At ten o'clock in the evening, I made a hasty decision to watch it, but at the beginning, I was completely shocked by the singing and dancing.
The story is generally very simple and clear: from the perspective of "weird people", this is a carnival of human nature, telling us to be brave to break through other people's prejudices, dare to chase dreams, and explore and affirm self-worth.
From the perspective of the male protagonist, it is necessary to keep the original intention on the road of chasing dreams, and do not get lost in Vanity Fair. But even though he once ignored his family and his partners for the sake of fame and fortune, his romance and innovation since he was a child still touched me deeply. He is very different and happy, and is a person who is very good at life; when he was starting a business, he still dared to give it a shot in the face of a setback, and he did what he wanted. And honor them, give them a home in the dark life, is a very warm person.
But at the same time, there may always be childhood trauma in his heart, so he was desperate and paranoid to prove himself and give his family a better life. So when he got lost in Vanity Fair, I actually totally understood. As a "counter-attack" lower class, only having money can only be regarded as a "vulgar nouveau riche", he has to integrate into the class in the form of an elegant aristocracy, so that his children can be respected. Moving forward with the aim of assimilation, the result is inevitable assimilation, including the absorption and practice of those old but "superior" norms or ideas. To a certain extent, the loss of the male protagonist may be a more realistic choice. But it is precisely because people have a lot of "last resort" and a lot of "lost self" for reality, so the characters who can stick to their original intentions and enthusiasm are always very moving, so the male protagonist's small romantic power is more worthy of being magnified. I truly feel that being able to make a bitter life blossom is an enviable ability.
In contrast, the second male is an ideal character in fairy tales: as a child of a rich family, he dares to challenge stereotypes and boldly pursue love in the face of the class gap; in the face of the loss of the male protagonist, he still sticks to his dreams and insists on the "noble" in the eyes of the nobles. Alternative" behavior. There is no real suffering, and he doesn't care about real suffering, as long as the life in his hands is an ideal life, and he has indeed achieved it.
