Speaking of freedom, have you ever imagined such a life, away from the hustle and bustle, back to nature, listening to the call of your heart, under the mist of the mountains and mountains, walking through the enchanted forest, traveling on the banks of the gorgeous river, riding horses in the desert, experiencing the rough western style, letting the wind confuse the eyes, and letting the soul stretch out in nature.
Have you ever grown weary and uneasy about the day-to-day mechanical life, feared the proof of your own existence, doubted and shaken life and institutions, and longed for another possibility of life?
Presumably, those who have this kind of thinking are unwilling and yearn for freedom, and although they have chosen to compromise in the face of life, the inner flame has been stirring, as long as there is an opportunity, the inner little Nezha will wake up again.
And the confrontation between freedom and system, countless films and literature have been presented to us, existentialism represents the writer Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus", in the face of eternal day after day, futile pushing stones up the mountain, the cycle of meaning or not, revealing the absurd nature of life.
Regarding the confrontation between freedom and fate, in Camus's Plague, the plague imprisons mankind in the city to provoke a revolt of a wide range of social classes, a confrontation between free will and alternative barriers, revealing a hint of anti-heroic idealism in the absurd.
The philosopher Tsurumi Shunsuke once said that young people do the right thing, I like this sentence, this young does not necessarily refer to the size of age, but may also refer to the adolescent state contains the energy of rebellion, this energy is very important.
And most people want to reinvent themselves in rebellion, recreate themselves, and use this as an opportunity to enter an unknown territory and smell more possibilities in life in freedom.
Regarding freedom, if you visualize it and project the shadow of freedom onto the individual, then he may be a debauched Sagittarius, may be the son of a wild man on the screen, he is "the sexiest man in the world" - Brad. Peter. He is a walking hormone.
Looking at Brad. Pete's acting career, playing a variety of roles, can be described as a variety of mental patients in "Twelve Monkeys", the crazy second in the "Twelve Monkeys", the shrewd and capable detective in "Seven Deadly Sins", the warm-hearted death god of "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", the scumbag who deceives people and money in "The Last Wild Flower", and the small clerk in "Burn After Reading", all have good acting skills, but just like Feng Xiaogang in "Old Cannon", Eastwood is in "Classic Car", Brad. Pete is the most handy, can be called the role of the true color, not "Burning Love Years" in "Tristine", "Big River Love" Paul is no one.
He said about this role: I always thought that most of the roles I played could find more suitable people to play, except for the role of Tristine, I knew that I was the best candidate, from the first time I read the script, I knew everything about him.
Indeed, from on-screen to life, Brad. Pete was always the wayward child, wild, unruly, yearning for freedom.
"Burning Love Years" was released in 1994, as we all know, 1994 is a classic year, called the fairy fight, Shawshank redemption, Forrest Gump, pulp fiction, big talk Westward Journey, these classic years let the film leave a brilliant shadow in the passing time, of which the burning love years are also among the best, the film through a family, showing the wandering of a child of nature and an era of epic.
"Big River Love" was released in 1992, two years before the burning love years, telling a story about family and hometown, warm and touching, like a lyrical prose full of feelings, warm and warm, touching and profound.
From "Big River Love" to "Burning Love Years", these two works, which are only two years apart, are also about the story of family, but whether it is Paul or Triesteen, their spirit of yearning for freedom, their personalities, are so close, coincidentally, they are the second son in the family, and the ending of their lives is so similar.
And what leads to the end of their lives is the unruliness and resistance of free souls, mixed with the mockery of fate, and the charming danger or tragedy, or legend, or lamentation.
Tristine was born with the roar of autumn, greedily breathing the free air of nature, he was wild and uninhibited from an early age, often "knifed" deep into nature with indians, listening to his inner voice in the silence of all kinds of people, in his childhood he had cut off the bear's claws alone, he was brave and fearless, in the season of natural maturity and everything dormant, he could often hear the roar of the bear in his heart.
This roar has accompanied him throughout his life.
When the third brother Samuel returned to the Montana prairie with his fiancée Susan, Tristin rode a horse and walked slowly, Susan fell in love with him at first sight, Tristin was full of wild vitality when taming the horse, so that Susan, who was peeping in front of the window, bit her lip tightly, and the man's free spirit and the male power behind him deeply attracted Susan.
Soon, a station broke out, the third brother Samuel was brainwashed by the authorities' public opinion, to rely on his own enthusiasm to participate in the war, he is simple and pure, whether it is love or the world with absolute idealized feelings.
The shrewd and stable eldest brother Elfer, with an aura of "civilization" on his head, has great political ambitions, and accompanies Samuel to the battlefield for future political development.
Tristine, who has no need for the world, has no interest in this, but out of love and protection for his brother, he also follows them to the battlefield.
