Until the end of the film, Benjamin, who will meet his beloved many years later, has become a child barely tall enough to reach Daisy's waist. The face of his former lover made him feel strange and terrified, "Do we know each other? I think now It’s like I’ve had a whole life, but I can’t remember what it looks like now.”-I didn’t realize it until this moment. It turned out that facing those calm scenes before, our tears were not only for Benjamin and Dai The flow to the west is also for ourselves. We cry because we have discovered an amazing secret and feel lost. Because in such an incredible fantasy life, we actually saw our own shadow-this is Benjamin Button The unspoken secret of his story: In fact, each of us suffers from a terminal illness such as "aging disease", but it is difficult to detect because of the different symptoms from Benjamin.
We shed tears, probably because we have discovered these hidden minutiae. From the moment we left the mother body, we already knew how to use crying to announce our coming to the world. We babbled and called the first "Mother" vaguely; we couldn't help but curiously pointed at all kinds of jumping meetings. Little animals jumping and peeing around explore the world for their names, learn to describe, describe and record their stories; we play and fight with our friends because we learn to quarrel because we grab a toy, we learn ellipsis, full stop, and exclamation mark in Chinese class; We read the story of "High mountains and flowing water meet friends" in textbooks and understand what is "knowing elegance by hearing string songs". We found that shyness can be a kind of reservedness, and the signal of ambiguity can also be conveyed by autumn waves; we understand that although the world is big, it is not. Owned by oneself, everything must be controlled in the heart, and we will try to figure out while we are in and out of us. We are familiar with hiding mistakes and meaningless words that vary from person to person. We use verses and allusions instead of lengthy chapters and sentences. Learn to listen to what you say, what you want, watch play in play, outside play... As we age, the skin begins to relax, and fine lines appear on the temples. We practice various grammar and expression skills, but we can be fluent But the vocabulary we use freely is getting less and less. In the end, our language ability is not even as good as that of a newborn baby. At least they can cry fearlessly, and we have to be silent.
More than that, time carries scars, bloodstains, love, and attachment. When we experience more and more things, our memory declines with age. When we think we remember everything, we find that we have forgotten everything. We have to escape, but we can only hide our experience and let the brain become a poisoned magnetic field that cannot be opened, because memory is more sad than forgetting; more and more knowledge is accumulated, but the meaning of things is diluted It has become more and more vague, and over time, I don’t even care about it. That’s because we understand that the greatest sorrow of human beings is nothing more than this-reluctantly use a few abstract symbols and words to convey those things that can only be understood by the heart, and the world is still very New, many things don’t have names yet. We can only reach out and point out like a newborn child who does not have the ability to express themselves. Everyone is the love of another person in a lifetime. People, but most of the time the other party is out of fashion, you are old, he is young, you are young, he is old; you are married, he has not yet married, a woman named Xiaoqian is still looking for the ultimate love in the world, Ning The picker has his wife in this world. We are doomed to lose the people we love, otherwise we would not know how important they are to us. The passage of time has not allowed us to have more love than when we first arrived. At least then, there were still parents who greeted us with smiles and expectation. In the end, everyone had to leave alone.
I thought that the story of Benjamin and Daisy was the jealousy of time. I turned such a beautiful love into a stream of tears. I thought my pity was for Daisy. Watching her lover turn into a baby in her arms and die, watch her embrace her. Benjamin is like hugging the melting body of a snowman, but in fact I can feel more sadness. Just like Ben’s father discarded him like a monster at the beginning, people are constantly making choices because of various normal standards and principles. We have chosen a correct life, but such a life is correct. Also very lonely.
Aging disease is a terminal illness that everyone suffers from. This is the secret of kindness as Benjamin Button never said. In order to have a normal, standard or better life than these principles, people lose their enthusiasm for consuming new life in the pursuit, and finally get exhausted in order to become like a fetus in the mother's womb: the eyes are For others, the mouth belongs to others, and the body also belongs to others. There is no mind, no soul, no likes and dislikes. If there is really anything, it is probably only the perpetual pursuit of the standard answer.
Some critics say that the director David Fincher’s handling of the film is very "cold", thinking that the whole film is nothing more than a rewinding life perspective to illustrate love issues, which is even more lacking compared with "Forrest Gump" The loyalty to the country and other elements of humanity are taken as grand propositions. In fact, combined with the origin of the film’s original creative idea and Mark Twain’s words-"If we can be 80 years old when we are born, and gradually approach 18 years old, life will be better", we can know that this film is only used as a Romance movies are too limited to understand. And cold treatment is also a very suitable method. Benjamin Button’s physical inversion is so obvious that it is enough for him to realize the shortcomings of the reality that "everyone is living an inverted life", so we see Benjamin Calm and pure, he will not be hysterical in the face of his father's confession. It is precisely the weird and absurd physical defect that gave him a sharp look and a peaceful mind. If you think of the vast scroll of history and the vicissitudes of human civilization and progress, and then examine the sentimental and fickle postmodern as a child, can it be said that the history of mankind has also been suspended by this world and era?
As for other grand propositional elements, I think we are committed to discarding it after watching this film. Regardless of class, race, gender, or other arbitrary self-identities, life paradigms like Benjamin’s subverted are too superficial in a sense, and it is difficult for them to show the consistency of people’s self-identities—the so-called life The way is nothing more than doing all the human affairs, but also understanding that there is a will, and the gains and losses can be wide.
