humble opinion

The movie that was released in the United States five days ago came out of the HD version so quickly. I haven't seen Goddess K for a long time. Today I suddenly saw the title "Twilight Girl's New X-Ray Camp", so I clicked it in. First of all, I have to complain about the title. Although Guantanamo’s code name is xray, it may be better in English. After all, Americans all know that CAMP XRAY is Guantanamo (I also learned about it later), but it was translated into "X-ray camp." "This era of more compelling and more compelling translation makes me think that girls are going to shoot some bad movies again. Is it because Xiao K was affected by x-ray gene mutation and was sent to a research institute for anatomy... People said Goddess K's acting skills have been like a day for ten years, and her face is really paralyzed. That said, the goddess can only play this kind of role, but I don’t know why I like the goddess’ facial paralysis, like the goddess’ dark circles, like the goddess being bullied, and the arrogant expression without facial expressions...but she is indeed suitable for this role. There is no magnificent ups and downs in this film, no long shots stretching from the New York coast to the Statue of Liberty and then passing through high-rise buildings. The story takes place in the camp and there is no sound of a bullet. Everything in the film depends on the hero and heroine. The poor performance came out, and this can only be known when I read it carefully.
Guantanamo is the place where Obama once clamored to be closed but has not been closed. It is also a big handle he is currently held by American voters. After 9/11, the Taliban and Al Qaeda "war criminals" were detained here. Defined as "suspects" and called "detainees (detainees)", so they do not enjoy the Geneva Convention. Even if the United States officially recognizes that Guantanamo detainees enjoy the Geneva Conventions, there are increasing calls for the closure of Guantanamo due to non-reporting of scandals of prison abuse. This is the Americans. They were attacked by terrorists in the past, but now they are worried about the human rights of these detainees. After all, human rights and freedom are the foundation of their country. They call on the human rights of the enemy to defend their own human rights because they belong to the same group. Humanity.
To digress first, I can’t help thinking about the ideological causes of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the counterbalance between American liberalism and Soviet socialism. Indeed, I admire the proposal of socialism very much. It is a bit like the Shang Yang Reform and the Wang Anshi Reform, speaking for the peasants. . It now appears that the development of socialism has clearly deviated from the direction, because the direction is not found, the most important "superstructure" for the realization of communism has not been built or it is found that it is difficult or even impossible to build. In other words, the development of human civilization bluntly means gradually abandoning human animality, selfishness, violent greed and other animalism, but after all, humans are animals, and it is difficult for everyone to be honest in the ivory tower, so communism is just An ideal can only be approached infinitely but cannot be realized. For people who read less and have low self-cultivation, for example, I am closer to animals, so I prefer American liberalism, that is, to obey my own animality. So from this perspective, the victory of the American Cold War is a victory of ideology.
So when it comes to the film, 80% of the shots are fixed on the aisle facing a 10-small cell. The impatient population scolds the film, but ignores the more profound and thought-provoking value of the film itself. It mainly expresses sympathy for the inhuman treatment of detainees. There is a contrast between the inside of the cage and the outside of the cage. It is intriguing that I don’t know whether the contrast is positive or inverse. Because there is a layer of cage and the camera is shot to one side, it is impossible to know who is in the cage and who is outside the cage. The repetition of "We are all locked up here and can't go anywhere" also implies deep thinking about who is imprisoned. The hostess comes from a small town in Florida. This is the first time she has traveled far away, and it is also the first time she has been "incarcerated" into the world in at least 18 years. Her body looks free but in fact her mind is blocked for nearly 20 years. Years; and the detained male protagonist claims to be from Germany, studied university, and read many books. Now his body is imprisoned here, but his heart resists not being imprisoned. In addition, after the film was broadcast for an hour, several scenes were frequently switched. Devout Muslim detainees were holding the Koran. They kneeled and prayed to Allah, while the American soldiers gathered together and saluted the American flag. Called the slogan "fight for freedom". This makes people can't help but reflect on the difference between terrorism and hegemonism, on the difference between imprisonment and imprisonment, on what is true freedom, and on what is religion.
I won’t repeat too much. In the end, not to mention that this movie was shot by the Republican Party to black Obama, or to once again promote the American liberalism and human rights ideology to the world. I just say that I like it very much because I yearn for freedom.
