The film selects the typical adolescence that many films are willing to choose: sensitivity, loneliness, low self-esteem, single-parent family and so on. This kind of material has long been aesthetically exhausting. But if you have the experience of jumping out of the crowd and watching the mediocre rotation of the world independently and quietly from a distance, maybe you will understand George's logic.
We lived alone, we die alone.Everything else is just an illusion.
We all die alone.So why am I supposed to spend my life working,sweating,struggling?For an illusion?
Survival,destruction,death,life,meaning.. A piece of the metaphysical meaning of these words should be in the dictionary of philosophers, and the general public need only comprehend or follow their practical effects: live, live, die. enough. You see on this earth, many people don't read, don't read philosophy, don't think, and don't worry about the world. They go around the world, and they still live a good life. Go to get off work on time, complain about the boss, and stay at the gate of the mall during holidays to recharge and keep an eye on the tiger. This is the most ordinary happiness. So what's bothering our dear George?
I realized I'm gonna die one day. Everything seemed meaningless.
I have a real problem with motivating.
This is his problem: motivation. I have always felt that philosophy comes from thinking too much, and it is good to think about life when you are full. It is always easy to be a student, and no matter how heavy the schoolwork is, it will not occupy all the thinking time. Adolescence is inherently sensitive and suspicious, the environment is static, food and clothing are worry-free, and time is abundant. These conditions are enough to make you question the meaning of life.
There are so many more important things to think about. It's more like we're living in a dying time, you know? Global warming, wars, terrorism, tsunamis. So what are we working towards? What's the point?
I fear life.
In fact, George is not afraid of life, but afraid of the unknown. For a high school student, the circle is limited to campus families, so the wider world is chaotic for him, so he is afraid. Until George's stepfather goes bankrupt, he realizes that life is a never-ending battle. Here comes Motivation. He has to be the backbone of his mother, finish school, get diploma, get into a decent school, get a job, buy a apartment, marry, have a baby, educate the baby... that's the way most people go , whether you question the legitimacy of this path or not, you have to go down it. More often, it takes you three weeks to complete a year's worth of homework, and one day you'll have to pay it back in another way, so that you don't have the energy to think about what you're going through. the meaning of such a life. No one is a Peter Pan who never grows up, or you might call it -- duty.
The acquaintance and sympathy of George and Sally can only appear in the movie. To sum up this strange emotion in one sentence, it is the same as the end of the world. Can someone explain to me what's going on between Sally and Dustin..
George: I'm in love with you. I always have been. I was nothing. I felt like nothing. You changed that. Change what? Take him to a bar for a hangover and sell his paintings to parties? Perhaps. If changing a misanthrope was that simple, there would be no autism.
The ending is beautiful, but I want to say, it sucks.
You know we're gonna be together one day. We have to sort through all of our messed-up issues. And you have to sleep with a lot of girls to get it out of your system.
It's a long life. We're not done.
After saying this, they are actually together! ! !
Maybe it's because life is already desperate, so movies need to give people warmth and hope. Like George's hopeful smile on a park bench in the early morning.
But Treacherous, sadistic little hussy. This is youth.
