The freedom of the hero

Bernhard 2022-04-21 09:02:50

The progress of human wisdom benefits from the group life of human beings. In pursuit of absolute freedom, the male protagonist would rather give up a comfortable life and enter the virgin forest to fend for himself. This spirit is admirable.

Freedom is the foundation of American existence. It is said that Americans have the highest degree of freedom in the world, but those freedoms also come at a high price.

In fact, there is no absolute free opponent in the whole world. Any society must be bound by law and morality. Lawlessness is a thug, and a man without conscience and morality is a beast madman. In pursuit of his own freedom, the male protagonist ignores the law. , ignoring morality, depriving his daughter of the right to grow and learn, and destroying the protection of the natural environment by social institutions. In the eyes of society and ordinary people, he is undoubtedly a lunatic. His self-pursuit may be noble and great in his own perspective. But from the perspective of society and human beings, it is undoubtedly a tumor. If everyone in the world is like the male protagonist, abandoning modern society and entering the virgin forest, then human beings will return to primitive society and return to the era of dinosaurs, where the weak eat the weak. Humans will also disappear and become extinct and be replaced by mice to rule the earth.

    What is freedom? I can't answer such a question, and my understanding of the word freedom is very shallow and subjective, but I can try to divide some screen images into different levels. Absolute freedom: A woman who will never stop is depicted in "The End of the World", and there is no place to keep her. From this aspect, she has absolute freedom, but isn't this an absolute predicament? True freedom: There is always a group of people living in RVs in road movies. Their material life is neither embarrassing nor rich; they don't yearn for the big world, just because they have everything they desire. My daughter finally had that freedom. Temporary freedom: The socially refusing father doesn't want to travel the world, he just wants to hide where no one is. He sometimes has freedom, and sometimes his character drives him to give it up. At the end of the film, he walked into the forest without a trace, can he get real freedom this time? no one knows. Numbness of freedom: Whether it is temporary or absolute, they all fight for the right to freedom with all their might. Compared to them, we are just numbly accepting freedom.

    The old wasteland and the mountains are the final destination. Do your best to be useless to poppies and society. (mutual encouragement!)
