"BLOW UP" Philosophical Video——Group Idealism

Amparo 2022-04-23 07:02:33

Just a few words: just chatting casually, I don’t want to do movie reviews, I didn’t study it carefully. The words are made up by me, and they must be related to the context. Communicate with me if you have an idea.

Text (very small, can be read in a minute):

Philosophical image, I thought of the word, and I don't know if the word exists or not. Visualizing philosophical thinking is probably what I want to express. Philosophy is written as a philosophy book, and a video is a philosophy movie. Certainly not a genre film. What philosophy? Mindfulness or materialism? I think it's idealistic philosophy. When I was playing on my mobile phone, the teacher of the thinking class in college suddenly called me to answer a question: what is the difference between essence and definition. My answer: Essence precedes definition, definition is human, it may be wrong, and of course no one knows what essence is. In high school, the teacher said that idealism was not correct, but I never agreed with it, and I couldn't understand it. My knowledge of the world comes from sensations, and these sensations make up experience, my knowledge of the world. When I can't feel it, I automatically think it doesn't exist. But I will not deny the feelings of others, that is, the experience of predecessors. But, is this a cognition of the nature of the world? To define a thing, one person says it doesn't matter, it needs to be recognized by many people.

And when people's senses "completely" grasp this thing and make people believe it, and more people believe it, it defines it.

So can I interpret this as a phenomenon similar to the "group hallucination"?

A "definition" within a certain group, from this level, knowlism is the "idealism" of the entire group of human beings.

Let’s take an example to illustrate: Quzhou duck head, Zhejiang people think it is spicy, but Hunan people think it is not spicy. This is group idealism. I don't know if this word exists or not. If there is any similarity, please correct me.

Zooming from the individual to the group, what we think is the truth does not seem to be the case.

This is a bit of a movie.

Of course, this is my own experience, I don't define it, I don't seek to coincide with anyone, I just like the joy of thinking.

The male protagonist said that he saw the murder.

The two asked the male protagonist, what did you see? All the male protagonists replied: "Nothing."

(I can't remember the details of this line, but that's probably what it means.)

There is a strong sense of conflict.

The scene of playing tennis at the end highlights the theme of the film. When he ran to pick up the ball and threw it back to the court without the ball and racket, he heard the sound of tennis being played.

I just found an "earlier" free movie on station B. I'm very interested because I'm studying photography recently, and the director's name is Michelangelo.

Only with hindsight did I realize that it was directed by Antonioni, because there was a documentary about him filming in China in the cloud disk before, so the name was familiar.

I have never seen his movies, but I already think he is a director. In my eyes, making interesting movies is called a director.

This movie is very interesting.
