This makes Lao Mei different from the general bombing of satellites in space, going to the deep sea to find aircraft carriers, fire trucks to protect planes, and save the world, American heroes who are pursuing all living beings. He is not responsible for defending the country, but just protecting the family-this is Lao Mei’s. Naturalism. Naturalism is a good thing, water and sun, wind and beach, flying fish and seagulls, coconut trees whirling in the moonlight... But if you go too far, just like those vegetarians, those radical green people, they will get mysticism. , Like bubbles in the water, sunspots in the sun, waves in the sea... and Mel Gibson is unfortunately one of them. Unfortunately, I can understand these guys, although I don't fully agree with them.
Who said that disadvantaged groups always support disadvantaged groups, and natural freaks can always understand freaks. For Indian culture, Mayan civilization, the wisdom that was once so close to nature, not far from the instincts of animals, but also seemed to hear the existence of the language of God, is so attractive to us. Complete it, complete it, complete it... If you have this ability, if you have such an opportunity, let them reappear on the screen with only a willful infatuation, just as unrequited love has been responded to, and infatuation has been rewarded. .
If God ever gave me a chance, I should have studied archaeology-my dream, no ambition, no achievement, just pure infatuation, but the sky in China does not give me such an opportunity, so I can not complete my youth ——Write a classical novel like the ancients, completely recreating the scene of the day. Therefore, when he was filming "The Passion of the Christ", I already understood Lao Mei, whether he spoke in ancient Hebrew or a bizarre story, this was just a dream of him, maybe there is something profound, maybe not, hold up With both hands, just imagine whether you really hear the voice of God?
This movie, of course, uses strange language. If I guess it’s correct, it should be the ancient Mayan language. It seems to be called Yucatan or something.
Civilization, shown to us in museums, are often objects such as utensils and products. The title indicated below is often "In the XXX era, XXX civilization has already possessed superb bronze smelting technology." It seems that the craftsmanship and Science represents culture. This is a strange kind of thinking, but no one questioned it. And I always think that civilization is together with language, emotion and philosophy, a kind of value, social system, and survival mode. If science is always advancing, then civilization is circuitous. When it comes to science, we seldom look back, C, C++, Java, the teacher tells us to go forward again, breakthrough and then breakthrough, advanced and advanced. And culture always needs to be reviewed. Hieroglyphs are more expressive than Roman pinyin. Ancient Greek philosophy is more calm and calm than modern. Chinese people are increasingly unable to read "Laozi" and "Book of Changes", and even banned "Tui Bei Tu". "The reason is that whatever we can't understand right now, it must be feudalism and superstition. Who on earth has let me down?
China may really be dead, just like those ancient civilizations that have passed away, but it is not because of war, because of the climate, because of inexplicable and mysterious reasons, but because its children and grandchildren have turned their backs and were ordered to move forward. Before, Mo looked back. Look at the costume films made by these directors now, look at the lines written by these screenwriters now, and look at how the audience now ignores the swaying tomatoes in the pre-Qin drama. We use the same language as a hundred years ago, but we can no longer express the same exquisiteness and simplicity.
One day, we also need to make an "Apocalypse" to commemorate the ruined civilization.
Back to the movie, did I say this movie is very manly? Oh oh, this doesn't mean I have any opinion on beautiful men in flowers or uncles in flowers. I like gothic novels and also appreciate the things in flowers. Gemini is so divided. To correct it, this movie is very "male", because facing those naked bodies, spears and poisonous needles, melee combat, virgin forests, snakes and beasts, Mayan living sacrifices, in fact, "humans" are not so distinctive. No wonder the protagonist of the movie is called "Leopard Claw". It is said that this man is of Mexican descent, but I don't know whether he memorized the piles of old lines by rote or was born with it. I deliberately checked the man's past, and it turned out to be blank. But this man looks very close to my eyes. Although his abdominal muscles are not so obvious, he has a good nose. The nose is the most representative organ on the human face. Zhou Zheng has a bit of nasal bones on the front. The nostrils are not visible at all. The big nose with the tip of the nose is not too narrow. It has a special attraction to me (including literary works). Examples of images It's Nicky Wu, Leehom Wang, and Alan Rickman. I also like that nose on Tom's face. I generally only say that this type of nose is "sexy", but physiognomy seems to say that it represents "ambition" or "desire for control", because this part of the nose represents "self".
