"The Invisible Man": The Last Struggle at the End of the Day. Wen/Vulcan Ji Idealists would say: I think, therefore I am; materialists would say: Existence because of the perception of others. To some extent, what this film embodies is the most obvious argument of materialism. My dear, you still stand by your side; yet you have no power to perceive and never notice. When this is just staying in secret love, everything is very beautiful; outside the secret love, everything is very sad. So the thinking I faced was: I think, but I am no longer there. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
Perhaps it is because commercial films under the Hollywood model have begun to make us feel aesthetic fatigue. In recent years, the introduction of foreign classic films into Hollywood model movies by Hollywood seems to bring us some freshness and visual excitement. After the introduction of foreign films for Hollywood-style adaptations, the highest achievement of successful works on the big screen may be a few years ago. Martin Scorsese's "Infernal Affairs" won the 79th Oscar for Best Film and Best Director in one fell swoop. With four awards, the introduction of adaptation became even more prosperous. An excellent film that has been successful not only brings guarantees of quality and box office, but also facilitates the exchange and integration of film culture between the introducing country and the introduced country, but perhaps more important is the occupation of the overseas film market and the guarantee of overseas box office . On a certain basis, the introduction of foreign classic films adapted from classic films is more conservative and safer than the native Hollywood model industrial film, and this emerging film model is more easily accepted by some film production companies. This "Invisible Man", created by the original crew of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", is adapted from the classic Swedish movie of the same name. It is actually impossible to reproduce the glory of "Infernal Affairs". But in terms of business, this is still a hearty Hollywood movie. And this movie will not be as plain and straightforward as other Hollywood commercial movies. The movie depicts all that a person faces in the dead time. It is imaginative and creative, how we will penetrate life and death, If you transition from life to death, what this movie reveals is the world after death and the process from life to death that we have been exploring and imagining for thousands of years.
Humans are actually just a kind of advanced social animals. This gives humans a communicative ability; to perceive others and to be perceived by others. Originally, this was just the instinct of interdependence as a weak individual; but now, this perception of and being perceived by others has surpassed the instinct and has become more of a manifestation of personal value. Perceive others, be perceived by others; this constructs a whole world of self and superego. It may be said that it is these two worlds that constitute a subjective world and an objective world and ultimately build our entire life. Through the lens of this movie, we have shown us a world of frightening imagination. Our perception is still there, but we can no longer let others perceive it. Invisibility, after all the beautiful desires for invisibility that we have always imagined become reality; everything may not be what we once desired anymore. Most of the movies I have watched on the subject of invisible people travel freely or non-freely between invisible and undiscovered; so when invisible, we can do many things that we usually want to do but dare not do. Pursue some truths that cannot be found because of the limitations of the body, and after the manifestation, we still have our ability to communicate and be perceived. However, in this movie, invisibility means impending death, which means that we will never be able to let others perceive our existence. Then our original ability to perceive the world and perceive others is still there, and this perception has What does that mean. Exist, and no longer be perceived by people. Existence becomes a sorrow of vain, helplessness, and meaninglessness; and this sorrow is given to ourselves by the ability to perceive the world that we still exist. The inability to talk and not to be perceived has become the most terrifying loneliness. There is a scene in the movie of walking through a bustling street. No matter what you do, whether you scream loudly or not, the people around you are indifferent. Is there any difference between such existence and the void of non-existence?
Having said that, it reminds me of the oldest dispute between materialism and idealism. The proposition of "I think, therefore I am" has never reached a conclusion. If "I am" refers to the existence of thought and spirit, then this proposition is still biased towards a materialist argument, but if it is not, this sentence is basically The above has become the most basic argument for idealist argumentators. The existence of the world exists because of my existence, and because of my existence, this world is meaningful to me. If I no longer exist, then this world has no meaning to me personally. Regardless of materialism or idealism, this rule may not work; but on the other hand, it seems more reasonable. The world as we know it will not change because of the existence or non-existence of someone. This is a fact that we have accepted. My existence makes the world meaningful to me, and my existence is not perceived by the world, where is the meaning of my existence. Existence is actually more important than whether our state of existence is perceived and recognized. This has become one of the most basic desires for our existence. Looking at this movie from this point of view, the scene I mentioned earlier gave me too deep feelings. I have walked on the bustling streets, and I can still be perceived, but everyone on the street is just strangers; nothing more, I already feel that the most lively places are actually my loneliest place. Anything the character in the movie did was enough to make people stop, but no one knew him, so the feeling of loneliness and resonance emerged spontaneously. I suddenly thought of Nicholas Cage in "City of Angels". What he sought after all the hardships was nothing more than being touched by his beloved woman, and being perceived in love is actually the best Represents happiness as an individual after being perceived by other individuals. I also remembered Leslie Cheung’s old song called "The Invisible Man". What he sang is actually an existence for others and the sadness brought about by the invisibility of the woman I love, which can also prove Perceived happiness. And this is only for a certain other individual. This movie uses an extreme technique to push this terrible loneliness to the extreme. It is not the insensitivity of the individual but the unrecognition of the entire group. After Fa's perception realized this, too heavy loneliness would turn into a kind of despair that made people tremble like fear. Or another scene in this movie seems very sensational. After disappearing, I started to realize that I was not perceivable and then returned home. When I watched my mother crouching down in tears, I couldn't tell my only relative that I was by her side, and I couldn't tell. She herself is actually dead. Not being perceived in turn becomes harm to yourself and the people you love. The helpless sadness struck so heavily.
Many people have lived through their deaths and then gradually recovered, and their explanations are different. Regarding what kind of world we will face when we die, we can’t believe anyone’s statement, so many versions of our imagination have appeared. We have already imagined certain situations at a certain moment. Too much. On this point, this movie expresses its own views. This movie advertises horror themes, in fact, neither the scene nor the light, lens, music can be called horror. However, in my opinion this is still an excellent thriller movie. Not all horror comes from visual and auditory stimulation, but something more terrifying is actually lurking deep in people's hearts. What this movie does is to directly inspire this deep fear of loneliness outside of gregariousness, which is inherited from our ancestors in the deepest part of our hearts. Loneliness may not be terrible, but when this kind of loneliness can no longer be escaped and we must stay in this kind of loneliness forever until we finally die, this kind of loneliness is truly terrible. When we wake up and find that the world is still turning, the people who love us are all grieving their abandonment, and they are clearly by their side but they no longer know where they are. This is actually the most terrifying evil. Dreamed. Annie's nightmare lies in the indifference of her surroundings, so she can only use a perverse and violent posture to cover up her panic; while Nick's nightmare lies in the sudden self-evaporation after paying attention. The end of the movie shows us a kind of vain happiness. Annie completed the process of self-salvation while saving Nick, and Nick returned to the center of the crowd to perceive others as well as being perceived by others. Annie said that she just wanted to do the only good thing in her life. In fact, this is just a desire to be positively perceived by others. The calm and faint life at the end of the movie actually changed the sad and sad tone of the whole movie. The last struggle in the dying period is brought back to life and restored to the most fundamental and original place. Only then will we discover that in fact, all of what we have is what we should cherish the most. What we should be fortunate is that we are still alive as plain water. Perhaps, we will only know how to cherish and be grateful when everything is lost or regained. The last struggle while dying is just to continue the happiness that is not in competition and everything that has never been cherished. What the movie shows us may never be experienced, but at least we don’t have to struggle like Nick to understand all of this. Perhaps this is the greatest charm of this movie.
