Ed Wood has been in Hollywood all his life, never made a big hit, and is still called "the worst director in history". His representative work, "Project IX from Outer Space" is likely to be regarded as a pile of shit by most people - in fact, watching him in the film is absurd, pulling actors around and struggling just for the sake of Making a bad movie full of transvestites, zombies, and aliens left me speechless. Although he is known as the "King of B-movies", I still can't compliment Xie Bumin for the films he made.
Not long ago, a friend told me that men who work hard are the most handsome. Every time I see Ed's excited and focused demeanor watching his own film at the premiere, I have indescribable sympathy and admiration for him. Sympathy for him on this road where he must be excellent to stand out and make a name for himself and finally get nowhere (or there is, but the vast majority of audiences don't buy it, at least I don't appreciate it); admire him for giving everything for his dreams , the courage not to look back after hitting the southern wall.
Many biographies always tell us how much inhuman torture, extreme suffering, incomprehension of the world, and so on, the great people have suffered, as if they were born Jesus, and after suffering the cross, they can be reborn. Ed told me that after a hard time, it's usually hard; after a failure, it's probably still a failure. Many sociological works tell us that society is divided into different classes (of course, our Chinese dynasty has long ago eliminated classes, there are only so-called classes!), and the outstanding are only a few. Little people are crushed, crushed, and ashes by life step by step. Except for the inscriptions on the tombstones, they cannot leave even the slightest mark on the long history.
Does that mean that the little people can only spend the rest of their lives humiliated and humiliated by Ai Ai? of course not. We are the majority of the bottom 80 percent of the pyramid. The society has nurtured us, and we are also working hard, marrying wives and having children, earning money to support our families, supporting our parents, and feeding back to society. This sociality allows human beings to multiply and civilization to survive.
Of course, all of the above is nonsense. What I really want to tell you is to experience and carefully appreciate this wonderful process of being a human being. I don't want to mention the "Xiao Que Xing" that was mentioned by many people as bad, I just want to say that the feeling of beauty is everywhere. The aftertaste of the last sip of milk in the mouth; cooking another delicious dish by oneself; a certain smile among friends; every string of stirring words; every moving note; every graceful figure; the daughter's first A cry... blah blah blah, there are too many things worth living for. Why focus on the illusory concept of "success".
In fact, I want to say, walk your own way step by step, do your own responsibilities, and be brave enough to take responsibility. Maybe the next hurdle to cross is Longmen.
