The essence of genre films is to solve life anxiety-The anxiety of western films is isolation and helplessness, the pressure of nature, and the disorder of society is reflected in small towns in the west; Or political stance will hurt love; Horror films are the fear of paganism, The perverted murderer is a thinker under the guise of mental illness; The fear of detective films is not individual villains, but the truth that society has generally been corrupted, and the entire society is underworld It is out of touch with the order; what gangster films fear is technology, because it is the former human relations that allowed the establishment of gangster societies, but technology can make people particle and disintegrate the former human relations; Disaster films fear the welfare of survival and human beings The demise of culture. Xu Haofeng, who is obsessed with martial arts, proposed a martial arts movie. On the face of breaking the army, it seems that technology is the fear, but in fact, if we go deeper, technology is only a superficial phenomenon. The excitement of the film is the same as that of the women's volleyball team winning the championship in the 1980s. It is the most direct racial excitement. Therefore, each type of film should have its own knowledge system. The things of this system are the things that are looked back at in the historical view, The feared things, if these styles disappear, Then fear first Can't stand, no depth. Solving anxiety is diluted by establishing values - the anxiety of loneliness in western films, what is established is the value of being alone, the original feeling of isolation and helplessness has become the pride of being out of the crowd, but loneliness has become charm. By the same token, the opposite of each genre film's fear should also have an explanation that dilutes its values. However, the interpretation of values is to dilute but not solve the problem directly and fundamentally. Certainly not to indulge in the idea that the movie is a dream factory, pretending to uproot the problem. You can't lie to me that if Xiaomi adds a rifle, can really defeat aircraft and tanks. So dilution is a compromise. He gave an example, The ending of western films is generally not a happy reunion. A happy reunion is equivalent to going directly to the opposite of loneliness. Instead, the male protagonist will be arranged to leave the female protagonist and walk alone into the wilderness. So it is said that I stand on another level, recognize this loneliness, and recognize this kind of excellence. Xu Guan is called "resignation", but I understand that since it is a value, it is complicated. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Come to see this old anxiety.
