memory of going back in time will be surging instantly, the world is still the world, but we are no longer us... The reason why
Ma Shifang
pushed himself to the public is because I have nothing to lose.
I remember that in Lady Gaga's single MV "Marry The Night", she cried and said such a sentence to all the audience.
Knowledge is poisonous, and so is good music.
Pure art has a deadly temptation. To obtain real art, or real public recognition, we need to pay a high price-losing the ultimate goal for which we have been fighting: freedom and individuality.
Even a singer like Lady Gaga, on the road full of hardships to fame, has not been completely lost. The greatest pleasure of becoming a public figure is to cruelly dissect the inner self, and then show it to the public for everyone to cannibalize and consume.
There is little real communication between celebrities and fans. The extravagant hope of constructing a communication network between oneself and the people in the fame and incubation of consumerism is actually a kind of extravagant hope. If this kind of extravagant hope exists, or if this kind of construction is successful, it is equivalent to winning a Mark Six lottery, which is a rare occasion in life.
Too much fame will swallow our specific identities in real life and lose the pleasure and temptation of the unknown before we became famous. But all the pleasure is based on complete ignorance and complete stupidity. So when we find the most important exit through our own efforts and wisdom, and lead to the direction of success, the stupidity and the unknowable disappear, and the pleasure also disappears. From the beginning to the end, it is completely painful.
In "The Wall of Lost", you can completely feel the huge gap that is separated from reality.
This album written by Roger Waters, from childhood memories to growing environment, love stories and the source of the story of music creation, all the analysis of self, in every word and sentence gives rise to a dreamlike psychedelic feeling. Each song is a stage of life, and each stage is the integration of his personal ideology and his unique experience of daily reality.
But is all this a false dream? Like the most magnificent shell, bits and pieces form the "I".
"I" itself is a huge lie.
The world itself is crazy. It is not just the resistance that Roger Waters has always insisted on against the fireworks of war, nor is it just the needle sticks, psychedelics, and madness that Roger Waters has always insisted on, but also his heroism and his dedication. Dead spirit.
Faced with the reality of life itself, everyone has two different choices. One is the charm of choosing to live. You can keep everything you have, but you must do well to accumulate your building as if your heart is constantly being swallowed by a giant eagle. Prometheus generally endures boredom and loneliness for thousands of years; another option is to choose to escape the madness of this earth. You need to sacrifice and give up everything, including the most attractive side of this world, those you cherish, love, and endure. All the torment looks so beautiful, but it also creates our contradictions and the loss of our inner self.
Of course, Roger Waters chose the former.
War: the death of his father
Roger Waters wrote in the lyrics in "The Thin Ice":
If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet.
SLIP OUT of your depth by You and OUT of your Mind
With your Fear Flowing of As you CLAW OUT behind you at The Thin ICE.
If you skate on the thin ice of modern life that
no sound blame countless eyes full of tears will bring Holding you back
When the cracks in the ice appear under your feet, please don’t be surprised
because you have to pay the price of your childishness and madness.
When you seek help from the fragile ice surface, the fear continues from your trembling back. It reveals that
Alan Parker has portrayed this scene as the destructiveness of war and the coming-of-age ceremony of Roger Waters played by Bob Geldof. How much influence did the father's sacrifice have on Roger Waters? Under the combined effect of this chaotic picture and the music that carries all the helplessness and fear of reality, father has become an eternal illusion symbol, a symbol of death.
Roger Waters was lost because of this memory. His father's death was like a huge stone burdened on him, prompting him to sink continuously, and to constantly approach death itself. Then the movie replayed some trivial memories of his father, focusing on magnifying the missing part of his father's love in his life memory.
But is it fatherly love? How big is the influence of paternal love?
