During the holiday, I went to see the popular "Spiritual Journey". This movie is really good. Otherwise, I would not add an article to write about this movie.
The United States and China are really too similar in many ways, or the level of the comrades in the translation team is getting higher and higher. At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist, Mr. Gaona, is a jazz piano teacher who has been underappreciated for many years (not compiled), which is too similar to the routine of a certain kind of Chinese novel. , the probability of being underappreciated is relatively low. Luckily, I got a permanent music teacher position at a middle school in New York. At the beginning, I suspected that Hollywood has informants from mainland China. They know too much about the recent public exam craze in China. The level of the translation team is indeed improving with each passing day. One of the lines in this episode is to inform Mr. Gaona that this is good. Before leaving, the principal of the news said to Gao Na "iron rice bowl".
I just saw this part, and I think that I recently saw the popularity of public exams in the economic environment of the epidemic, so I will give this movie 5 stars. Is this a Hollywood movie? This is simply the best realistic film expression in China at this stage.
But Mr. Gaona has always had a desire to become a professional jazz musician, so when his family told him that he must accept this iron job, he was still hesitant. Then Gaona received a call from a former student of his own, saying that a well-known local jazz band had left for unknown reasons, and a jazz pianist needed to be rescued tonight. The saxophone was played by a well-known local jazz professional, Mr. Gaona. He said, "If I could play with her once, I would have no regrets in my life." Mr. Gao Na successfully passed the rescue test, and then became extremely happy and sad. Unfortunately, he fell into a sewer without a manhole cover and died. .
This is where the story of the film officially unfolds. Just look at this beginning. I must give 5 stars to this beginning. I was one step away from my life dream (playing with a jazz idol), and then I died. This kind of beginning is full of regrets in life, and the reality of the world is full of big screen, so it is impossible not to give five stars. The official start of the movie started when Mr. Gaona's soul wandered in a certain space and then desperately tried to find a way to return to the earth to catch up with that jazz performance. I was only one step away from my dream in life, and I was not reconciled! I don't accept my fate! I must do my best to finish it!
In the movie, Gaona, his little friend Twenty-two and a ballot of soul friends meet people who have lost their life links because they are obsessed with their goals. One of them is a fund manager. Between the Earth) has been shouting make a trade, make a trade. After some mindfulness meditation guided by spiritual friends, the fund manager shouted in the work office: "Why am I here?" Then smashed the work computer to a smash. , and also smashed my colleague's work computer into pieces. When I saw this scene, I was wearing a mask and laughed at the scene.
Hollywood's lighthouse is indeed slowly dimmed. Why are you still using it in the office to smash computers or say to the boss: "Fuck you, I quit it." How about this trick to comfort the migrant workers trapped in the cubicle? Of course, what really trapped the fund manager was not the cubicle and work computer in front of him, let alone his boss. What really trapped the fund manager was his monthly mortgage medical insurance in New York, the necessary start of family living expenses and the tuition for children. Class fees and vacation trips for the whole family twice a year. You smashed your work computer, and you have to compensate the company for the loss, okay?
Monthly mortgage medical insurance, necessary family living expenses, tuition fees for children, and family vacation trips twice a year. A person will never be trapped by others. The only thing that can really trap oneself is one’s own desires. And the responsibility of being a member of a family, children always have to go to school and receive a relatively good education, don't they?
As I wrote in an article a few days ago, "M's Thoughts - For What", what is the purpose of coming from a small city/small county in the fifth and sixth tiers to work and live in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen or the new first-tier? For my own desires, I want to make more money, I want to experience more and better quality public services (people who communicate in medical education, cultural exhibitions, performances and exchanges), and I want a higher quality life.
What traps you is your desire to want more. What's the use of smashing your work computer? What's the use of yelling "fuck you" to your boss or client? It's not that bosses and clients are holding you back. People have to pay for their desires, and fund managers have to pay for their desire to maintain a high-quality life. That is, the fund managers of Wall Street in New York, and the young talents that beauties are eager to meet. Goner also has to pay for his obsession with becoming a professional jazz player.
The free-spirited friends of the group of people like the Rescue Fund that Gaona met in the different dimension alluded to a group of people in the United States who pursue spiritual freedom, including a group of mindfulness meditation people, among them, in real life, they are only on the streets of New York. People who do odd jobs and do juggling advertisements on the street for shops (material life is difficult), but their minds are really free, they travel freely between the earth and other dimensions, and they are still saving money managers for their own performance goals (desire ) and lose the connection to their own lives.
