It is


a bit uncomfortable to talk about the structure of the film casually . It may be to emphasize the dialogue and connection between the characters. Therefore, the character dialogue in the first half is very specific and the time schedule is sufficient; on the contrary, the plot of the final climax is a bit too much. Hastily. Maybe the director's intention is to express that he wants to understand, and all the problems will be solved.

You must believe that there will be a rainbow after the storm. Although this is not the case in the real world, nor is the ending in the book; those cruel problems have long been tossed over and over again by predecessors in various forms of novels, dramas, and philosophies.

But you still have to believe it. The difficulty is that life will not necessarily give you such loving parents, intelligent and beautiful neurotic Tiffany, Danny...

You don’t know what will happen tomorrow, whether you’re doing this today is right or wrong, and what the consequences will be. I don’t know if doing so will make me a little happier and more open-minded.

I don’t know if you have noticed that the word Excelsior runs through from the beginning to the end, but is the concept of excellence really correct? Even if it is correct, is it really suitable for everyone? Does everyone live toward this goal?

What about those who are angry, desperate, and helpless about reality, but have nowhere to rest? Even if you kill the history teacher, you can't change the fact that your wife cheated. Even if you throw the book with the bad ending out of the window thousands of times, it can't be turned into a surprise. The first lesson in neurosis—acceptance.

You read a lot of books, listen to a lot of music, try a lot of methods.
If this is a proposition, would I dare to overthrow my previous life?
Where do I need to start to solve this confusion? Where can I find my own outlook on life?



The main line of the film is relatively clear. The protagonist has gone from hysteria to consciously reforming, looking for silver lining, and with the help of family love and friendship, he can finally reinvigorate and achieve a successful ending.

The most commendable part of Tiffany and Pat's love is empathy. Sometimes the world is lonely and needs more of the same kind. What I like most about the two neuroses is that they are kind and truthful.
No matter how bad life is, misunderstood by outsiders, betrayed by relatives and friends, they never feel that it is someone's fault or responsibility.
Another feature is true. Pat's temperament has always been very childish, and he woke his parents up at 4 o'clock in the morning to complain about the bad ending of the story. Tiffany's temperament is also very straightforward, and he does not roll his eyes to the idiot who strikes up and walks away.
Everyone in life is very busy, or has a certain identity, and wants to be a good husband, a good wife, a good mother, a good father, a good child, a good student, and a good person. We learn to compliment people and be polite, anyway, it makes you look like a good person. But after all, is it really important to be a "good" person? Probably the cause of neurosis is a trick that does not need to be polite at all.




The characters and lines in the film are very interesting, and it also reflects many social and group issues:

——After Pat returned home, there was a boy next door with a camera who visited several times and said that he wanted to interview. Pat, very interested in his illness. Pat's father was very disgusted with him, and even chased him all the way out in the middle of the night, pushing to the door of the neighbor's house, angrily and violently, but strangely the neighbor's reaction was uncontrollable.
—— Visiting the school, the old lady (forgot the name) saw him run away
[I think this may be the director’s use of these people to express people’s attitudes towards people with mental illness in real life. This gap actually reflects that people always care about other people's homes and are particularly curious about what happened to other people's homes. At the back end of the film, when everyone was talking in the living room, Pat occasionally brought up the Ronnie family's marital problem. Pat's mother slammed Ronnie's arm and asked what was the matter. 】

——Pat went to Ronnie’s house for dinner. I think this story is very ironic. Veronica is a very distinctive personality, a...vanity...housewoman who regards social norms as morals.

Part of the conversation:

Pat: I can't stay here, I'm wearing the wrong clothes, I shouldn't be wearing this one.
Ronnie: Dude, don't mind. I like this jersey very much, I also wanted to wear it.
Pat: I think I'm an idiot, Veronica won't like it. Look at you in a suit and tie!
Ronnie: Don't worry about this, you are a guest, you can come anywhere
...
Ronnie: DeSean Jackson in the house!
Veronica: Oh, you wore a jersey to dine!
Ronnie: Isn't it cool?
Veronica: Not for dinner.
[Various social guidelines, regarding politeness and impoliteness. ]

Ronnie: Look here. I redecorated this one, and I want to redecorate it again.
Pat: Great! But why do you want to renovate? Isn't the economy in recession now?
Ronnie: It's a downturn, but I'll still satisfy her (Veronica) what she wants.
...
Ronnie: Real estate is very profitable, but the pressure is too great...
Pat: Are you okay?
Ronnie: I'm not good at all, don't tell anyone. I feel crushed, by everything, by family, children, work, and fucking customers. It feels like... I'm suffocating.
Pat: Holy Shit
Ronnie: You can't be happy all the time.
Pat: Who said you can't be happy?
Ronnie: It's okay, only doing my best, there is no way out
Pat: It's not true. Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie!
[Many people live not as they appear to be. But since this is a movie with no values ​​to measure, why not Ronnie's lifestyle? Even a large part of the world is like that, while complaining about their lives, they bear everything in their lives. It may be afraid of change, or it may be unable to change]

