I just finished watching "Good Views", and my mood was a little ups and downs. In terms of technology, it is hard to say how maverick, and the content always makes people smell the taste of "Steel Fist". But within 10 minutes, it was established that this is a good film, and people chase it down. This is the tension of the American dream. A 42-year-old biology teacher, obese, lazy, but accidentally turned out to raise 60 million yuan to keep the children's extracurricular tutoring classes. So he started playing MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Until UFC...
You should catch the dream. Everyone has a dream, but on the way of growth, most people are getting farther and farther away from their dreams. The best director I've seen to interpret the disillusionment of dreams is Gu Changwei. A "Peacock" can make me completely desperate for life. Some people say that dreams are like bubbles blown by children. They exist and are used to make people pierce. But the American dream is not. Life is for pursuing. Pursuing a better life and more meaningful things in your mind. What can be the result? Not long ago, I saw an article saying: “The old lady said: When you don’t travel, don’t take risks, don’t talk about a relationship, don’t try a life you haven’t tried, just hang on QQ and scan Weibo every day, Go shopping on Taobao and do what I can do when I am 80...you need to be youthful and woolen." The story protagonist Scott is 42 years old and obese. He only learned wrestling for 3 weeks 20 years ago. He will go. What do you think is the odds of winning in a mixed martial arts competition? And what is the odds of winning? This is something he thinks is meaningful, just like the last sentence of the book "The Kite Chaser": I chase...
You maybe lose ,but, whatever? In the first game, Skye jumped into the ring in the first game, but in the first move, he stopped and shoved. Before he reached the opponent, he was lifted by his knee and hit the corner of his eye, unconscious. Somewhat funny, but also a little sad. How can the lottery to realize your dreams be bought so easily by you? The beginning is already a turning point for many people. There are many people who have the courage to pursue dreams, but few have perseverance. Sometimes we are desperate when we encounter setbacks, but in fact it is just the beginning. What about failure? It's just the beginning. I know that the director’s light-comedy approach in this period may be a bit out of reality. For many people in life, they have failed many times, the years have passed, their lives have passed halfway, and all previous achievements have been abandoned. It cannot be said to be a simple "one trick" problem. . The point is that the director wants to tell us that failure is inevitable. This kind of necessity is sometimes ridiculous. Why not face it humorously? Attitude is sometimes important.
The most important is not win but meaning. Skate's original intention was to enter the UFC, because as long as he enters the UFC, even if he loses the game, he will have a prize of 10,000. However, standing on the UFC ring, he saw the look of his lover’s expectation, the firm gaze of his close friend, the passionate shout of students, and the thunderous cheers of the audience. At that moment, he changed his attention, “If you win a prize of 50,000, Then why not win?” At the most critical moment, the reality always seemed so sharp and cruel. The opponents beat him miserably in the first two games. During the break, his best friend said to him, “You have done it. Look at that, look at the kids, Scott, you motivated them, this is the teacher’s responsibility, isn’t it? You can give up now, we did everything you did, you know Morrie was on the phone yesterday Is there anything wrong with me? You are my hero. "Who said that winning is success? Meaning is what we are most proud of. On the road of life, do what we want to do, and if we have been serious, worked hard, and worked hard, we will have meaning. Why care about the result? Is the result really that important? We pay too much attention to the final result and often overlook the meaning of fighting along the way. The goal of life is not success. People who are successful on the surface are not necessarily happy. A meaningful life, even if it is small, is still the champion of the self-challenge. , Because I have experienced it, it seems to be very precious. Accompanied by love and friendship, with supporters along the way, life has long been without regrets, has long been successful, has long been meaningful, this is the American dream, simple and firm, small and glorious.
In writing this article, I don't want to talk about the soft power of American culture or the superiority of capitalism. I just want to explain why the vulgar plot is still deeply moving. Because it really touches the soul, it inspires people's belief and power to pursue their dreams. A movie can be called a good movie if it is not deep in thought and technically not gorgeous, but it is real and touching. A simple American dream has guided many people and guided many excellent film and television dramas. Then this dream can be called immortal.
