Compared with "If You Are the One", which was released at the same time, I felt a kind of excitement and surprise.
There has always been a heroic complex in Hong Kong films. This heroic complex is based on the perspective of the general public: Stephen Chow, who turned his life around to gain wealth or love from a beautiful woman, Fat brother who gallops on the beach like a pony or cheats the world, there are gangsters in the police, The gangsters are thrilling with the police; the difference is that the heroic complex of the mainland is narrated at the political level, and the glorious hero image is contrasted with the heaviness of the hero in life.
Calling heroes is an outdated topic in the mainland.
If there is such a debate suddenly, a group of people will "rationally" analyze the background and reasons for the rise of this kind of thinking: "Heroes" are inappropriate, and have a taste of "respecting ghosts and gods and staying away".
When everyone fades out of politics and cares about their own economic interests blindly; when they don't even want to mention "heroes", Hong Kong directors have made such movies.
And our director Feng is "playing with art" and "making people happy"; of course, there is no shortage of market for director Feng's films, and there are always people who like the so-called "shallow" laughter; I don't want to learn from Lu Xun and die before Liu Hezhen. Then I will condemn those idlers who use this as a talking point. Maybe there are people who appear as "the people", pointing out that I do not allow the "people" to laugh at the harshness and tyranny.
A mature society does more than respect private property and personal liberty; if that is the case, why should we live together, separate property and personal liberty? The reason why humans are social animals is because the group is greater than the individual. This is the reason why we have evolved from ordinary animals. On the other hand, those human groups that have not gone through "abnormal exchanges" such as war and trade are not primitive. Lagging? !
Disputes and wars are eternal topics of human life, and they are also a factor in human progress. With strife and war, we naturally call for heroes. Heroes are the needs of social group cohesion and the driving force of social development.
Is Dong Cunrui a hero? of course.
Is Lei Feng a hero? of course.
Why did Lei Feng not sacrifice himself to bomb the bunker and become a hero?
Is Chen Jingrun a hero? of course.
Is Yang Liwei a hero? of course.
Why is it that Yang Liwei, who is also a pioneer in the science and technology industry, has less influence than Chen Jingrun in the hearts of Chinese people?
The ancients said: The times create heroes. What is the current situation, what everyone expects is the situation. Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs; saints are not benevolent, and people are dogs. What kind of people need to appear in any era, and what appears is a hero; in this sense, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping are all heroes of the moment, but these people should quit when the tide changes: Those who quit in time are still heroes, and those who do not want to quit are bastards, who are at ease. It's not that we don't need heroes today, it's just that the people we need haven't appeared; is Yang Liwei really the hero our times need? That is a political need; Yuan Longping has solved the problem of feeding thousands of households, he is a hero; is Zhou Xiaochuan a hero of our time? Just because he has gray hair? Is Dai Xiaojun the hero of our time? Yes, because he lifted the curtain and met popular expectations.
Create fake heroes and confuse the world. Lao Tzu said: The opposite is the movement of the Tao. If the chaos is not corrected, the lower foundation will overturn the superstructure. An era of eradication of true heroes is an era of all horses and horses - don't think that improving economic conditions is a democratic and open society, don't think that a society with premarital sexual freedom and one-night stand freedom is a democratic and open society, don't think that you can freely find a lady to open a house And supporting the third, fourth, and fifth is the disintegration of autocracy and the "robust" growth of democracy.
A president who has fought two wars and cannot make Americans feel more secure is a retard and an idiot, and a prime minister who increases the country's economic income and military strength is someone all women in the country want to marry.
After talking about heroes, here is a little supplement: a little depreciation of Yang Liwei's significance in scientific research and exploration.
