In urbanization like the United States, communication between people is so difficult, such as DEAN and the mayor's son, they are not good at communicating with people. Moreover, the film extremely shows the communication barrier between parents and children. This is not only a so-called generation gap that can be perfunctory, but in fact, no one has really tried to communicate. This reminds me of those children who are immersed in online games. , and their communication with their parents is basically a big problem.
The beginning of the film is the situation of the Dean family: the younger brother is playing games, the mother is on the phone, and the father is looking for his own things. They are all busy and have no idea of communicating! Later, when Troy committed suicide, his mother was having a party. The drama was that she herself did not let Troy reduce the influence, but let DEAN go... These include the latter few troubled youths and their friends. So do parents. This is a problem between parents and children. Later, the problem between the mayor and his fiancée is also the same. She will handle everything and everything, but she does not dare to discuss it with her fiancé. She just hopes to get married quickly. She didn't even care about her son's disappearance; and her son, after being kidnapped, didn't have much resistance, and after the large, that is, her 12th birthday present, was smashed, she said, "I hate this thing." .
The next question is, why don't they communicate? I think it's a matter of urbanization. Commercialization has reached the present, and we people have been divided into individuals. We do not need to have any relationship with anyone at all to live well (this Chinese only child is the most prominent). However, this is problematic! It is true that people can live a lonely life. Like Kafka, we do not need to deal with anyone to survive, but we are all social beings, especially the students in the movie. Our hearts need friends. And it's people who need to be friends as friends, not those ecstasy pills, games and the like. And they obviously noticed that they also tried to communicate with their parents and friends, but unfortunately no one had any experience (just like our parents, in fact, this is a process of growing up together).
And what are the adults doing? In fact, I don't really know, and I don't think they know either. It should be said that they are not only busy with their own careers. Because I didn't see their pressure or the like, but the blindness of the capital, just busy!
The problem is basically out, so how to solve it? A violent man goes to prison, a child exercises, a single mother gets the mayor, the mayor resigns to engage in art, and two young people with communication problems fall in love; but I think this is just a compromise, which is often seen in American movies, After all, a country with only 200 years of history is still relatively shallow. However, I feel that the director is actually trying to teach those adults a lesson, which can be seen from putting ecstasy in the food: theirs should be high.
In fact, in my opinion, this involves an ultimate question: what do human beings do? We work 8 hours a day and think 24 hours a day, as if we live for the advancement of the social system, not the human beings themselves. Fight Club also has this meaning. In the film, as long as people say it's time to go to school, parents agree to strangers entering the home (going to school is also for social progress), they don't care about their children's lives, and they don't even care about their own lives, so they keep busy. Yang Dechang's "Mahjong" said: No one in this world knows what they want. They just wait for someone to tell them, so as long as you tell him in a very sincere manner, he wants what he wants. From "Mahjong" and "Fight Club" and other films, there is no clear answer. I don't think there will be any answers, because after all we don't know what we're going to do!
