Guide: Who knows now, in the past or in the future? Philosophy is the comfort of life, and reading is the comfort of life. In order to better understand yourself and your environment, you study for a better life.

It is futile to look for answers to life's difficult problems from philosophy, but the questions thrown by philosophy and the way of thinking to answer these questions can bring us some comfort.

When we are confined to the problems of personal life, philosophy can let us go out and ask questions to reflect on ourselves. Perhaps the consolation of philosophy lies in providing another perspective to help us ask the meaning of life, so as to face these questions calmly. Face the journey and adventure of life and enjoy a unique life experience.

As for this reading experience, I read it for the second time, and the tone was relaxed, natural and friendly. With the help of the life experiences and thoughts of six famous philosophers, I comforted different questions. These confused, unthinking, unthinking lives seem to be able to live as usual, but when you think life is meaningless, how can you suddenly come to life? Busy and don't know what The art of philosophy is to make us think about life by asking questions.

Who am I? Where am I from? where am I going? These questions are always there, and there will be no standard answers. When we think about these questions and try to answer them, even the most common and simple answers in personal life are precious. Where does the comfort come from? This is just a statement. Then practice your ideas with actions. Isn't this way of life a philosophy?

This book "The Comfort of Philosophy" is a second-hand book bought on catching more fish. On the page 197, it is written that "all moral philosophy can be attached to an ordinary private life, no less than other richer lives." The owner of the original book made a lot of notes, and here is a movie-the future. After the exam, I watched it twice (the second time was combing). From the perspective and feeling of a delicate woman, I have tasted the comfort of philosophy to life, without drastic ups and downs, only gentle slopes.

In fact, everyone is richer than they think. No matter how insignificant our life is, the insights gained from our own life experiences are better than everything else.

Natasha, a middle-aged philosophy professor and starring issbelle huppert, has a dull movie and a weak plot. In short, how do middle-aged philosophy professors face the changes in life (husband's infidelity, mother's death, disciple's revolution, children's marriage)? After reading it, it is also a relaxed feeling, and the story comes to an abrupt end in the atmosphere of Christmas reunion.

Philosophical dialogues and discussions, books that have accompanied Natasha for a long time, and background music at the turning point are all the ties and signals between the director and the audience, hoping to get a glimpse of other people's lives.

The gloomy weather at the beginning of the film, the tombstone on the coast and the humid sea breeze set a quiet and deep peace tone. Natasha is correcting the students' homework-"Can we go somewhere else?" From this point of view, the utility of philosophy here is ambiguous, that is, Natasha's work for a living and the pillar of life she faces. However, real life is more sudden, intense and personal than philosophy. Can we stay somewhere else?

Filtering out complex philosophy from ordinary life, seemingly unremarkable, is actually the comfort of philosophy.

Confess the change of life, "My life is not so bad, in fact, I am ready. I have nothing to complain about. My spiritual world is full, which is enough to make me happy. I just don't want to give up the past where I devoted my love. I personally take care of the flowers and plants in the garden and give up all my memories, as well as the small beach where I watched my children grow up. "

I have nothing to complain about. My spiritual world is still expanding, which is enough to make me happy. People with rich imagination can be self-sufficient, and even illusory satisfaction can be a real comfort to make up for what is missing, such as love. What's more, maybe even love is illusory.

Here, after cleaning up my small home by the sea, I went to visit my mother by car and looked at the sparkling sea all the way, as if to bid farewell to that time full of love. Life is not so erratic, but drifting in a boat. I thought you would love me forever, which was stupid. Let the sunset glow on the horizon dye the sea red, shining like a slender streamer ... think about "think about those days" and "think about those days, my friend, we will never end".

Natasha's mother is a neurotic old lady. She often calls to comfort in the early hours of the morning, turns off the gas to let firefighters save themselves, and refuses to go to a nursing home. "Those old people make me sick." Three marriages have been living in the shadow of abandonment, and finally she accidentally fell down and died. It is inevitable that each of us will find traces of our mother in ourselves. If there is no philosophy, maybe Natasha will collapse in middle age like her mother.

