Excellent or even genius writers and directors, under the magnificent scenes and upper-level power struggles, they express the most universal humanity, allowing every viewer to see his own shadow and think about something that he would not normally go to. Think about issues, such as the value of living, the role you play in the world, and your position.
The saddest thing is that the people represented by the shadow warriors are not a minority. Most of us in the world live in a position dominated by the strong, by the social structure, by the organization, and by the system. We are ordinary born with mediocre talents and abilities. It is a miracle that people can live out themselves. Therefore, the theme of "being who you are" can support the huge chicken soup industry, because behind it is a strong and never-satisfied demand from the broadest group of people. One more deviation: Why is chicken soup illusory? Because it is something you desperately desire but will never achieve. But why is the market for chicken soup so big? Is it not allowed for us poor ordinary people to daydream and paralyze ourselves in the face of tragic reality?
