I watched two films today, "Square" and "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Fearing and Fall in Love with Bombs". According to the policy I just made myself and it is not clear how long it will be implemented, the film review should be written with two randomly selected films. , Live to write. Come on then.
It was originally envisaged that contemporary works of art appearing in movies should be more symbolic, and we can often see that other art forms appearing in any movie are not so "profound", because usually they only serve the film. It is a symbolic element of its own, and their appearance, just click on the meaning they want to express or represent, and in "Square", perhaps because the director himself is an artist, but also because of the special environment represented by the protagonist of the film. , so that the works of art appearing in this film are not only "symbolic props" of the film, but genuine "art".
The film "Square" reveals the embarrassment of modernity that permeates the whole film, and shows the audience in front of the audience that political correctness is fully opposed to various extreme situations, creating a serious absurdity. The reason why it is called serious absurdity is because when we face the current situation it shows, even if we reflect, the sentence pattern of this reflection is probably like the male protagonist shooting an apology video, classifying this embarrassing specific situation as an independent event. , and the real culprit should directly ask the so-called "structural" problems that we cannot clearly face and can never be fully held accountable for. The phenomenon is absurd. There are professional academic discussions on the stage, and swear words are shouted in the audience. Everyone must exercise restraint, understand and tolerate this, and pretend not to see this scene; the reason is serious, because the people in the audience are rational. It is not normal, it is a disabled person, and should bless all reasonable rights, and everyone here is familiar with this politically correct view, and in such a rational and noble occasion, this is the most non-absurd and civilized way. Therefore, when civilized rationality is placed in an extremely abnormal context, all civilized people are either driven away by this absurdity, or they bow their heads in silence in trembling confusion, praying for this absurdity to end as soon as possible. When the end, and escalating to threaten itself, civilized reason will inevitably make the only choice, "kill him", just like when the gorilla performance artist was subdued by the angry crowd, the civilized crowd shouted "kill him" one after another. generally.
When Kubrick saw the novel "Red Alert", he must have seen the end of the crazy rationality implied in it. Kubrick is him because he is a person who "does big things" and "makes blockbusters". Even in the circle of directors, he must focus on the bigger picture. If the interest in crazy rationality only leads to the retreat of modern civilization or the dissolution of certain meanings, this is not what he wants to shoot. If you want to shoot, you have to shoot to the end, crazy, you have to be crazy to the extreme, the inevitable result of crazy rationality is to shout "kill him", then simply kill this world, kill all mankind, that's the only way, maybe Only then can the truth explained in this film be engraved in people's hearts as long as possible, and the meaning can be more profound. Reason breeds science, science creates technology, technology is trapped in morality, and all it takes is science and rationality to defend the behavior of dissolving morality, and everything will be solved, just like the infamous Snowden incident, like the "Square" male protagonist. After knowing that the little girl was bombed, although he was extremely disgusted in his heart, in order to maintain the correctness of the results, that is, the correctness of himself, he used a rational point of view in front of the board to protect the right of artistic expression. In the film, he did not succeed, but In reality, this kind of success can be found everywhere. This is the dissolution of morality.
Under the blessing of pure rationality, Tourette's patients can trample on the rights that normal people should have. Domestic garbage has a unique right of expression after deliberate observation and selection of venues. Of course, in order to maintain national security, the possession and increase of nuclear weapons Quantity has also become inevitable, and when the threat gradually escalates out of control, the counterattack and defense methods will inevitably escalate out of control, and crazy rationality will eliminate all life, not to mention the mere "morality"?
The work that the director and chief curator of the museum vigorously promotes - Square, emphasizes the awakening and reconstruction of morality and order, and also his appeal to the lack of the current world ethical order as a typical middle class in the Western world. Square rules and tangible rationality further clarify morality and responsibilities, and use the rationality that originally caused the world to be in a bad state to further transform the world. This may be one of the reasons why the Trump administration is incompatible with the upper and middle classes in the West, but represents the lower class. , because Trump is not politically correct, he responded to the trend of anti-political correctness and stood on the top of the wave, but he still said "build a wall" and still tried his best to shape a "building a wall" in the same way as the class he opposed. square". In modern society, the representative of civilization, rationality and science, the bricks for building walls are ideology, and the representatives of primitive savage sensibility, the bricks for building walls are the bricks themselves. And when all the bricks cannot be stopped, defended, dispelled, and people panic, the only brick is the uncontrollable right hand of Dr. Strangelove-ARM
