The movie is 158 minutes long and I want to sleep watching it. There is no doubt that this is equivalent to the documentary of a simple ordinary person's childhood to college.
In the past 12 years, the details and life plots between the protagonist and his parents are what he watched the most. He also encountered helplessness, longed for friends, longed for freedom, and wanted to prove that he was alive, so he wanted to do what he wanted to do. But because we are young and inexperienced, we are easy to be depressed and confused. When we can't find our way, we will easily fall. When we love one thing, we will be obsessed with it, but some things next to it may be ignored! In the face of the outside world, we are easy to get lost and disturbed. We will lose ourselves. We have done bad things with those friends. We are also thinking about loneliness and experiencing loneliness. We want to find a like-minded person to travel around the world. The way to go is not to take risks.
Facing feelings is also confused, what is love, when you understand the feeling of liking someone, you will be strangely controlled by this emotion, and have been fantasizing about the real soul mate all the time.
At the end of the film, the protagonist discussed life with his new and strong college classmates. In our short life, we really should grasp the time, but how to grasp it, the time will never be returned to anyone, and life is a human experience. Wasting is your Tao, we are experiencing our own Tao.
To be honest, the film is neither touching nor exciting, just like our life, I understand it, it's flat. . .

  • Mason: I finally figured it out. It's like when they realized it was gonna be too expensive to actually build cyborgs and robots. I mean, the costs of that were impossible. They decided to just let humans turn themselves into robots. That's what's going on right now. I mean, why not? They're billions of us just laying around, not really doing anything. We don't cost anything. We're even pretty good at self-maintenance and reproducing constantly. And as it turns out, we're already biologically programmed for our little cyborg upgrades. I read this thing the other day about how When you hear that ding on your inbox, you get like a dopamine rush in your brain. It's like we're being chemically rewarded for allowing ourselves to be brainwashed. How evil is that? We're fucked.

  • Mason: So what's the point?

    Dad: Of what?

    Mason: I don't know, any of this. Everything.

    Dad: Everything? What's the point? I mean, I sure as shit don't know. Neither does anybody else, okay? We're all just winging it, you know? The good news is you're feeling stuff. And you've got to hold on to that.