Pat: You look good. I am not flirting with you.
Tiffany: Thank you. Oh I haven't felt that way yet. I just think you mean something like that, Pat: I'm planning to reunite with my wife. I admit that she is very beautiful. I didn't say that before, but I'm doing it now. Because we will live better...Nikki, just practice. How did Tommy die?
Tiffany: ...
Pat: How is your job?
Tiffany: I was fired.
Pat: Really? what happened? I mean, I'm sorry. But why are you fired?
Tiffany: It’s about your dick
[pat is an extremely incompetent person with low emotional intelligence in controlling emotions. I don't know why some discussions say that the love between them is inexplicable. From the first meeting, there was a strong attraction and sparks. After that, he also admitted that he avoided Tiffany repeatedly because the actor couldn't understand his emotions. 一方面提醒自己忠诚于婚姻,一方面提醒自己还爱着Nikki,一方面苦恼Nikki背叛了自己,现实的失望,一方面又后悔自己无法控制自己的情绪,后悔揍了历史老师,一方面急于求Cheng hopes to become a better man, or a man who satisfies Nikki. Emotions burst out and repeated, leading to illness. ]

Veronica: Come and see this, guess what it is?
Tiffany: TV...Monitor...
Veronica: Go on.
Pat: Oven!
Veronica: The hot stuff!
Tiffany: The drawers in the morgue containing the corpse who had been injected with formalin.
Pat: But is it impossible to put the body?
Veronica: This is... a fireplace.
[Pat and Tiffany, you two are 4 kings and 2 kings together]

Veronica: Give me your Ipod...Who doesn't have an Ipod this year?
Pat: I...no. I don't even have a cell phone. They wouldn't let me call because they thought I would call Nikki.
Veronica: Every room is equipped with a slot that can play Ipod...
Tiffany: You took us into the bathroom to watch this?
Veronica: I can play music to my baby in every room.
Pat: Can you play Metallica's Ride the Lightning?
[Veronica introduced the fireplace and slot, expressing a sense of superiority of "my house is super cool". This paragraph is very interesting. After Pat finished speaking, Ronnie's expression was amused. It is really very different from Veronica]


Tiffany: I'm leaving, will you walk home with me?
Pat: You have poor social skills and you have problems.
Tiffany: I have a problem? You are worse than me. You "scare" people.
Pat: I'm telling the truth.
Tiffany: What? Am I making up?
[Pat here is very similar to most people in society. There is a set of standards to measure others, but they have forgotten to examine themselves. ]

Home, Pat busy looking wedding video, would like to recall their own memories with his wife, only to find the video, give yourself time to instill the belief that Nikki is his true love. After being ill, she pushed her to her mother and accidentally injured her father. Calm down afterwards and keep saying: Don't tell Nikki this.
[It's ironic. We all hope that we are a perfect person in front of the person we love the most, without blemish, without scandal; we are good at making love like a winding contest, and we are also complacent.]



Tiffany: I used to be a bitch, and I am not anymore. Laziness and obsceneness will always be a part of me, but I like this, just like I like my other things. Do you dare to be so honest with yourself, idiot? Do you know what forgiveness is? You are not good at it!
【Really accept your own strengths and weaknesses to understand self-respect and self-love. Everyone has a history, some are good and some are bad. Only by knowing what is wrong can you live a correct life. What life bestows you, knowing how to turn it into a treasure is wisdom]



Pat: How did Veronica introduce me?
Tiffany: Say you are good. Very similar to me
Pat: Very similar to you? God bless her for not telling Nikki
Tiffany: Why?
Pat: Because... I was so wrong and confused me with you. Nikki would definitely not like it. Especially since I just heard you talk about your chaotic glorious deeds
Tiffany: You think I'm crazier than you
...
Pat: Let me explain! I'm just worried that Nikki misunderstands that I have such a messy private life like you, but I don't have
Tiffany: Although you haven't experienced those messy sexual experiences, you just discussed with me in great interest, didn't you? You are afraid of real life, hypocrites. You are a fellow in the group, you are a liar. I tell you my experience, you actually commented on it, you bastard! ……let me go! open! sexual harassment! sexual harassment!
[It can be seen that Pat is very concerned about Nikki's evaluation. I can't say that this is the ill of everyone in love. The evaluation of people is easy to divide by groups, and it is also easy to hear hearsay. As the saying goes, it’s always said that near Zhu is red and near Mo is black; but what is the standard for Zhu and Hei? ]

Doctor Jones: Why is she a slut?
Pat: After dinner that day, she said, "We can go to the back room and turn off the light, and we can do it as long as we want." She also brought her wedding ring. So she is still a loyal widow. swing. woman.
Doctor Jones: Maybe she just wants a friend, and she thinks that if you make a sex invitation, it will be easy for you to become friends.
Pat: She said she was no longer a slut. But she always likes that part of her character, just like she likes other parts of her. Can I say the same thing?
Doctor Jones: Can you?
Pat: This... Do you really want to ask me this question? Shit temper like me? Are you crazy?
Doctor Jones: Pat, you said silver lining yourself, I just told you your own truth. Your so-called "shit temper" makes you a happier and more peaceful person with a healthy and upward life philosophy, keeping social, exercising, and reading.