In a social system structure where parents nurture and teach their children, parental care and love is one of the most important rules to support the growth and character development of this child. However, the love of parents cannot fully help children establish their own self-control mode. When the lyrics were questioning over and over again, "Daddy, what else did you leave for me?" I wondered, is there another possibility, if my father didn’t sacrifice on the battlefield, but returned with honor, and got a lot of Will the large-scale military industry commend Roger's personal struggle and confusion, as well as his fascination with marginal culture, disappear? In other words, will there be a great Pink Floyd in the more intervening family teachings?
This "if" will not happen, and we will not know the answer to the question.
But I believe that there is a possibility that all external factors are not enough to affect a person’s creative talent and inner life perception. The only thing that can control is the experience in our life, the time spent with our father, and the beautiful emotions. Experience. Maybe Roger will live a happier life.
This story is not an accusation of the lack of paternal love, but a desire and appeal for an unexperienced life experience. Roger imagined another non-existent possibility in the song. There is a father, and his childhood experience will influence another kind of life comprehension and thinking. Perhaps in that park, he is accompanied by his father just like other children. Perhaps he will not interfere too much with his mother's life, and perhaps he will not be bothered by the appearance of his stepfather.
But all these external changes made Roger change only the way he touched the world and the other side of his emotional experience, and he could not prove whether there would be a better life and a more beautiful reality experience.
When people feel disappointed in their current life and everything in the moment, a beautiful metaphysical illusion will be produced in their consciousness. It is precisely because of this illusion that Roger begins to criticize the cruelty of war, abandon the darkness of death, and face A sense of powerlessness of fear, longing for a free sky and peaceful tranquility.
Appearance of the world: B-level education
Constant misunderstanding and misleading are the basic concepts of education. Whoever expects to absorb the elements of personality formation from school education is the biggest fallacy. To a certain extent, the so-called "education" is nothing but restricting, training, and channeling the sharp parts of our innate personality, because these sharp parts have brought a large degree of imbalance to our social structure. But from deep in my heart, there is always a force of fundamental confrontation.
Alan Parker used a very surreal approach to express Roger's expression of educational philosophy. He puts the same mask on all children, uses the same posture and walking method to stipulate their numb consciousness, so as to separate himself from the morbid education system by resisting, smashing, and burning. It seems that young people all over the world are traumatized by education, and people and society are not an integrated whole. It is necessary to make a defiant move to separate the individual "self" from the "wall" of the entire system to an equal extent—independently. This is the ultimate meaning and the ultimate goal of the struggle.
As Roger called over and over again in "Another Brick In The Wall":
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave Kids alone Them!
All in All iT's Another Brick in the Just at the Wall.
All in All you're in the Just Another Brick at the Wall.
we do not need (this useless) education
we do not need (this bad) idea of imprisonment
Do the classroom (student teacher) dark sarcasm
teachers, not to interfere with the children
to feed! teachers! Don't worry about the children!
After all, it was just another brick in the wall
after all, you're just another brick in the wall
, but the essence of rock and roll is against itself or against the final result obtained after the order - a better society ? From Alan Parker's lens and picture language, as well as Roger's genius melody, I get the feeling that resistance itself may be more important than the result obtained.
All students smash the existing state, smash the things in progress, in order not to become a brick on the wall, so they strive to find the best place for the spirit. In order to avoid a blindly repetitive and automatic life and learning state, in the transmission of singing in unison, it seems that a great degree of pleasure and satisfaction have been found in the process of resistance, but beyond the sensibility of rock and roll, we use rationality Think about it. Is this kind of resistance another breeding and temptation for totalitarianism?
The real essence of resistance is not to create a better, democratic and free society. The essence of resistance is to break the balance with the established society and extreme tolerance of reality. Only by tearing apart seemingly harmonious lies can it be revealed. truth.
Alan Parker is certainly not a one-sided director, and he will never praise resistance through the screen. He only used records to state facts. A group of children resisted the teacher, resisted the education system, resisted everything normal. These are nothing but traumas inside Roger. They laughed happily in the violence, and behind the burning of books is the climax of carnival. But in the end, it returns to a lonely reality scene.
