At that time, the accent and speech of all people in the world were the same.
When they moved eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
They consulted with each other and said, "Come on, let's make bricks and burn them through." They took the bricks for stones, and the lacquer for plaster.
They said, "Come, let us build a city and a tower, whose top will reach into the sky, that we may declare our name, lest we be scattered throughout the earth." The
LORD came to see the city and the tower that the world had built.
The LORD said, "Look! They have become one people, and they all speak the same language. Now that they have done this, nothing they will do later will be unfulfilled.
Let us go down and confuse their accents there. so that their words could not understand one another."
So the LORD scattered them over the whole earth from there; and they stopped working and did not build the city.
Because the LORD confounded the words of the people of the world there, and scattered all the people over the whole earth, so the name of the city was Babel (meaning "confusion")
¬—The record of chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis was
solemnly brought out The original text of the Bible, in fact, did not want to discuss the "Tower of Babel" that was said to be rotten again, but felt that another Korean movie "Oasis" could not be beaten. Of course, I did not devalue the "Tower of Babel". ”, it’s just different expressions and acceptances between the East and the West, dear Alessandro Gonzalez Inaritu, although your name will make me suffer from asthma, I still have to plagiarize your other A movie "Love is a bitch", let me change it to "Family is a bitch".
Sorry, dear Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito, sorry to compare your Babel again, well, multi-line narrative, with just a shotgun Three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, ah no, four places and twelve people are connected together, not only did they not get caught in the Mahler Gobi (Morocco), the AV Paradise (Japan), the capitalist lair (the United States), and the donkey dung egg pit (Mexico) for a while. ) was so dizzy, sticking to the claws, that instead, it was like riding in a car, flying through the Nine Heavens. Well, it's really awesome, and compared to "Oasis", the storytelling of oriental people follows the logic of "two flowers bloom, one for each", so few oriental movies touch "multi-line narrative". , in my impression, only a certain director surnamed Zhang was playful, and he steamed the hard and fragrant ham mooncakes into soft, bloody scallion stuffed buns. Speaking of "Oasis", the standard traditional two-line narrative structure, the authentic and old story of the wandering Romeo and the lonely Juliet, met, knew each other, fell in love, and finally forced to separate because of secular and family factors. The story mode of "putting it all over the world is abusing the heart, and the ancients abused the modern people". Only this time, it seems that the part of the abuse is not the same.
This time, Romeo - just released from the Laogai, simple-minded, idle, his family is cold-hearted, and he doesn't even tell him when he moves, he just thinks about throwing this burden and counting, people don't like dogs. This time, Juliet, a patient with severe cerebral palsy, has a twisted face, hands and feet twitching, she can't speak well, and basically has no human form. Her brother raised her only to deceive the government to provide welfare housing for the disabled. What's worse, Romeo didn't kill Juliet's father, but Juliet's father was killed. Everyone thought that Romeo killed Juliet's father, but Romeo couldn't tell others about himself. It wasn't Juliet's father who was killed. do you understand? I didn't get it myself, so please skip to the next two paragraphs.
The fixed long lens is aimed at the exotic embroidered landscape painting, the embroidered scene is a desert like wind and wheat waves, and on the only oasis, Indian women, little black and little black Asan, and elephants dance in circles. , the painting is shrouded in swaying tree shadows, and the title subtitles jumped unhurriedly for nearly three minutes under this monotonous (in fact, very important) background picture, and the story is based on Romeo's punishment for killing Juliet's father. At the beginning of the release, Romeo wiped his nose and exhaled cold air, but he was only wearing a ghost T-shirt. Seeing that he couldn't bear the cold, he used all the money to go to the street stall to buy some clothes, but put it in his bag and put it away. After finally eating Bawang's meal, he entered the police station and alerted the family who had moved home. When he got home, he hurriedly put on his mother's clothes. His mother asked him why he wore so little in winter. He lowered his head sadly and raised his head. But it was: "Because it was summer when I went in, but unfortunately it was winter when I came out." For so many years, "the old friend came without a word, and there were few people behind bars." That's it, spoiler here.
