some feelings

Meet Socrates, the whole film is very much like the whole process of metaphorical counseling from the beginning. The male protagonist, who seems to lack everything, really does not understand the meaning of happiness. He encounters a "smart old man" by accident and directly points out his own problems. He also has "peculiar" skills and theories, which makes him curious. and excitement.

It is very interesting that in the first half of the movie, "Mr. Su" asked the male protagonist to meet at school. The male protagonist happened to be late because he was "busy". Mr. Su pushed him into the water, helped him clear his brain, and then used " Psychic" allows him to pay attention to everything that is happening "in the moment". If only the word "focus" could be obtained so easily.

Teacher Su asked the male protagonist to practice "concentration". The male protagonist gave up when he felt it was difficult, and restarted his familiar "happy way" until he encountered a car accident (disaster). The hero of "After the Disaster" hit rock bottom and decided to start looking for the reason and "truth" of everything - "now" (there is never a time when nothing happens, there is never an ordinary moment)

After that, Teacher Su made Dan realize several truths:

1. Take responsibility for your actions.

2. Learn to love, find what you love, and do what you love. (Death is not sad, sadly not really lived.)

3. Accept, accept that you are not an exception, you will encounter countless uncertain things, which are beyond your control.

4. The three laws of life: Contradictions, life is a mystery, don't waste time trying to solve it; humor, keep humor, especially self-humor, this is a very important force; change, nothing is static.

5. Journeys make us happy, not destinations (results). (Climbing the mountain for three hours and saw a stone)

6. When you meet love, you have to pay hardships and efforts.

Finally Dan fulfilled his dream here, now, this moment.

The above is the running account record of the whole movie, which touched me deeply

1. The complex at the beginning is very similar to my own counseling process. When encountering disasters, seek help--gain wisdom and guidance--give up when encountering difficulties in practice, and return to my own familiar methods--until disasters occur again. , repeating iteratively.

2. The experience of the male protagonist after he stood up again was very similar to mine. He found "love", but there were setbacks again. I have to accept these.

3. I hope that in my life, including career choices, I can also find my "love", and then enjoy doing what I "love" and enjoy the journey of "now".

    As wise as the Athenians, as strong as the Spartans

    The music is a little too "atmospheric", too flashy and not peaceful enough.
