If Kafka came to write Shawshank

There are always two birdmen on Reagan. The

first is a well-known super hero.
The movie star wrapped in stunts and dazzling costumes
easily demonstrated the super power of defeating monsters on the screen. The
box office is over 100 million yuan and the world is famous. , The overwhelming fans is
simply a model of "success" in every actor’s dream,

but he knows deeply that this bird man, who
is enthusiastically sought after by the world, is just a flashy shell
hiding under a seemingly powerful black mask and
repeating soullessness.
Although the exaggerated performance gains both fame and fortune, he loses his original aspirations, and is shackled by the vanity of

another birdman, but the ghost whispering in Reagan's heart is
always ridiculing him, denying him, making him despise himself, forcing him to keep facing himself, and
finally he pushes him. Lost the fourth performance of Birdman and
decided to write and direct Carver’s drama "What are we talking about when we talk about love"

"Thank you for your sincere performance" The
most important sentence in his life is than Carver wrote to
Therefore, he always loves his words as treasures. The little note written on the napkin that he has kept close to his body has been
burned in his heart like a soldering iron from his youth to the present, and
became his light. The beacon
who worked hard all the way in the show business circle is his real superpower.

However, when he finally took on the blockbuster and
became famous all over the world, he found that he had lost himself in the law of madness, and had already lost his original sincerity.
While struggling, he resolutely quit everything
just to regain
the joy and sincerity of his first inspiration when he was a teenager when he was an actor.

However, this process of chasing dreams has not only failed him to get rid of the nightmare.
Instead, he led him into another endless nightmare.
As a director, he couldn't stop all kinds of huge pressures from hitting him
willful and lie actor.
Economic crisis needs mortgage.
Lover makes unreasonable fake pregnancy
film reviews. Unprovoked malicious threats. . .
He is almost old, but he is walking downhill unstoppable.
All of this makes him deeply doubt the meaning of doing this. It
makes him doubt whether it is a huge mistake to give up the glory of the past.

This drama is like a sea and
he is like a demon. Going to the sea, longing for the vastness, freedom, and coolness there, I
want to bury myself in it, and never wake up again,
but in the process, all kinds of unresolved things that cannot be shaken off are
like jellyfish entwining him and engulfing him. Poison deeply
forcing him to flee from the land of the pure sea,
had to linger like the underdog in general, both ways

because the subject matter of the similarity of
a lot of people say that this movie makes them think of Farewell my Concubine, or another black swan
can I As I watched it, I kept thinking of Shawshank’s
large number of long shots, walking through the curved and cramped passages in the background. The dizzying
narrow and dirty rest room was like a cell in which people wrestled and made people breathe. Difficult and
tense drums stimulated the jump in the temples and made adrenaline soaring.
All of this reminds me of Andy crawling in Shawshank’s sewers
mixed with mud and blood. The dark escape of prison for
ten years, chiseling a wall, just to be able to climb. Ascend to heaven
only for the yearning for the sea and the obsession with freedom in my heart.

Everyone probably has his own Shawshank.
The
difference between an invisible prison and a prison that is even heavier than a real wall is that some people are willing to be in the prison, thinking that this is the whole world,
they even admire the successful example of "Birdman"
rather than kneeling and sending their souls to the devil
to exchange

Of course, the material and fame of this world , there are also some people who are willing to take risks and give up everything
to compete with the devil for the pure land of their souls and
bet on everything, just for an initial dream
and stick to a plan that no one is optimistic about
to complete this scene.

The atmosphere brought about by the story of the unpredictable prison escape , of course, one would think of Carver
would also think of Yates' "Eleven Solitudes"
and Salinger's "Nine Stories",

but in the end, you will definitely think of Kafka.
in the morning, put themselves into large beetles in the house of a man
that rode briquettes empty bucket in the sky flying man
his life doing nothing achievement of the insurance company staff
unable to get rid of all the difficulties of life
only in the most intimate text
Only in this world can he grow magical wings and fly freely like a flock of birds.

These masters are all the best at writing little people
about their cobweb-like thick gray fate.
People struggle quietly, compromise, and are swallowed.
And their pens are always so calm and restrained
like bystanders,
but they always make me feel inexplicable shock and pity in my heart. I have

always felt that the emotions in these words are
too many subtle things unique to the words , and it is difficult to be The birdman restored in the image
is a good attempt.
At least it clearly allows me to see everyone inside.
They are all so familiar.

Everyone has a high self-esteem, but there is nothing in them.
Everyone is eager to prove their existence, but they are confused about what they exist.
Everyone tramples on the values ​​of others, thinking that they are different
but because they can’t get other people’s values. Recognition and sorrow, and loneliness.

Everyone hates themselves for being unable to tear through this sticky gray net,
yet involuntarily cocooning themselves, trapping themselves and others.
Everyone is stern
and violent to face the world with curses and violence
just to cover themselves. inner most people do not want to be touched
that most empty and most fragile ego

eventually, Reagan raised his gun, put his Shawshank ripped a big hole
when he woke up, the last time I saw the bird in the bathroom when
the bird again He didn't chatter at him,
but raised his mouth and squeezed a shy smile.
At this time, he knew that he had done it. He had
finally reached a reconciliation with his soul
and everything else was not that important anymore.
So he jumped and plunged into the embrace of the pure sky like the sea.

Nevertheless, did you get what you wanted in your life? --I got it.
What do you want? ——I am a lover and loved by this planet.
