Someone said:
"Life is like a dandelion, it seems to be free, but it is involuntary."
Oh, yes
Who isn't in the middle of nowhere? Who doesn't live as an island?
Just write four big words on the forehead - "Do not come near the living".
Between the buildings of big cities, it will inadvertently give people an indescribable sense of alienation, and in the face of this alienation, we seem so small and powerless.
The sense of loneliness that gradually seeps out is even more inevitable.
While venting negative energy, he also took care of himself to face the annoying life with chicken blood.
But the calendar turns over page after page.
Today's you are actually no different from yesterday.
Anxiety, confusion, disappointment, depression...
All kinds of negative emotions are completely pressed on the shoulders until they collapse.
I believe that you who live in a big city will feel the same way.
The sluggish state of life begins with feeling "lonely".
It turns out that men and women who eat and drink are all the same when they are lonely.
Some time ago, I brushed a Small French Film and was poked in the soft ribs with a burst of blood.
There is no turning point of dog blood, only a narrative that comes out of the story.
It may be the most naked state of life of all urban men and women, and unveil the most indescribable scars of countless adults.
All kinds of things, all kinds of things are hidden in this movie -
"Somewhere, Somebody"
Two Me(2019)
Looking at the poster reminds me of "go left to right".
The male and female protagonists obviously stand together, but look in different directions, which quietly implies that the two are doomed to have an intersectional life direction.
To describe it as a "back-to-back hug", it couldn't be more appropriate.
Remy and Milani are two young people who are working outside.
They have a lot in common – being single, living alone, and being far away from home.
In the international metropolis of Paris, the traffic is busy, the light and shadow are intertwined, but you can't feel any temperature.
Remy and Milanie's residence is only separated by a wall, and there have been countless chance encounters, but they have always been wrongly touched together.
Compared with the isolation of space, the psychological alienation that is close at hand but has no intersection is more depressing.
Perhaps, like the two protagonists, we all suffer from "urban autism".
How lonely is it?
It was as if the whole world had passed by itself, leaving itself alone to breathe.
The cause of loneliness is due to the high pressure on young people in big cities.
In this regard, the loneliness of Remy and Milani is so similar.
Remy's company decided to replace human labor with robots, so Remy was laid off.
The confusion and anxiety after losing his job overwhelmed him and he often couldn't sleep.
The psychological pressure is too great, and even faints directly on the subway.
On the other hand, Milanie is plagued by the constant pressure of her work.
Unable to walk out of the last frustrated relationship, It made Melanie even more injured.
Depressed slightly morbid, he has been in a state of drowsiness, and he has not improved from taking medicine.
Two people whose living conditions are so similar, but they do not take the dog blood route and huddle together for warmth.
When they were plagued by anxiety, they appeared on the balcony together to smoke or be in a daze; met in a pharmacy, asked the doctor about their sleep, and even "owned" the same pet at the same time...
Regrettably, the two neglected each other.
You could say it was deliberately done by the director, but what I'd like to say is that this is life.
Life is not a novel after all, where do so many coincidences come from?
We thought that the convenience of high technology would make it easier for us to establish interpersonal relationships, but in fact, people are more distant from each other.
To try to get out of loneliness, Remy met a male friend on Facebook.
Who knows that after meeting, the other party will only brag to himself, and the scene once made Remy very embarrassed.
Milanie broke up with her ex and has been devastated ever since, feeling that she has no desires and no needs, and that she is really empty and relies on sex to paralyze herself.
But she soon discovered that happiness was only temporary.
After a short and pleasant revelry, she was lonelier than anyone else.
Until the end of the film, two people who have no intersection at all, really meet each other for the first time.
Before that, they were just passers-by, each alone.
Then wash away the haze, smooth the wounds, accept yourself and hug each other in the posture of setting sail.
Looking at the whole film, you will find that the director did not deliberately create loneliness in order to highlight loneliness, but dug out the small things in life.
Those inadvertent feelings of loneliness can make the audience feel empathy, like peeking into the lives of urban young people.
"Somewhere, Somebody" is more than just someone's story.
It speaks to you and me, you and me who are in trouble and cannot extricate ourselves.
We are always lonely, so similar.
Obviously, the city is very large, but there is no real place for you, and people come and go to feel that they are the most inconspicuous.
Even with self-doubt, you have a shining point that deserves to be loved.
Thankfully, the male and female protagonists did not give up their own redemption, and the ending of the final encounter did not let the whole film fall into the cliché.
As Lu Sihao said:
"There is no one in this world who does not have injuries, and the only person who can really heal himself is himself."
Remy has not been reborn by meeting Milani, and he is not Milani's savior.
The Dao is one foot high, the devil is one foot tall, and no one can save anyone.
Their encounter was only accidental.
After all
Accept and embrace yourself first in order to love others better.
