In the free movie, I came across a French comedy movie, which was unexpectedly a surprise, and the movie Chinese called "Easy Freedom".
The general content is: a young man who has graduated with a doctorate firmly does not look for a job, but only wants to lead a low-security and aimless life to live a relaxed and free life.
His daily life is basically reading books, movies, seeing things, playing games with friends to talk about intimate topics, and doing maverick things (for example, wearing underwear to visit a museum where no one is). A recurring scene in the film where he reverses through the morning rush hour crowds, passing through the crowd, he's still in place.
There is a favorite situation like this.
The hero sits in a park chair in a daze, and the narration is that I am living the life of my dreams, sitting quietly in one place, watching other things change, I am moving but fixed, which is a very pleasant feeling.
I can feel the comfort of what he said, and I like to be in a daze.
However, a woman found that the hero had been sitting in the same place for several days doing nothing, so she began to accuse him of taking the taxes paid by everyone but not fulfilling any obligations, so she called the police to show her anger and attracted the siege of everyone. The hero has a face full of "Little friend, do you have a lot of ???"
This portrayal is very witty and humorous, but it is also worth pondering.
This is the first half of the story, and my feeling is: Maybe some people just have no desire for life, and in the eyes of others, they are vain, but it is not a kind of luck, an innate ability.
And, in my opinion, no one is qualified to judge the lifestyle of others, and any state of life that is just and upright should be respected.
Even, shouldn't we be thankful for such a presence, reminding us that in addition to the busyness of achieving our goals, we can also have a leisurely and unenterprising leisure.
Therefore, when I watched the first half, I seemed to feel that the hero was really enjoying a relaxed and free life.
However, the content of the second half of the paragraph overwhelmed my experience.
The girl who shared the room with the male protagonist said such a passage, which I think is the turning point of the whole movie.
"I really like you, I was attracted to you the first time I met, I think you are very free and casual, it makes me a little jealous, even your indifference to everything is attracting me." 」
"But, later I found out, you're not happy, you're afraid."
"You like to dream about your life, not to experience life, you don't do anything, that's because then you don't fail, and you think the best way to not die is not to be born." 」
"But it's not right, you're going to die like we are, but you're going to die unhappy, you've never tried anything, you haven't even experienced being happy, it's sad."
"I used to be jealous of you, and I now sympathize with you."
After listening to this passage, I still think that maybe the girl is wrong, he just likes this kind of pure heart and leisure life.
However, the ending of the story shows that I was wrong.
The hero compromises with reality, or more accurately, symbiosis, under the influence of those around him. He had desires, he got married and had children, and he found a truly easy and free life.
This is a reasonable and positive ending. It is impossible for a person to be without desire, and while desire brings some discomfort and hardship, it may be followed by unexpected joy.
People should have a little desire, and desire is a code that is in line with reality. This is my most direct impression after watching the movie.
But at the same time, I also regret it. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a completely relaxed and free life and a desireless human being in this world, after all, the reality is that it is necessary to exchange unfreedom for freedom.
However, if there really is such a group of people, is it also worthy of praise? Because this is a bunch of people who resist gravity, the rest of us can't do it, can we?
Of course, there will also be a curious question, can such a group of people get real happiness? What does that happiness feel like? Anyway, I can't understand it in my realm, and the emptiness caused by the derailment from social activities for nearly half a year has made me unbearable. Every day I struggle with the helplessness and powerlessness of always wanting to do something and not doing anything
Many times, I do have a Buddhist system, but I really can't do it without desire or desire.
