After watching "Flying Life 2", the author was most impressed by the two lines in the movie: "I have tried countless times, but the opportunity only exists once or twice in them" and "It's not in the past, but I accept it".
These two lines are very understatement, but they express the helplessness and acceptance of the middle-aged people in the film. even expressed the helplessness and acceptance of most middle-aged people in real life.
These two sentences reveal a deep sense of powerlessness, or frustration after experiencing failure, and a sense of helplessness that cannot solve the problem.
Whether it is for the middle-aged people like Zhang Chi in the movie, or for the middle-aged people like the author in reality, countless failures and setbacks finally made them understand that they are not the protagonist of the story, nor are they omnipotent heroes, but an ordinary person who does not even have the qualifications of a little monster.
They have tried countless times, but the opportunities are only there once or twice, and they don't take those opportunities.
In real life, ordinary middle-aged people like the author, when looking back on the past, were also stunned to find that they had missed so many opportunities.
But what if you miss it? It's not a reluctance to accept reality!
These two lines should come from a screenwriter with experience and stories, and he expresses his helplessness about life and acceptance of reality through these two lines.
Most middle-aged people finally know that they are no longer the high-spirited teenagers, they must accept the reality, accept that they are not the protagonist of the story, and accept the role they play in life.
These two sentences in the film not only express an acceptance, but also an attitude. They didn't pass, they accepted. Accept the injustice of life, accept your own powerlessness, and accept all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life.
In a way, this acceptance is not a negative attitude, but a positive attitude. They understood that what else could be done but to accept? Since you can't change your life, you have to accept it, and you have to accept it willingly.
It's better to accept it willingly than to accept it helplessly! Isn't it?
Therefore, the author believes that these two lines in "Flying Life 2" profoundly reveal the helplessness and acceptance of middle-aged people in the film. These two lines may come from a screenwriter with experience and a story, or even a screenwriter with an "accident";
And this screenwriter is a middle-aged man, or a former middle-aged man. Through these lines, he expresses his sense of powerlessness in life, as well as his acceptance and understanding of life.
"It's not that it's in the past, but that I've accepted it"!
