Recently, I watched Sono Ziwen's two ethical films "Sinful Love" and "Cold Tropical Fish", which made me think more about the social and film conditions in which we live, and communicated with you.
Should we "grow naturally"?
I remember when I was in junior high school, a very smart and learned classmate told me this sentence: There is only one thing one cannot do in one's life, and that is illegal. More than 20 years have passed, and now the classmate who wants to come to me with very little life experience is really insightful. Is not it? The essence of law is the tool for the ruling class to achieve class rule and to check and balance the power of the powerful and the common people. Can you fight against the country? Human nature is inherently evil, but after all, people have been socialized, and they have to follow their social attributes. Just like domestic animals, before domestication, you are allowed to be free and savage, but after being kept in captivity, you have to restrain your wildness. Otherwise, the farmer (country) will take you to "open the brush" first.
It's not that we don't want "natural growth", it's that "farmers" don't allow it!
Freedom of Thought and Slave Education
Why can't China make such a reflective and shocking film? I think it might be blocked before it is filmed, let alone showing it? With our current "ideological level", we still don't know if we can reach this level in a hundred years!
When I was young, my favorite movies were all kinds of movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan. After more than 20 years, when I look at the films in Hong Kong before 1997, I still find it very fresh, enough to see the advantages of freedom of thought. Because of ideological imprisonment, Chinese people can only spy on the freedom of human nature and draw strength from the cultural industries of Japan, South Korea and Hollywood; because of ideological imprisonment, Chinese history and culture have remained unchanged for thousands of years, without the slightest innovation, and finally lag behind others!
Among all animals on earth, human beings are the most thoroughly "domesticated"! Especially the "farm" in China has been established for a long time, and the education and ignorance are deeply rooted. The "animals" are bound by various so-called traditions, and the original wildness has been "domesticated" for a long time. No wonder sociologists summarize the characteristics of Eastern and Western people: Westerners are "wild", Easterners are "captive", and wild animals are always stronger than captive animals! In the modern history of the world, the west was the invader, and the large farm in the east was occupied and ruled. But there is one exception in this farm in the East, and this is Japan. Japan is the only "wild" country in Asia and the only Asian invader in the World War. Although the "stocking" time is a little late, it still has the general characteristics of "wild farm" after all: democracy, freedom, free and enlightened thinking. Facts have proved that in developed countries with strong comprehensive national strength, the ideas of their citizens are free and civilized, without exception.
Of course, Japan's liberalization has also experienced rebirth from ashes. At the end of the 19th century, the Japanese government dispatched the largest and most expensive government delegation in the world at that time to comprehensively study Western politics, ideology, culture and other fields. In order to urge people to open their minds, Ito Hirobumi, who was then the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, took the lead in participating in public dances naked. Enlightenment thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi wrote open-minded pamphlets and distributed them to every Japanese at that time...
Cultural industry is an important competitiveness
The film is one of the most influential cultural industries. If our films can't even let go of the mind, how can we get people to innovate in other ways?