So this is our comrade Leopard Claw. He has a beautiful big nose and a happy family-a small hut, a bare-ass son, and a nearly naked wife who is pregnant. His daily routine is to get up early and go hunting in the forest with his father and brothers, go home and have sex with his wife. Until one day, another group of people passed by "their" forest. Yes, this is the forest of Leopard Claw's family. Wild dogs use urine to circle their territory, and humans use blood. From the group of refugees, Leopard Claw's father noticed something unusual-panic.
Mysticism 1.
After the joy of the evening passed, panic immediately fell on the Leopard Claw tribe. The chief broke in with his son and subordinates. Leopard Claw only had time to hide his wife and children in the cave behind. Later, as it is often written in ancient Chinese history books, women were raped, killed or sold as slaves, men, and the father of leopard claws died, and the remaining people-miraculously not buried alive, they were taken away NS. When passing through a no-man’s land, a big tree suddenly broke, and a child who had suffered from the plague made a prediction that when the day turns to night, the destroyer will appear.
Mysticism 2.
After arriving in Yacheng, we knew that the men actually had no good lives-they were about to make a living sacrifice. There is no such tradition in China, so I saw a samurai painted with blue dregs fixed on all fours to the Pyramid of the Sun. The high priest inserted a bone knife into his body, then took out his heart with his hand, and then Cutting off his head and letting it roll down the steps to the bottom of the pyramid is a disgusting and curious thing. The watershed between Eastern and Western civilizations is probably the attitude towards blood. This is the most fascinating part of this film-such a realism, local actors, local language, real scenes, and the ceremony that has been reproduced after research. Just when the leopard claws were placed on the altar, there was a solar eclipse, and the day turned into night.
Mysticism 3.
Leopard Claw thus escaped the fate of a living sacrifice, and in the subsequent hunts, he successfully escaped. Flew towards home, and went back to protect his family, his territory, and his forest. Naturally, it was a chase afterwards. This is what we can expect from Mel Gibson, strength, speed, incredible endurance, good luck, miracles, wisdom, fighting without too much skill but full of wild power, etc., etc., when we talk about Gibson, it is natural. I will think of it, but there is no tragedy this time.
Mel Gibson is a person who values family, and at the same time, he never underestimates the power of women. Leopard's wife took care of the injured child while her husband was missing, killed the wild monkey that fell into the cave, and gave birth to a child when the cave was about to be flooded by heavy rain, and finally reunited with her husband. The most "man" part of the movie is made by this brave and strong young mother who seems to have a girlish face.
When Leopard Claw finally took his wife and children back to the forest, it was the beginning of the Spanish set foot on this land. We all know that the disappearance of the Mayan civilization was mainly due to climate and natural reasons. The colonists only played a catalytic role. However, from the perspective of Mel Gibson, Leopard Claws shouted, "This forest belongs to me. I am a hunter. When When I leave, my son will hunt in this forest." Like "freedom", it is a declaration. Maybe that day has passed away like the sand between fingers and cannot be repeated, but at least we can commemorate it. And express my sincere appreciation and respect to them.
The rhythm of the whole movie is tight, the scenes are realistic (not always very grand), the actions and special effects are very realistic, handsome guys and beautiful women, it depends on each person's aesthetic orientation. But everyone who likes mysticism, Mayan culture, and man’s temperament, and is not very sensitive to blood plasma and subtitles, can get a promise from this movie that is not a false promise, not a stubborn little love, but also Not a peaceful life and heavy thinking, but a forgotten civilization, a kind of adrenaline-stimulated pleasure, we are too lack of this hormone, really.