Director Feng developed the so-called "Feng's Comedy" by filming Wang Shuo's novels and actors such as Ge You, Lv Liping and Feng Gong. On the other hand, "If You Are the One", there is only one Ge You left. When such an actor who lacks new ideas plays the role he played 10 years ago, Director Feng's ability is not as good as Wang Jing; the so-called "comedy" is pure without the connotation of life. It's a grandstanding, so Ge You's image in the film is like a glib and incoherent middle school student; this is also the reason why many people say that movies are like sketches, and the current sketches are like this, neither the actual direction nor the From life experience, it is not unreasonable to say that this film is a representative work of "kindergarten film". Although Wang Shuo's novels are "not serious at all", in China in the 1990s, the language of Wang Shuo's novels was a reaction to the traditional official language, which was "different" and profound; but by 2008, the official language had completely worn open crotch pants. , people's minds have long been "liberated", and our director Feng is outdated; he still has to write his own script (Zhang Yimou failed, Chen Kaige also asked Yan Geling), he really thinks who he is! That is to say, copying and copying, and finally, let Fan Wei and Ge You partner, it is Feng Director's innovation, but I feel that the two are not the same, and they can't produce a comedy effect.
So the only bright spot in the film is Shu Qi; I remember Huang Shujun once sang in "Across 1995": Taiwanese girls, Shu Qi is the most beautiful. Due to the recent release of this film, the former director Wang Jing did not forget to show his credit - as everyone knows, success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He, you discover others, let others become famous, you are kind to others? Just glorious? More and more black! Shu Qi played a "little three" very well, but the change at the end does not seem to be obvious. After a death, it seems that he has not left Fang Zhongxin in spirit. Why did Feng Dao close up a shot of a naked back? In the hot spring, the so-called "scenery and art film" has fallen into "eroticism" again. It seems to remind everyone - look, Shu Qi has taken off again!
When it comes to advertisements in the film, there are so many that the language of the film is not smooth and natural. It's Hainan Airlines again, why is it Grand China Airlines again? How does whisky ice green tea? baffling. The Xixi Wetland is simply introduced. Director Feng is bold and avant-garde when it comes to shooting commercials; I don’t think the State Film Administration has added one to the complicated censorship criteria. Number of advertisements/total movie time = X, There should be a standard value for this X; perhaps with "The Big Shot" first, Feng Dao wants to practice it himself as a pioneer in the innovation of commercial films? If "If You Are the One" is a commercial film that makes everyone laugh, as Director Feng said, then putting together many advertisements and selling them as a movie lacks at least respect for the audience and professional ethics.
Commercial film + scenery film + vulgar joke + hypocritical + inexplicable = "If You Are the One"
There were no good films in 2008, and "If You Are the One" is the worst I have ever seen, because it is not a movie. In 2008, there were actually many good movies, but unfortunately no one made them:
The story of the Ministry of Railways and Guangzhou Railway Group in January - documentary
film The scene of the torch escort in Paris in March - documentary film
The country after the earthquake in May The work story of the Earthquake Bureau - the shady film
builder's cutting corners and the largest-scale death of schoolchildren in history caused by the "Public Nine Movement" - the disaster film
The story of a taxi driver on the streets of Beijing in July - the life film
Lost by Sanlu in September The baby who died of milk powder poisoning and Niu Gensheng who strongly demanded to save the national enterprise——the shady film
about the disaster story of the collapse of the ground caused by the Hangzhou subway in November——the disaster film
also includes the Xiamen University professor who was beaten while visiting Taiwan, Chen Shuibian who entered the palace three times, and the Lhasa incident. The little soldier whose butt was dug, the homeowner who cut off his supply in Shenzhen, the "sugar king" who committed suicide in Zhanjiang, the pension money, the general public whose money for buying a house was "evaporated"...
It seems that Zi Nian is a huge turning point for China - whether it is "When the year is in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous" or "Gengzi National Change", or "Wuzi Prosperity": there are Olympic Games, disaster relief, manned spaceflight, three links, "becoming the largest creditor of the United States", and sending a fleet to the Indian Ocean to escort ...... 12 years, 30 years, one generation, everyone knows whether the Wuzi year will be "Hedong" or "Hexi", only God knows!