If education is a mass murder, (of course Alan didn't mean it), the harmonious existence of students is what most people hope for.
Broken: The leftovers behind the family and the abandoned
Roger later only had a helpless mother and a broken family.
This nurtures the dark nature of Roger approaching the dusk, he becomes lonely, sad, indifferent, violent, self-abuse. Even nearly swallowed in his own sentimentality. He became a slave of his own emotions in his ignorance. Roger, immersed in pain, was looking for his own way out.
He is looking for a way out in the family and a way out in love, so he tries to find the elements that can truly allow freedom to come in his mother and lover. So there will be lyrics like this:
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooooo. Mother, Should the I Build at The Wall?
mother, Should the I RUN for President is?
mother, Should the I Trust at The Government?
mother, by will they PUT Me in at The firing Line?
Oooooh the AAAH. Is is IT the Just A Waste of Time?
mom, you said they would not give me a stink face to see
mom, you said they would not like me this song
mom, you said they would not come to me trouble
my mother, ah, I do not want to build a wall (separating them)
mom, I want to go campaign monitor
Mommy, I do not want to believe the government's nonsense
mom sent me they will not put the front line
mother ah, life is not just a nothingness
This is a kind of self-defeating danger, in the process of seeking the way of redemption in love and family affection. Because of vain, Roger was skeptical about everything and had radical desperate thoughts about the whole world. The indifferent face of Bob Geldof in the movie seems to be going through a hardship. The irresistible indifference to everything around him. And this indifference is superimposed on the huge sense of alienation he felt in his mother and in the family. Mother has an affair, just like his wife later had an affair, abandonment in another sense. A kind of Oedipus-like jealousy and unforgettable emotions have turned maternal love into a cruel color.
Gradually, that wall has been slowly built in the childhood accompanied by my mother, like a terrorism isolation. Behind this wall, mother's whispering has become a fear and a nightmare. It was like a deep scar imprinted in the depths of Roger's memory, which became Roger's deepest dark essence. Implied in the comics in the movie and all of Pink Floyd's music creation.
The bright side seen through the essence of dark thoughts will show greater and more characteristic of life's longing. Perhaps this was the essential reason why he chose love and marriage later.
Lust: The poison of love and the grave of marriage.
Love comes like a god of redemption of a boring life. Some people are happy, some are hesitant, some are fearful, and some are indifferent. But Roger, like most people, feels that something in his life that seems unattainable by others, in the face of the heat of love, in the rich dimensions of sexual relations, has become ruined-he has fallen in love with life. The most important woman is also the woman who brought a huge turn in his life.
In a love game, when you start to take it seriously, your starting point has already failed. After all, not so many people are willing to spend the second half of their lives with the same person, the only person. This is a stupid and particularly terrifying thing, especially for the noble yearning for freedom like Roger, and the complete resistance to traditional rules.
So what is the nature of this encounter and this love in "The Lost Wall"?
It was Roger who completely misunderstood this woman at first.
When Roger first saw the curly-haired, quiet-eyed woman in front of him, he was full of maternal worship. The special grace exuded by this motherhood makes Roger, who is fragile, sensitive and lonely, feel like a wounded cat, longing for care. This is due to the lack of a dimension of maternal love. For the woman in front of him, his tough bones and fierce minions all converged, hiding behind the huge warm sexual love.
That's why there are these sentences:
Mother, do you think she's good enough - for me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous - to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooooh aaah. Mother, will she break my heart?
mom, you said I was not good enough for her
mom, you said she was not a femme fatale
mother she would never get your hands away from your son's
mother, ah, she would not break my heart
of course, this The most primitive illusion led to the tragedy of the breakdown of the marriage. What Roger did not understand was that complete freedom and independence were not allowed in a marriage relationship. For her, this is also invisible torture and suffering. So she will look for a state of presence in other men, a feeling of being loved.
