Hello, everyone.
Wikipedia
This is a story about a change of fate...
On Route 60, the hero encounters people who embody his shadow personalities...
I'm not sure if I've chosen the right term, so just in case, I'll write it like this - people who exhibit addiction, the same kind Neil could have had if he had taken a different path - unable to withstand his father's pressure, he entered law school, received an education, pursued a career that didn't align with his soul's calling, which could ultimately lead to dissatisfaction, apathy, and depression...
I think this would be a fertile ground for the proliferation of these destructive habits.
Now let's delve into those shadow aspects of human personality that the authors of this wonderful film embedded in the "character" of the characters that Neil encounters on Highway 60.
He meets:
Mr. Cody: "And I love cigarettes. They say they cause cancer - and they do!"
Here, there's an obvious destructive habit like smoking and a less obvious (or perhaps it's a delusion, and only I see it this way) shadow aspect that Mr. Cody himself is unaware of because it's a lie... And he doesn't like liars.
Are there people who like being lied to? Raise your hand if you've never lied?
I think we all sin with this habit.
The most insidious lie, hidden in statements like these (quote from the movie):
A deep quote from the movie:
Nymphomaniac: The first time was so-so. I even thought: Is that all? And there are so many songs written about it? The second time was a little better. The third time it was something. The fourth - not as good as the third. But as soon as I did it enough times to compare, I felt like I was going crazy.
I can't help but share the content of one of the comments I received yesterday -
"What happened is much more likely to happen again than to happen for the first time."
So the repetition of certain bad habits leads to a "fixed habit."
No wonder the Ministry of Health warns us - "Smoking is addictive - don't start smoking."
She offers Neil to have fun...
(He refuses, but would Neil have refused this woman if she hadn't told her story?
And didn't tell him he was her 1966?)
How do we find out if we have a "predisposition" to such a condition?
This beautiful girl generously shares her experience.
You know what psychologists say?
That everyone who feels protest now has a packet of such seeds inside.
An interesting theory.
Fits well with the text.
So I leave it to public judgment.
The mother sacrifices her health, and I can confidently say - fate, and also tries the drug offered to her right in the police station.
(She came there to ask for help.
Her son didn't want to come home.)
The first attempt is free.
And then - all the "tops of society" in one city, all working and receiving drugs as their salary.
No one robs stores, no one lurks in dark corners hoping to get money to buy what is already issued as a salary...
The duplicity of this story is striking - on the one hand, there are no criminals in the city at all, even "potential" criminals from all districts move here.
And that seems good.
And on the other hand, this system brings a lot of evil.
A perfect example of the unity of such "opposites" as good and evil.
Neil is also invited to join the merry local community and try drugs. But he refuses.
So there are two options for a negative life scenario, voluntary self-sacrifice and drug addiction.
Everything is clear here, love for food is also an addiction, satisfaction that is hard to deny.
So you always have to stick to the rule - "don't eat when you're not hungry," but how to stick to it when the appetite arises at the mere mention of that smell you feel when passing by your favorite bakery located in the city center?
Here a whole city of people...
You have to watch the movie to enjoy the incredible fantasy of the authors who painted an incredible picture for us...
Manipulative lawyers, workaholics, competitors, scammers, brilliant businessmen have devised the perfect scheme to always have a job.
It is in their prison, in a cramped cold room more like a cave, behind a dirty window on which # is written, sits a beautiful fair-haired bird, a dream of the main character.
The end or the beginning of his old or new life.
And how I want to shout to the whole world - movies are pure lies.
But in one of my dreams, I found myself in a large office building where Miss Medusa Gorgona was in charge, how she screamed when she saw me...
Just kidding 🤣
I'm retelling the plot of another movie called "Barbie."
Have a great evening, everyone. ❤️
