Why it is necessary to give the public a slap in the face

Text/broken years

I have always hated the top ten movies that men must watch, the 50 books that I have to read in my life, and I hate it. I think it is a cultural power, so I have always resisted it. Of course, this is a paranoid contest. The works are only kidnapped by public opinion. That's it, let them be victims, how innocent is it? And why should I miss a possible masterpiece? But whenever I want to get out of my emotions and try to reconcile and look at the things recommended by this type of list, it's almost impossible to get deceived again. As the saying goes, "Mentally handicapped writers will always have mentally handicapped readers, and idiotic movies must have idiotic fans." The experience of watching movies in "Forrest Gump" once again confirms this point. What is the difference between art and entertainment? What are the characteristics of independent films and promotional materials? How do mainstream culture and popular taste repay their favor? Let’s take "Forrest Gump" as an example. First look at the dominant thought. The whole film of "Forrest Gump" is nothing more than preaching an argument: if you do one thing persistently and persistently, then you will eventually succeed and get the happiness of life. This theory of individual struggle, as a component of liberalism, is another great weapon for stupid people besides religion in the Western ruling class. It is characterized by drawing away from social reality, forbidding deep reflection, and trying to imprison people's thoughts at the individual level, not the social level. It always creates the myth that a person’s success depends only on one’s self, society’s injustice on the individual is almost non-existent, injustice is always occasional, or minor, not inevitable or vital, and there is always It is self-protective to adopt an ostrich policy towards politics...etc. The truth of the world is just the opposite. True life progress cannot be separated from social transformation. This single-handed perspective is used most in secular success studies. The popularity of success studies in my country in recent years caters to the westernized social background and upper-level ideology. "Forrest Gump" is definitely a case of frequent luck in the success of learning, it smells similar, it is originally an inflatable doll made for attendants. Because of the departure from reality, the director can only use far-fetched, exaggerated and bizarre plots to accomplish his mission. "Forrest Gump" almost abuses the clumsy tricks common to this type of film, its The density of "stupid points" is by no means inferior to that of civil servants' conference halls. Trial example: Forrest Gump encountered the threshold when entering school, and was easily crossed by his mother's heroic dedication; Forrest Gump's congenital diseased leg easily became a god leg, and as a result, he successfully graduated from university and became a member of the national American football team; Because Gan was dragged to play table tennis and found out that he was a genius in table tennis, he not only became a member of the national team and a hero of Sino-US table tennis diplomacy; (not only the supernatural ability, Forrest Gump's luck is even the envy of God) In the First Vietnam War, a platoon was almost wiped out, and the surviving lieutenant also had his legs crippled, but fortunately, Forrest Gump suffered a slight injury on his buttocks. The carpet bombing of fighter planes also escaped easily; he stepped onto the anti-war podium, I was about to speak, but was unplugged to avoid a scourge of words; went to sea to catch shrimps and encountered a storm, and A-Gump's boat was safe and sound; A-Gump was a billionaire in business and became a billionaire more convenient than going to the toilet; A-Gump became Participants and witnesses of countless important historical events... Oh my god, what is this? When I was a child, I grew up with a lack of calcium and grew up lack of love. This is a superb person who has only been born for thousands of years. Ordinary people must have it. For 1% of Forrest's supernatural power or luck, the world is probably the same for a long time. All social backgrounds and historical events have a positive effect on Forrest Gump, and each can be transformed into a powerful boost for Forrest Gump's success. The film's distortion of social reality is ridiculous to the extreme. If you retain a little judgment for yourself, you will see that this is a typical brainwashing film dressed in a popular entertainment film. In the second half of the plot, it was a mess. The two sections were both dull and unhappy, almost maddening. One is Forrest Gump’s love, where the two have feelings and mutual dependence, but this is definitely not love, especially after reaching adulthood, Jenny, as a girl with self and ideals, has been involved in everything from the feminist movement to the equality of black and white. In the end, she suffered from many difficulties in life, and finally she could not bear it, so she compromised with life, went to find the prosperous Forrest Gump, and ran away because of her strong self-esteem. This was the only good point of the film, but the director led it to love again. With the family, turning it into a prop to express A-Gump's happiness in life, showing hideousness. A-Gump knows nothing about Jenny's rich inner world and the growth process of her