Despair in fantasy

Celestine 2022-04-21 09:01:20

I didn't expect that I would be able to watch a 3.5 hour movie in one go when I had a cold.
The film shows a lot of stories at once, which seem to be connected and unrelated, like a bunch of threads that are constantly being cut and unorganized. In fact, there is no need to think about the connection of everything. Everyone in life, whether adults or children, whether men or women, has a lot of pressure. These pressures make us breathless, but no one wants to open up to others, no one Willing to forgive others, so conflict, fight, contradiction, despair. . . It escalated step by step until a toad rain appeared, and the emotions were vented to the extreme. It was expressed in such a strange way. It seemed that there was any possibility of things, which gave people an inexplicable hope. . . But when you think about it, this hope is actually a kind of despair. . . The film from 1999 still seems so profound.

    Linda Partridge: Who the fuck are you, who the fuck do you think you are? I come in here, you don't know me, you don't know who I am, what my life is, you have the balls, the indecency to ask me a question about my life?

I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? "What's wrong?" Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where's your fucking decency? And then I'm asked fucking questions. What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you.
