When you get close, it becomes ordinary

I always felt that this film was telling a fable.

A superman, a superwoman, are good enough to do everything, including immortality. They seemed like a natural couple, and they must have thought so themselves, that they bonded. At this time, they found that the super power suddenly disappeared, and both parties became ordinary people, mortals who would grow old and die. Only by staying away from each other can you be a superman. So, they separated, but they were not reconciled. They tried to reunite every few hundred years, but it was futile.

There are many such men and women around us, each of them is good enough. In the eyes of others, they are a perfect match, and they are also attracted to each other. Naturally, they get closer and closer, and those who are impatient will combine. After all, where else can we find such a good match. Yes. When they got close, the problem came, and it was soon discovered that the other party was actually very ordinary. If it were two ordinary people, it would be good to live a normal life like this. But excellent people don't think so. They have to leave, but they are not reconciled. All the energy is exhausted in the separation and closing. The excellence is not there, and they are dying. In the end, just leave.

But why? There is no answer in the movie, nor in life

    It's really different, the focus is not on the action scenes. In the first half, Hancock was quite popular when he won the public, but he changed the angle in the second half.

    Last time I saw Will Smith in Shanghai, he was as tall and mighty as Hancock in the film. A ridiculous movie, no comment. He saved her when he was a black slave, and met her again after he lost his memory, but they were destined to separate for each other. Superheroes are destined to live alone.
