At the beginning of the film, the camera was focused on Benjamin's confused face, the camera gradually zoomed out, and the announcement of the arrival of the flight in the cabin sounded. It might be like a high school essay that begins by pointing out some of the graduate confusion that Nichols wanted to express. What followed was Simon's voice: "hello darkness, my old friend...". "The sound of silenc" must be well-known, and it is the same feeling of the background era as the movie wants to say. In the 1960s, the United States was in the midst of troubled times. The Vietnam War was deeply mired in the quagmire. There was also a high awareness of anti-racism and civil rights in the country. Martin Luther King led the black people to the world playing the charge song "I have a dream" and squeezed into the world. At the same time of history, the American idol-level spiritual leader John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. After Nietzsche told the world that God was dead, the American dream also seemed to be in a certain degree with Kennedy's fall. smashed for a while. The Beat Generation seems to be continuing its hoarse hoarseness. Everything is doomed, just wait for Nichols and Hoffman to tell the story. . . Confused and helpless, in the face of reality, there is no power to restrain the chicken, and even the progress of the depravity is also frightening.
At the end, Nichols drew a happy ending, but how many such dramatic perfections are there in reality?
