"Edge of Darkness": Carrying back the laughter and putting away my emotions

The director and lead actor of "Brave Heart" are indeed old. But in the movie, perhaps because of the director or editor's grasp of the rhythm, the plot of Mel Gibson shooting at the car that drove toward him is still very powerful. The dialogue I remember most in the film is the words Mel Gibson said to his colleague named Bill: "Bill, no one wants you to be perfect, but you should be right about the basics." In this world, there may indeed be few things we can believe; or, in this world, there are too many things that hinder and prevent us from doing what we want and should do; because of these The reason is that we cannot do what we want and should do. We can't do it perfectly.

But for the basics you have to be right. That is, we must have a basic bottom line in life. That is, we must have basic beliefs in life. If we are humans without even some basic bottom lines and some basic beliefs, then we will inevitably fall into the abyss of immortality. We must or should believe in something and in the existence of meaning. Even if we have no faith, we should still have faith. The so-called tragedy is that what you believe or what you do will not be eulogized in this world, but you still believe it, you still need to do it, because only these can make you different. Be different from other people, different from this world, and make you great. Of course, in the film, Mel Gibson’s faith is built on his deep affection and love for his daughter, and another character I like, the security consultant played by Ray Winston, is built on life. The meaning of faith, so he will do such a correct decision at the end.

I like the look of Ray Winston. At first glance, he is the kind of man who is bold and knows what is right. In this world, there are many so-called courageous men, but few know what is right. In other words, in this world, there are many smart people, but few worthy of your respect; or in other words, there are many beautiful women in this world, but they are worthy of your love. But very few. In general, that is, they don't have a soul. This is what I have to believe, even if it's a low return, even if it's a high swing. Speaking of Ray Winston, that is, I finally seem to understand why some girls prefer fat people. It turns out that fat people do seem to be more secure; in fact, I also like certain types of fat people, such as Winston. This type; and for some reason, I think he looks like Churchill and Ye Gongchao. These are of course digressions, or unfounded words.

Ups and downs, aggregation, dispersion, and change again, but it can always make a comeback.
Carrying up the laughter, putting away my emotions, and living my true self.
Carrying up the laughter, putting away my emotions, and continuing to find love alone.
