Hello, I'm a shrimp.
"People who have no mobility, even if they have millions of lottery tickets, dare not cash in." - 1997 American film Mindcatcher
Mindcatcher is an inspirational drama film about an MIT cleaner named Will, who has a great talent for mathematics, but is a rebellious and problematic teenager, and fortunately, Will is discovered by Professor Lambert and appreciated by him. Eventually, with the help of Professor Lambert, psychologist Thorne, and friend Chuck, Will opens the door of his heart, gets the salvation of his heart, walks out of the shadow of loneliness, and finds himself and love.
The whole movie is deeply moving and thought-provoking. It is worth mentioning that the highlight of the film is the process of psychologist Thorne and the genius teenager Will from hostility to friends, that is, the process of treating Will. Will's dialogue and game with the psychologist Thorne can be called a model of psychological counseling textbooks, and a piece of dialogue that goes straight to the heart, like a long-lost sunshine shining into the hearts of Will and all the audience, can't help but make people awe-inspired.
This is one of the few films in the history of cinema that has a large amount of soul-washing dialogue, so here I would like to quote those wise and warm lines in the play, hoping to give everyone some inspiration.
When the professor is attacked by Will's self-righteous words, Sane utters one of the most classic lines of dialogue in the film: "You're still just a kid, you don't know what you're talking about!" If I ask you about art, you might come up with the crude arguments in the books. You know a lot about Michelangelo, but you don't even smell the Sistine Chapel. If I ask about women, you are precious, but you can't say the real joy that comes from the heart when you wake up next to a woman. If I talk to you about war, you'll throw Shakespeare at me, but you've never been on the battlefield. I ask you about love, you may only chant the wind and make the moon, but you have not tried to pour out your heart with all your heart. You glanced at my painting and thought you knew everything about me? Your wild words ruined my life! ”
When Will is bent on staying on the construction site, Chuck angrily says to Will, "If you're still here after 20 years and nothing has changed, I'll kill you!" You already have millions of lottery tickets, but you dare not cash them! I come to your place every day to pick you up, and we go out to have a lot of fun. But do you know what my best moment of the day is? Only about ten seconds: the time from the parking lot to the door of your residence. Because whenever I knock on the door, I want you not to be in the house. Without a word of goodbye or see you tomorrow, without saying anything, that's how you left. I don't know much, but I know all this. ”
When Will confronts the girl he likes and is reluctant to take the initiative to sabotage the "perfect" relationship, Chuck shares his marriage through heartwarming memories: "My wife farts when she is nervous, she has all kinds of wonderful little traits, and one night she is loud enough to wake up the dog. Oh my God, it's been two years since she died, and such wonderful little things are the things I miss the most. Those little traits made her my wife, and she knew all my little flaws, which people call imperfect, but they weren't, and that was the good thing, who to choose who to let into our little world. You're not perfect, I don't want to upset you, and the girl you know isn't perfect, but the key is whether you can adapt perfectly to each other, and that's what intimacy is. You can learn about everything in the world, but the only way to get back to the roots is to try it for yourself. ”
And what finally unties Will's heart is the two wonderful dialogues at the end of the film, where Thorne says to Will, "Do you have your own soul mate?" Have you ever worked hard for this sincerely? At this time, Will fell into reflection and self-blame, and the most touching thing was that Thorne kept saying "Not your fault, not your fault, child, not your fault" in a soft but direct tone, and finally Will broke down and cried. At that moment, Will's defensiveness had been completely washed away, and he was redeemed.
I think these weighty conversations are worth reading and pondering. How many people, like Will, wrap themselves in a space they consider safe, imprisoning their thoughts and footsteps. In the face of the high wall, in the face of the wonderful world outside the wall, I want to climb over or push it down, but I have palpitations, I am afraid to pay, and even in the face of the olive branch that actively extends, I am wary and do not know how to cherish.
The film may be more like a mirror, reflecting on our inner world through Will's arrogance and confusion. Our loneliness, helplessness, wandering, cowardice are made public by the three-dimensional, ruthless.
It is the real environment that forces us to learn to hide ourselves, and I wonder if we don't meet "Lambert" or "Thorne" in our lives, will we always lose ourselves until we lose ourselves. How sad is this, are we only alive to watch over that useless pile of garbage in the cold walls?
Life is never dominated by passivity, you should have a chance to have a sincere dialogue with yourself, to look directly at the world sprinkled with sunshine, to understand and fight for the life that should belong to you, often to arouse the inner desire, is these things that we can't see or are afraid to see.
It's time to re-examine yourself, try to get out there, find yourself, explore what you really want, and maybe meet the nobles who heal and help you, good luck!
Thanks for reading, have you met the noble people in your life?
