——After watching "A Star Is Born" Don't take "A Star Is Born" as a simple love tragedy, it actually includes more. Ellie may be all the ideal starters who are eager to get ahead, and Jack may be all the half-way people who are on the bright road but gradually encounter bottlenecks. Ellie is Jack's yesterday, and Jack may be Ellie's tomorrow. First, let’s talk about love. Love is about appreciating each other, fulfilling each other, getting through together, never giving up, and relying on each other. Jack loves Ellie because of her truthfulness to music and unpretentiousness to life. Just like when Ellie became popular, Jack told her on the rooftop that if a piece of music has no soul, it is not real music. He was afraid that she would lose her original intention of creating and expressing music under the temptation of commercial packaging and vanity goals. His words were worries, warnings, and even encouragement. And Ellie loves Jack because of his warmth, his innocence, his kindness, his gentleness, and a trace of his loneliness and melancholy. Jack admires Ellie's talent, spares no effort to support her, excavate her, encourage her, and finally turn her into a butterfly. He is selfless to her. But at the same time, he was also worried about her, not only because he was worried that she would lose her original intention of creating music, but also implied a trace of jealousy for her promising prospects - he was already going downhill, and he advised Ellie not to lose her musical soul At the same time, his soul is on the road of bleak and disintegration. Comparing with Ellie's popularity, and looking at her own embarrassment, there is no way that this comparison will not create a sense of gap, especially when compared with her favorite. The secret of lovers' continuous togetherness is to make progress together. If one side is galloping on the road, while the other side is walking slowly, or even slackening to stop, then the two of them will definitely drift further apart, because not to mention that the distance between their hearts is widening, even the scenery they see along the way will be different. Jack is exhausted. In order to maintain his high passion, he has to resort to drugs, drugs and alcohol. The vigorous love failed to refresh him, but he felt pressured under the dazzling starlight of his lover. He drank, he used drugs, he To speak ill of her is actually annoyance at his own inability to keep up with Ellie's footsteps, as well as his helplessness and dissatisfaction with his own past situations, but he wrongly chose the direction of venting. Ellie, on the other hand, is full of longing for the future. On the way forward, she longs to take Jack with her, just as Jack took her on the stage. She has encouraged, pleaded, fought, and explained to her family and her agent how much she hopes to see again the warm, optimistic person who gently put ice peas on her injured hand on the street late at night , without hesitation Jack! Unfortunately, on the one hand, she is controlled by others and has to devote a lot of time and energy to her career. On the other hand, Jack's mental illness is terminally ill, just like a drowning person sinking on the edge of the wreck of the Titanic. No matter how long your arms are, you will never be able to keep them. Their love is not wrong. They also love each other deeply. Just fortune-telling. Second, let’s talk about mental health. In our modern society, in fact, everyone has mental illnesses, but the degree is different. In essence, we are all mentally ill. The difference is that people with strong self-control can control and let themselves People with poor self-control can only let the madness spread, devour themselves, and possibly hurt others. Ellie's mental illness is low self-esteem and cowardice. Ellie's inferiority complex does not come from her family. In fact, her father has always affirmed his daughter's musical talent, and has been nurturing her. He has accompany her to practice the piano since she was a child, and appreciates her daughter's creations. When the opportunity comes, he is even more excited and enthusiastic than her daughter. When her daughter is hurt, even if The son-in-law was the daughter's Bole back then, and it was the beginning of all this glory, and he would still be eager to protect the daughter and get angry, regardless of the fact that this drunk and ugly man used to be their benefactor. For the sake of profit, it is almost ruthless, and we can only interpret it as a deep affection for the calf. Ellie's inferiority complex stems from her own appearance, especially her big nose that people make fun of. Because of this flaw, she has missed many opportunities to show her talents and can only go to the bottom of the society in her spare time. perform in. In her mind, she already considered herself one of them, the most humble group in this social class, and she didn't dare to resist the rude cursing from the manager of her part-time restaurant. She doesn't dare to yearn for love. Just look at her hysterical scolding to all men after she hung up her boyfriend's phone call in the bathroom at the beginning, and you can see how desperate she is about love. She has low self-esteem and is a little resigned to her fate. It is precisely because of her low self-esteem that she lacks courage and is uneasy about the good luck that may come. Because she is afraid of the shame brought by failure, she would rather miss the opportunity and maintain her little self-esteem. If it wasn't for Jack's arrival, and Jack's insight, she might have traveled between restaurants and nightclubs all her life, when a humble waiter and a low-end singer, it was Jack, like a passionate flame, that ignited her Life has forged her golden sand and made her truly become the glory of gold. Therefore, Jack is not so much a Bole, a lover, and a husband as a doctor for her. He healed her pain with exclamation, praise and caress, and made her find her own self. letter, and ran out of control on the Walk of Fame in the Temple of Music. And Jack, who is good at treating Ellie, is not so lucky. He has not met his own doctor, some are a team of brokers who are extracting benefits, some are relatives who combine family affection and resentment, some are ruthless and ruthless. Brokers as greedy as vampires and wolves. The only good friend who gave him the warmth of friendship, but failed to enter his heart, and his favorite Ai Li, also failed to really see his problems, busy with his career and complaining about his depression, which made her miss him. The best time to intervene. Jack suffered from depression. Alcoholism, drug addiction and drug addiction were just the appearance of his attempts to save himself. He didn't really want to die, but he really lost the direction of struggle. No one could really understand him, even Ellie only stayed