to be okay, we're going to be okay. When playing basketball, he also said, "Child, you must protect your dreams." At that moment, I saw that a happy family and children are his true beliefs - there is no red tape and literary style, there is only a warm Shuo Shuo Dongyang of fatherly love. God is different for everyone. God is a girl, God is a gun. At times, they all carry some kind of redemptive reality. When everything in life begins to abandon you, when you start to get tired of that GOD who always uses things like the gospel and original sin to evade and shirk responsibility, fortunately, strong us, we will always find a God and sit in heaven , we don't care, because usually we don't think we're as unlucky as that father.

    This is definitely one of the most affectionate videos I have ever seen! In the film, the father has always had a good temper so that his children can eat. He doesn't care about starving himself or suffers blindfolded eyes... only cares about the people who are most important to him. At the end of the film, the scene of my father walking into the crowd with ease, reminds me of Zhu Ziqing's "Back View", with the same warmth.

    It’s another typical case of Hollywood’s dream machine. It gives you Amway’s American dream. How can you see it? Knowing that it will come from a desperate situation in the end, the ending is arranged, and how can you see it is nothing more than a miserable sale. It's ironic to think about the status quo of people of color in the capital society after becoming a big man. It’s not really miserable to look at it, it’s just the life dilemma caused by his investment failure, and a smart person like him is destined to be temporary. This is not even inspirational for ordinary people, at least for individuals. The conditions are not equal. To put it bluntly, she pretends to be a pig and eat a tiger, pretending to be weak and deceiving her tears. Believe me, this movie is one of the best choices to test the class. Basically, the rich and well-off people I know are easily moved by it, and the inner monologue of the poor, lower and middle peasants like me is basically wtf. . I will never understand the sadness of the petty bourgeoisie.
