It's only after reading my previous tirade that you can understand what I'm about to say.

Before the 1960s, the world was both colonial (Germany was unable to compete with Britain and France for colonies and their resources, leading to two wars. WWII marked the end of the colonial era.) and post-colonial (marked by the Cold War). , the United States has become the representative of the Western powers, trying to continue the old rules that have been improved). Western countries have amassed a lot of wealth in the process. The victims were Native Americans, Africans and Asians.

Ang Lee deftly performed an oriental (colonial victim) family (in the movie) at the woodstock festival that marked the beginning of the collapse of values ​​in the Western (colonial beneficiaries) colonial era (which I would define as the Renaissance to the end of World War II). Russian Jews, neither East nor West) two generations of change.

The United States took communism as the new Hitler, and with this really bad (in fact, a product of Western mechanical thinking) opponents, the old rules were rejuvenated. But the truth is that it's not just democracy and freedom, it's racism: and only white people can produce great civilization. What he said is not: Our American democracy and freedom are the greatest! Rather: The democratic freedoms that we white people have created are the greatest.

In the 1960s, this notion began to crumble. It's not a miracle, it's something that everyone is born with, ie: we don't need a spiritual life, we are a spirit. Both masters and servants are victims of the old game. Without change, America would also be Sparta and the Third Reich.

And the East, which is a victim of colonialism, such as China, also needs to be freed from this tragedy. For nearly 200 years, the Chinese people only want to survive, just to have enough food (just like the mother in the movie, she is clearly a Chinese mother. Due to the previous lack, she has a paranoid and crazy obsession with material and money.) These original The weak and small countries used to get rid of their miserable fate is to study hard and adapt to Western rules (communism is also a Western product). Americans drink Coke, and so do we. . . Americans buy cars, and so do we. . . In short, to become a small America, the ultimate goal is to have material goods, money, and "power".

The son in the movie, without the panic of starvation and persecution, finds himself able to live a life completely different from his parents. This does not require a lot of conditions, the key is to change the way of thinking.

The Spartans were fed up with their lives, they liberated the Shiloh and threw a party with them called woodstock. From then on, the Spartans didn't have to worry about the creation of the Hilo people, but practiced martial arts all day long, and the Hilo people didn't have to think about how to survive all day long, they began to think about how to live.

Although most people in the world now live in the relics of colonial cultures, it has to be said that no matter how much lace there is, the implementation of these cultures relies on force. The fact that the Spartans are strong doesn't mean they are good, on the contrary: they have lost some of the most basic of humanity.

Finally: the events of the '60s, a lot of failures, a lot of victories. But the trend is the only hope for mankind.
Music: As long as the seeds of sincerity continue, I am content.
lsd: Americans still can't get rid of mechanical thinking: this is a new additive, a new part, add this, and everything is ok. All the credit goes to this little pill. This thing is a failure. . . Therefore, many of them started out as spiritual explorations, and later became heroin, which became purely physical needs.
Racial Issues: Seeds 50 Years Ago, Now Finally Bears.

There is very little description of the changes in American society in the film. Basically, it can be regarded as a Chinese family. So the focus of the film is not wookstock, but the Chinese family in the context of changing thinking.

If some people feel that they are not exhilarating enough, they are not cool enough. . . Then let me tell you: the 1960s were a lot of nasty things. In any case, these are appearances, the real gold is in your own heart. (There is an insinuation in the movie that the Hell's Angels killed people at the Rolling Stones scene).
