A story with no ending

Too many times I can’t move forward just because I have too many things on my back. Maybe I look back and find that there is nothing. Although the heart will still twitch a few times, there is really nothing left. All we need is one thing to help us turn around. From this perspective, I walked out of that corner without hesitation. The whole film is based on the second-level writer Lorry. Although there is a metaphor that the first-level writer Clay is Lorry, there is no real explanation until the end. I didn’t explain too much about the old man’s final ending. I thought it would be a moral-critical movie, a movie that was guilty of making mistakes and couldn’t move forward, but as Clay said, there is no moral criticism, some just A story, a story that can never be intersected with reality.

The most impressive thing in the whole film is the frustration of Luo Rui after seeing the old man’s work, "It's not right! Nothing's right! I'm not who I thought I was, okay? I'm not. And I'm terrified that I never will be. "Too many times in our lives we also have this feeling, always thinking that we are moving towards our dreams, and suddenly one day finds that we can't reach our destination at all, that kind of collapse, that kind of Frustration, the feeling of being so sad for my own stupidity, can't bear.

Most people in life cannot be as lucky as Lorry. They are more like the old man. They have lost things they can’t find. Since then, life has changed. But life is not cruel, but coincidences and accidents that appear intentionally or unintentionally. It's not coincidence that people feel at a loss. Maybe because of wrong choices like this, our lives have become more cruel, but we are still alive and still can't change the timeline that goes along a straight line, whether it is right or wrong next. As the old man said at the end, "You can't just make things right, Things are just things. No matter how you try and martyr yourself."

I don’t understand why this type of movie touches me so much, probably because it is the same as a Hong Kong martial arts novel. It is written about the hero who fails to the extreme and suddenly falls off the cliff, and then finds a martial arts secret book. , Or I just want an antique bag like Lorry that allows me to go to my dream destination immediately.

    Suddenly I found out why Brad played this role every time. It seemed he had fallen into a rut.

    The front shop is too open, I always feel that the ending is already guessed, because it did not achieve an unexpected ending or better expectations, it is anticlimactic