thoughts. There is nothing moving about this kind of love. Then there is Forrest Gump running across the United States. This is a fool's behavior, because Forrest Gump is just a machine here, with no human subject to move, but the director still sublimated it hypocritically and decorated it with large landscape paintings. Extremely blunt. I have to mention one more point. The narrative method of "Forrest Gump" is also horribly mediocre, and it can be listed as the film with the sinister thoughts and the perforating plot. The three ugly scenery. Self-talking narration should be the lowest level of all techniques. Only directors who are too poor can use it, and "Forrest Gump" actually dared to take the whole film 3/4 of the time. Dragging it this way almost deliberately challenged the endurance of the audience. Looking around, you will find that you have almost entered a stupid game, which makes people speechless. Real works of art reveal the truth, evoke thoughts, delight in aesthetics, and inspire spirituality. But what can "Forrest Gump" bring to people? Apart from being under the veil of warmth and accepting the subtle brainwashing of mainstream elites, what else is there except the hypocrisy of political propaganda exposed by the flies-like disgusting farce that makes people swallow a flies? Should a doll without subject and opinion be a role model for people's lives? This doll has never even possessed an alienated personality. Back to the country. From the early "Women Are Not the Moon" to "The Happy Life of Damn Zhang Damin" to "Ma Dashuai" and all of Zhao Benshan's TV series, to the stinking "Struggle", to the current "Worry" broadcast by CCTV, all these mainstream The commonality of the propaganda materials is to create dreams, talk about dreams, distort reality, rape low-level figures, shield community organizations and in-depth investigations of society, use luck and coincidence, and use the so-called good people to pay for them, and the things that have aspirations become pale. Reasons to weave fairy tale auras, let people give up thinking, giggle in numb obscenity, bury their heads in the building of themselves and their families, instead of fighting for fairness, rights, supervision, social structure, etc., so as to achieve the goal of bringing disadvantaged groups (being The exploiter's despicable purpose of atomization and softening. In this regard, the propaganda materials of developed countries in Europe and the United States have done a better job. They are better at telling lies beautifully and satisfactorily, and they understand the truth of a lie, but this is the most deadly point. : The downplay and beautification of structural violence. "Forrest Gump" does a mediocre job in this respect, but it is quite representative and special. The irony is that the ruling class has made it boldly to say: you assholes are just idiots and fools. . Forrest Gump's success is nothing but a vicious mockery of chess pieces among game players' opponents. It's a sigh that they succeeded-with the cooperation of the young writers who think they are full of personalities but have a dull look. If you don’t believe me, if this short essay is sent out, Xiao Wenqing will surely rush up and say that I am a conspiracy theory. And these literary youths are precisely the group of people who have suffered the most. In such a world structure and social structure, they are at the bottom of the trampled, and they are running and struggling for their basic means of living (buying a house and a car is almost a dream). At the fringe of society, my free time is extremely limited, so I don’t have the spare time to delve into the truth of the world, and the requirements for literary works are also the same. As long as I can be a little moved and have a little philosophical specious essay, it’s enough, regardless of its creative background or Deep motivation! But life is lost in this way. The poison of the thoughts accumulated in it has gradually become his pillar of belief. He often feels that he is just a fish in the case, but he does not know his beliefs. It is the practice of this human feast. The swordsmen deliberately cultivated: They want their slaves to automatically maintain and solidify this kind of slave relationship! The force of profit plundering has been extended from the deployment of positions to over-limit! This is how the world has turned upside down-people on the distance are scarce and dangerous, people close by are safer, and the rest of the people are mostly at the core of giving up the approach to things in the calculation of gains and losses. Just try it out and follow the trend, what a cheap sale to self and youth! The illusion is always fascinating, and people always feel justified in moving. Then be moved. But I want to say that this is foolishness, the foolishness of the masses, the so-called "being sold out, and paying for the people". Isn't the post that blindly applauded, isn't it a variant of human blood steamed buns? Of course, this is also the reason why it is necessary to give the public a slap in the face. (Unexpectedly, a few years later, this film review is still being posted. It’s not lively. Let me talk about it here, welcome to discuss seriously, go to the side of the street and cool off, and remarks that have nothing to do with the subject and personal attacks will be posted. Delete. For those who are useful and praised, I really like your independent thinking spirit.)
