I have seen the introduction of this movie. After reading the introduction, I felt that the vividness should be on par with the previous destination. After reading it, I found that, in my opinion, it is a work with a similar style to Mulholland Drive.

David is a rich boy, his parents love adventures, but he has always been afraid of heights, so his father only mentioned him in his autobiography with a high sales volume, saying that he is very cute, that's all, when his parents died in an accident, he He took on the responsibility of managing the most influential family TV company at the time. Although he was also very talented, he was allocated a very small share. The "Seven Dwarfs" on the board of directors secretly kept trying to bring him down. However, For him at that time, he didn't care, it seemed that his life was all about play, work, casual, and it was fine.

Such a diamond king, who is rich and handsome, has status and can flirt with girls, who doesn't love it? Judy is one of his ardent fans, and David is too playful to have any relationship with Judy other than his friends, but Judy is chasing after him. On David's 33rd birthday party, Brian brought a Spanish girl, the innocent girl Sophia played by Penelope. David found in her the long-lost innocence, and then fell in love with her. Just when the delayed pleasure of the two was about to come, Judy couldn't figure out why the man didn't accept her love and went to another woman. Thie died at the scene, and David was disfigured and seriously injured in his arm. . .

With the medical treatment at that time, David's face could not be restored to its original appearance, and he could only live with a mask. When he went to Sophia with such a face, Sophia could not accept it for the time being. David was very heartbroken and felt that his The sky suddenly collapsed. In the dark night, he stumbled to Sophia's residence, but there was no good result waiting for him. He was getting depressed. One day, he found a company called "Eternal Life" on the Internet. It is said that high-end technology can freeze dead people and then resurrect them. He signed a contract with the company to enter a so-called "lucid dream" (real dream) state after death, so he took an overdose and died. , With the help of the company, his consciousness started again when he fell downstairs in Sophia.

In the early morning, the lilac sky, the orange sun, Sophia's smiling face appeared in front of him, and called him: open your eyes, open your eyes. He began to live in the dream of his own weaving. But the dream is a magical thing, and it is true. Sometimes it is more real than reality. David weaves the sweet love between him and Sophia in the dream. The record he always loved, the brotherhood he never gave up (he and Brian repeatedly mentioned that they were each other's only friends).

However, people's consciousness will feel guilty for the wrong things they have done. When it comes to the subconscious, this guilt will be transformed into concrete manifestations, which explains why he always dreamed that he had abused Judy's body in his dreams. And Judy keeps saying that she is Sophia. In my opinion, this is a sustenance for venting guilt. The guilt comes from ignoring Judy, but if Judy is still in the dream, he will always ignore it. But if it is Sophia, the meaning will be different. If abuse is imposed on Sophia, David will be heartbroken and achieve the effect of relieving the guilt in the dream. This is why David wants to see Sophia in the dream. This is an apology for Judy. It needs to be applied to Sophia to make sense for him. Later, his lucid dream became a nightmare, but fortunately he was still hallucinating. Having a bad dream is the dream of chatting with a psychiatrist. It is his deep desire for fatherly love, and it is the only force that can help him get out of the dream.

In the end, with his own courage, he lifted the dream that he had been living in the past 150 years, and also understood what true happiness is. The film uses Epicurus' point of view. Only by conquering fear can you gain inner peace and true happiness. , because of fear, he has been afraid to face his own life, dare not face up to his experience, dare not open his heart to Sophia, no wonder this sentence always echoed in his dreams: "David, what do you think happiness is?" He tried He has been living in the dream to get the dream that he can do as he pleases. In the dream, he can control everything and manipulate everything to work for him, but he is not happy, and the fear and guilt that cannot be removed are always in his heart, when he realizes this , 150 years have passed, all the people he loves, those who love him, have long passed away, he also understands that reality is not invincible, when you overcome your inner fear, your soul can be calm and happy.

(End of video)

In fact, his face was disfigured, and the family's property did not affect Sophia's love for him at all. The technician also told him that when you died, Sophia was the saddest.

It has been 150 years, people are born and grow old, the world still runs without me, I have been weaving my dreams, he told me that your dreams have long gone with you, but my dreams seem to have not changed or stopped, Always, only you. "I'll see you in another life when we are both cats."

The original adaptation, citing the words in the movie, and connecting them together will also be beautiful, because the movie is beautiful, the mood is beautiful, the story is beautiful, and the love is the most beautiful.

Can you tell the difference between life and dream?
It is the sour that makes us appreciate the sweet.
Do you know that every minute can turn it all around?
And only when we conquer fear can we understand what happiness is.
For 150 I have been making up my own faked reality,
For all I love I bid you farewell, my ever-lasting dream.
