boy, you're not smarter than your grandpa

Like me, many people often think about the question, whether the wisdom of human beings has been constantly surpassing and improving, are we more intelligent than our ancestors 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, is it because we know that the earth is round, we Smarter than Newton. Who was more powerful between Wu Qingyuan and Lee Changho in their heyday?

In the end, this film told me that human wisdom is always the same. If you are placed as a strategist anywhere in the Three Kingdoms, you have to be played to death by others.

It seems that this topic is far from the topic of this film, but it is not. After watching the film, many people find it boring or unattractive. I think the main problem is the wrong attitude. To be honest, this film is so famous that I Of course, before I watched it, I thought it might be hard to bear the fame, but this film gave me more than one surprise: the boldness of the subject matter (relative to the social background at the time); the director's attempt at sound film; The natural balance of montage; the smooth flow of the three-line narrative, the meticulousness, the ingenious use of the screen design and the lens; the wonderful performance of the group portrait acting; especially the added trial link at the end, many people think it is unnecessary, in fact, I think this is the foundation for layers The final climax, the core of the play...

Imagine 78 years ago, if this was a film made by your grandfather's father, how would you feel as a director now? Boy, go home and learn from your father, there is a lot to learn, that's all. You can't go beyond that. Almost all of Hollywood's later shooting skills and techniques have been handily reflected and explored in this film. What else can be said?

If it is purely a matter of skill, it is both great and not comprehensive, and it also explores social issues and leaves the audience and the world with questions, which is also the advance of the film. The attitude of criminal suspects is also of practical significance today (especially in China, which has no concept of human rights and catches thieves and beats them to death), and also in 100 years from now?

As for the epoch-making significance of this film, how good the director is, and how great the expressionism is, I don't think it matters. That's a question for professionals to explore, and they only care about that.

This film made me realize a problem, no matter what era, the problems encountered by human society, the way of dealing with problems, wisdom and inferiority are roughly the same, whether it is grandfather or grandson, for example, there are always many people standing in front of each era. People's experience and wisdom, the achievements of knowledge, gossip. It's okay, your grandpa will forgive you.
