ah, how miserable?

It's too miserable, it's too miserable, is it the life of an ordinary person, and the ordinary and plain shouldn't be so miserable, but why, is it a hypocritical expression of the movie, maybe it is, but I feel very uncomfortable watching it. Because I feel that the ordinary self is also like this, sympathetic and empathetic, and understands everything about him, but am I really that miserable, and I don't seem to be qualified to be miserable.

Ah I am so sad. Because I fully understand his life, the sad and terrible thing is that my inner world is gradually moving towards his withdrawn situation. Also often: I am thinking of ending things.

Is there a solution in life, is there no solution, is it hypocritical, hypocritical. Has the pursuit of the spiritual world harmed you, maybe?

At this moment, I can't help writing a film review here, and I feel that I am one step closer to his misery, so sad.

    Is it because the mention of "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" in the film made me think that way? I think it is the superposition of Kaufman and David Foster Wallace temperament, double the loneliness, double the alcoholic fragment-style thriller. What's more interesting is that the look and feel of this movie seems to be a bit gendered, the men around (if you watch it) will feel personally offended (not all bad meanings), and the women in the film are a shadow, a real ghost, like snow An indiscernible trace on the ground, I felt a thick emptiness and pity, but not identifying.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Young Woman: Everything wants to live, Jake. Viruses are just one more example of everything. Even fake, crappy movie ideas want to live. Like, they grow in your brain, replacing real ideas. That's what makes them dangerous.

  • Young Woman: It's a uniquely human fantasy that things will get better, born perhaps of the uniquely human understanding that things will not.
