understanding and happiness

Lu Xun once said that there are tricks and tricks, and they are effective, but limited.
I remember there was such a paragraph at the end of "Once Upon a Time in America", Congressman MAX told the returning noodles that he had taken away the common property of DEBORAH and 4 friends, and made him feel guilty for more than 30 years. MAX hopes that the noodles will also experience it. to the pain of such betrayal; the noodles stared at the max and slowly told each other, I have a different story...
This episode has always been regarded as a portrayal of noodles escaping reality, but I always insisted that The different stories of noodles are just to tell Max, we have experienced so much together, as long as we were friends for one day, we will always be friends in the future. As for why max will lose all thoughts and self-destruct after listening to these words. I would like to quote a passage from Chu Liuxiang to illustrate the most appropriate:

after a long time, Yin Ji suddenly turned around and stared at Chu Liuxiang, and said, "Do you think I really killed her because she saved me?
Chu Liuxiang pondered and said, "I don't think you are such a person." Yin Ji said
, "Does she understand me better than you do?"
Chu Liuxiang said, "That's only because she herself is this kind of person, so she will Treat you like her."

Gu Long once commented that friends can tolerate each other's shortcomings and shortcomings, and understand each other's difficulties and contradictions.
I have always thought that the concept of "righteousness" in traditional Chinese culture is the core. We have read many stories since we were young. The protagonist of the story may not conform to the general moral standards for various reasons, and may be unfaithful, unfilial or unbelieving, but as long as he still If you can keep your promises to others and give to your friends, you will win the respect of the world. For example, specializing in stabbing officials, such as Guan Bao's acquaintance, such as on Huarong Road. . . . There is a story in "Han Feizi" called "Kui Yizu". It is said that a person asked Confucius, Kui Yizhi, does he mean that this person has only one foot? Confucius replied that this is not the case, but said that Kui is very cruel and lacks goodness, but he is proficient in rhythm, so it is enough to have one. I think that changing the rhythm in this story to the meaning character is the best way to reflect traditional culture. The reason why many gangster movies are attractive now is simply because of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes reflected in them. Therefore, people can be unpatriotic, unreasonable, and can kill and set fire, but they can't be loyal, and they can't be unhappy with their grudges. We all have some such complexes. The inexhaustible wine in the cup, the inexhaustible head of the enemy, I would expect many people to look up to such a state.
I heard that writing an article is to talk about echoes before and after. My level is limited, so I can’t go back to echo, so I might as well just spread it out and say a few more digressions. The ancients said read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. It means to have knowledge and experience. Book lovers can introspect from books, comprehend and correct many of their character flaws. And movies, the movie itself may not be aimed at preaching, but each movie can let me see a different life, and let me discover that outside the monotonous 8 hours in the world, there are still people living in such a magnificent way, and still Some people can be so free from the fetters of material things and the shackles of the world. In "The Company", the Russian spy Yevgene was born in the privileged class. After becoming a spy, he lived the most ordinary life in order to hide his identity. Beside the river, I gently held my lover's hand in the old place more than 30 years ago, and I begged for forgiveness. These comparisons can't help but make people sigh about their own insignificance and shallowness, as if a frog stepped out of the well: the world turned out to be so wonderful!

    251 minute special edition. It would be great if the whole film was used in full storytelling! What if the adult Deborah was still so pretty! The cross narrative makes it difficult to calmly integrate into the story, but distracts attention, especially the previous part makes it difficult to quickly enter the state. I especially like the part where five teenagers wander on the street. I like the part where Paixi bought a cake and went to have a game and finally ate it by herself, haha! The 14-year-old Jennifer is the most beautiful girl in the world!

    Years make people grow old. 30 years later, the memories of the past are bittersweet.

Once Upon a Time in America quotes

  • Frankie Minaldi: Hey, Joe, tell these guys the story about the pussy being insured. What is it? Tell these guys how you stumbled on this whole thing. Tell them the story. Come on. Pussy insurance, the insurance pussies. Tell them that story.

    Joe Minaldi: Life is stranger than shit, that's all. It's a pisser. No big story. I got this insurance agent, this Jew kid named David. He conned me into every policy in the world. Every policy, name it, dogs, house, wife, life, anything. I'm drinking with the boys one night. He comes in with his wife, a brunette with a nice ass who works for a jeweller. And he's still on the hustle, this guy. So I wink at the guys, I say, "Look... the most serious policy, you don't have me covered for." He goes, "What's that, Joe?" "Cock insurance. You make me a policy that when it don't work, I get a payment. I'll write out a check now." He thinks, and he says, "I don't know if the actuality gauges govern this... but we can make a policy. But you gotta guarantee you're in good health now." I says, "Look, leave her with me. Come back and see if it stands up. If it stands up, you know I'm in good health." The jerk leaves her. I screw her. Not only that, she likes it. And she tells me when her boss, the jeweller is shipping stones to Holland, where he keeps his stash - in a drawer in the safe - everything! Can't ask for more, right? Except, one better. I never paid the first premium on the new cock policy.

    Max: [laughing] Cock insurance...

    Joe Minaldi: Life is funnier than shit. But... be easy with the girl. I mean that. Be easy with the girl.
