I've been asking myself a lot lately, is it a good thing to be sensitive and sensitive?
Naturally highly sensitive constitution allows me to have a stronger perception and insight into the external environment, and inconspicuous details will also be endowed with emotions.
It is free, the flight of thoughts is not hindered by the passage of time.
It's also rich and makes me feel the meaning of more time in a limited space.
And Frank in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" personally demonstrated what is called the originator of a highly sensitive physique.
Fighting on the battlefield, he was a soldier all his life, and he eventually lost his sight unexpectedly.
The former battlefield heroes have slipped from the peak of life to the bottom of the valley.
He is fickle, and only allows others to call him Colonel; he is drunk all day long, and hates others for mixing water in his wine; he is keen to call pornographic hotlines and talk dirty.
But isn't his old radar as sharp?
The 17-year-old Charlie took on the part-time job of nursing Frank on Thanksgiving. Frank said, "The whole world is on your shoulders." It's easy to explain Charlie's troubles.
Some people see the world with their eyes, while others see it with their hearts.
As keen as Frank, his life was bright but he fell into darkness. He couldn't find a reason to reconcile with himself. He decided to end his meaningless life this Thanksgiving.
Although he decided to give up, Frank still insisted on integrating the last moments with the highlights of his life. So, he chose to wear his uniform, as well as his most proud epaulets. He couldn't see anything, and he still accurately stated the style of the uniform and the location where the epaulettes were stored, because all these were already engraved in his life.
When Charlie was forced to embark on a trip to New York with Frank, he didn't know that this was also the end of the journey that Frank planned.
On the flight to the flight, Frank used a hint of fragrance to tease with the flight attendant familiarly, and let Charlie know what it means to "smell a fragrance and know a woman". And Frank's deciphering of the female body not only made Charlie's heart sway, but also surprised the audience off-screen.
In the film, Frank talks about sexual experience more than once. At first glance, he may be surprised by the sensory stimulation, but after watching the whole film, you will find that this is the real dilemma that Frank is deeply caught in.
Arriving in New York, Frank took Charlie in a luxury car, checked into New York's top hotels, and enjoyed fine dining at a high-end restaurant. Charlie is dazzled by all this, but he can't get rid of the troubles of reality. After inadvertently witnessing the prank of the rich boy, Charlie agrees to the promise of his classmates and keeps it a secret. But the school used threats and bribes to push Charlie into the abyss.
Frank, who has already penetrated everything, told Charlie, "There are two kinds of people in this world, those who are brave in responsibility and those who find a backer." "I have also reached a fork in my life now, and I always know which way to go. One exception, I know it, but I've never been through it. Know why? Because the right way is so fucking hard."
The road of life is long, and there are not many important crossroads. A momentary choice often determines the trajectory of a lifetime.
Frank took Charlie to visit his brother's house, and when he told Charlie that "my brother loves me so much", I seemed to have foreseen the coming storm.
The reunion of relatives after a long absence is not pleasant, and everyone can't hide their helplessness over the arrival of the uninvited guest. Frank, who was talking to himself, deliberately sat on the main seat, and still talked about his past affairs with the usual unrestrained attitude, which made everyone in the room feel uncomfortable. Unwelcome was written all over everyone's face, however, no one but Frank knew that this meeting was Frank's last goodbye.
When Frank put on his coat and was about to leave, he said to his brother, "I'm not a good thing, I've never been." That sentence should have been in Frank's mouth for many years, and when he finally said it, he took off his armor. , to reconcile with your past self.
I'm bad, I'm bad, so I destroy myself.
The reason why failure is difficult to face is precisely because admitting one's failure is difficult to accept.
Back in New York, Frank said probably the weakest sentence in his life to Charlie, who was eager to leave, "I just want you to stay with me for one more day." "New York is very familiar to me, but occasionally I need someone to point me in the direction, to give a friend. What is a day worth?"
Powerful and unruly like Frank, at the last moment of his life, he softened and said this plea, what is the last dream he really wants to achieve?
Frank took Charlie to a restaurant, and the young and elegant Donna, who was waiting alone, once again triggered Frank's keen radar with the aroma. He didn't have to really see it, just based on his breath and tone, he knew everything about Donna by heart.
"Tango doesn't care about wrong steps, it's not like life. It's simple, so that's why it's great. If you step wrong or stumble, keep jumping. Why not try it?"
Frank convinces Donna to dance over her fears. This dance will probably become the source of Donna's courage in the future.
Watch carefully while you are alive, and go for what you want, because life will give you all the answers.
As night fell, driver Manny arranged for Frank the best girl in New York. Frank sorted out his clothes and hairstyle, and walked into the hotel with majestic hair. When the screen cuts back, Frank said meaningfully, "What a beautiful woman."
A blank space is the most poignant part of the whole film. It gave a lot of imagination, and also explained the desolation and sadness in Frank's heart. The world is still bustling and bustling, the girls are still gentle and beautiful, all the things that make people fascinated are still there, and Frank is deep in the dark, empty and full of pride in his chest.
Like at the end of the film, Frank talks about his dream, "My dream? It's ridiculous. It's the dream that maybe one day, a woman will hold me with her arms and her legs around me, and I will open my eyes in the morning and she will still be there. Here, her taste is sweet and warm."
It is hard to let go of Frank, who is at the end of his life, as well as all beings in the world.
Frank doesn't get up anymore, he wants Charlie to give him a reason to live on.
"For a ride."
"What kind of wind do you carry?"
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Ferrari, Frank was completely unimpressed, and he still longed to be able to steer the Ferrari freely.
Charlie got his wish, and Frank, he really did.
"You'll turn the rudder too!"
At that moment, Frank seemed to have returned to the peak of his life, and he was proud of the spring breeze.
However, when he left the driver's seat and stepped on the bumpy road, a simple "it's okay" said all the loneliness of the hero at the end of the road.
"I've walked a lot of rough roads in my life, what's the point of that?"
When Frank stumbled onto the bustling streets of New York and walked into the rolling traffic without the will to survive, it was the last tears of a proud soul.
Madness is fleeting, and darkness is eternal.
it's all over.
Frank leaves Charlie, dons his lifelong uniform, assembles a 45 pistol, and prepares to officially say goodbye to the world.
And Charlie, the light that inadvertently shone into Frank's life, turned back intuitively and stopped Frank.
The two scuffled over the pistol, and Charlie said, "Just shoot me!" while crying, he was using his life to stop Frank. In the eyes of this 17-year-old, Frank is profound and funny, dancing tango and driving a Ferrari, the most charming.
And Frank was also moved by Charlie's innocent and honest soul.
"I've rebelled against everyone and everything in my life, and that's the only way I feel important. But you're fighting for your principles, and you're upright, Charlie."
Probably everyone can find their resonance here.
Life must insist, or for principles, or for dreams, or just for self.
At the end of the film, Frank, who was moved by Charlie's innocence and persistence, rediscovered the meaning of life.
When he walked into Charlie's school auditorium with vigour, I knew that the hero who once stood on the battlefield is back.
At a time when power is about to burn a young man's future, Frank delivers a deafening speech.
"Full of principles, the road to individuality, let him continue his journey!"
This is Frank's redemption for the troubled Charlie, and also Frank's self-soul redemption.
In a low position, but the soul is never humble.
Falling into darkness, but dignity is no less than anyone else.
Stick to yourself, stick to your soul, and you can live your whole life in one minute.
