Wonderful but forgettable , that sounds like a picture I've seen. I probably wrote it.
(Wonderful but unmarked, sounds like a movie I've seen, I'm probably still a screenwriter)
Subjectively, the above sentence shows the point where the protagonist of the whole film always wants to escape from reality.
The protagonist is a major Hollywood screenwriter by profession, earns a lot of money, and has a sexy fiancee.
The winner in life is just that.
Why are people sad? What you get is not what you want.
The protagonist wants to settle in Paris, but his fiancée doesn't plan to leave the United States; the protagonist wants to walk in the rain, but his fiancée just wants to take a taxi to avoid the rain; the protagonist doesn't like his fiancée's friends and can't get along with his fiancée's parents; the protagonist wants to write a novel, but his fiancée wants him to keep writing about himself Best screenplay ever...
The thoughts of the protagonist and his fiancee are completely different.
Not being understood is the root of all suffering.
Probably because of these, he wanted to escape from reality and felt that the 20th century was the golden age.
He believes that that era was full of imagination and passion. Not these lively but unmarked lives today.
So, at the stroke of midnight, Paris brings him the car that travels through time and space.
He broke into the golden age of his dreams.
Talk to Hemingway, fall in love with Picasso's mistress, meet neurotic celebrity couples, hear the original "Oyster" song, even give them a review of a book he's written...
Becoming friends with celebrities of the last century was something that he could never dream of, but he met Adriana, whom even Picasso Hemingway loved, and fell in love with him...
The world of Jill, the little guy, is suddenly dazzling.
At this heyday, he and Adriana entered the golden age in Adriana's mind, the 19th century.
They met Gauguin at Maxim's Restaurant and met more celebrities in the 19th century, but found that those people also hated their present, and felt that the Renaissance was the real golden age...
He suddenly understood.
There was no such thing as a golden age.
The golden age is a kind of escape, dissatisfied with reality, dissatisfied with one's own life, so begin to resent the age, blame all the pain on bad luck, in order to save yourself from the pain.
Half a month ago, because of my extreme dissatisfaction with the status quo, I resigned naked. I felt that the people around me were not worthy of me, and the people around me couldn't understand me... I live in great pain every day.
In the past two weeks, I finished writing a full-length novel to the point of prostration, only to realize that writing is really such a difficult thing.
The talent I thought, the soul suddenly disappeared, and a barely 80,000-word novel could make me almost tear my soul to pieces, and live like a walking dead in a trance every day.
Finally understand the reason for the bitter tears.
There are too many talented people, and my little talent is not enough to support my dream of being a writer.
And I didn't want to live such a trance-to-collapse day, I thought that 9-5 was ruining my soul.
Now I finally understand that 9 to 5 saved me. Let me live in peace, have the heart to dream, and have time to let go.
Instead of living in trance tension every day.
what. It turned out that the writing that I always thought was a better way was false.
A utopia created by dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Live your life well, there is no such thing as a golden age in this world.
Reconciliation with yourself is the most important thing.
At the end of the film, didn't the protagonist also find a girl who also thinks Paris is more beautiful walking in the rain. (I'm really curious about not holding an umbrella in the rainstorm~ Aren't you worried about catching a cold?)
Only when you understand that everything becomes real, you will know how the real life should go.
