But just as it is difficult for popular culture to completely destroy the deep-rooted discourse foundation in any case, every moment we are in is a loose aggregation of different age groups; therefore, the "spirit of the times" is more a kind of aggregation, it is a kind of Survival is a kind of new life; it is a pile of forgotten old papers, and it is an unpredictable and unpredictable prediction. There are always people called "Masters" who try to draw conclusions about the complicated and complicated words, a system that justifies itself, but is difficult to attract everyone, and is easily regarded as a deception. The system is like a splendid high-rise building. When there is no sense of participation, the sublime brings the fear of staying away.
Therefore, it is particularly noteworthy that what The Young Pope discloses is an axiological synthesis that can be called "wisdom", not just "wisdom" or even "compromise", which is a reflection of the contemporary "spirit of the times". The construction attempt: This kind of attempt is proudly built in the commercial mass television system, in fact, it is more uncompromising than the uncompromising "purification": I will use your system, personally in your system Complete the shock in this way, thereby ironing the absurdity of this system.
The Young Pope is not experiential, personal, or secular. The protagonist Pope Lenny is really a saint, he is the incarnation of God. He said that people who truly believe in God do not believe in God at all. Paradox? No, because God cannot be embodied, God must be a constructed conceptual existence, and any image that can be imagined in human thinking should only be some kind of division of God; therefore, here, Lenny is a kind of Split, when there is no more perfect and worthy of staring image, he is God: the process of understanding him is a kind of suspension, the onlooker is concerned with the existence of God as an entity, and Lenny always expects God as A rationality of spirit and value, not a vulgar entity of ideas.
Conflicts can easily arise: from the outside, the modernist Vatican bureaucrats are older, slow and stubborn, but open-minded on many issues; the young pope is eccentric and modern, drinking Diet Cherry Coke. , but a stubborn conservative trying to revive the mystical tradition; because in fact, the bureaucracy is precisely the modern thinking that substantiates God as a power structure, and the Pope just represents the metaphysical understanding that pushes God into the distance ancient primitive thinking. The representative of the Pope is some kind of "postmodernity" that is only used as "joke" in many contemporary works of art. This "postmodernity" opposes only rules and differentiation, so it is both the past and the future; But bureaucrats represent only "now". The "now" will of course be superior to the original at some point; but "postmodernity" contains not only the original, but also the future.
Pope Lenny stands detached on both sides of time, while all other beings, in the present of time, fear the past and the future: the only thing that can bring Lenny back to the "now" is his physical existence, his Origin and Birth: So, Diane Keaton's Mammy says, Lenny, you didn't actually go looking for your parents. Because if his parents really exist and return to Lenny's world, Lenny will also be transformed into a kind of "present", and because of this, in the square of Venice, he may have really seen his parents and encountered a momentary physical and mental shattering; and this This kind of brokenness actually comes from his basic desire as a human being and as a perceptual animal deep in his heart. Divinity is not inexorable, but divinity requires transcendence of affection. Fraternity happens to be a kind of ruthlessness, Lenny hopes to do it, and he does it completely, but in the end, he is just an avatar of God.
The first five episodes of "The Young Pope" looked like a satirical, sardonic, darkly humorous Vatican "House of Cards", and the last five episodes gradually transformed into a "god-and-god" missionary: How long have we not been in culture See the birth of a "miracle" in a work of art? Different eras have different deficiencies, and what this era lacks is a certain ability to understand "simulation". Why is "simulacrum" not another constructed reality? The soul can never be single. What "The Young Pope" does very well is that it is by no means a "Ang Lee-style" wisdom, compromise and co-existence, but just use the undisguised positive and negative confrontation and mutual strife to give a set of A truly "universal" common text: a set of texts that will satisfy the most devout believers, but also those like "atheists", "deists", and those who don't care about it all , to feel the sublime of an existential "love". There is no conflict between the three, because Sorrentino is almost restoring some kind of Hegel's "absolute idea" in the nineteenth century: this god composed of reason and sensibility can be called God, Buddha, or Allah, called Lao Zhuang, called communism: because this god is called "ideal", and the "simulation" of "ideal" in the current era is called the second disease, and different "simulations" point to the same kind of disease. Inappropriate; it is worth criticizing and thinking about the cost of realizing the ideal, whether it needs to cause harm, not the ideal itself.
In this era when all spiritual forms are summed up as "texts", and deconstructed forms like "sound mad ghost animal" are born, many times they are still bound and have to wait patiently for the "public" under the relationship of money. There is no era in the eyes of the "popular", only convention and comfort. Therefore, in today's "postmodern", this name is still in a position of ridicule and is constructed as "different". Therefore, Sorrentino is most notable for not only his classical and modern composition, warm light and wit, electronic music that transcends rationality, and the metaphysical and emotional impact brought by rock music, but also his, like Pope Lenny, trying to stand At the beginning and end of time, try to construct a "zeitgeist" in the contemporary era detached. This is always a thankless act, but this one instance of existence that someone would do is similar to the existence of a god: GOD is just three letters written by us, it is an idea created by humans and enduring Inspiring everything.
