Are you blind or you see?

John chapter 9, verse 25 whereas once i was blind ,now i can see

This line appears in David Fincher's Mind Games, from John's Bible Chapter 9, verse 25. I used to be blind and unable to see what was in front of me, but now I can see clearly.

Coincidentally, this quote also appears in Martin scorsese's 1980 film Raging Bull, but Martin uses it at the end of the credits to honor his teacher Haig P. Manoogian

So, for the second time, (the pharisees)

Summoned the man who had been blind and said:

"Speak the truth before God.

We know this fellow is a sinner.”

“Whether or not he is a sinner, I do not know.” the man replied.

“All I know is this:

Once I was blind and now i can see.”

(Philicians) again

called the blind man and said

"Speaking the truth before God, we know this man is a sinner."

"I don't know if he is a sinner or not," the man replied.

"All I know is: I was blind, and now I see again."

Humans will always play a role, one must experience lost, or repent, or autistic. Michael, the protagonist of the mind game, is a billionaire, and has been shrouded in the shadow of his father's suicide by falling from his own building at the age of 48. The wealth brings him arrogance and indifference; the character of the angry bull, Jack (a real person), is the premier of the moment. The boxer has always been unhappy because of the shady and unwilling to join forces and cannot win the championship, and then he fought his wife and brother, and he lost everything. At the end of the story, the protagonists realize that they are Blind, but they have both lost a lot of things.

People will definitely pass by something, and they will definitely repent.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. People should cherish every decision they make and be responsible for every action they make.

so, Are you blind or you see?

    Rewatching @filmoteca almost all characters are stupid, Sanguan looks disgusting in my opinion, it’s hard to empathize (probably I don’t like Martin to a large extent because he does many of his films), so I start from the beginning. At the end, no matter whether the plot has a climax or not, there is no fluctuation in the heart, but fortunately there are De Niro's performance and a few extremely wonderful clips.

    Songren Weixiu's second brush, the body is very good! A rough and vigorous description of chaos (noisy soundscape), 40s style (such as Body and Soul, Life magazine), but the uniqueness of anger and instability burst even more. The black and white tone makes the background of multiple scenes (boxing matches, clubs, bars, prisons, etc.) canceled, smoky, and consistent; the rebate also continues to the protagonist set of The King of Comedy. The play is actually quite simple, grabbing the man’s flaws (suspicion, arrogance, vain, and eventually swelling, a bit of thinking of the greatest American dream tragedy Citizen Kane), and it also makes women’s positions and opinions clear (Cathy Moriarty has A few scenes think of Kim Novak), but he is essentially just a poor boy who wants to succeed. On the ring with melancholy notes, a ray of ghost punching the void, how much young can he control his body (and hit his opponent hard), and later he even weighs It can't be controlled, let alone the complicated sophistication.
