After watching "I Grow Up in Iran" by Marga Shatarpi, I said that using such a genre to express such a subject is already great in itself. But I am disappointed that the film overly relies on the perspective of individuals, women, and artists to think about the problem, which makes huge propositions get extremely one-sided answers. The fact that Iran has reached this point is not because of the government and very few dictators that female painters think, nor is it because of bad fate. This is inevitable.
"Poison Sun" almost made the same mistake. A brilliant socialist fighting hero, dancing with his beautiful wife, rowing with his lovely daughter, playing football and singing with a group of musicians in a bourgeois liberal art home . The scenes of pastoral oil paintings are cut at a slow pace to increase the brightness of the exposure, coupled with soothing string music, and occasionally controversies about the world view, embellish it. You almost thought you were watching the "Golden Autumn" in Pushkin's "Belkin's Novels", full of little bourgeois self-satisfaction everywhere.
Then the conflict came. A man came in disguise. He was the adopted son of the family, the student of the old man, the fallen nobleman, and the wife’s ex-boyfriend. The skin is very pale. Full boyfriend power!
But he is a bad guy setting-Stalin's spy, Yezhov's eagle dog, he came back to send the battle hero to the guillotine.
In order to enrich the character, strengthen the role connection and the depth of the content. This bad guy had a tragic chance. He was a spy forced to be a spy by the battle hero. In order to come back to see his girlfriend, he betrayed eight white Russian generals. There was Hamlet's shadow on him, and he was also reading Shakespeare's lines.
The battle hero saw the sadness of his wife who knew the truth, and quickly said that I am different from him.
Then quickly kiss the upper mouth and seal the lower mouth. Really, in the love world, there is no problem that cannot be solved by making love. If there is, then come twice!
Sure enough, after the cloud and rain, the two happily played the platypus game again. puff!
The bad guy told the hero privately that you are going to be arrested! The good people said I got it. Then he was very heroic and played a game like Guan Gong. When I came back, put on the military uniform, I was ready to die. When he arrived in the car, there was no one around. He said to the eagle dogs, do you know? Comrade Stalin and I have a deep personal relationship! The eagle dogs looked at him like idiots. He felt that the situation was not right, and he didn't want to be honest. As a result, he was beaten up again by a fat meal. After the beating, he cried in a mess. He didn't have the expression of my Dang Jiang sister who regarded death as home, and seemed to have no faith. The bad guy was on the road and saw a stray driver who was waiting for Godot. He was given too much symbolic intent by the director. Immortality is not enough for civilians to indignation! Sure enough, after seeing the statue of Stalin, the bad guy took out his gun and killed him!
After the hero was arrested, he was shot immediately. The wife was locked up and died in prison. The daughter also went to jail with her mother and was later released. The point is that the bad guy himself lay in the bathtub and committed suicide. As soon as the opening and the end of the film echo, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who is forgiven by the heavens!
The whole movie is saying that under the bad social background, the heroes of the country, the citizens, including the intellectuals in the middle, are all too small to be able to do anything! This pot can only be carried by the Bolsheviks, can only be carried by the Soviet government, can only be carried by Stalin, and can only be carried by the socialist system.
This person, shake the pot, really!
The Soviet Union disintegrated in December 1991, and the film was released in May 1994. I can't help but say that Mikhalkov really hurryed.
Sure enough, the film won the 94 Cannes Jury Prize and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film the following year.
Director Jiang Wen is actually on the same line as Mikhalkov. Whether in "The Sun Is Shining" or "The Sun Rises", he is used to expressing the feelings of the right wing in the language and identity of the left wing. Basically they are saying that I have done bad things, but only because I was so stupid and naive at the time!
This extends to a large number of memoirs or biographies about the Cultural Revolution that I have seen. The leaders of the Red Guards who had done no evil in those days all denounced Jiang Qing for harming others and the Gang of Four had annihilated their humanity. As for Mao, at least it is for the tiger! We are all innocent.
Even those who do evil are innocent, those who do not do evil are of course commendable, and those who are persecuted are heroes or martyrs!
It's disgusting!
How did the Soviet counter-revolutionary movement develop from the criminal investigation of the murderer of Kirov to the massacre that killed two million people. Is it all Stalin's idea? In the movie, isn't he himself who killed the hero? Is there someone else who killed the bad guys?
How did China's Cultural Revolution develop from a movement to correct ideology to a frenzied spree of destruction by the whole people. Is it all hairy pot? At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Mao published an editorial in the People’s Daily. He mentioned that this is a contradiction among the people, not a contradiction between ourselves and the enemy. Do not persecute the good people. Bad cadres are only a minority. Scientists and technicians must criticize and criticize. To unite, we must not forget to engage in production while grasping the revolution, and it is emphasized that we must fight in literature instead of fighting by force!
In fact, anyone with a little bit of historical knowledge knows that apart from the suppression of the Soviet Union and the Cultural Revolution in China, there was also Robespierre in France, and Joseph McCarthy in the United States. Especially the latter is almost a neurosis.
Different political systems bring about the same political tragedies, because the political system can only change the way the country operates, but it cannot change the evil of human nature. Every fanatic movement is an extreme liberation of human nature, and this kind of natural liberation often allows people to find excuses for their barbarism when they are crazy! I don't believe that an evil person is totally unaware that he is doing evil. You are humiliating a rightist 15-year-old daughter. Do you really think that she is the class enemy that the leader wants to eliminate? You are beating a 70-year-old scholar, do you really think he is the poisonous weed of socialism in your heart? No, you know that you are wrong, you just enjoy using your power to trample on nobility.
Tell me about the movie I respect, Mr. Xie Jin's "Furong Town". Look at the film’s personality, rich peasant widows and right-wing artists love each other, rural sluggards are speculators, the manager of the trendy children in the movement, the party secretary with tormented character, and the director of the grain station with a conscience and bottom line.
What's interesting is that it is different from the sexual repression of that real era. The director used sex to connect each character. The widow and the artist were unmarried and became pregnant during the persecution. The party secretary was the widow’s first love. The female manager had a sexual interest in the director of the grain station. The bed of the female manager. After the Cultural Revolution was over, the government returned the house and money to the widow. The widow just cried, "Return my man!"
What I want to say is that this is human nature. As for the persecution of others, in the movie, it is because of human nature. The commentary said that Director Xie Jin was "sorrowful but not angry". This is because we have reasons to be angry about politics, but we can only express sorrow about human nature.
The reversal of the story is here. In February this year, "Reference News" saw Mikhalkov's call for the disintegration of the Soviet Union and called on the national level to criminalize the policies implemented by Soviet President Gorbachev and the first Russian President Yeltsin.
I really want to ask him face to face, Master, what is your free position?
If Russia develops successfully now, no one will miss the Soviet Union. If there is no economic crisis in the United States, Trump and Sanders will not be so happy. On the other hand, if today, our society starts to miss the Cultural Revolution and Mao Zuo is in power, then please don't talk about doctrines, all tm is selfish and despicable humanity!
