For such inspirational movies, I have always been in a complicated mood-first, I seriously doubt the pretentious elements in it, and second, I never want to be moved. But unfortunately, every time I sit next to the screen with a cold-eyed attitude, it ends up with tears in my eyes.
Yes, there is no heinous "righteousness", there is no earth-shattering "sublime justice", what we see are simple and pure ideals: a child who wants to play, a team that wants to win, That's it. It may happen by your side, or it may be something you have experienced. No matter how many artistic or fictional elements are involved, it cannot change the respect for human nature and the persistence of fairness.
Therefore, the four films are actually telling the same story, a story about dreams and struggle. Maybe we have heard too many such stories, maybe we have been insensitive to this since childhood, but I have to say that the real situation is not like that-there are no inspirational films in China, and we have never been inspired.
What we have are only “fascination” movies. For example, when we wake up in the morning and find that we have a billionaire father; for example, if my husband is beaten by someone, my wife will go to the door of the government every day to call for grievances, until we meet a blue sky master; A little beggar became a big brother in the underworld through all kinds of opportunities, or an unlearned young man became a big boss through a powerful relative, and so on.
Most of the so-called inspirational films in China are the routines of Journey to the West. Under the correct leadership of Buddha Tathagata, with the kind care of Guanyin sister, and with the assistance of the central gods and local gods at all levels, Tang Seng and his entourage have shown selflessness. The fearless spirit, the courage to struggle, overcome numerous difficulties, and finally defeated all kinds of monsters and ghosts and saved a large number of go astray but have a background of little fairies, and won a major victory in the battle of learning from the West...
We can't make inspirational films because we There is no such thing as "inspirational" at all. Here, "personal struggle" is a derogatory term. No matter how powerful Monkey King is, he can't jump out of the palm of the Tathagata. This is the accepted truth. But as for why the Tathagata is born as the Tathagata, and the Monkey King is born as the Monkey King, no one cares about it.
Speaking of this, I am not commenting on the movie. Sometimes I feel that it is actually a very happy thing to be a crowd of onlookers who don't know the truth, but the damn thing is that there are such things as truth, goodness and beauty in this world, and they are presented in an endless stream, just like these four movies. So I still have to really like the world and be touched by the real things. That's the only way to be considered a worthwhile trip.