Juliet twisted her clawed body and imagined that the sunlight reflected in the mirror turned into white doves flying in her old and mottled house, but her brother was leaving and moved to apply in the name of her disability. When I arrived at the big new house, I just didn’t take her away, leaving her to rot here and fend for itself. Occasionally, neighbors and couples would simply run under her nose to flirt with her, “What are you afraid of? , how does she know what we are doing?" But whether you believe it or not, she does know "what does it mean if a woman tells a man that I want to sleep with you". Outside the door was an increasingly violent storm, but leaning against the door, she couldn't even control her hands to wipe away her tears. So, she couldn't hold back any longer, struggling for a long time before taking off the calling card that Romeo had clipped to the mirror. Now she just needs a hug, even if he actually wants to rape herself.
"Your name is really a princess?", "Yes", "As a princess, you look a bit..."
"I am the descendant of the general, the eighteenth grandson of General Hong Jinglai.", " Hong Jinglai is not a general, but a traitor." Either the
ugly princess or the traitor general, in short, she became his princess and he became her general.
He pushed his princess to attend his mother's birthday party, and the older brother said, "This is a party that only family members can attend." That's right, that's why he pushed the princess, and the older brother said, "You beat me to death, the old man. Your daughter brought me here, didn’t you deliberately look bad on me?” But he wanted his brother to know, “My brother has a job and is the only source of income for the family. He has a wife and children to support, and there are 10,000 people who can’t go to jail. The reason is that I have nothing to do and have a criminal record. I am willing to go to jail for my brother. However, I brought the princess today to tell everyone that the princess will be my wife in the future, and she will be a family with us, not a family member. She's here to embarrass you." The princess was not allowed to take family portraits, and neither did I. My brother said, "Let him go, without him, it would be nothing."
She watched her general be misunderstood, scuffled, and treated as a traitor. She was so excited that she couldn't speak. She could only keep banging herself against the wall. Instead of hugging her, her brother held her down and told She: "Just hold on for a while, just hold on for a while." Because my brother has not yet received the compensation of 20 million (the general's brother heard this request and announced that he would break away from the brotherhood with the general). The elder brother saw the enemy who killed his father crawling on the body of his cerebral palsy sister, how could he believe that this is the person who loves and loves his sister, who washes her hair, washes clothes, and brings her to dinner (although was rejected), dancing in the middle of the expressway, singing karaoke, and in one day, I gave my sister a happiness that she had never had in her entire life, and she was willing to give everything for him, even her body.
However, if he doesn't say it, she can't say it.
When the general tried his best to escape from the prison, I thought he would go far away, but he went straight to the downstairs of the princess' house and saw the police guarding the rabbits. The princess said the shadows of the branches on her walls made her so scared that she couldn't sleep, so he was going to run back and saw them off before going to jail. The princess was speechless, so she could only let go of the love song on the radio, loudest, even as an answer to love. . The policeman asked, "Why are you doing this." He just shouted "Princess, Princess" loudly.
Or, the misunderstanding and estrangement that Easterners want to express is not at the language level that Westerners understand.
Howard Suber wrote in the book "The Power of Cinema": "We go to the cinema not to see a world, but to see a just world." I am puzzled. In such a film, it is clearly crooked. "Family is a son of a bitch" was shown on every frame of the film, so I couldn't sleep, I watched it carefully in the middle of the night, I was sure I could always see the words in the video, and the whole scene was shockingly the word "just"! I searched and searched, and finally at the beginning of the film, the male protagonist-Jong Doo (it seems that I have only mentioned his real name now), just got out of prison, looking for raw white tofu all over the world to eat, contacting another Korean movie " Kind Jin Zi", Jin Zi was also imprisoned for the crime of others, but at the gate of the prison, she knocked over the white tofu handed over by the priest. In Korea, when she was released from prison, she must eat white tofu to symbolize that after she was released from prison Will be reformed and clean. Jin Zi knew that she would never be innocent again because she wanted revenge. But Zhong Doo is different. He was innocent when he went in. After the film ended, Zhong Doo returned to the prison, but he was still innocent. Even this time he had someone to write to. The princess read him with optimism. The letter, the dandelion flew into the old house that she was clumsily and happily cleaning, like an oasis in the desert where catkins fluttered, the princess twisted and crouched on the general's back, the exotic music remembered, the princess stretched her claws and shrank. Her body was even more beautiful than she had imagined. She nimbly turned over her lower back and pulled up the general. The Indian woman, Xiao Hei Xiao Hei's Asan, and an elephant appeared in turn, surrounded them in a circle, and danced cheerfully together. , like dolls and bears dancing hoops ••••••
Unless, of course, it's a sci-fi movie.
