累了?

  安慰的话,听多了,其实很烦,因为已经知道下一句会是什么,但却还是必须一句句听下去。更让人讨厌的是把明明就很烂的情况描述得很美好,什么事都没有一样。这世界很美好,你会没事的,别想太多,以后就会好的。

  更糟的情况还有,在两人都会不开心的情况下,对对方说“你会没事的”,“你会过的很好”。而这道问题是绝对不会有全方位正确的答案的。“是的,没有你我照样会很好。”,“不是的,没有你我不会好”,前者在大部分情况下其实就是事实,但没有人会这样回答;而后者就算是真的,也是问者希望的答复的情况下,到底是为了满足问者心灵上希望被给予肯定的需要,是不着痕迹地逼着答者做选择,还是以一道没有问号的问句来斥责答者对于两人关系所投入的心意呢?

  一次又一次的出现后,其实很反感,他到底是不相信你呢,还是不相信他自己?而一次又一次的出现,让人感觉他其实根本不了解你自己在想什么。“在他心里你就是这样的?”人生经历的不同也许会有影响,但也不是小孩子了。过去不是借口,以前也不会是现在,没有人能永远地玩老鹰抓小鸡只当小鸡。

  为什么,又累了?

《Elysium》



  Elysium, a place where there will be no decease and death, no pain and suffer, a place where everyone will find peace. Well directed and very well played. Inspiring and touching. For he who to save himself sacrificed for everyone. 

  I bet that seldom took it seriously when first on Elysium the officer or something else said that downloading the data would too kill him. Not until the mere end of the story when choices had to be made and again it was announced. A moment so touching when he had to decide whether it will be him or everyone else but him. A setting of he himself pressing the button made the contrast of importance between oneself against the whole humanism even more significant, and by making the decision and having it executed by himself demonstrated a sublimation of mind concept which does not belong to him in the beginning of the story. From the aspect of me getting a life to that of me doing something that would do good to the others. 

  It was very stunning that in the end still he died. Not of radiation nor fatal mission, as which a tragedy would be, neither did he triumph in victory which a comedy would suggest. A nice little trick that would trigger a brainstorm in the brain and too, in the heart. The willingness to sacrifice are always touching, Titanic, Iron Man, Pacific Rim, Avenger or even Despicable Me. But none had been so intense as compared with Elysium, as for in the beginning, He wanted a life. Having one to give up what he had been trying so hard to achieve is extremely difficult and would take a long time to even make the decision. Maybe, it was the movie that we could say it was a setting, but what if it's really our life there and it happened to be that of which a decision has to come. What would we choose? I have my answers.

  Elysium, a movie that magnified a mental loop that almost everyone on earth had before that there are places, things, times, opportunities, futures meant only for the privileged ones. That we can only stay here, on "earth", waiting for what we are unwilling to face, decay and die unwillingly. Despite the fact that it is touching, it is too, inspiring. By minimizing it to our everyday life, Elysium is here, not in the sky but in our brain, a constant reminder that tells us we can't, we won't succeed. Breaking them is the key to our future while compromising descends us to "earth", where darkness stood above light and evil condemns good. 

  May there be light in our life and future to lead us into peace while numerous Elysium appear to testify that in life, there is always hope, but remember, grasp not onto glory and triumph but the efforts and persistence, sees not the Elysium but the path into it.
