Crash and Schopenhauer's words on the subject of life and happiness
As i was saying in another thread, this movie reminded me a lot of Schopenhauer's words:
The most general survey shows us that the two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom. We may go further, and say that in the degree in which we are fortunate enough to get away from the one, we approach the other. Life presents, in fact, a more or less violent oscillation between the two.
Very fitting for the movie, wouldn't you say?
The human mind is so subtle, sophisticated and unpredictable, irrational really, to such an extent that man is the only animal that needs something more than being alive in order to feel alive. A perpetual headlong rush towards the next kick, which necessarily must be more intense than the previous one. Fascinating. Fascinating, yet unfathomable.
7/10.
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefsī² share
