A world without Scarlett

1 The

opening of the movie is the monologue of Ben's mother: "People have to wait until death is killed before people will act, otherwise life will only be business as usual, as if nothing happened." I don't remember what I was in back then. I wrote the words "Only life can shake life", but at least until now, this sentence is still valid. If we can start again, I would like to know whether those "books" around us will choose another way to say goodbye to the world. From Ma Jiajue to the recent child killers and Foxconn suicide employees, if they can choose, are they willing to end their lives in another way?

Ben said: "Use one kind of noise to fight another kind of noise." Those who seek liberation are all the same, trying to use one kind of death to fight another kind of death. Instead of dying tragically, it is better to raise your arms gorgeously and use your own blood to leave a red mark on this indifferent world. "If you die in the game, at most you will be kicked out of the game for a short while. When you return to the game, you have to find the props you previously carried. In reality, I only leave a video tape, so I just leave. Now." Ben just left, and what did the "books" around us leave us? They left in their own way, and they may only have a few reports from reporters, and the sadness of the society for a month or two. Then, everything returned to peace, and people returned to their original lives until the next book appeared again.

"People have to wait until the death of people to take action." This is the sorrow of society, and it is also the sorrow of people. During the graduation season in June, there are always seniors in the school smashing wine bottles, kettles, and monitors outside the windows. If someone criticizes them a little, they will give all kinds of grand reasons for this, and then it will be like a tide. Constantly counterattack. "There has never been an accident", this kind of rhetoric is not only helpless, but also sad. Is this a fluke or an expectation? Yes, there hasn’t been an accident yet, even if there is an accident, what does it matter? Everyone reflects on it for a while, sad for a week, and everything will return to the same way. After grief, we always return to indifference, as if nothing had happened.

Life is the last weapon of mankind against the world, but the sad thing is that our fighting blows cannot be exchanged for victory in battle. The world is still indifferent, and only the kind people are really hurt. I feel distressed again and again, but there is nothing I can do about it. What else can I do besides sadness and tears like self-masturbation? Not everyone can become Scarlett.

In the movie, Ben finally got the peace he needed, but if such a "prank" happened in the real world and happened around us, what fate would be waiting for Ben? I didn't dare to think about it. It was nothing more than another tragedy. People were numb to each other but very sensitive to themselves.

Although the movie has the background of online games, in essence, the story and online games are not necessarily related. If the game is replaced by literature, music, or painting, the plot can still develop according to the current route. But it is undeniable that nothing is more in line with the current background of the times than online games. This is true in the West and the same in China. The prevailing situation now is that young people are addicted to online games. As a result, various social problems surfaced, and we easily blame the Internet and games for all of them. I have been thinking more than once, whether it is the Internet and games that cause problems in our world, or the Internet and games that let us see the problems in this world. Even if there is no network and no games, doesn't the problem exist? Society always thinks that young people play games for happiness, but in fact they often play games because they are unhappy.

Instead of living in such a chaotic and passive manner, it is better to put aside everything and devote yourself to a fantasy world-this is a portrayal of me back then, even years later, I have no regrets about it. I tried my best to be the best version of myself, but I failed in the face of reality. I can only choose to deceive, and only choose to deceive myself can I survive. I give my hope to the future. Nowadays, those young people who are addicted to the Internet and addicted to games, even though they don't say anything, even though they don't even realize it, how many people are subconsciously giving the only hope in their hearts to the future? Isn't that enough? Only when they "beg grandpa begging grandma for help over and over again", will this society pay attention to the problem? Society is numb. People always choose the way that is most beneficial to them to solve problems. They just beg not to be accused of "inaction". As for whether others are saved, no one cares.

Just like rock and martial arts novels, the Internet and games will eventually become the mark of an era.

"Autism is his problem, but it is not a problem for him. The attitude of others is the real problem. "Being

a kind person, using kindness to compare one's heart to one's heart, often only gets malicious suspicion from others. . The attitude of others is the real problem. This is called communication. The heart is different from the heart. Your so-called kindness is nothing more than selfishness and self-interest in the eyes of others. If you have to use one word to describe it, this is called misunderstanding and deception. Man is like a hedgehog, either hurting or being hurt.

"Fortunately, he is still alive. He is still alive. Although he lives in his own world, he is still alive. He is not dead and lives his own life. "

If you were a parent, how would you choose? ? How will this society choose? Dead or Alive? How many people have thought about this question clearly.

At the end of the film, Ben was talking to herself at the racecourse, that the woman named Scarlett was just a fantasy! My heart broke instantly, was I not strong enough, or the world was too cruel? The hope that has always been, it turns out to be nothing more than a fantasy and self-deception, what could be more desperate than this. In this real world without Scarlett, who will help those tens of thousands of "ben" continue to be strong?

    Come to a creative death. The ending sublimated the entire film, giving new life to the story that had fallen into the cliche.
