Life is never smooth, even if some people are born gifted, have excellent IQs, and have knowledge at their fingertips, they still need to be warmly healed. "Mindcatcher" is a film work with an elite genius genre, which mainly tells the story of the redemption of the rebellious genius teenager Will.
Mindcatcher is nominated for the 70th Academy Awards for Best Picture along with Titanic. Harvard scholar Matt Damon conceived it during college and then adapted the screenplay with his good friend Ben Efflet.
Bo Le wants to find Maxima, so he carefully organizes it so that he can meet Maxima. Professor Rambo of MIT is a distinguished mathematician who won the Fields Medal. He once assigned a very difficult problem to his students, and it was a fantasy to get a solution. But some people have done it, and the strange thing is that no one admits to being a problem solver.
No matter how hard we try, we can't figure out a problem, and its name is life. Some people are born lucky and win at the starting line at birth. And most ordinary people also need to work hard to heal their lives.
Heroes don't ask for provenance, and Maxima also has its own fierceness. His name was Will, and he worked as a cleaner in college to earn a living, often quietly calculating math problems in the mirror at night.
When he was young, he had no family protection and was bullied. One day he met Gini, who bullied him. After a violent fight, Will ends up in the game because of the fight. The gifted teenager also used his self-taught knowledge in the library to defend himself by citing scriptures in court.
Geniuses also need to be introduced to "Bole", and Professor Rambo meets Will in prison. Seeing that such a genius had failed to achieve anything, Professor Rambo deplored him and decided to release him on bail, and agreed with Will to discuss the academic need for psychological counseling every week. Maxima needs to continue to hone, grind the edges and corners, and live more sunny.
Teaching righteousness is the universally recognized criterion for getting along with jianghu people. Will's experiences growing up made him value friendship in particular.
Although there are no relatives to accompany him to grow up, the friends around him give him the most warmth. In order to defend his friends, Will debated with arrogant Harvard students at the Harvard Bar, "Plagiarizing other people's views to humiliate my friend, you spend fifteen thousand to get an education, and you can get it in the library for a piece of five."
"Trust is the cornerstone of everything". The rebellious Will succeeds in angering all the counselors. Uncle Luo agreed to the professor's request to counsel Will.
As soon as they meet each other, they give each other a dismount, and the painting of the boat drifting hints at the crisis of Uncle Luo's lonely and confused life, and Uncle Luo is successfully provoked by the first meeting with Will in the office.
In the second psychological counseling outside, Uncle Luo said his life testimonials. "You've never known anyone who can knock you down with her eyes, who can save you from hell, and feel like God made angels go down for you; you also don't understand what it's like to be her angel and love her like that forever." Go through it all, go through cancer. ”
"What I see is an arrogant kid who has been frightened and stupid," Uncle Luo understood Will. However, it is judged that a person cannot simply be a painting, and life needs to be experienced and experienced. The diversity and complexity of life experiences cannot be defined simply.
"You're an orphan, right?" Could it be that I would know how hard your life is because I read The Orphans of the Mist; unless you are willing to open yourself up and communicate with me, I can't know "who you are." You don't want to say, do you? Maybe you've been intimidated by the possibility of revealing your true self? ”
The innocent feelings of the young boys and girls also evoked Uncle Luo's memories of his experience with his wife. Finally, at the time of the fourth consultation, Will gradually opened his inner defenses.
Uncle Luo discovers Will's uneasy and fearful side as a child, and Will's inferiority and caution in the face of his girlfriend Skylan.
There is a sentence in "The Birth of Tragedy" that the pursuit of knowledge may be only a fear and escape from pessimism. Although in the eyes of others, Will is clever and can calculate many difficult problems, but Will has always maintained his characteristic inferiority.
Whether it comes from the family environment, status, or the benchmark academic qualifications in people's hearts, none of them can make him confident. He could only barely maintain his inner pride through study and the search for knowledge.
Uncle Luo said: Don't pursue perfection in love. Love is to tolerate defects, and partners should be the most suitable. It is those careless small mistakes and small shortcomings that the wife cannot forget for a long time after leaving.
Different ideas led to a contradiction in the communication between Professor Rambo and Uncle Luo. Because of the harsh social circumstances, Professor Rambo advocates over-intervention, looking for jobs that match Will's abilities. Pull his life on track.
Uncle Luo believes that rather than contributing to society, Will's spiritual world needs to be perfected. Only Will is noticed by others, opens his inner defenses, and needs to calm down and find his true self.
The two elders argue about him, the words of their partners, and their sadly departed girlfriends, and Will begins to reflect on his attempts to "think through everything".
Uncle Luo used his own personal experience to calm Will's mood, and the evidence of childhood abuse reminded Will of memories little by little.
Uncle Luo reassured Will over and over again, "It's not your fault," repeating it more than a dozen times. Will's answers ranged from "I know" and "okay" to silence, and the pain of the past once again covered his emotions. Warmth, anger, gratitude, from avoidance to acceptance, all emotions intertwined, Will shed tears of pain.
Heart to heart, with the heart, this is the most effective psychotherapy. All of Will's past doesn't define Will. Every choice for the rest of your life is the most real and effective. No matter how much pain you have experienced in your heart and how bitter your life is, you need to dare to look directly at your heart so that you can make some correct choices for yourself in the future.
Some people have the happiness of the whole universe, while others can only guard the loneliness of a night sky. Living alone for 20 years, Will had an untold painful experience. In the eyes of others, he smoked, drank heavily, fought occasionally, did not have a civilized word in his mouth, and made friends with a few hooligans.
What is a true friend? It should not be the people who eat, drink and have fun together when we are together, but the people who share your happiness and suffering in the face of adversity. Not the people who sweetly talk to you happily, but the people who point out your mistakes outright. It is you who are the ones who send sincere blessings when you succeed, and those who try to empathize and comfort when you fail.
His childhood friend Aben was furious when he saw him depraved, "You have a golden opportunity to do your best, but you don't have the courage to do it, it's nonsense, if I have your talent, I will do anything." 」 ”
A man who seems to have given up on life, but says something unexpected, and it is such a remark that awakens Will. Aben let Will seize the opportunity to show off his talents.
The genius teenager finally opened his long-sealed heart, shared his experience with Uncle Luo, and felt the real love from Uncle Luo. Two blood-dripping hearts, unguarded to communicate with each other, slowly discover that release is the best gift for yourself.
Because of Uncle Luo's empathy, Will's frozen heart thaws and tries to reconcile with the whole world. Finally his heart was relieved, his heart filled with pain was empty, he was free.
A heart that has been sealed for a long time, one day, can finally fly carefree.
The long shot at the end of the film is left to Will and Uncle Luo, who are both pursuing the happiness they want. Will drives his battered car to find his girlfriend. Uncle Luo also decided not to stop at the pain caused by his wife and start his own round the world. One day two healing souls will meet again.
This movie is full of the most beautiful feelings in the world, sincere friendship, twisted love, deep teacher-student love, mutual healing grace, all of which make them better people for each other. Fading the hard shell and calmly facing the world, such a theme is not limited to the genius of the teenager but also the growth of all people.
After injury, the scar is opened and impurities are removed before true healing can be obtained. Will was lucky to meet a guardian like Uncle Luo. The meaning of finding yourself, discovering yourself, and growing up lies in the awakening after reflection, and you can freely choose to do anything.
Success is not about what you have achieved, but about the search for yourself. Will did not succeed because of his title of a genius teenager, his success came from the discovery of himself, the excavation of the spiritual world.
