The truth is often not as good as smoke

There is a kind of fairy tale book that I read when I was young: the story has developed to a certain stage, and a multiple-choice question is presented. If you choose A, please turn to page XX, if you choose B, please turn to page XX... of fairy tales Development will be completely different depending on your consciousness and choices.

The plot extension of this movie seems to be similar to the above. What is amazing is that the two plots unfold in perfect balance and symmetry, and what kind of interpretation the audience makes is completely reasonable. The choices made by the audience also reflect the latent tendencies in his heart.

What is real in the end? The protagonist's process of exploring the truth slowly penetrates into the viewers, forming a clever divergent paradox: Who is unwilling to face the truth?

Truth, a seemingly neutral vocabulary, actually has more negative elements in most people's minds. Try to see, without combining any context, the truth is revealed, the truth of the truth... what kind of object our subconscious mind will piece together.

In many cases, the truth is often not as good as smoke.

If truth is often on the side of a few people, and you happen to be one of those "minorities", what would you do? Are you willing to live as ignorantly as most people, or are you willing to sacrifice everything to show that you are normal?

If the truth is not as "human" as you think, what would you do? Is it willing to turn to the humanistic care of self-hypnosis, or is it painful to accept the authenticity of Su Mian Su Xin?

For example:

What if Beethoven tore off the title "To a Hero" after finishing the Hero Symphony, and then wrote "To the Great Emperor" with the utmost flattery?

What if I told you that Shostakovich’s fourth symphony completed in artillery fire was not to inspire Soviet soldiers and civilians to resist Germany, but to express their opposition to Stalin’s tyranny?

If...

false is true and true is false, when all the current rational analysis, evidence, and the general public are inclined to you as a lunatic, do you believe in your own "truth" or the evidence of "reality" ?

to live like a monster, or die a good man, how can I make it better? Experience and lessons tell us that if you live like a monster or stick to a crowded place, you will often live more securely.

Most of the suspense movie story locations will choose islands. The geographical environment of the island symbolizes closure and taboo. In a broad sense, the social circle and the public opinion circle are not an island!

I remember watching the news a few days ago. N many people in a small town in France had inexplicable mental disorders in their early years. The government’s external explanation was that of chromium poisoning. experiment.

Seeing this, I felt nervous: Why bother to tell the truth? I would rather believe that it is chromium poisoning. It would be better to think this way... I

remembered such a scene in the movie "The Matrix", the traitor looked at the meal. The steak on the fork said: Look at this tender and juicy beef, I know it is not real, but eating it in your mouth can satisfy my desire...

I see, so be it. For people to do this, it can be considered a living understanding, why bother, is the truth so important...

By the way, Mahler's "Quartet for Strings and Piano in A minor" is very useful!
