are not acceptable to the general public. Then who should we hire to make sense?
There is a deep memory in the Embrace of the Snake: The
old explorer knows a tribe very well. Before he left, the old explorer found that the compass had been stolen by the tribe. He was very angry and wanted to take it back, but the leader of the tribe was willing to exchange anything with it. However, the old explorer said that he was unwilling to exchange anything. In addition to his need later, another reason was that the old explorer believed that leaving the compass here would only harm the indigenous people, and their dependence on the compass would make them gradually Lost the mastery of traditional methods of identifying directions.
But the indigenous people who walked with him said that you are harming them if you don’t leave the compass. You can’t stop them from learning. If you don’t let them learn, their traditions will die out faster because the indigenous people do not accept foreign cultures. If they don't accept modern technology, it may be more difficult for them to protect their own culture on the day when foreign cultures invade.
This reminds me of the Qing government's "learning from the barbarians to develop skills to control barbarians." From then on, we had no choice but to throw away some of our traditions and began to accept Western culture in its entirety. After all, the winner is king and the loser is Kou. No one will sympathize with the demise of historical culture. If it can, then the Western powers’ thinking is colonization. And colonization usually means cultural aggression, and cultural aggression usually means that a part of a culture may face disappearance. Since the skills are not as good as others, they have to learn from others. This is the only way for the country to rejuvenate. We had to accept foreign technology, build ships, repair railways, send overseas students to study abroad, and even learn Western management structure. Why, because our traditional thinking is too backward, just like when the indigenous people were still stargazing, Spain People have found them by relying on the compass. It is not a matter of national justice, but that the technology is too backward, and they have to accept foreign technology and have to be ridden under the crotch. But the facts have proved that if you start late, you will still be under people for a lifetime after learning from others. Failure is inevitable. The invaders can only bow their heads and resist, but they cannot raise their heads.
Of course, this is a kind of cultural invasion that the nation must accept at the time of life and death. There is also a case of cultural invasion under the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and the backward social production. Snake’s Embrace roughly refers to the former, while Hundred Bird Chaofeng refers to the latter.
The reason why the US team 3 has such a high box office is largely due to our backward film productivity. The less we don’t, the more we want. Just imagine if one day China can come up with a movie that can be said to be a blockbuster special effects, who else will Are you so excited to watch the premiere of US Team 3? To be honest, the story of US Team 3 is really considered to be above average. The story is not as contagious as Hundred Birds Chaofeng, but fortunately, the unconventional actions, unconventional imagination and exquisite pictures make up for this. A bit of regret, on the other hand, looking at the birds and the phoenix, it only gives me the energy of the domestic films of the last century to prepare to go overseas to win awards.
I have no right to talk about the movie "Hundred Birds Chaofeng". But I think this movie itself can reflect the fact that cultural invasion is a good reflection. One of my favorite passages is not the death of the last Jiao Sanye, but the chaos of modern music and the suona team. The last two fight each other. If you watch a movie seriously, you don’t need to guess and know that you support it. Which side. In reality, this scene is still very meaningful. After the kneeling incident, the Internet almost supported Bainiao Chaofeng, and there were many comments criticizing the US team 3, denounced foreign culture, and even more denounced the lack of attention to traditional culture, and the disrespect of the older generation of filmmakers. . The online debate is as intense as the chaos in the film.
Traditional culture attracts everyone's attention only when foreign cultures invade or are about to die. It's almost the same as endangered animals.
It can be argued that in the end, no one has given a path suitable for the development of domestic literary films, and no one has come up with any ideas to further protect traditional culture. So what is the argument? Should I kneel down?
In fact, the two protagonists of "Hundred Birds Face the Phoenix" and "Snake's Embrace" gave the same answer to the attitude of traditional culture. You Tianming stood alone in front of the tomb of Jiao Sanye and blew the birds to the phoenix; the indigenous people chose Living alone, unwilling to be contaminated with foreign breath. Perhaps in their opinion, traditional culture will not change as long as it is in their own hands. But the film also avoided a deeper question, how to pass it on! The Youjia class is falling apart, and whether it can perform again is a problem; the indigenous people taught the pharmacy techniques to the indigenous children in the church, but after a few years it became a cult holy place...
Maybe we don’t have to be too serious about traditional culture, just meet people It’s the same as the end of life. The era of this craft has changed. That’s it. Carriage for cars, wooden boats for ships, oil lamps for electric lights...
Once a ticket to a famous Peking opera performance was as crazy as Disney tickets, but now How far is it? Cross talk has also declined for a while, and has not been able to stand up so far, but isn't the Deyun Club also operating well?
Whether the traditional culture can be carried forward, the key lies in people. The suona craftsman only blows birds to the phoenix, and only passes one person. How can this kind of development be carried forward; the pure Amazon jungle, the desire for profit, all the magical craftsmanship and drug making What's the difference?
