Sometimes I don't understand what detachment is, just waiting for that hysterical moment

Until the moment of watching this film, the poignant Gothic beauty that I pursued when I was young has never left myself. When life enters a certain morbid exhaustion time, you can really see the desolation around you. But this kind of complexity and confusion was far beyond what the little kid who only knew about the visual department at the time could understand.

This kind of gloom, the first moment you see his eyes, you already know that at some point in the film, you will completely give up the psychological defense line built by your years of life, and wait for that hysterical moment in 97 minutes.

When we were young, we believed that life was so simple. After 10 years, you will find that life is really as complicated as adults say. In the end you find that the whole society is a prisoner, a prisoner of money, a prisoner of time, a prisoner of lies, but we all end up defaulting to this cynicism.
Living in such a failure

you have to keep an independent mind, but this is a double contradiction, so you have to believe the lie.

Perhaps we will see the ultimate lie withering along with the Gothic Castle, eroding the once mighty into eternal desolation.
The rest is detachment, accompany the lie into the irreparable decline

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: I am money, I change hands like the dollar bill, that has been rubbed by a lamp; Then a genie appeared and cried loudly, with volume; But the tears were all for myself, and that's where it all went wrong

  • Henry Barthes: [In nursing home] Grampa, you doing any writing in your journal?

    [Thumbs through empty journal]

    Grampa: I don't remember much, I lost the habit. You can't think in this place, you can't make new memories.