Tiffany: Come, tell me about the great love between you and Nikki.
Pat: She is the most beautiful woman I have ever had. We all want to change each other, but this is normal. Everyone is like this: I hope she won't wear that kind of clothes, hope she won't be arrogant in front of me; she wants me to lose weight and I want to control my emotions. I have done it now! I mean, everyone quarrels, couples quarrel, and we even have a cold war for a week or two. This is all normal. She always thinks about me. She wants me to be passionate and caring. Don’t you think this is great? Look, look at me now, how fucking great our love is!
[Sometimes we think it is really bullshit. Dear, what about the true love when you say good things in adversity? When I need emotional support most, where the hell are you?]

Dad: I'm sorry that I used to pay more attention to your brother and ignored you. This may have affected your mood. I don’t know how to deal with it. I can only discuss the Eagles and the game with you, because this is our topic and our time. I hope to do my best to help you get back to normal. Life, this is my intention.




Finally, talk about Danny's personality. Outstanding appearance, profession, identity, acting as a professional soy sauce party in the movie, suddenly came, suddenly disappeared.

Not the wrong number, then danny a total of three times appeared
for the first time in her mother's car. Here Pat and his mother are in conflict, and emotionally, almost have a car accident, Danny immediately decided to return to the hospital.

The second time I was meeting with my brother. The conversation between Pat and his brother was awkward, and Danny was present.
Partial dialogue:
Brother: Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t go to the hospital to visit you. You know I’m scared of that place and the company’s business is busy. I’m still helping Dad handle the restaurant’s tax... Okay, I don’t know how to talk to you. what. Your wife ran away, I am going to get married; your house was sold, I bought a new house; your job was lost, my career is booming... I don't know how to tell you these things.
Dad: Watching the ball, watching the ball.
Brother:... Okay, I think... I'd better shut up.
Pat: Just like my good friend Danny said, I have nothing but love. This is only for you, brother.

The third time was when Tiffany felt that the theme of "Lord of the Flies" and the ball game occupied his time with Pat. Danny's sudden sudden not only provided some dance suggestions, but also added a lot of creativity.

The above three appearances of Danny actually played the role of lubricating oil



=========== The

rest of the dialogue:

When you sweated for this man named Hemingway if he could survive the battle and returned to his beloved woman named Catherine Barkley... Then he did it, and he survived the bombing. Then he fled to Switzerland with Catherine, Catherine was pregnant, everything was perfect, right? She was pregnant with a child, they fled to the mountains, lived happily, drank and sang, danced as much as possible-there was a lot of nonsense about dancing in the book, I liked it even if it was boring, because both of them were very happy. Do you think the story ends here? Do not! He wrote another ending-she is dead, Dad! I mean, this world is already cruel, cruel enough, so I can’t come and say to everyone: "Hey, let's be optimistic and let us have a happy ending"?

-------------------

Pat: The hospital diagnosed that my mood is polarized, and my mood fluctuates violently. Under severe stress, I will have a lot of strange thoughts. Of course , Thank God, this rarely happens. A week later, when that happened, my nerves were finally broken, and I began to realize that with such a big life, I was struggling with my own sanity. No one supervised me, and no one helped me. I had to I have been relying on myself to suppress the emotions in my heart.

Pat: Listen to me. This is what I learned during my hospitalization-you need to do your best and go all out. As long as you do this, as long as you are always optimistic, you can see the happiness line behind the dark clouds (you have a shot at a silver lining.) I personally feel that the translation here is not very appropriate. It should not mean "you can see", but it means something like a ray of life.

Doctor Jones: Then start writing your strategy! (Work on a strategy, ok?)

[Dr Jones is also a very happy persona. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Doctor Jones of Aqua’s. This is also a very happy song. Take a few lyrics: Sometimes, the feeling is right, You fall in love for the first time...... There is a repeat please cure me behind. It’s amazingly in line with the development of the plot and the style of the movie... I don’t know if it’s a coincidence]

----------------If you




say something about the movie,
please chat with your friends and talk about entering the society. The pressure is high, and the innocent heart of interacting with people has long been wiped out. Too many people with real utilitarianism and hypocrisy are the same for everyone. It is an adult ceremony and the rule of the social game. I understand more and more that life is such a thing. You will be fired, beaten, become more and more unwilling, and understand more and more what is the most precious.

My life experience is very similar to the two protagonists. Although it is not a broken love, no matter if you call people like Pat and Tiffany neurotic, paranoid, or euphemistically described as a person living in a fairy tale, idealistic, reserved in nature The part that is naive and low, no matter how others change or evaluate, leaving myself a piece of pure land is also one of my life issues. Although the reality is cruel, how to play this hand of life, whether to become a fellow of the society, still depends entirely on one’s own

estimation. The worst result is just getting fired. If you can’t marry a wife, you can’t get married, and you don’t. It's going to die.

I have a brain problem, I'm quite happy, don't take the doctor. I really hope to find the crazy partner who accompanies me to the carnival.