I believe that some people can achieve the hardships of material life, but they are extremely free in their hearts. It is enough to give up their desire for a high-quality material life. The most thorough thing is to become a monk. The responsibility of being a member of the family (without children) is to be rigid without desires, and the mind can freely explore in depth in any dimension.
But at least this is not my life goal at this stage. I am not interested in material life at this stage. Yes, the Chinese people will not be interested. I think it's because Hollywood's current part of the trader may really have not experienced the stage of extreme material poverty, so they have unrealistic illusions about the hardships of material life. I think most people think that after financial freedom, high-quality material life is guaranteed, then time is free, and they can explore the world freely. This is too beautiful.
Keeping and managing one's material living standards within a reasonable range, and then spending more time pursuing one's own jazz dream or other life goals like Mr. Goner, this is what I think is an ideal state of life.
In the movie, Mr. Gaona overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally returned to the earth. Then he performed on the same stage with his jazz idol and was a great success. I like this plot very much. Mr. Gaona has fulfilled his dream in life. , and then he seemed to think it was completely different from what he had imagined before, he asked his jazz idol what to do next (my life dream has come true, so what is next?) his jazz idol replied He said a paragraph, and then the last sentence was: Next is another performance tomorrow night. Mr. Gaona, who finally realized his life dream, doesn't seem to have the huge happiness and satisfaction he imagined before. I like this paragraph so much.
Whether in the West or in mainland China, there are very few people who have achieved the five beauties of life at a very early and very young age due to the family's support for personal qualifications and the support of the times. They are the winners in life in the eyes of others. They already want what is there. However, they still feel that something is missing in their life, and they cannot feel full and real happiness for a long time, and then some of this group of people start to do psychological counseling.
Mr. Gaona later said to Twenty-Two: "I've lived my whole life. Now it's your turn." Take your Earth Pass and experience your own life. I am very touched here, I want to perform on the same stage with my jazz idol and have achieved my goal of great success. I have no regrets. I can accept the result of my life. I can accept that I will die after going through this. .
People who can't manage their own desires will either continue to increase their consumption desires after the five beauties of life, or they will start looking for psychological counseling wisely; and those who can manage their desires gradually will be like Mr. Gaona. After accepting the whole experience of life after his own dream of life, he can say to Twenty-two: "I have lived my whole life, and now it is time to talk about you." Mr. Gaona, who cannot manage his own desires, will not It must be my unwillingness to give Twenty-two the earth pass to live again. I have to borrow another 500 years from the sky, right?
The emperors of ancient China were basically complete failures in managing their desires. I have never achieved any of my life's dreams, and I have basically no regrets. Basically, after a desire is realized, there is a new desire. How can a hundred years of life be enough, borrow another 500 years from the sky. . . Do the medicine of immortality. . .
Just like some white-collar middle-class workers in China are tired, it is impossible not to be tired; if you have a small house, you want a three-bedroom and one-bedroom in the city center, if you have a three-bedroom and one-bedroom, you want a large flat, and if you have a large flat, you also want several suburban cities. The big villa, the super mini version of the emperor's dream of desire, they are not tired (they must be tired, they asked for it), and it is only natural to pay their own price for their desires. So now I see hypocritical articles from the perspective of the white-collar middle class, even the so-called WeChat reading 100,000 plus only instinctive disgust.
Say like Mr. Gaona: "I've lived the life I want. I'm basically satisfied, now it's your turn." I like this paragraph very much. For an ordinary person, what kind of spiritual growth can make them say: "I have lived the life I want, and I have basically been satisfied."
Like Mr. Gaona, there are very few people who have a clear life dream and have a faint sense of emptiness after they have really realized their life dream. It is basically the luck of the chosen person to be able to achieve his life dream.
In the circle of friends, I was discussing the movie "Spiritual Journey" with my friends. A friend said that Mr. Gaona originally had a female Lisa that he liked, but when it came to jazz performances, Lisa had no role. . . . Compared with the jazz piano, Mr. Gaona's emotional life is completely omitted. In the movie, Mr. Gaona's life is only alive except for jazz. I think it's the time limit. After all, this movie has expressed too many things and contents from the psychological counseling level, and it really can't fit in more than 90 minutes.
It is really a very good movie (Hollywood must have a skinny camel bigger than a horse), what you can see from it depends entirely on the thinking of the individual watching the movie.
