As an outsider who looks at film and television with a cold eye, there are only a handful of works that really pour out emotion. Rick and Morty is such a work. (There is an online address for the unabated version of Harmony at the end)
****Don't watch it if you haven't seen it, there is no plot introduction, save some time****
Today, the fourth season is over, and it will take a long time to see you again. The selected BGM is the song at the end of the tenth episode of the fourth season of Rick and Morty. In the single loop, he has been immersed in the endless dark abyss of Grandpa Rick.
In the tenth episode, the focus is on daughter Beth. In this story, grandpa is no longer invincible, Beth can face another self, Morty and Summer can work together, and even Jerry can play a role. The characters have grown, and Rick has really become the aging one.
Rick's only weakness - family, through that hazy loneliness, I realized that Rick can't be summed up simply as a nihilist and hedonist, what makes him unique is his Genius, what makes him live in my heart is His undisclosed love for his family
When I saw this sentence, I actually felt a little bit. Grandpa Rick loved Beth so much, and in the end he still let Beth belong to him, and respected the choice that Beth let grandpa choose. Accept everything silently.
The second brush saw the two silly girls, you got the love from the gods, the family affection that surpassed everything.
In the decisive battle with the Birdman, Grandpa Rick really lost this time, closing his eyes, he may be waiting for the liberation, the ending he longed for.
This time it was the family that saved Rick.
The final truth is what Rick saw by himself after everyone ended. The truth that no one knows is that the two possibilities of his daughter's life are equal and equally wonderful. The tenderness he hides is always for her to have what she wants. It's beautiful, because that's his favorite daughter, and she deserves the best.
Rick deleted his memory, confused the identities of the two, and the measures to clear his memory afterward were all trying to give Beth the same love.
Beth chooses Rick to decide his future, and Rick bears all the loneliness and pain alone.
Finally, when the music played, the person whose loneliness was pressing through the screen was breathless.
Rick still has fantasies about the birdman's shell, even if it's no longer the birdman who said Wubba lubba dub dub, everyone leaves this little garage, and even this song is only sung to Rick.
Don't look back
Rick stepped down from the altar step by step, telling all the world and telling himself that he was so gentle.
It's a story about growing up, thanks Rick, see you in season five.