Alan Parker used the process of peace between two flowers to imply the symbolic meaning of sex. The mutual attraction between opposite sexes, the most primitive impulse comes from sexual impulse. And this kind of impulse often arises in the process of unconscious play, and finally forms a confrontation. The innate superiority of women in the body can create a pure state of detachment. She can put her body on you, but she can quickly empathize in her mind. This is the most fascist absent state.
Leave the lights on? Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east? Contract diseases?
Bury bones? Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink? Go to shrinks?
Give up meat? Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs? Race rats?
Fill the attic with Cash?
Bury Treasure? Store up Leisure?
But Never the Relax AT All with Our Backs to at the Wall.
whether or not to preserve the other civilizations or crushing them
not to open up the route to the east, spreading whooping cough and smallpox
not to destroy history, to Do not separate the separation
or not to call a few prostitutes
or not drinking to forget, not to find a psychiatrist
now we eat also disturbed sleep
or not to recruit a few thugs
training them to become lackeys
would want attic full of banknotes
accumulate wealth but leisure forget
our back against the wall, we never rest
In "What Shall We Do Now", Roger showed utter sadness and huge nothingness. This is poisoned by love and marriage. In the failed emotional confrontation, all the objects, all thoughts, lifestyles, and all personal emotions embodied in Roger's words and sentences gradually began to fade, beginning to strengthen his sense of loneliness and alienation.
When these emotional frustrations are manifested through the use of alcohol to dissipate sorrow, excessive indulgence, and scaleless resistance, those fading memories begin to become the past, despite how he wants to intervene in this degradation process with the help of his own strength, He can't change anything.
All these acts of self-intervention that began to degenerate and lost have gradually become an important catalyst for his sinking...
Rotting corpse: The humblest demise
began in "Young Lust", and Roger was talking about In the despair of marriage and love, I found a way to return. He hopes to establish totalitarianism in the future through sinking and depravity, complete contempt for women, the ultimate worship of death, and the ultimate fascination with violent forces, trying to push himself out and become a spiritual belief.
This proposition covers the second half of "The Lost Wall" as a whole. Roger seemed to be able to see a sign in the lyrics-there was no meaning, everything was meaningless.
What is truth in a broken life? Exhausting all the passion to find the truth about a relationship will only mess up the current life state. When Bob Geldof shed tears while sitting in the sofa chair, he immediately decided to separate from all past history and decided to reopen his own new way to change all traditions and change the established cognition. So when the temptation to be a girl again unfolded, he showed complete numbness and nausea.
Are women still attractive to him? Is there still a hot temperature in the emotions between people? Including the creation of music and art itself, what is the ultimate meaning? The answers to all this are in the confusion of thought.
Fragmentation is the best way to escape.
In response to the two songs "Goodbye Cruel World" and "Is There Anybody Out There?", Alan Parker killed Bob Geldof after the two songs ended. These stories, which left a huge hole in life, fermented and festered in Roger's body, and began to form hallucinations. Or it’s a difficult and futile game, even though various methods have been tried, even though Roger repeats "Is there anybody out there?" in the saddest and most compassionate voice, but death is like a must to complete Task. He didn't want to disappear into this absurd version of life and nothingness. Choosing to cut the artery is a necessary and indispensable outcome. Only when dimensional death can lead oneself to a new future can there be a brand new direction.
Died once. What a painful experience.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I've got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe. When I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home.
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots.
I desire to fly
, but I can to where?
And baby, when I picked up the phone
still no answer
I have a pair of hiking boots
but no place
when the movie reaches the "Nobody Home" and treated as in unhindered deserted when mixed with all the chaos of this era, I cried completely. What kind of beauty is there in this hodgepodge world worth remembering?
When the individual enters a state of absurdity;
When emotion enters a state of disappearance without a trace;
when the entire society enters a state of menopause-like madness;
all that remains is the plan of survival. How to live? This is the most real human instinct, and no one can resist.
