Keywords: Can religion solve poverty?

1. Your poverty is full of a postmodern atmosphere;

The humanistic quality is extremely high, but the drama of the film is basically zero, and the overall look and feel is a documentary literature"——From the depths of the Turkish mountains, Gu Ying's self-pitying cry", loyal to "documentary", abide by "sincere", and do not play "narrative" ', don't even bother to play. Therefore, it will not deliberately create any movie scenes, let alone use modern music and art to color the narrative, completely show the real life situation, and reshape the narrative scene with natural artistic conception.

I have to say that the film does not build visual scenes, but only does this literary play of simple artistic conception. The effect is not good, and it is difficult for the audience not to be distracted. Under normal circumstances, too much literature in the film's narrative - especially the literary skill - participation, I give a bad review. However, the film is still full marks because of its sincerity.

Watching such a movie, you have to have a class mentality. As far as literature and religion are concerned, Turkey is respectable, at least it proves that there are still some people in this country who are thinking about classic literature and religious texts so sincerely, and have successfully incorporated these reflections into the film narrative. Although there is no drama, such a movie makes people feel that it is simple, unattractive, and poor in drama, because we, the audience, have low literary and artistic quality, rather than the film has a problem.

People with literary and religious backgrounds are more likely to understand the film. Because the discussion about literature and religion involved in this film are the basic propositions faced by this group of people on a daily basis.

Let’s talk about literature first. What is the center of literature? Is it language? Does a story have to have a theme? Should the meaning of literature be metaphysical or metaphysical? If it is metaphysical, can literature solve poverty? If it is metaphysical, how to ensure its objectivity?

As for religion, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. As far as this sentence in "Hebrews" is concerned, truth in a religious context is an illusion. How can human beings explore reality and evidence on the basis of illusion? Specifically, does faith have to go into a church or temple? Why can't we dismantle the "classic" alone? How can classic ancient books explain and predict the contemporary world? How should we view Catholicism, which is heavily guarded, and Protestantism, which is wide open? Among them, who is more representative of divine authority and absolute correctness?

2. A writer's risk;

It is easy for people living in this era to understand that "investment has risks", but it is very difficult to make people understand that "writers have risks". Even many professional writers don't necessarily understand what the writer's risks are. This is the difference between "author" and "writer", which is why the word "conscience" is repeatedly mentioned in this film. If the master of language understands what the essence of language is, he understands what the writer's risk is.

There are very few people who really have the gift of language, because this ability is actually extremely terrible, and God is very careful to allocate this ability. As the writer in the film said, you can work hard, but talent is the most important. (As far as I am concerned, this kind of talent is not a talent for controlling words, but a talent for predicting risks. There are many people who manipulate language, but very few people can manipulate the energy of language. Gong, a disciple of Confucius, is one, Jesus Peter's disciple Peter was also one.)

Having said that, with the marginalization of the humanities today, as the film alludes, literature is not an academic study unless it promotes local tourism. Under this circumstance, the humanities as a macro-discipline, the philosophy that has always been based on the concept of "heaven, earth and man" and the literature that has always been based on the concept of "contradictory time and space editing" will inevitably reflect on the question of how to compete with the natural sciences, which are based on the microscopic concept. Although it has been proved that a society that is full of natural sciences, but lacks humanities, is restless, because it cannot see the value of life that is longer than money, just like the proliferation of "myopia" among students in this era.

The humanities cannot play the social promoting role that the natural sciences can see with the naked eye. It is not so functional, gossip, feng shui, facial features, our ancestors once explored the functionality of the humanities, used to predict, used to deduce. However, it is impossible for human beings to solve the problem of "spiritual quantification" after all.

Except for the instinctive love and the "national sense" that the government continues to promote, everything including literature, religion, and philosophy was once sacred and is no longer so important. People do not realize the social and personal role of the humanities, at least until they pay the price of a complete loss of the humanities. Although people are trapped in the trap of desire, endless material pursuits become a vicious circle, the more they have in their hands, the more they feel that they are not enough.

Perhaps, the role of humanities is like the well in this film that cannot be digged for water. The previous generation could not dig it out, and the current generation will continue to dig it. It may only be deep enough that there will be water. However, you have to know the risk of it, if you can't dig water, you will die - this is literature with religious intentions.

  • Idris Karasu: A timely retreat is a victory.

  • Idris Karasu: I've forgotten most of it, but even forgetting has its appeal. People should float in time a little. Good and bad memories should merge and dim and melt away. There are those that should stay, too. Carving a notch in time.
