On the German film "A Masterless Work": What is art? Only when there is freedom can there be art, and what is freedom, without being restricted, is freedom. This is the film "A Masterless Work". The protagonist experienced the fascist era of Hitler in Germany in his childhood. When Germany was defeated, the Soviet Union controlled East Germany, his thoughts were restrained, imagination was castrated, and rejected. Fascism is gone, and the Soviet Union has inherited it again. Everyone is poisoned by Soviet ideology again. Everyone lives without the truth, lives numb, and can't even think about fate. Without real art, how can you have a real self? Everything is the same as in the past. It is still a slogan. The male protagonist is young and promising. He could have painted better, but it is conceivable that he will always be stifled, because he can't be himself, he can only be a tool, and listen to his superiors. He can paint whatever other people ask him to paint, and he cannot refuse. This is not Free art is no different from serving the powerful. Many literary and artistic youths chose to defect to West Germany. They did not think it was a betrayal, because they did not have a country, and the country was occupied by the Soviet Union. They belonged to their own traditions, and their history became worthless and inexhaustible because of the Soviet Union. The protagonist and his wife resolutely chose to go to West Germany. After they went there, he saw colorful art, a vibrant art, vivid and vivid, freedom and fanaticism, passion and fearlessness, and art. Young people can perform, create, and express as much as they want. No one will deprive them of their imagination or criticize their art. Therefore, the art of West Germany is alive, and the art of East Germany is dead, like rancid stagnant water. It can't raise a fish at all. The so-called art is just a puppet under the color of despotism. Art, he not only enlightened himself, but also enlightened mankind, not only liberating himself, but also liberating mankind. Art is the salvation of the soul in this world, which keeps life away from the curse of the devil, can feel everything, and can make oneself perfect. When a person is unfamiliar with art, it is his ignorance, when a group of people is ridiculed in art, it means that they have fallen, and when a city expels literature and art, it has been completely corrupted, corrupted, and the world is madly destroying literature and art. , That is a bloody era is coming. Everything is art, and everything can be expressed in works. All eyes are evidence of the audience and time of art. For example, the completion of the Berlin Wall is art, because it is the boundary between freedom and non-freedom, and people have witnessed it. all of these. Don’t worry about what you like in the west, what you say, being reported, suppressed, and interrogated, but in the east, people are always monitored, tracked, and suspected. There are always people arrested for labor reform, ideological reform, and even deprivation of life, because the Soviet Union does not allow anyone to have them. The second thing to divide the worship of it. Literature and art are human traditions. The Six Arts of Confucius have music and writing. No dynasty can destroy it. This can only show how ignorant and cruel one is. Literature and art serve mankind, not by others. Literature and art should be criticized. Spirit, not whitewashing peace. (April 2019)
