In 1966, the beginning year of my country's raging "Cultural Revolution", the British version of Fahrenheit 451 was already in theaters. This US version is considered to be a remake version, with the intention of "burning books and confessing Confucianism", and it has a strong dystopian political tendency.
The film shows that the United States is implementing a high-pressure policy under centralized power, and the people are not allowed to read any form of books. All that is allowed to be read and taught is provided by the so-called 9 channel designated by the state. The organization that circulates books privately is called the "eel" organization, which is illegal and confuses the people and must be severely cracked down. It is precisely the firefighters who are responsible for the work of "burning books and pitting Confucian scholars" who don't fight fires but instead set fires. The huge functional contrast also reflects the chaos under the ridiculous dictatorship...
Just ask, burn all forms of books, and the only way for the public to know knowledge is the "purified" books or videos designated by state agencies. The direction that guides the public's awareness has become an important factor for the centralized government to control the people. way. One by one "online" manipulation of knowledge instillation points controls the people like puppet-like dullness and ignorance.
Having lost the space for free imagination, the reason given is simply that happiness is more important than freedom. This kind of generalized fallacies and heresy is obviously a ideological confinement. Just like the "literal prison", the end result is that scholars dare not write, dare to speak, and dare not teach. When everyone is in danger, a large number of obedient people will be produced; and then through strict autocratic education, batches of foolish people will emerge as the times require.
People, the most precious thing is life, what is more precious than life, I think everyone has their own answer. But my answer is that no matter what you do, it is more important to stick to the truth and the bottom line of your heart than life. Ideological independence cannot be violated or stifled. As long as you have faith in your heart, even if there is only a trace of fire, you will be able to start a prairie fire sooner or later...
The higher the pressure, the easier it is to awaken the people's desire for freedom. The policy of stupid people is destined to cause a centralized government to play with fire and self-immolate. It will either be overthrown or disintegrated in the turbulent wind and rain...! ! !
But the words come back again. Why the people are so easily manipulated? In the final analysis, compliance with policies is the key (servileness)! ! ! Freedom, whether the people need it or not; awakening, is the pioneer worth it. Whether a hundred flowers bloom, and whether the ideological pattern of the sages contending among a hundred schools of thought will reappear depends on whether the "servile" cancer that has been indoctrinated by the autocracy for too long can be completely eradicated.
It's like being a prairie fire, there must be pioneers, but the pioneers can awaken so many people by doing all this, and how many foolish and corrupt people are waiting to take their blood to "dip steamed buns". This is indeed a dilemma. It is also a problem and a problem that is not a problem. But, after all, it's a problem...
