The world wants people to eat people

Marcelle 2022-01-26 08:03:34

This world is a man's world,

But it wants people to eat people,

With innocent eyes and cheerful laughter,

Killed so many people with one knife at a time.

And the living are no longer human,

What lives is a thick powder of fat,

stacks of banknotes,

or there are still people,

really caring people.

no longer human,

The tears shed by angels,

Give the slightest mercy.

I used to be afraid of being called pessimistic by others, afraid of being hated, afraid of a lot, afraid of so much, so I was always trying to fit in, smile hard, or perform hard.

Diligently pretending to be funny, just to win some smiles and friendliness, even though those friendly hypocrisy are hateful and powerless to deal with.

I hate the world,

angrily hate,

But kneeling down reverently,

I hope the world will give me a look,

give me Love,

I cried bitterly,

My heart is full of grievances,

I died a second before the light,

White beams of light stuck on my corpse,

looks like an angel,

as if there was nothing,

something that has never been,

What makes ghosts and ghosts weep,

——

A heart with bloody tears.

    Inheriting the mantle of German expressionism, the warmth that is rarely seen in the film after the noir shows. The film techniques and styles after Lynch can find their source in this film. The character's movement and framing composition can see Dreyer's legacy, which is very interesting. The soundtrack has a coquettish style throughout. If it weren't for Lynch's film, I would probably think it's more like Tim Burton's work.

    The first session of the Suzhou Art Association Restoration Film Festival. Black and white images have a feeling of the old times, when human technology has advanced to have machines and trains; but in an era that is far from gender and racial equality, the existence of the elephant Merrick has tortured everyone's conscience. Emotional man rather than a circus animal, yet too few people in that era treated him with kindness, even doctors, couples and actresses, only more kindly than others of the time. The nurse's response was more genuine, from resistance to love, and more compassion than doctors. I couldn't hold back my tears since Merrick and the doctor and his wife shared photos of each other and started to socialize with each other normally. The wiki has a real person, the circus experience is not much different from the film, but it is equally tragic, with a mild personality, not anti-social or anti-human.

The Elephant Man quotes

  • Night Porter: [to Treves] Only Mothershead can sack me now.

    [unknown to the night porter, Mothershead is behind him, she who proceeds to clobber him over the head, rendering him unconscious]

    Mothershead: [in a satisfied voice] Done!

  • Dr. Frederick Treves: Because of the extensive area covered by papillomatus growths, the patient has been called "The Elephant Man".