Bob Geldof struggles wildly in the movie, a mental hospital with a unique symbolic nature, a war scene with scars deep in his heart, and a love experience like a deadly poison, all staged one by one. At the same time, Bob Geldof gradually lay faint in the chair, lost consciousness and lost his existence. He wants to say goodbye to the chaotic world in this terrible era. Isn't this a blessing?
In this plot arrangement, Alan Parker specifically implanted a torture about the ultimate meaning of life. He arranged for the mouse to be about to die all the time, and under the care of the young Roger, he wanted to save his life, but in the end it didn't help. So the child dismembered the mouse's corpse and threw it into the river, just as a soldier in the war regarded this corpse as a pile of rubbish, he also treated a corpse as rubbish. The absolute meaninglessness of life is hidden behind this action. It was a huge gloomy human despair.
Perhaps from a young age, Bob Geldof's life was not allowed to intervene and interfere with these fragmentary memories. On the contrary, when all memories are linked together, they become the characteristics of the specific arrangement of fate. He strives to change, and all the behaviors of seeking to break free through resistance are the self-consciousness of the general life thoughts in this desperate twilight.
This kind of desperate consciousness is enough to sentence the lingering Bob Geldof to death.
But he did not die, and the process of his death was intervened.
The most normal state to live is to continuously revolutionize cognition, and it is necessary to constantly cover up the real part with lies and masks. This is a painful but most effective way of living. Bob Geldof found it, and went through a painful, dying, regressive metamorphosis. He became a wise life person, a kind of supreme leader who relied on a mask to gain power, and had a big dream of leading an empire. He wants to achieve his own revenge through the hammer, through Nazism, through the government's high-pressure policy, to fulfill his hatred.
In this dimension, freedom, culture, art, and equality between people are all nonsense. If you don't rely on strong disguise and armed struggle to win the right to survive, that kind of weak life state can't be directly seen by Bob Geldof after experiencing all the pain.
But is this advocating the Nazis?
of course not.
This is just another extreme ideology, it may be anarchism, it may be armed confrontation, or it may be Nazis.
Good Morning, Worm your Honor.

Good morning, Dear insects adults

There is a Kafka-style absurdity and nihilism in "The Trial". A giant worm emperor, an innocent guilty man is on trial. Just like the incompetence of the bureaucratic system that Kafka has always promoted in his works, and the complete collapse of social ethical mechanisms.
After receiving Roger's affirmation of a certain positive force of the bureaucracy, if all nihilism is in front of the bureaucracy, it will always be forced to produce an effective behavior. This sense of value is enough to prove the value of militarized management.
The whole world is gradually losing its truth and lacking faith. The same is true for every individual, so we will return a higher level of trust to those who are stronger, brave, and good at speaking than us. But a politics or class composed of people with the same beliefs cannot fully bring truth.
Our trust in this kind only stems from a huge psychological void.
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother ,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
The court already is indisputable evidence
the jury sentenced without having adjourned
the trial I have done all these years I have never heard of
such a person deserve
you let them suffer the way
- your wife and mother -
I eager to clarify
because, my friends, you have a deep fear of revealing you
my judgment you exposure in front of the public
facing public faith, and believe that the person is a fortunate or unfortunate that only he can clear. He even knows better that his audience, his fans are in Roger’s body to find some extraordinary beliefs and thoughts grafting, this kind of love and belief is not true love and belief, but for the false outside. Endless consumption in appearance. They will always be their own masters, and no one cares how much pain and rebirth an idol bears.
As the last song of "The Wall" "Outside The Wall" points out, people are always separated by this thick wall,
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Fall and fixed to the stagger s Some, the After All IT's not the Easy
Banging your Heart Against some MAD Bugger's Wall.
All a person or a pair of lonely people
who you love with people
outside the wall walked
some people to unite
some of the people gathered in groups
compassion of people and artists
to defend their bottom line
when they put them all to you
some of them staggering fall, after all, is not easy
when faced with a wall of those crazy, ask yourself.
