I happened to see "A Star Is Born" on HBO TV yesterday. If I hadn't heard the song "shallow", I wouldn't have known it was played by Lady Gaga, sorry for my ignorance.
After watching the movie, when Jackson committed suicide, I burst into tears and covered it up from time to time for fear of being discovered by my family who didn't watch TV.
I don't care how much ink was spent on Gaga in this movie, I didn't know her very well.
I was more impressed by Jack.
As a generation of rock stars, Jack is full of talent and passion, but also alcohol and drug addiction, emotional instability. But Jack finds and makes Ally popular, and loves her with all his heart. When she became a world superstar, in order to avoid his alcoholism and emotional breakdown from bringing her another negative impact, and also to free himself, he chose to die silently.
As he went, only the dog watched silently at the empty car.
Ally was singing his song "shallow" in the stadium at this time, attracting attention and thunderous applause.
Talented people are suffering the beauty of life that ordinary people cannot perceive. They keenly capture the beauty and interpret life, and are willing to pass it on to us so that we can empathize together. At the same time, they also interpret the inevitable helplessness, such as the departure of a loved one. , such as the absence of love, such as the passage of time, such as ugly humanity. Often, they do not choose to pass on the weight of life, but only bear it themselves.
With no choice but to fall, the rise of a generation of superstars also means the end of the previous generation. No one can compete with time.
Jack's loss, escape, and even death, you can't say that he is a loser, he is just bearing the weight of his life brought about by his sensitivity. His inner world is a hundred times richer than mine.
As a normal person, I am lucky. In addition to appreciating the beauty and touches that these geniuses have created for us, we have a lot less heaviness and helplessness. Just like the inability to capture beauty like the Jacks, we are just as sluggish in the face of these heaviness.
Living like a fool is not a blessing.
