It's been a few days since I watched it, and I have time to write it casually this time. It roughly tells the story of Joey and 22 redeeming each other and completing their respective growth in the two time and space of New York and Mind School.
If coco is talking about family connection, Spiritual Journey is obviously more in touch with the pulse of the times, giving a neutral plan for "secular goals" and "individual emotions" in the accelerated urban life. So even though Joey has finished his dream jazz performance, he still feels lost, and 22's world-weariness complex is also overwhelmed by the embodied experience.
There is a term in film theory called "surface images," which refers to abandoning ideological dissection and looking for the appeal of photogenic images, including walks, conversations, or faces, that go back to the first time you watched "The Arrival of a Train". amazed. In this film, the opportunity for the two people to change/the most healing part is to evoke the so-called "body sensibility". This first experience of the body can only be felt by children. Food, mother's hug, autumn Falling leaves in the palm of your hand is a natural right of human beings. This subtle touch is incompatible with New York, which is constantly walking, but it is enough to make all people who are immersed in modernity fascinated.
In the time of spatialization, in the roaring subway and the broken mobile phone, it would be a panacea for the soul to cry bitterly for the "sparks of truth, goodness and beauty" in a dark movie theater. This gentle stance soothes the folds of life. It is also because it is too flat to cover up deeper voids. In the end, we still had to put the leaves/movie tickets in our pockets and run hard to find an unreachable meaning of existence.
ps: I hope that 22 can live well on earth, for example, it is not bad to be a fat house who loves to walk.
