We're just the ones being played

You're ready to take a serious life, but God prefers to play dark humor with you, life is just that.

I really like the streets and roofs in the opening scene looking down under the falling snow. The picture is very beautiful, but unfortunately it is only seen in the eyes of God. You can only see your own life.

At one time, I thought that the actor would have collapsed earlier if he lived like this, but in fact, there are thousands of people like him living sadly. So why bother to ask about the meaning of life, just like that dentist, whoever digs the bottom is not necessarily smart. Since God treats us as pigs and dogs, then we are pigs and dogs, and we have to silently grow into big pigs and big dogs, and occasionally catch a glimpse of spring when we dial the antenna. So the one in the sky is the biggest. If not, in the open ending, the classmate who has been chasing and killing his son for 20 yuan, when watching the raging wind slowly move, greets himself and prepares to pay The money boy will not ignore it.

PS It was a pleasure to see Howard.

    Clive Park: I didn't leave it.

    Larry Gopnik: Well, you don't even know what I was gonna say.

    Clive Park: I didn't leave anything. I'm not missing anything. I know where everything is.

    Larry Gopnik: Well... then, Clive, where did this come from?

    [raises his eyebrows]

    Larry Gopnik: This is here, isn't it?

    Clive Park: Yes, sir. That is there.

    Larry Gopnik: This is not nothing; this is something.

    Clive Park: Yes. That is something.

    [a beat]

    Clive Park: What is it?

    Larry Gopnik: You know what it is! I believe. And you know I can't keep it, Clive.

    Clive Park: Yes sir.

    Larry Gopnik: I'll have to pass it on to Professor Finkle, along with my suspicions about where it came from. Actions have consequences.

    Clive Park: Yes sir.

    Clive Park: Meer sir my sir.

    Larry Gopnik: Meer sir my sir?

    Clive Park: [Careful enunciation] Mere... surmise. Sir. Very uncertain.

  • Sy Ableman: Do you drink wine? Because this is an incredible bottle. This is not Mogen David. This is a - heh heh - a wine, Larry. A Bordeaux.

    Larry Gopnik: You know, Sy...

    Sy Ableman: Open it. Let it breathe. Ten minutes. Letting it breathe, so important.

    Larry Gopnik: Thanks, Sy, but I'm not...

    Sy Ableman: I insist! No reason for discomfort. I'll be uncomfortable if you don't take it. These are signs and tokens, Larry.

    Larry Gopnik: I'm just-I'm not ungrateful, I'm, I just don't know a lot about wine and, given our respective, you know...

    [Sy abruptly hugs him]

    Sy Ableman: S'okay. S'okay. We're gonna be fine.