in a superficial understanding, and even hated him for a while and spoke coldly. The root of Jack's mental illness comes from two aspects, one is the lack of family affection, and the other is the torture of illness. The relationship between Jack and his father was cold. Since he was a child, his father regarded him as a drinking companion more than a son. After his parents died early, his half-brother, who was very different in age, took on the role of his father again - but we learn from Jack. He knew from his mouth that obviously this older brother was not very conscientious, and he was even more unwilling to live under the dazzling starlight of his younger brother Jack. So Jack lacks a sense of security in his heart, he longs for family affection, and his friendliness and warmth towards Ellie are the reflection of his longing for others to treat him the same way. But he found that he had never been able to find this sense of security, and the warmth he got could never be grasped. Before Ellie became famous, his heart was solid, and he was happy to help her grow up. Once Ellie became a blockbuster When he was flying into the sky, he felt terrified and had a premonition that he would drift away from her, until in the end he couldn't catch her, just like the various losses he had experienced since he was a child. On the other hand, as a musician, he had a huge defect since he was a child, that is, tinnitus. As he grew older, his hearing gradually lost, and finally he had to use hearing aids and sedative drugs to get on the stage. This disease For his profession, it is undoubtedly fatal. So he drank heavily and tried to find a solution from the trance state, but it backfired. The more he did, the more he failed, and even for a job, the former famous country music superstar had to be in someone else's band. A green leaf of , this is actually a humiliation for him who was once brilliant. He was still trying to get on the right track, trying to re-manage his relationship with Ellie, but Ellie's agent's private warning was the last straw that overwhelmed him, and he believed , If he can't cheer himself up, he will become Ellie's trouble again, everyone's laughing stock, the clown in his peers, he can't bear this humiliation again, in order to relieve himself and protect Ellie, he chose to commit suicide. Jack is actually very pitiful. In this world, no one understands him. He loves others, but others may not love him. No one helped him resolve his childhood trauma, lack of family affection, career bottlenecks, spiritual anxiety, and fears in the relationship between husband and wife. Even if Ellie gave him sincere love, there was still no one who really into his heart. He chose to die decisively. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a tragedy, but in his eyes, it was nothing but a relief: from now on, he could no longer worry about all kinds of worries and bear all kinds of relationships. By going, it will avoid more neglect and trampling in the future, and also avoid the crisis of rivalry that may eventually evolve between husband and wife. This is like Leslie Cheung's volley, and the moment becomes eternity. At least, after his death, people think of him again, perform his classic songs again, and also attend his memorial meeting to remember him - although it may be more for Ellie's face. 3. On the road of life, what kind of life will we lose? There are twists and turns, and there are few smooth roads. When we go alone, we have no worries, but we lack the warmth given by our companions. At times, they are always afraid of unpredictable separation. There is a lyric that condenses well: one person is afraid of loneliness, and two people are afraid of disappointment. On the road of life, everyone is lonely, so everyone is looking for a partner, whether in career or in life, because the loneliness of no one cares will make people fall into a vacuum of isolation. But everything in the world changes, and the only constant is change itself. So are feelings. Jack and Ellie were originally close, but when there was a gap in their identities, their relationship was also affected. Jack felt the decline of his career brought about by his past, and it was difficult to face up to Ellie's rapid rise. He was not afraid of Ellie's success, but worried about his own stagnation. If lovers cannot advance and retreat together, there will be gaps in the journey, and most of the endings will not be happy. A lot of times, when two people meet each other opposite each other, if they lose their candid treatment, there will be estrangement, just like the first quarrel between Jack and Ellie. So, don't lose honesty, at least be honest with yourself and your loved ones, lovers, lovers, and friends. On the other hand, if you take fame and fortune too seriously, you will lose your composure and composure. The heavier one will become the most stressful force for you. Jack couldn't accept his fate, even if he accepted the job of guitarist in another band, he would not be reconciled, otherwise he would not get drunk before going on stage and directly screw up his wife Ellie's award ceremony. All his alcoholism, drug use, and drug use stemmed from his anxiety and unwillingness to the low point of his life, and as a result, he fell into a vicious circle of "unwillingness - anesthesia - making a fool of yourself - unwilling to anesthetize again - making a fool of yourself again", and finally destroyed himself. And as a new star, Ellie, will she always shine as a star? When she loses her original intention of music and becomes a pawn in a business game, her crisis will come, and her ending may be like Jack. The moon is profitable and the water is full, and the water overflows. The ancient Chinese teaching is a warning to Ellie who has invested in Vanity Fair. You pay too much attention to the interests outside the relationship, and you will inevitably weaken the care within the relationship accordingly. Just imagine, when the stars shine but lost the beloved Ellie, if the god of fate tells her that time can be reversed, she can still meet the optimistic and warm Jack from the beginning, and the two can continue to live this kind of love between men and women, but Ellie Wouldn't it be the life of a new star, and would she embrace it? If she loved Jack more than glory, maybe she would. Perhaps, a normal mind can truly balance an unbalanced life. Victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged, and wealth is like a cloud, will you be more open-minded? So, can Ellie give Jack more love and care? And Jack can also hang his crown calmly, pick chrysanthemums and go away, and will not die decisively, but he is a world away? This ordinary heart is the most easy thing to lose on the road of life. It's too easy to get lost in things other than life and death, especially fame and fortune. 2020.3.8
