Ang Lee's films, I've only seen two, Brokeback Mountain, and this one made at Woodstock.
From August 15th to 17th, 1969, the Woodstock Music Festival in Sullivan County, New York, USA attracted about 450,000 people to watch, the band and the audience called for anti-war and peace through music, a 20-mile traffic jam, unexpected Heavy rain poured, hundreds of thousands of people, but no violence. The film mainly tells the story of Elliot's preparation of Woodstock, his family, his ideals, and his conflicts and struggles between family affection and ideals. The tone of the whole is still dull, and countless passions are contained in a touch of emotion. There are not many concert scenes in the film, and it does not reproduce the scene of the legendary music festival that has affected an entire generation in the United States. "I wanted to make a film that would bury Woodstock in the hearts of the audience, not a concert-focused film," Ang Lee said. Obviously, he is good at speaking people, which is more attractive than speaking.
I like to read stories under unknown circumstances, because there is a sense of mystery, so I can devote myself wholeheartedly. I didn't know this movie was about a fact, what I saw was a very beautiful picture, a simple hotel, a strong and wealthy mother, a young artistic son, the crew of the barn, the small town people Dissatisfaction with Elliot's music festival, countless spectators who were attracted to drive in overnight, blocked roads, naked performances by barn crew, free revelers, anti-war and peace slogans, Elliot watched after taking LSD Tears spilling from the eyes of the dreamy dancing crowd, Elliot having fun in the mud. Family affection accounts for a large part of the film. Seeing that his mother wanted to keep the 20 years of savings that he had hidden by his side, Elliot was sad for the dream he gave up and the deception of his mother. When he asked how his father could live with his mother After more than 40 years, the answer is only one simple sentence: I love her.
I saw that many young people who participated in the music festival may not know why they are going, just to go, confusion, passion, the frustration of not being valued enough, and the desire for peace and equality, so they come to Woods by coincidence Tok scene, together compose a legend. Despite government dissatisfaction, bad weather, the festival was successfully held, leaving a fabulous memory of that generation and the next, 3 days of the purest rock and roll in the free world. I was shocked to see the scene where the crowds kept pouring in. Is it because Elliot has no intention of promising free? No, definitely not. What kind of force is it that attracts such a large audience? I can't imagine whether such a scene will appear in our country, in the United States 40 years ago, in 40 years, will we have it? Well, it's not just a concert.
Freedom...
In 2009, the media seemed to be a little freer, and many things that would have been covered up in the past were made known to the public. This should be the progress of the media industry. We expect such things to happen, even if it means having to face one after another. Confused facts. I read a log two days ago and said that our party is a great party. I saw that the articles that advocate freedom and democracy are indeed very ideal and beautiful, but no matter how ideal, the practitioners of the articles have already put them into practice. 's body is incomplete. Several of the imported films were not deleted, and even historical dramas like the Daqin Empire were banned in China. What happened? The financial crisis made the former economic powers begin to pay attention to China, and many words like smoke bombs began to appear constantly. What is the Chimerica China-US community? Whether this is a pie or a trap will not be known in the near future. But only with the overall economic development and GDP growth, is our country really strong enough?
We can see that every year our country introduces a dazzling array of foreign works. We need cultural exchanges, but who knows how many translated Chinese works can be found in a bookstore that is not a small foreign country? How many foreign copyright agreements have our General Administration of Press and Publication signed? How many foreigners can really understand Chinese culture? It's not a unilateral fault that foreigners can't really understand the current China. China's status in the world is constantly rising. But if China is mentioned, the first reaction of foreigners is limited to the Great Wall and Chinese Kung Fu. Then, it can only be The tragedy of this country, this nation. It is not war that can completely erode and assimilate a nation in history, but culture. Why did the Mongolians and other ethnic groups once ruled the Central Plains, but finally returned to the life of the iron cavalry? It is inseparable from the long-standing cultural heritage of this country. Those so-called foreign nations have been assimilated by such culture, atmosphere and way of life. Hedonism, no longer have a strong body and agile character, is no different from the Central Plains people they once disdained in their eyes, and again, they do not fully understand such a profound culture, then, can they conquer the world just by cavalry? If China wants to rise as a great power, it is not reliable to rely solely on the economy. What we need is a sense of identity in the bones of the majority. It is the same for a person and a nation.
Sadly, we can still see that the books that a certain author bought from Hong Kong were confiscated because they were not on the list of books allowed by the customs. The argument and basis are very pale. In 2012, the film that was promoted as the Chinese people saving the world was said to be the film with the least cuts in the introduction. No matter how little it was, there would still be cuts, and the deleted plots could be said to be irrelevant. I can't help but wonder, when can we stand upright in front of other countries? We despise Japan's cover-up of historical truth and South Korea's violation of our cultural heritage. How can we face our own shortcomings and deficiencies? Parents are not perfect, children still love their parents, children have many problems, and parents' love for their children is the same as always. The feeling that blood is thicker than water will never change. In fact, perfection is a pathological condition. Then why can't we face our country calmly and see that she is not good enough or strong enough, but we can achieve what we want step by step with our efforts.
The Internet should be the freest place to speak at present, but there are still many posts that neither pose a threat to social stability nor belong to the category of pornography are blocked. Occasionally write something, there will be sensitive words in the text, and you can’t publish it, or, The content you searched for does not comply with relevant laws and regulations and will not be displayed. . . There are too many forbidden areas, thoughts that have been imprisoned for a long time, when will Chinese culture enter the hearts of people all over the world...
The makers and executors of the rules of the game should think deeply about the development of the game. Only by operating with integrity can we achieve win-win results...
May our thoughts still have a free place to inhabit