They hugged their former colonel fathers one by one to say goodbye, away from the natural world, and plunged into the cruel war.
However, most of the people who "longed" for war or absolutely idealized war, often did not experience the cruelty of war, unfortunately it happened, Samuel was blinded by a german gas bomb during a reconnaissance campaign, trapped in thorns and thorns, like a slaughterhouse waiting to be strangled calves, in The Call of Triestin, was shot by the Germans madly.
Tristine, watching his beloved brother die in front of him, but could not save him, planted a seed of guilt in his heart, and the emotional impact of tearing his heart and lungs evoked the wildness in his heart, and at night, he smeared blood on his face, dressed as an Indian, took advantage of the night to touch the German camp, cut off the scalps of countless enemies, at this time, the bear that was sleeping inside him was awakened.
Back in the Montana prairie, he fell in love with Susan and lived a stable life, Tristine still could not forgive himself, accepted Susan's love and guilt in his heart put him in a dilemma, the roar of the bear in his heart also made his soul free, and finally he chose to exile himself, in a September, autumn day with falling leaves, the season of natural maturity, he chose to follow his soul and find freedom.
Some people say that this is an irresponsible practice, Tristine has been running away from himself, thinking of the opposite, he has been pursuing himself, he has chosen to fight the guilt in his heart in another way, how deeply he loves his brother, this guilt is heavy, for him who loves freedom and disdains the worldly framework, this kind of imprisonment is tantamount to stripping away his life.
So, he completely exiled himself, he walked through the grasslands of Africa, fought against the great waves of the sea, hunted in the quiet forest, lived together with the primitive natives, and his inner roar slowly weakened, year after year, on the grassland, the snub autumn festival, the dawn of the moon, Tristine went through vicissitudes, and finally returned, he also found himself, and completed the confrontation between freedom and destiny at a certain stage.
However, the hometown of the return is no longer human, the mighty father is half paralyzed by a stroke, the brother Elfer has become a member of Congress, and Susan has become his sister-in-law.
After half a life of wandering and returning, he let go of his former obsession, married Elizabeth, had two children, life seemed to be stable, but like a bear stranded on the beach, that voice has been stirring, at this time in the United States "Prohibition" period, Tristin chose to sell alcohol to make money, which touched the interests of the authorities, a policeman inadvertently killed his wife, the roar of his inner bear was aroused again, he and his father, Elfer hand blade enemies, after which he returned to nature, Chase yourself, fight the bear, and die where you want.
The autumn leaves fell one by one, and he also lived a legend.
If Tristine's pursuit of freedom is a rebellion against the social system of the time, independent of nature. Then the freedom that Paul pursues in "Big River Love" is independent of himself, he is like the little prince in the fairy tale world, on a sad day, he watched his fishing line 24 times in the big river of his hometown.
Paul, like Tristine, has a wild and unruly personality.
He enjoyed fishing, often fishing in the big river with his brother Norman and father. He is full of spirit, like a perfect work of art created by nature, beautiful and fragile.
Freedom if not guided, it is easy to walk into a narrow fork in the road, he is deeply involved in the bright life and gambling, he wants to withdraw but has long been unable to extricate himself, and he chose to fight against the groove cake life, is loyal to the ideal of childhood "I want to become a fishing master", this sentence he spent his life to pursue, even in the darkest moment of life, he never gave up, on the eve of the last day of life, yearning for freedom, he chose to fish with his family, he wanted to use the agreement between his childhood and his brother, Fight in your own way against the gray life that is trapped in it, that is the last stretch when the wings of freedom are broken.
Paul and Tristine are kind, brave, loyal to themselves, uninhibited, unruly, they love freedom, the children of nature in the depths of their souls are like little princes in fairy tales, and they either become legends or complete their redemption in the process of chasing themselves, pursuing freedom and even rebelling against the system.
The soul does not seek eternal life, but to impoverish as much of the realm as possible.
Tristine was born in nature and died in nature, the original life force in him, is the embodiment of freedom, when he rode a horse from the grassland, the autumn leaves, the moon's surplus, are gently singing the song of freedom, that is the wandering and return of life.
Paul, like a perfect work of art created by nature, died of the world's subsidence, and he completed his rebellion with his own insignificant ideals and childhood conventions.
Freedom is a process of three steps and two steps back, most people want to let go of themselves, but they are trapped in themselves, physical confinement is not terrible, terrible is the unfreedom of the mind, so that people forget that life and the power of resistance.
And in real life, some people's freedom to shout with their arms is freedom in their mouths, and they are afraid to avoid true freedom, just like Ye Gonghaolong.
And those who can hear their inner voice clearly and act accordingly, these people have either become crazy or legendary.
