play impresses me.
The only thing I've ever done in my life that's worthy of boasting that it can barely be called an extreme sport is bungee jumping. That was a heroic act made after gritting his teeth and stomping his feet (just about to write a suicide note to explain the aftermath) after a long-lasting ideological struggle.
But looking at the protagonists in these two films, it seems that they take adventure as a meal and death as a game. This kind of fearless bourgeois life-defying spirit is truly astonishing.
"This is my way, let me finish it", "Don't take the fact that you meet an opponent in your life as a curse, it may be a blessing." These powerful lines made me suddenly realize that the moving part of extreme sports is In addition to daring to do things that ordinary people dare not do, and being able to do things that ordinary people cannot do, there is another point: letting go of gains and losses, and contempt for a sense of security.
A person who is too utilitarian and has a strong sense of security will definitely not be able to play extreme sports, even if he is talented and strong. The limit is not only the skill, but also the heartbeat. Only by letting go of the gains and losses to a certain extent and the sense of security aside, can you risk yourself.
Of course, it is too hasty to conclude this with these two films. Especially in "Extremely Fast and Merry", the two opponents actually crushed other trade-offs with their desire to win the championship. So when James finally won the championship, he quickly gave up the sport. Not like the "Extreme Thieves", who challenged to the end.
In this regard, the characters in "The Thief" are purer and closer to the Sisyphus in Greek mythology, like a donkey pulling a mill, turning the enclosure and pushing boulders up the mountain, endlessly.
The meaning of Sisyphus is also different. Zui Aijun’s personal view is that
from a philosophical point of view, when a boulder rolls down, it returns to zero, pushes it up again, and finally returns to zero again. This process probably symbolizes the fate of mankind. A generation comes, a generation goes, the earth is forever, the sun still rises. Everything goes back to the root, the root is called tranquility, and the return to life is called constant.
From a physical point of view, if the boulder does not roll down, Sisyphus is doing work. Pushing up is the conversion of kinetic energy into potential energy, and rolling down is the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. Eternal movement, there is no such thing as success or failure.
From the point of view of sophistry, what if the boulder stops at the top of the mountain and does not roll down? On the top of the mountain are boulders, not humans. What if the boulder rolled down? It is man who pushes the stone up the mountain, not the stone itself.
Both films depict the extreme challenges of foreigners. In this regard, it is estimated that Chinese people have been left behind for more than two streets. Chinese traditional culture is deeply rooted in the mean, the limit? go away.
The only Chinese culture that has such a limitless meaning exists in the poetry of Li Bai and other unrestrained poets -
I am a madman in Chu, and Feng Ge laughs at Confucius.
Looking up to the sky and laughing and going out, I am a Penghao people.
The Son of Heaven did not get on the boat when he called, and claimed that his minister was an immortal in wine.
Killing a person in ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles. When the matter is over, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are deeply hidden.
But Li Bai also has things he dare not do!
"There is no scene in front of me, Cui Hao wrote poems on it." After reading other people's good poems, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to write poems. Extreme athletes don't have so many scruples. Although you lead the way, the choice is mine, so, "this is my way, let me finish it".
Also, "Don't dare to speak aloud, you will be afraid of shocking people in the sky." The extreme sports people don't want to block my way, no matter what kind of ghosts in heaven and underground, undersea dragon king and mountain immortal! See God kill God, see Buddha kill Buddha. Punish me for pushing stones? I will never be lazy!
What a man!
