At odds with the world, and trying to reconcile with the world

Watching this movie was purely accidental. I clicked on the recommendation on the Netflix homepage. After watching it, I felt a little insomnia. This movie has a little stamina. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a stream of consciousness movie. People who haven’t gotten it may think it’s a mess. If you get it, you will feel relieved. That kind of fear that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Some people use a consciousness Streaming movies tell you that you are not alone, at least this movie understands you.

Stream of consciousness movies put it simply, like a long dream of yours, time and space are chaotic, even jumping, all kinds of familiar or unfamiliar characters, all kinds of absurd scene transitions, you are sometimes happy and sometimes sad, all scenes Bounce at will with your consciousness. And this movie is like a dream. The heroine is a person who lives in the world and has a heart outside the world. She has a boyfriend but always wants to end the relationship. She obviously doesn't like it very much, but she will meet and date. Say what a lover should say, and do what a lover should do. Obviously out of tune with this world, but pretending to be very integrated, very happy. Obviously her boyfriend's family is very weird, and the dinner atmosphere is like a horror movie, she still tries hard to tell bad jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Perhaps we have all learned to pretend, overcome our inner fears, and work hard to play the role we need to play in this world in order to reconcile with the world.

Another emotion of the heroine is the passage of time and the fear of death. The film uses a lot of time and space conversion. One second before she was eating with her boyfriend's family, she was the only one left on the table during a glass of wine. Her boyfriend's parents will be young and old for a while, which is the time for a glass of red wine. The Lord seems to be traveling in an infinite flow of space, and the people around him grow old and die in a blink of an eye. Characters from different time and space in the play appear in front of the heroine at the same time, alluding to the encounter between the heroine's past and future.

This movie is not a movie that suits the public taste, it has a messy time, a ridiculous plot, no logic, it is not even a complete story, it is like a symphony that stirs your emotions, with long lines and dialogues, a lot of female characters The inner voice of the Lord highlights the contradiction between her and the world. She lives the life of an ordinary girl, but hides a rebellious and lonely heart. She strives to look like she is enjoying life. In fact, she is lonely and lonely, and she is afraid of aging and death. . Yes, in disguise, this is how we reconcile with the world.

    Reciting the poem "Bone Dog" and returning home in despair, the rabies virus damages nerve endings only for its own reproduction, just as a bad movie needs to take root in the audience's brain, so the name of Jimmy, who keeps throwing hair, is engraved on the ashes of the bookshelf ;Follow the Queen of Ice Cream Town to dream of singing and dancing life in a soap opera-like teaching building, and finally live as a pig with maggots in the cruel farm; You are the reason for my existence, but you do not exist, just like there is no objective color in the universe, It's just a physiological response to the human brain triggered by electromagnetic waves... Extremely sad, lonely to death, Charlie Kaufman did it again

    The story of your life is mine. It was not thick enough to witness such a turbulent. An old man revisited and compensated in his memories, but the past deduction had to be endured by himself in hysterics and futile. Stopping on this day, experiencing the wind and snow of time, reveals the reason and the stubbornness of love and harmony in the years. Charlie Kaufman’s intracranial brain waves, in the ups and downs, are pitying talks about human beings, why they met, why they separated, why they started, and why they ended. Maybe everything never happened, maybe everything has become an old dream.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things quotes

  • Young Woman: Happiness in a family is as nuanced as unhappiness.

  • 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.
