Almost every day, either early in the morning, or at noon, or at night, there is a crackling sound in a corner of the city, and it is not fixed. position. Looking at the past, it is a gorgeous fireworks. When all the cities are banning fireworks and cannonballs, I always encounter them here by accident. At this time, I will be conditioned, as if every time the fireworks rise, somewhere in the city, there will be a sin. Oh, that's just something in the movie, but I always thought it was happening around me.
I went and lost an apple core, and when I looked back, they had suddenly changed from joking to affectionate. I can't tell the difference between the eyes in the movie and in reality. They stared at each other, then embraced and kissed deeply. I look horrified. A middle-aged and elderly male writer, depressed, in a state of waiting to die. A teenage killer. Calling it a killer is actually inaccurate. Because in the city of this movie, killing is a way of life, as common as eating, sleeping, listening to music, and shopping. The same way there are drugs, prostitution.
It can be seen that the director has set such a background, and naturally has a lot of ambition. But I have no ambition, so I lack the drive to explore. What I have is the general psychology of the general public: curious, brief. Therefore, the superficial thing of "homosexuality" was accepted by my eyes with light.
Homosexuality, the preposition said the other day, when most people mention the word, their first reaction is to refer to sexual orientation, but ignore the word "love". I have to admit, I never really thought about it. I'm thinking that when we focus on "sex", homosexuality seems to have more of an animal meaning in our minds. In this regard, it is clear that we are not thinking in terms of "people" in the first place. What a serious problem this is. People first, feelings second, and sexual orientation last.
When the preposition said this sentence, I was still in Shenzhen. When I wrote these words, I was still in Shenzhen. Going back to these words now, I can't remember the details of the movie. What remains in my mind is still homosexuality. They have a big age gap, different life interests, and different views on life. Old writers lose interest in life, and seek hope of survival from young people. Teenagers are on the verge of death all day long, and every day is a day, so material life is their most urgent pursuit. This same-sex relationship with a rich old man is quite common among these "killers"—let's call them that. And over time, feelings naturally arise. And so came the scenes I saw after eating the apple. And the social issues behind it, including the allegorical scenes in the church, are, in my opinion, the subject of politicians, and the director's intentions are futile. It's pointless to try to dissect and solve it in a work of art, because you're not a politician, a social activist. All that a work of art can do is describe and refine, and the core is people, human nature. Fortunately, there is human nature, and it is about human nature, so it moved me. With the help of homosexuality, the director made no secret of his pity and pity for life. Judging from his attitude, homosexuality is not something he wants to pity, nor is it the object of discussion, and homosexuality is not something that needs special attention. In other words, first of all, because they are people, people in a specific life context, this is enough, and there is no need to make a special in-depth rendering.
I stretched when the city lights came on. Going to work tomorrow. The pursuit of material things is the common goal of all. But people are still very casual. So I am grateful that life has given us such peace.
