How do you evaluate Charlotte in "Charlotte"?

(Text: Starry Night Walk)

"Charlotte" is a movie that I like very much. The elements that moved me are of course the incredibly dense and coordinated elements. There are laughs, but more feelings come from the film’s portrayal of the protagonist Charlotte.

Art comes from life. From Charlotte, we can see the shadows of many people around us, especially those who have been unsuccessful for many years and have been tortured by life. They have never gained respect from outsiders or even themselves. Even if you don't respect your own middle-aged life, you should be even more touched after watching the film.

Charlotte is a man who has lacked father's love since he was a child. Perhaps it is precisely because he was not influenced by positive men in his childhood that he formed a typical escape personality. When faced with difficulties, people often do not take responsibility and choose to avoid those difficulties instead of taking the initiative to face them and overcome them. After marrying Ma Dongmei, this character flaw of his was infinitely magnified. His wife worked two jobs a day to bear the burden of the family and helped him solve the obstacles in life. But when he had a guarantee of survival, Therefore, he even more subconsciously avoids the responsibilities that should be borne by men. In Ma Dongmei's words, lying at home all day long, his limbs are almost degenerating.

But Charlotte is a man after all. Although he avoids responsibility, he still wants to defend his last bit of ridiculous dignity as a man. So at the wedding of my first love, I borrowed a car to drive around, took my wife’s hard-earned money and the family money, and wore a chicken feather suit with a nameplate that could be returned when used up to “pretend to be a man”, whether it was the car, the family money, or him. This outfit actually does not belong to him, which is destined to make him lose the face he lacks most in his life.

Faced with Yuan Hua's limerick "I went to a banquet alone in chicken feathers, all my classmates dressed up in chicken feathers", and the teacher's "two idiots" who had no intention of saying anything, Charlotte was in a very cowardly state, except for drinking. There was no other way to hide his embarrassment.

Facing Ma Dongmei, he had the courage to vent his inner dissatisfaction with life, outsiders, and his failure, but he still had to declare to everyone "Who dares to laugh?" I'm Charlotte". The seemingly helpful "Nobody laughs at Mr. Ma Dongmei couldn't bear to reveal the truth, and exposed the last disguise of a loser. In Charlotte's understanding, the last bit of dignity as a man was gone.

In the toilet, Charlotte’s confession: I have never accomplished anything, and what’s even more tragic is that I don’t know what I want at all, you’re a loser! What a loser! What a loser! I was completely moved. It turns out that Charlotte himself understood the reason why he became a joke. He lived his whole life without knowing what he had or wanted. He had no accurate positioning and goals, so he succumbed to life. He was eager to get rid of the loser. He has no plan and no ability to act. He can only rely on Ma Dongmei to continue living in a humble and helpless way, which is sad and helpless.

In the dream, he could only achieve success in life by plagiarizing other people's works, but why did he lose his temper to such an extent when he met the boy who sang Xingqing? Because he suddenly I realized that if he didn't rely on this false talent, he would be essentially the same as the loser. Others' success relies on talent and hard work, and has a real foundation, while his success itself is not. It is reasonable, unscientific and unrealistic, and he is instinctively afraid of getting close to the truth: as a person with no goals, no positioning, and no power of action, it is impossible to succeed because he does not have any conditions for success.

Once he understands this truth, he will realize that everything he has experienced so far is a mirror, and his success in the dream still does not get rid of the word "pretend".

After waking up from the dream, Charlotte snuggled up to Ma Dongmei every day. Through dreams, Charlotte had a clearer understanding of his feelings for Ma Dongmei, and gave up his persistence and "pretending" for face, but this Is it really a good thing?

When Charlotte cuddled up to Ma Dongmei, her eyes were tightly closed from beginning to end. This means that Charlotte still hasn’t gotten rid of his escape personality. He is not just avoiding life this time. The hardships he faced made him avoid all the dignity and face he had as a man, and he calmly accepted the reality that he was a loser.

Every time I see this, I can’t bear to imagine Ma Dongmei’s future life. There may be less quarrels, but one person will bear all the hardships, and the bitterness is unspoken. In the eyes of others, she is just the one who married Charlotte by mistake. lifelong.

A comedy that made me cry after watching it. I cried for Charlotte, but never got rid of the loser. I cried for Ma Dongmei, and fell in love with a loser.
