Twisty! Twisty!

In fact, I'm used to seeing reality, I'm used to avoiding, I'm used to all endings in desperation.

Too many stories have exciting plots, but the ending is always unsatisfactory. For a long time I thought this was reality.

Too many times, I think that all the foreshadowings buried will not converge to the last moment of the last day, and that all the victory is won. I think that all people and all connections are single-threaded. Try to reconcile all the disharmony, and finally I let it go for a moment, and I think it's good to let it go. All my persistence at the moment of giving up feels so absurd and ridiculous.

The biology teacher, middle-aged, hopeless, carefree, late for class, with a meager salary, careless in class, and facing a group of troublesome students, the school has to cut funding. It seems that it is not so bad in his opinion, so let's live happily every day. Maybe this is him in reality, and the movie may just be a portrayal of an unrealistic dream.

When the teacher tries to find a job as a painter, and tries to accumulate a meager salary every day at night school, this may be another reality. This kind of illusion of failure has been haunting me in the idea of ​​the movie. When he failed the first game, I thought he would give up. At the end of each game, I would think that he gave up and returned to reality. I still thought it was an unrealistic fantasy during a game, but in the end I didn't give up winning and I was applauded.

The ridiculous style at the beginning of the movie, I can naturally feel that this is a main theme movie, but I deeply think about why I have this kind of psychology, maybe after watching "Million Dollar Baby" and "Hundred Dollar Love" "Similar movies, do you think that is the reality?" I was still shaken by my original belief in not giving up on myself.

So what is reality.

Life needs a full house applause. It needs a peak experience as Maslow said. There must be a time in life to do my best to achieve the goal for my own purpose. The years have prevented me from becoming a Virgin, and the years have gradually told me that living with peace of mind may be the reality, but One day when I was awakened by a dream, I really felt like living in the world.

Twisty! Twisty! Twisty! I think, I really need to have a chance to shout for my life.
