I have a buddy who had been talking to his girlfriend for 6 years in college and was slept with by his brother, and Y also dumped him after sleeping, which finally caused the girl to leave the city after being greatly stimulated. My buddy and I were drunk and crying at the teppanyaki stall. Years later, the two men actually sat together and drank alcohol for a long time because his former brother wanted to ask for his forgiveness.
At the end, my buddy said something to the effect, thank you for your wine, but I don't forgive you. I have the right not to reconcile with the past.
I don't know why after watching "Manchester by the Sea" I suddenly thought of this. Probably because the main point is the same: I have the right to indulge in a heartbroken past and never look up.
I've always had a special aversion to encouraging chicken soup. Because in the face of countless destroyed lives, depression and despair do not mean losing, and getting back together does not necessarily mean winning. Everything is just a natural process: you hurt, you hurt, you hurt for a long time, and then you heal. Life is ordinary like you and I, and there is no drama. Most people don't even have the courage to die, let alone face the truth. In the end we just have to wait for time to untie us. Where are there so many hurdles in life that can make you cross the past? Some people lose is lost, some people love is love.
In the film, the fist of Big Ben and his brother LEE broke out, too much like throwing all the unbearable grief and anger to the unknown you, me and him. In the end, there is no use for the truth or let ordinary people like you, like him and me continue to die. go, keep running.
There is no way, this is life. Fate's malice sometimes doesn't give you a chance at redemption at all.
That's why I love this restrained, tragic and sad film so much. It was so real it made me choked up to the shivers.
In the end, I don't think it matters whether I can go back to a bright and happy life. The important thing is that the presence of some grief, even if it is irreversible, makes you feel that life is precious and solid. And the life that people can truly touch in their lives is probably more important than anything else.
