Science Fiction and Shattered Thoughts

Watching Woody Allen's new movie at home over the weekend, back to the previous style, broken thoughts, a little old man's broken thoughts. previousWhen I watched it, I didn't guess it was Woody's movie. I didn't expect this shrinking old man with a lot of nonsense to be able to hold such a wonderful movie. Power, murder, money, sex, lies... all are eye-catching Things, Scarlet Johansson is extremely enchanting in it, showing his devilish figure to the market, no wonder the male protagonist in it is so uncontrollable, when desire overcomes reason, he has no scruples. In fact, the entire MatchPoint is wandering back and forth between desire and reason. When desire is at its peak, emotions are overwhelming, and when reason is at its peak, career prospects are the first thing to consider. Before the hero was recruited into a wealthy family, he had been reading Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment". In the book, the impoverished and extremely sensitive Roga killed people with the idea of ​​robbing the rich and helping the poor, but he never stopped. troubled by his own conscience. I don't know if this kind of plot setting has any hints, because the male protagonist did kill people in the end, but it was for his own selfish desires. The temporary desire was satisfied, but the branches that spread out after the desire made him very annoying. . Schopenhauer said that life is a mass of desires. When desires are satisfied, they are boring, and when desires are not satisfied, they are painful. I'm afraid this matchpoint can't be better summed up in this sentence.

Going back to Scoop, to be honest, I still like to see Woody like this. I can't stop talking about it, but there is always a lot of wonderful words in the talk that make you stunned. This time he found Scarlet again. If she was placed in China, she would definitely be given a title like a certain girl. Chinese people just like to use names and titles. At the request of my grandmother, my family subscribed to the Jiefang Daily. In my opinion, this newspaper is no different from the big-character posters during the Cultural Revolution. The whole article is full of big slogans and slogans. By the way, this Woody Allen movie has nothing to do with the big-character posters, in fact, his movies are the opposite of them. Seeing how lighthearted and witty he made death in Scoop, he really realized that a sense of humor was his life's work. Socrates said that life without reflection is meaningless. I think this sentence to Woody should be, life without a sense of humor is meaningless. The movie itself doesn't really have much to say. The wonderful thing is all about the language in it. Now that I want to watch a WoodyAllen movie on a gloomy day, being amused by the language in it is a very happy thing. .

Also watched Tim Burton's, I don't watch many of his movies, but I like a few of the ones I've seen, like,,, in addition to his dark and weird imagination, another important factor is JohnnyDeep and HelenaBonhamCarter, I like them because they are Hollywood anomalies. Always wondered why David Finch'sDon't find JohnnyDeep to work with Edward Norton, in my opinion he wants to make the film very dark, because he has HelenaBonhamCarter but not JohnnyDeep! ! In terms of black temperament, JohnnyDeep is undoubtedly much darker than BradPitt. Maybe considering the box office, how many women can be attracted by playing the BradPitt card, known as one of the sexiest men in the world, no matter what movie he is watching. (At least when my friend and I went to the cinema, she was in that mindset, but we didn't know what movie we were watching. She was too excited to see BradPitt, and I forgot to wear it that day Glasses can't see anything clearly.)

When I watched the chocolate factory, I kept thinking, why can't China make such imaginative films, where is the golden age of our imagination? In fact, Comrade Wang Xiaobo has also considered this question. He wrote in an article, "I asked a director friend why there are no sci-fi films in China, and they became popular. Now I put myself in his shoes and think for him: Suppose I want to make a film Science fiction movies, without scientific knowledge, I can go to the university to attend lectures. Without imagination, I can drink a couple of taels and then sit with the wall. As the saying goes, cow dung falls in the field, and the sun shines for three days, and then It will be fermented and bubbling. I drink two or two every day, sit for three hours, and year after year, I can't believe that I can't come up with anything - isn't the best sci-fi book also created by people? After that, I have a good book and investors are willing to pay. As for actors, it is very easy to let them experience life in universities and scientific research units. After this step, the problem arises: suppose I want to make a movie like "Jurassic Park". How can I tell the above? What is the realistic meaning of my film? Where is the positive meaning? Why do I want to make such a weird movie? The main question is: How does my film fit in with the current situation? I can't answer any of these questions, but I can't answer them and I can't. When I think about it, the conclusion comes out: I shouldn't have asked myself this question in the first place. Trouble." Comrade Xiaobo wrote very witty, helpless but not too disappointing. In fact, since we were young, we had no experience in imaginative education, nor did our teachers encourage our parents to do so. Our imagination is nothing more than making use of it in composition class to make up a story. For example, the teacher called to write good people and good deeds. I have never done it and I don’t plan to do it, but this is an essay that has to be handed in after class. Imagination is not necessary for our life, it is purely the icing on the cake, and there are not many people who are willing to do this icing on the cake.
