time and experience

In 2009, I watched Richard Linklater's before sunset and sunset series for the first time, and I vaguely remember the first sentence of the afterthought written at that time, "The topic of time is always sad." This is another film about "time", and the film itself was shot over a 12-year span. In the movie, Mason's mother suddenly collapsed and said: "divorce, move, get a degree, send you to junior high school, high school, and college, and then, is it my funeral? I thought there would be more, but in fact, there won't be more." In the end, many people will ask themselves like mothers, what does time mean to us for everyone who has experienced time? In the movie, the stepfather and Mason, who was wearing nail polish in a rebellious period, said, "When I was in high school, it was cool to have a job, have responsibilities, and be able to afford a car." Mason didn't understand at that time. What do these words of stepfather mean. When the stepfather tried to tell Mason what responsibility was, he couldn't communicate with a young man who had not experienced much across time and experience. For Mason, it was just "truth". Yes, you can't go beyond time and experience to share your life insights with someone who is still upstream. This is what time means to those who have experienced it and those who have not experienced it. However, after growing up, Mason does not know what time brings to life, but those "truths" have become "experiences". My father said to Mason, "Does the meaning of life matter? Does it matter? It's all your perceptions that matter." yes. It doesn't matter what kind of life you live...what matters is how you think of it.

In 12 years, like the trilogy of "Love Is in" and the 6-hour "Splendid Life", I am destined to like the longest Proust narrative, or that sentence, which looks like my own Life is as short as everything I have lost.

Dad: [Mason Jr. bowls a gutterball] Alright, don't worry about it.
Mason: I wish I could use the bumpers...
Dad: You don't want the bumpers, life doesn't give you bumpers.

Samantha: [as the family leaves their house for the last time before moving] Goodbye, yard! Goodbye, crepe myrtle! Goodbye, mailbox! Goodbye, box of stuff Mommy won't let us take with us but we don't want to throw away. Goodbye, house, I'll never like Mommy as much for making us move!
Mom: Samantha! Why don't you say goodbye to that little horseshit attitude, okay, because we're not taking that in the car.
