If you haven't reached the end, please smile and move on

This is a story about refactoring.
Machines and human beings go from betrayal to trust; daughters go from being disgusted to their fathers to gratitude; earth and human beings go from danger to escape... Many plots of "Transformers 4" reflect the survival and positive changes of objective existence or the spiritual world.
If you have seen the first few movies of "Transformers", you will have this feeling: Autobots and human beings from first acquaintance and cooperation, to distrust, betrayal, and then to a limited trust reconstruction. This is precisely the unavoidable principle of "the golden mean". The good extremes will not last long, and the bad extremes will not last long. There will eventually be a force that pushes them toward a compromise.
This powerful force in the film comes from the "universal spirit" cultivated by an engineer over and over again. He resurrected Optimus Prime with blood, and fought side by side with him with his meager strength; in order to save his daughter, he threw himself into the sea of ​​fire again and again, at the cost of his life; in order to save the earth, he fought to the end with the same kind who betrayed mankind.
Although this is a fictional character, the process of his ascent from the "cave" of the sensory world to the "intellectual world" really touched me. The improvement of his mind allows him to do: as long as there is a little hope, he must persevere.
As an ordinary person, it is understandable to enjoy the "natural realm" that follows one's feelings and benefit from the "utilitarian realm" that emphasizes practical interests. But if you want to live a life in vain and make a difference, you may also need a "moral realm" of "righteousness without profit", or even a "world realm" that transcends the secular and is self-identical to the whole.
With the latter two states of self-consciousness or transcendence, before reaching the edge of the path of life, before burying the petals of the flower of friendship, one will naturally maintain confidence and move forward with a smile. This is life. great wisdom.
But if you want to have this wisdom, you need to start with familiarity with the knowledge accumulated by your predecessors, and reading more classics is the only rule. However, only from the movie can we find evidence that the opening book is beneficial, how hypocritical this person should be. Read more and write more reading notes. Let’s use movie viewing as a means of satisfying visual security.
This time, the IMAX viewing experience gave me a new understanding of 3D movies. The three-dimensional effect is no longer limited to the floating subtitles and the scattered scenery, but really allows the audience to interact with the film story and integrate it into it. The "Transformers" series is worth watching here.
