Yang Dechang said through "Yiyi": After the invention of film, human life has been at least three times longer than before.
As a dream-making machine, movies can allow us to experience other people's different lives in a few hours of light and shadow.
As dream explorers, the first choice for watching movies should be those good movies (good movies).
Good movies can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is to show you the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, and the other is to tell you that you are "born to be sorry for people", and the ugliness of the world is not only this point in front of you.
There is a god work that is almost full of points here, and it belongs to the latter
Detached
"Detachment" was listed as the 114th place in the Douban Movie TOP250.
The film is full of misfortune throughout, and almost every character is showing the pain in their lives to the fullest.
For those pains, it was a feeling that seemed far away from oneself, but seemed to be similar.
The film starred Adrian Brody, the male god of the "bereavement".
The plot mainly revolves around the teacher played by Adrian Brody, Henry.
Henry came to a community school known for its chaotic academic style, which was filled with abuse, anger, quarrels, and all kinds of instability as a substitute teacher.
Most of the students here are willing to degenerate and wantonly sprinkle their hormones that have nowhere to go, they are stubborn, blind, and trouble-seeking.... Doing all sorts of things that go out of the ordinary.
In Henry's first class, he was provoked by two students.
Henry, who is commonplace, easily solves the students' difficulties in an extremely ingenious way.
At the same time, Henry's unique teaching style aroused the interest of his classmates.
Although Henry appears to be a calm person, he can skillfully deal with all kinds of troubles at work.
But privately, he was tormented by the shadows of childhood.....
From an early age, there was no "father", and his mother committed suicide when he was a child.
In addition, he also has a grandfather who is in the "dying time".
He chose to be a substitute teacher because he didn't want to stay in one place for too long and connect with too many people, which was a burden for him.
In the film, Henry has a lot of connections with three women:
1: Erica
Once Henry met Erica, a prostitute, on the bus back from visiting his grandfather at the hospital.
Erica is doing something indescribable to a middle-aged male passenger on the bus, and Henry is ignoring it while hiding his face and crying.
As he himself said, he became a teacher because he wanted to guide the younger generation and prevent them from willingly degenerating into a beat generation.
When Erica's aid ended, instead of getting the money, she was slapped with a loud slap.
Henry was still watching all this coldly.
When the bus arrives, Erica follows Henry out of the car, asking him why he hid his face and cried in the car, why he didn't help when he was beaten.
Henry did not want to explain this too much, but only wanted to "go back to each house and find each mother" as soon as possible.
But during the second encounter, Henry takes Erica home.
Henry provides Elica with food, wipes her wounds, and provides her with shelter, but does not ask for "sex".
He just wants to use his love to impress this "little cute person" who is lost.
Henry's respect also made Erica gradually understand self-respect.
In this way, the two people began to take care of each other's life, and the film also entered a relatively rare moment of warmth.
But this is not a long-term solution, Erica can not stay with Henry all the time,
Eventually Henry sent Erica away.
2: Madison
Henry's unique teaching style and ingenious handling of student provocations caught the attention of female colleague Madison.
Madison has a good feeling for this melancholy "male classmate".
However, due to misunderstanding that Henry was not a mischievous schoolgirl, he came to an abrupt end.
3: Meredith
Henry's unique teaching style attracted Madison and his classmates, including Meredith, who was bullied because of obesity.
Meredith likes to take pictures and draw, and is very artistic, but he cannot get the approval of his father, but he is ridiculed and ridiculed by his father.
This made her more self-enclosed and gradually suicidal.
Henry, on the other hand, gave her the respect and encouragement she deserved, which gave Meredith a breed of admiration and affection for Henry.
Meredith, unable to suppress his grief, leaned on Henry's shoulder and wept and asked Henry if he liked her.
Henry was afraid that his words would hurt the sensitive girl, but he couldn't get too close to her.
Right here... Comfort is not, no comfort is not in the awkwardness, this scene is bumped into by Madison.
The sensitive Meredith rushed out of the door, and Henry was questioned and misunderstood.
As a result, Meredith swallowed the poisonous cake he made at the end of the semester and died on the spot.
What pushed Meredith to death was her own oversensitivity, the ridicule and foolishness of her classmates, and the disgust of her father, and when she tried to grasp Henry's last straw, she was frustrated by a misunderstanding.
Uncle thought Meredith's father should bear the main responsibility.
In real life, not all parents are qualified parents.
When Henry faced the sudden death of Meredith, but he was powerless to stop it, it had an incomparably huge impact on his soul.
He realized that he should take on some responsibilities....
At the end of the film, Henry goes to the welfare home to find Erica, and whether he will eventually take her back or just visit, I don't know, maybe you will have an answer in your heart.
"Detachment" is in a dull, gloomy tone throughout, and it throws us many real-world problems:
Teenagers are willing to degenerate, not every parent is a qualified parent, and everyone has one problem or another.
The most valuable thing about the film is that it does not deliberately sell on its gloomy tone, it just makes the viewer associate himself in the society through the film through the main color of the sun.
There is a cruelty to life: you think that you are different from others.
But life often tells you, don't pretend to be a teenager, in fact, you are the same.
We go out every day with all kinds of troubles, and we go home with all kinds of troubles.
When we try to solve our problems, but the old troubles have not gone, new problems will follow, and each of us is in such a "bad" cycle, struggling bitterly.
But then again, if you don't experience all kinds of suffering, how do you know the sweetness of life?
