Superstar

Chapter 2008: Enduring

Almond Camby, a professional film critic from The New York Times, also sat in today. Before the release of "Schindler's List" at the National Theater, Almond had always been a representative of stubborn conservative film critics. He also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Hugo's works. For a long time, Can be regarded as a representative of the Hugo opposition; but after "Schindler's list", Almond's views have changed-more from the pressure of the entire Jewish social system, not Almond Real feelings inside.

For Hugo, Almond can't be said to be hateful, but he can't be said to be like. Over the years, Hugo has written countless miracles in Hollywood, and his momentum has reached unprecedented heights, but it is only the "L.A. Confidential" that really impresses Almond, because the retro style of this work fits perfectly. For Almond's taste, he walked into the cinema three times to watch this work. In addition, "perfect perfection" can barely count as half.

In addition, Almond has always lacked a little passion for Hugo's works. It's not that those works are not good, he also knows that those works are changing the direction of the film industry in all aspects, but Almond has never found the kind of chemical reaction that makes him too excited.

When attending the premiere of "Trumen's World" today, to be honest, Almond didn't hold much hope. He was only attending as a bystander, but he didn't expect that after the movie was over, Almond was stunned. Sitting on the seat, even though everyone stood up and applauded, he still sat in the corner alone, motionless.

It's not because he doesn't like it, on the contrary, Almond really likes it so much. This work reawakened the passionate enthusiasm in his heart and reminded him of the classic "Death of a Salesman"-but it was different way. Almond was sitting in tears, his brain was completely crashed, and he could only let the raging emotions rush all over his body. This long-lost emotional fluctuation reawakened Almond's memories—remembering him. Why did you like movies in the first place: Because movies can contain too many emotions, making life difficult and making life simple.

"In the classic "Paradise Cinema", there is a line: Movies are much simpler than life.

This seems to be the case, because the fate of the film lies in the hands of the director and screenwriter. Even if the world of the film is dark and painful, the director and screenwriter, as the gods who make up the world, can still change everything according to their own ideas. . But life is not good.

In my childhood memories, I once fantasized about the possibility of aliens, and then thought, if this world is a virtual environment, each of our thoughts is controlled by aliens, in fact we are just Part of the alien family TV series-we are living according to their ideas, they are our gods.

This idea is absurd, but it is very interesting.

At the very beginning, I thought that everyone is an actor, and the lines, plot, and personality are all decided early. The whole story line is determined early, and each stage has certain small goals. In the end, these small goals are brought together to form the stage goals, and then they are connected to form life. But there are different ways to reach these small goals, and the process between each node can be changed. For example, a person is destined to get married, but there are different interpretations of who gets married and in what way.

This is just basic thinking. In the follow-up development, I gradually discovered that people’s thinking is actually controllable through the people I meet, the books I’ve read, the movies I’ve watched, the music I’ve listened to, and the things I’ve experienced. Change the original idea, or create a new idea. At the end of this kind of thinking, it returned to my original idea: the entire earth is a world to be viewed, and even the entire galaxy is a miniature world, and advanced intelligent creatures outside the galaxy created this miniature world— -It's like shooting a movie, a movie called "Trumen's World" for entertainment.

Based on this theory, I have always believed that everything that happens in life has a cause and effect. The small one can change the state of life, and the large one can change the outlook on life and the world. The people you meet and the time to get along with each other are also arranged long ago. In general social thinking, this theory is called ‘fate’, and some people call it ‘faith’. Thus, God became the root of everything.

Now, "Trumen's World" tells such a story in this way, reawakening my childhood thoughts. It seems that every one of us is a Truman, and we don’t know exactly what is reality, what is illusion, and what is dream. We also don’t know if God is behind it, or an entertainment program is controlling us. I.

