Key words: Is violence in human nature?
1. Off-topic composition;
Excellent story foundation, accident version of the story, serious off-topic proposition composition. I like the story setting of this film, which is very rare and has a strong selling point. Like Chinese tea and moon cakes, the packaging looks like the Queen Mother Gongxi, and it tastes better than steamed buns. He promised to cleanse the human beings, but in the end, he was busy dealing with internal conflicts in the family.
2. The expression of violence;
The attitude towards violence is the biggest difference between Eastern and Western cultures; to what extent is this difference, in the West, violence is human nature, in the East, violence is just a sin - a wrong choice in survival, and Humanity doesn't matter. Don't believe it when you say it, eating with a knife and fork is the most specific understanding of survival. In this way, Eastern and Western human beings really cannot be regarded as a kind of creature. Relatively speaking, Easterners are more vegetarian-vegetable, and Westerners are more carnivorous-animal. Specifically, easterners eat meat for the purpose of cooperating with the staple food, while westerners are different, and meat is the staple food.
This topic is too big, so I try to keep it small. For example, "Romeo and Juliet" versus "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". Sometimes, history is always so amazingly coincidental. On the one hand, these two stories have very strong regional and cultural attributes, and at the same time the name structure is very similar. The difference is that the former is the violent packaging of love, while the latter is not related to violence. Roughly estimated, Eastern literary critics
When seeing "Romeo", it is almost certain that this is a new love theme - violent love. In the East, there is only one circumstance in which love can provoke violence, that is, robbing a relative. In the West, whether it is "Du Shiniang" or "Golden Jade Match", if you are not clear about it, fight.
Say something superficial. Advocating the "chivalry spirit" of dueling has even been imprinted in famous novels in the West - "The Enemy of Monte Cristo", "The Three Musketeers" - this is the greatest literary packaging of "violent love". Coupled with the Spanish bullfighting, the Roman bullfighting, and the violent expressions of Westerners, people's participation in violence is even more emphasized. Fighting people against each other is not enough, cattle must also be fought, lions and tigers must also be fought. Even today, the situation has not changed much, but the position of men's fighting has shifted. Strictly speaking, mainstream Western sports cannot be considered competitions, because they are too confrontational, such as the NFL, UFC, WBA, WWE, these sports techniques are put aside, and the physique of the Easterners is the first thing to refuse, can stand Go up and come out lying down. Even in a sport like the NBA, which is very marketable in the East, in terms of physical confrontation, the East and the West are obviously not at the same level. The situation of popular literature and art in the West is probably the same. So many Marvel heroes all point to the conclusion that Westerners have a very strong worship of power, strength is a virtue, and violence is a nature.
Let's look at the situation in the East. We put our minds high, correspondingly, face is also a big event, and in terms of people's livelihood values, superiority in strength is not a good thing. For example, it is said in the "Heavenly Appearance in Linen Clothes" that the sinew man is a typical poor man. With the export of strong Western culture, sinew has become a modern aesthetic. In fact, the image that our ancestors admired is "Maitreya Buddha". Or "Tathagata" that kind of big belly, that is called wealth and honor. The thing called belly by young people, used to be called "Treasury". It may be because they are always hungry, and those who can eat their stomachs must be rich or expensive. A little earlier, Xiang Yu, who is good at fighting, and Liu Bang, who is unkind and unrighteous, may not actually be what they really look like, but the history of the Chinese people will definitely be written as the body loses to the brain, even if it is an unkind and unjust mind. Strong power in the East is not only not an advantage, but a moral evil. The most typical example is the comparison between Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang, a slave with three surnames. Lu Bu is the representative of the strongest fighting force in the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang is the representative of the strongest brain. Needless to say, Zhuge Liang is almost a god-like existence in China, while Lu Bu laughed. Culture is so interesting, if this matter is left in the West, there will be a god-like existence
Lu Bu. Even in the relatively less typical Three Kingdoms, the situation is the same. Guan Yunchang, who has little righteousness, is powerful enough, but these people can't always be the last laughing person in Chinese culture. All in all, power in the East is vulgar, base, let alone violent.
This is why, in my film cognition, pornography and fear are pushed to the position of human nature, and violence is often ignored. I can also imagine that in the West, human nature is pornography and violence. This can also explain why the East is rich in horror movies, forget it, don't be so subtle, in fact, Japan is rich in horror movies, but also rich in pornography, China has neither horror movies nor pornography. The West, not only is not rich, it is not good at making horror films in the strict sense, and it cannot scare the eastern audience. On the contrary, there are a lot of Western pornographic and violent films. It can even be said that Western literature and art are pornography + violence, and any film is.
So the question is, is violence in human nature? Take the "Bible" as an example. Adam had two sons, Cain and Abel, who were very similar to the East and the West. If you are interested, please find it yourself, this problem is not played.
3. The politics of anger;
The film has a very important inspiration, is the release of anger. Easterners may not think this is a very real problem, but if this is a country that upholds human rights and freedoms, the release of anger is really a problem, and a big one. The most sensitive field is politics. As long as human rights are called for, the country must be democratic. This is a sufficient conditional logic. This is why we see Americans always so free speech reasons.
