Sometimes I'm fine. The rest of the times I think about Detachment (2011)
I would recommend watching this movie but it'd be like telling y'all to jump off a cliff.
It depicts the pain of merely existing in this fucked up world in the rawest way possible. The reality of our flawed educational system is portrayed exceptionally well. When you're done, you'll realize that simply being a student and going to school is a canon event in and of itself. The cinematography is hauntingly beautiful and it'll leave a mark.

Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false. Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable."
Our young men, today, are being told that women are whores. Bitches. Things to be screwed. Beaten. Shit on. Shamed.
This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, “the power that be” are hard at work dumbing us to death.
So, to defend ourselves and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination. To cultivate our own consciousness. Our own belief systems.
We all need these skills to defend.. to preserve our own minds.

One must wonder how Yuding Zhenren feels during the events of Lotus Lantern...
[ID: A monochrome purple comic. In the first panel is Yuding Zhenren from the shoulders up, resting his head on his hand while reclining and looking up with a cold, angry expression, saying "Yang Jian." In the second panel is Erlang Shen from the shoulders up, looking down at Yuding Zhenren with a detached expression, responding "Shifu." The third panel zooms out to show Yuding Zhenren reclining on a mat while looking up at Erlang Shen, who is standing a few feet away. Yuding Zhenren says, "My... How you've grown." Yuding Zhenren and Erlang Shen both cast reflections on the pond beside them. While Yuding Zhenren's reflection looks largely unchanged, where Erlang's reflection should be, are the image of him and his sister as kids, crying and kneeling in front of Yuding Zhenren. End ID]