It is philosophy, not pain and sadness, that becomes her rational bone, emotional tears and reflects on life.

58 points, one of my favorite clips in the whole film, life is made up of flashes. Earlier, Natasha prayed to read Pascal's Meditations at her mother's funeral. The picture switches to the scene of taking a bus in her life. She was emotionally unstable on the bus, but when she caught a glimpse of her husband and lover walking in the street outside the window, she smiled through tears. Life slapped you, but you smiled easily. There are also two indescribable emotional changes in the film, frowning at flowers and crying with cats.

In the unexpected life, it is inevitable that the mood will fluctuate, but it is as smooth as ever.

"This is what I see, and it also confuses me.

I looked around, my eyes were dim,

Nature has only given me doubts and fears.

If I don't see any miracles, I will become negative and pessimistic.

If the symbol of the creator can be seen everywhere, I can find peace in my faith.

However, as far as I can see, there is too much to deny and too little to affirm, so I am trapped in a state of resentment.

I have prayed countless times, and if God wants to bless, he must give clear instructions.

If the mark he left is ambiguous, he will erase it.

He is either explicit or speechless.

I can find where I should follow. But my present situation is that I don't know who I am or what I should do.

I know neither my situation nor my responsibility.

I wholeheartedly expect the best and follow it.

I am willing to give everything for eternity. "

Change the environment and bring the cat left by mom. The cat who has been with my mother for ten years thinks that there is not much cat nature without catching mice, so she returns to nature and restores the cat nature, and brings a mouse back to Natasha at night. Natasha is worried about calling the cat's name, but she is actually calling herself, her nature. I remember that in the second season of The Great Lady Mercer, Mrs. Mercer's mother went to France alone, rented a room and disappeared.

"When we have desires, we will be unhappy.

We wait for its future to come true.

If happiness is hard to get, hope will spread.

The magic of fantasy lasts as long as the passion lasts.

This state is self-sufficient.

The anxiety it brings is actually a degree of satisfaction.

This kind of satisfaction can fill the reality and be better.

Unfortunately, those who want nothing.

He lost everything because of it.

We can't be satisfied with what we have.

Hope always brings more happiness.

We don't feel happy until we are happy.

This state of self-sufficiency

Is the power of imagination.

Something that can make up for what is missing, such as love.

Imagination gives her a pure spiritual enjoyment.

At the same time, it is illusory and effective in a sense.

For an imaginative person like Julie,

This illusory sense of satisfaction can become a real comfort and support.

It can make up for or even replace physical happiness. "

The end of the film is full of warmth. The birth of new life and the continuation of life enrich the world of love in a slow time. Natasha became a grandmother and calmed down in the atmosphere of Christmas reunion, so the changes in Natasha's life came to an end. There are fewer stories in the world than people, and the same plot is repeated, but the name and background have changed.

We glance at other people's lives through movies to reflect on what kind of life we want to choose.

In the course of his life and misfortune, he tried to pay more attention to the fate of the whole mankind than his own, and behaved more like a wise man than a victim.

There are also many flowers in the film, which were changed by her husband and abandoned; Visit your mother and pick flowers by yourself; After the students left, they were in a daze at the flowers. Do the French really love flowers, or do they love life more? In the morning, the sun shines through the window. If there is a bunch of flowers on the table, everything will become clear under the reflection of the flowers. Everyone's life should be full of flowers!

The pantomime Zi Wang is worthy of the name, and the whole process is a prop-a chair. It is said that pantomime is half imagined by oneself, and four fragments are still clearly remembered. There are metaphors between bubble gum, driving, funeral, abandoned baby and laughing. Ha ha ha ha ha always reminds me of a cold joke. Haha and Xixi are good friends. One day, haha died. Xixi said at the tomb of Haha, Hahahahaha, you are dead ~ Is it cold? Hahahaha ~ Life, hahaha is right.

Today's monologue:

"I look forward to perfection wholeheartedly and follow it. I am willing to give everything for eternity. 』
