The watching process of "Addicted" is definitely a tribulation. The more I watch it, the more I get upset, the more I watch it, the more desperate. The director is determined to tear up the beauty for others. I have to step on a few feet hard until it grinds into dust, and I can see people's chills rising from the bottom of my heart. After reading it, it took a long time to come back to life. Although I was tortured to look at the sun outside the window to prove that the world is still beautiful, I still can't help thinking, absolutely good film, even though it is so dark. Turned around and recommended it to friends. Friends who have no experience in watching movies like this asked: How does it compare with "Dancer in the Dark"? Haha, I secretly laughed. Although there is a "darkness" in the name, compared with the terrible "Addiction", the former is simply overflowing with warmth. As I said a long time ago, imagination is invalid for cult movies. The impact of "Addicted" on people is too direct and shocking, naked and pure, as if the bullet directly penetrates the body, rather than staying in the body, it is really terrifying. This kind of movie watching experience is the first time in my life. In the end, the pain gets worse, the sharp editing, the rushing soundtrack, and the frantically shaking scenes, it is like a whip that beats the soul fiercely, and the feeling that the soul conveys to the body is only one word: cold. Chill from the inside out. Can’t help asking: so painful, so cold, so weak, why? Those who are destined to live together are those who are connected by blood, have ears and temples, and also have arrogance. They love each other but cannot warm each other. They are immersed in a world of uncontrollable desire and numbness, and cannot extricate themselves. Family affection, friendship, and love are equally indispensable, but there is no trace of heating; dreams, hopes, and longings are all complete, but they are constantly sinking in the darkness and out of control, and personally dig the grave for their dreams. The warmth of the past, in the coldness of reality, faintly reveals a dim glow. It's this little brilliance that makes people heartache. Harry's mother Sarah lives alone and widowed. An entertaining TV show is her favorite and her only spiritual sustenance. When she knew that she had the opportunity to be on the show, her silent life suddenly ignited to boiling point. She turned out the red dress that she hadn't worn for many years. This red dress is closely related to her passing life and happy moments. It has witnessed her happiest and most satisfying moments. It is the only link between her and the happy life of the past. In order to reproduce the past, she wants to lose weight, she must lose weight. In many cases, "must" is a bit fatalistic, and once it starts, it cannot be reversed. When her son discovered that she was addicted to diet pills and was accused by her son, Sarah said, I am old and I am lonely. The pain knocked Harry speechless. She also said that because of that red dress, that hope, I have sunshine and I am happy. This is a rare warm word in the film. With her forbearing tears and tired smile, this faint warmth is so piercing. Looking back, this is the most important action of the characters in this film. Only when people are dissatisfied with reality and hopeless in the future, can they miss the past infinitely, and a small moment of happiness in the past will be infinitely magnified. Harry's mother is like this, so is Harry's friend Dick. Dick has a dream, and perhaps there is a naive reason that supports this dream: to make his mother proud. When he went astray and was tortured by drug addiction, he repeatedly remembered the sweet and small happiness when he was with his mother when he was a child. Although he always remembered his mother's tender hope: I don't want you to be a great hero, I only want you to be a good child of his mother. However, he has been away from his mother for too long, and he has forgotten how to be his mother's good child. If a person has been living in peaceful despair, it is like lying on the cold concrete floor for years and waiting for death. However, once you realize the existence of this kind of despair, you will become anxious and uneasy. In this film, several young people find drugs, and Sarah finds an entertainment show. The more lonely you are, the more you want to love. The deeper you love, the more you become addicted and even lose yourself. The indescribable vain desire in the heart must be filled, so addiction becomes the external form of this hunger and thirst, and when this external form enters the room to fully attack the spiritual realm, the crisis really broke out. Consciousness and life are beginning to break away from self-control. When things outside the body rather than your will control you, we see that once powerful people, people who are said to be the spirit of all things, are so humble that they are not as humble as worms. The reason that made them so humble was actually so brilliant: dreams, hopes, and love. Ah! What irony: we are crawling on the ground, no longer noble, because we have love! Have a dream! Dreams cannot be translated into reality. Under the stimulus of drugs, reality is subjective, blurred, and weird, and isolated from the red-hot external world. Yes, the film strongly shows the lustful dreams and closed reality of these four people. Sadly, they stubbornly live in the dream reality they have created, but they cannot avoid their collision with the real reality. The real reality is objective, hard, and cold, and it often manipulates and abuses you before you realize it. Reality shatters dreams, and reality makes illusion nowhere to hide. In the face of this real world, you must act, and what is more sad is that this is a group of creatures that have lost the ability to act. The ability to act is lost, the ability to love also fades, they can only sink into themselves. In the reinforced concrete city, people seem to prefer to live in their own shadows, and they are more focused and even exaggerate their love and hatred. Has this unprecedented sensitivity to one's own feelings caused people to be numb to the outside world, neglecting and insensitive to other people's emotions, and causing modern people to become more and more incompetent? In a modern city where people are increasingly alienated and emotions are increasingly drying up, our emotional life is gradually being squeezed by things outside the body, and the emotion itself is reduced to a weeping fate. Once upon a time, the power of love was praised like that: love allows us to be beautiful, love makes us fearless, love makes us fearless, and these are all shattered by this cold film. In Harry's world, love can't bring about happiness, foster dignity, or achieve dreams. On the contrary, it hurts each other with blood in the name of love. Whose fault? Harry loves his mother, but he doesn't know how to love. The communication between him and his mother is simple and rough. He thinks he can give his mother what he needs, but he doesn't know that what his mother needs is precisely him. Harry and his girlfriend Marian love each other deeply, but this love has not been able to promote them to create a happy and happy future. As their lives become darker and chaotic, Marian's own brand clothing store is already an unattainable castle in the sky. Dick wanted to do great things to make his mother proud, but he did not understand the heart of a mother, misunderstood the mother's original intention, and misunderstood life. I don’t know if they are addicted to drugs, have they ever thought: When you escape reality, indulge desires, and become addicted to something, and this addiction sweeps through all your perception and action abilities, this is a deep pathology , And such a pathological body and mind is unable to carry dreams, let alone promise or even create the future. As Wang Xiaobo said in "The Great Clan", they believe that any beautiful dream can come true-in other words, the dream that cannot come true is itself not beautiful. If things are not done, it is impossible to do it; if things are done, but not good, it is like a nightmare, because it was wrong from the beginning. Emily Dickinson has a poem: I died for beauty, but / when a person who died for the truth / was buried in an adjacent tomb / I have not settled in the grave / he asked me softly Why did it fail? / "For the sake of beauty", I replied / "I, for the sake of truth, they are the same / We are like-minded." Truth and beauty are often like the stars of the dark kingdom, illuminating the hearts of walkers, guiding them along a "glorious road of thorns", even if they are finally buried in the grave, they are still firm and safe; and Harry and the others, Although they have the same beauty and true desires, these beautiful stars failed to illuminate their hearts and guide them in the right direction. Therefore, even if they were bruised by thorns, their body and mind were torn apart, they still could not escape from their dreams and heartbreak. The tragic fate of the Requiem. The tomb of the former was built in heaven, while the tomb of the latter was built in hell. This film is also known as "Requiem of Dreams". Everyone has dreams, dreams are too deep, nightmares are repeated, and finally unconscious; if you go too far, you go more and more divergent, suddenly looking back, the path is hidden in the grass. There is no trace to be found. Therefore, in the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, only the vibrant spring is absent. 2008.9.25