Our understanding of the blurred line between reality and fiction defines our true self. "

After the noise of the premiere ceremony ended, Almond still sat in his seat for a long time, always reluctant to leave, waiting for the cleaning staff to enter the screening hall and start work, and Almond stood up reluctantly. His first reaction was to go to the ticket window and want to buy another movie ticket to watch "Trumen's World" for the second time, but was told by the ticket seller that the movie has not yet been released. Almond then realized that today is just the premiere, and the full release will have to wait until Friday of this week.

There are still four days.

Almond walked all the way back to the hotel. There were many thoughts and thoughts along the way. After returning to the hotel, he wrote this film review, "The boundary between the real and the illusion-the world of Truman 'Thinking that it brings.'

The biggest impact of this movie on Almond is the virtual show constructed by Christopher. Paradise Island is like the earth, and Christopher hiding behind the earth is an alien. Is everyone’s life real or real? It's illusory, but no one can make it clear.

"In the movie, Truman has repeatedly felt that he is the center of the world, as if the whole earth is revolving around him. His every move can trigger a series of chain reactions, which makes Truman fall into confusion and try to I got rid of this feeling, but never succeeded. When Truman told his good friends this idea, he was ridiculed, "You are not that important."

Indeed, the earth revolves around the sun, and we are not the sun, we are just ordinary people. But it seems that everyone has had an illusion similar to Truman at least once, as if an entire small universe is formed with oneself as the center, and even a single look can cause the effect of breaking the sky and the earth.

When we grow up, we will tell ourselves that this is incorrect, this is an illusion, this is a kind of arrogance-this is just a vain fantasy. So we began to gradually compromise, learn to follow the instructions of the society, return to the so-called reality, and integrate with society.

But what if... if we confuse reality and illusion, and regard illusion as reality and reality as illusion, what should we do? What we think is true, is it true? Are the illusions that we are thinking of, are they really illusions?

This issue is deeply discussed in "Trumen's World". Truman’s growth was almost controlled by the “hands of God” behind the scenes. His dream was to become Magellan. However, the attacks of vicious dogs, the cold water poured by the geography teacher, the frequent occurrence of disasters and the death of his father made Truman. Looking at the sea in awe. So he packed his dreams back and stayed in place honestly.

His lover is Lauren, but Lauren’s father’s forced intervention, mother’s serious illness, Meryl’s company, and Malone’s persuasion brought Truman and a man who doesn’t love him at all to come together and get trapped in Japan. Day after day in life, I am at a loss, but I don't have the courage to change.

In life, these accidents happen all the time and seem to be real. We all attribute these accidents, these disasters, and these coincidences to fate, shirk them on God, and then regard this life as'real'. Convince yourself to accept these "truths" and hide your dreams quietly in your heart. But if, if these accidents are the same as in the "Trumen's World", they are all God's methods, are you willing to break the shackles and pursue true reality?

This answer was given in the movie. In an interview, Christopher was asked why Truman had not discovered that the world he was in was false for thirty years. Christopher said, ‘because people accept reality’.

Because people accept reality!

This is a very incisive answer ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ exists in almost all aspects and angles of life. We always attribute the accidents, stumbles, setbacks, disasters, pains, and tortures in our lives to destiny and God’s instructions, and then feel at ease to believe that this is our own life, this is our own reality, and those that are related to'destiny' All violations are illusory.

However, if the truth is revealed one day, each of us is Truman, and the truth that each of us believes is the ‘Truman’s world’, then do we have the courage to pursue the true reality?

This is precisely the greatest part of the whole movie! Because when Truman knew the truth, he hesitated, hesitated, feared, and was confused, but in the end he chose to move on, leaving this world centered on him, and toward another unknown world-either illusion or reality, who do not know either.

The world is terrible, cruel, and bloody, but Truman has given us courage, the courage to live.

Everyone's definition and views on the ‘border between reality and illusion’ define this person’s existence. Are you a Truman? Are you living in a false reality? Are you a Truman again, dare to challenge the boundary between reality and illusion; Are you really a Truman? After knowing the truth, dare to step forward. step? "
