Another name of The Banshees of Inisherin should be called: Decision to Leave.
"The sorrows and joys of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy." A hundred years ago, some philosophers had already seen through. A hundred years later, the director also saw through it and made a tough film "The Banshee of Inisherin".
How tough?
In order to break up with friends, chop off fingers one by one!
In the movie, Colm and Padraic have always been inseparable, often drinking and chatting together. Suddenly one day, Colm didn't want to talk to Padraic anymore. Even though Padraic knocked on the door desperately, he turned a blind eye.
Padraic chased after him, intending to ask questions. Colm admitted that Padraic did nothing wrong.
Yes, I just don't like you.
He said and left.
The sudden shattering of a friendship between two men, with one resolutely breaking off the relationship and the other stubbornly trying to keep it, gradually turned into a frenzy of violence: cutting off hands and burning houses.
How did the two get to this point?
It's actually not that complicated.
They chose opposite paths in the matter of "how to live".
They were never in the same world. In order to continue life, Colm tries to prove the meaning of his life. Padraic just wants to be a gregarious boring guy.
Colm is one of the few characters on the island who has awakened. He pays a great price for losing his precious fingers in order to stop wasting time and complete his self-imposed quest.
Under the absurd world, everyone needs to face the spiritual crisis.
This is like the world we live in now. Most people don't care what's going on outside. Few people even think about what they really want.
In an isolated environment, ignorance and boredom make people gradually alienated. People gradually diverge from each other.
Not everyone has the courage to cut off boredom like Colm.
