People can't live in the moment, so hope is created

I understand the logic of this movie after reading the film review. For me, it is a very special technique. I understand that a young man with low self-esteem and loneliness has lived his whole life in loneliness, and he is depressed until his old age. Unhappy and hesitant, he hated himself so much that he thought he was a pig with maggots in his stomach, so he fantasized about another ideal life of his own. In that life, he found his ideal girlfriend and brought her back together. I saw my parents who made me feel inferior. In this picture, it can be seen that even if it is a picture of my own fantasy, I can't get rid of the inferiority in the male protagonist's bones. After all, we can't get rid of the shackles of our own thoughts. His parents, while imagining that his girlfriend kept saying that he wanted to leave here, took his girlfriend to buy his favorite ice cream, and at the same time imagined that the girls selling ice cream were mocking him. . . . . In this way, the male protagonist who is about to die ends all this in his fantasy. The reason why I find it special is because I often fantasize about some scenes that did not happen, such as the scene with my future boyfriend from acquaintance to marriage to having a child, to fire and salt, and there will be dialogues in it. How the bridge section should be designed will be better. Now suddenly you find someone helping you turn the thoughts in your mind into a movie, you are not surprised. But next time, you can change the angle, an ordinary guy about 23 years old, fantasize about his romantic and beautiful life, beautiful wife, lovely children, healthy parents, successful career, life is sweet and beautiful, and at the end of the movie, As soon as the picture changed, the young man had turned into a 50-year-old uncle, with a big beer belly, bald hair, wrinkled face, yellowed teeth, greasy, and married an ordinary-looking woman who was as bloated as him. Children drop out of school early, and their parents are old and cannot be taken care of by others. But this doesn't seem to be profound and has no educational significance, except to add a sense of powerlessness and oppression to the audience, harm, whatever

By the way, I really love the filters in the movie, especially in the part of buying ice cream, the filters made of cyan and blue are absolutely incredible. There are two movie scenes that were also shot very well. When the female protagonist Lucy was eating at the male protagonist's parents' house, the camera slowly panned to the right, and slowly left through a wall until only Lucy was sitting in the corner of the table. , that sense of loneliness can be deeply felt across the screen. There is also a scene that follows, the camera is pushed forward until only Lucy is left sitting at the large table, and in the background is a wall decorated with dull green, which is extra large, so large that it can take a person's body. Loneliness is magnified tenfold.

One of my favorite lines in the movie, people can't live in the moment, so they create hope.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Young Woman: I don't think Jake wants me down there.

    Mother: Jake can be controlling. You can't allow him to control you. I think it's the other side of his type of personality, this diligence thing, needs to control everything! There are so many, many things that make him nervous and he keeps closing off more and more of the world. It's a problem! And the few people he does have left in his life follow all sorts of rules, it really is a problem. I guess I'm probably to blame. All this guilt causes me to feel obligated to bend over backwards to accommodate his every little whim, it's a vicious cycle!

    Young Woman: So what exactly are you saying to me?

    Young Woman: I'm saying take the darn nightgown to the basement. Live dangerously.
