Everyone is a good friend

I was attracted by the violent images of movie posters, and many websites introduced the movie without "violence." In fact, from the beginning to the end, anger is more suitable for the label of this movie than violence. The two old friends in the film travel together. Fatty deliberately broke down the car on the desert road where there was no front or back to the village and no shop. He wanted to be alone for a while, to communicate with each other, and to talk to each other. However, the unexpected breakdown turned the two people's fear of the situation into anger towards each other. At first it was slander, stabbed where it hurts, and later it was a forceful attack, where blood was shed.
In fact, it was originally two people, one road, daily cathartic dialogue, and punching and kicking of adult men. Such a low-cost production does not look new, or even boring. But it is the content of the mutual scolding between the two that makes me feel that the two protagonists are more like a metaphor, like two sides of one person. The fat man is the ideal, and the cockscomb head is the reality. The roads in the desert, like life, are equally boundless. Ideals and reality clashed, and there were disputes. The ideal satirizes the reality as being numb, boring, and hypocritical. The reality also admits that the novelty of extramarital affairs is only temporary, and after a long time, it will be a boring wife again; the reality also abuses the ideal, impoverished, unrealistic, and daydreaming , jealous of the rich. . . Isn’t that exactly what our hearts are like, living a realistic life and dreaming ideal dreams, sometimes our hearts are higher than the sky, and sometimes we feel that our feet are too high off the ground. In the conflict and struggle, "putting hope on others" and "missing opportunities", I don't know whether to be cruel to others or to blame myself.
Regarding this open ending, pessimists feel that writing, music creation, resignation, and traveling around the world are all just cockscomb head (reality) dreams, fantasy in predicament, and will eventually fall into the pit of reality. Dusty. Although still alive, he is just panting, waiting to be buried by the dust of the day.

  • Mitchell: Blech! Oh, what flavor is this?

    Carter: Bacon and margarita.

  • Mitchell: A 30 year old loser, living in his car, is about the last person that I'm going to be looking to for advice on how to fix my life. So unless you want to put out a book of "don't"s based on all of the ways you've screwed up, which is the only thing you're ever likely to publish, you should probably just shut the fuck up.
