During my business trip at the Shanghai Children’s Book Fair, I went to see Lee Ang’s new film "Billy Lynn’s Midfield Battle" at midnight. This was probably the most frustrating movie-watching experience in my life. It was not because the film was not good, but Yes, I was completely filled with despair, and I watched a whole movie with a trembling heart, just like the rain in the middle of the night in Shanghai. Everyone is an island. This movie tells a conversation between a 19-year-old soldier who has been engulfed by war and his destiny. In fact, it is also a conversation between Ang Lee and his own destiny. A battlefield hero who has been added by glory, participated in a football match halftime show that should have been highly anticipated, but he has experienced the longest day of his life. Every minute of the whole movie is spent in despair, because countless people "come to praise you for the hardest day of your life". All these praises are so empty, like fireworks bursting in the sky, beyond life and country. The so-called spirit was so unbearable at that moment. Everyone who needs you to fight to death is like everybody who needs you to celebrate. Praise, sympathize, ridicule, ridicule you, even if it is a minute, you can’t leave your lover because of your so-called With the hero's halo and your skin, no one pays attention to your embarrassment and despair. In order to prove that he is the hero in the eyes of the people, he had to pay all his youth for the meaningless war he had long recognized. He also had to return to the battlefield, waiting for the trigger that had been destined to shoot himself in that fate. This was his irreversible destiny. This is his life as a soldier, he has to continue to face the life he chose. Just like Ang Lee in the real world, he can't escape the battlefield of movies and life, and like everyone of us, can't escape the linear life trajectory. Once on the road, he must continue to walk and continue to lose. In this film, Ang Lee takes the despair that everyone is an island to the extreme. He is really cruel. If I could meet him, I would definitely be as if he went to meet his spiritual idol Ingmar Bergman in the most difficult years and cried. Everyone is an island. This sentence has always been my motto in the past. I am pessimistic because of it and strong because of it, but I have become accustomed to accepting this cruelty and stop licking my pessimism. Because of Ang Lee, he used a whole movie to continuously arouse my inner despair. On the high-speed rail back to Beijing, I saw a friend who often worked overtime passed away due to illness. He got off the south station of the high-speed rail early in the morning and encountered the first snow in Beijing in winter. I left home for a business trip. It has been 6 days since I left my child. At that moment, I was extremely panicked, the cold wind was in my bones, my body and mind were bitter, and the great sense of emptiness and despair made me at a loss. I was thinking along the way, how will you live on the island that has gradually moved away from the mainland, my child. Live a life on an isolated island. A gloomy week leading to an island of courage, and the busy work itself made this despair slowly disappear. Early this morning, I went to watch Disney’s latest animation "Moana", and I discovered that the poison buried in "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is only this new Disney movie with 100% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes.com. Can be solved. Even, it gives the mental solution to get out of the island and return to the island. Maybe there is a little chicken soup. For my children, I am willing to kill this bowl of chicken soup. I will take him to watch this movie this weekend. I will not tell him anything about the island, but I still hope that he may grow up and find it less panicked and not so desperate. "Pocahontas" really happened on an isolated island in the South Pacific. The heroine Moana is the daughter of a chief who has been hurt by the sea. She has been told repeatedly that the sea is dangerous and cannot be crossed casually while growing up. On the reef, she and her people live on this isolated island where there is no food and no food. The chief would rather she stay on the isolated island than set sail. However, Moana did not stay on the isolated island. She listened to her inner voice, the call of the ocean, and went against her father's wishes. For the future of the people, she mustered up the courage to break through the barriers of the isolated island and chose to sail. Complete the mission of returning to the Heart of the Sea to save the tribe. Mo Anna is the vigorous girl who can rekindle the flame of hope for me. I even feel that my worry about my son is unnecessary. Even if he encounters an isolated island, he can listen to the call of his heart and connect with the world with love. Resolve the despair and sorrow of the island. In other words, all the isolated islands in the world are just what the isolated island thinks. However, the reason why life flourishes is because they are always full of courage and hope. As long as you can follow your inner voice and release love and respect to the world, the lonely islands of life are actually connected under the sea, and we are not so lonely. Trial and error itself is part of the right Yes, why not try a new way to combat this islanding effect? Why not use a new posture to face life? Generations of Disney princesses are so beautiful and elegant, to be a perfect person waiting for a perfect love and destiny. How I hope that my child is like Moana, even if he is not white and beautiful, but has thick short legs, he can still deal with his life in an uncharacteristic way, perhaps regardless of political correctness. , Don’t be elegant and generous, I hope you are a true and complete you, an imperfect but pursuit of excellence, you are not afraid of failure, not afraid of discarding the stock. Go out, look at the outside world, see the good, but also the ugly. Break through the boundaries of cognition and live the life you want with your greatest enthusiasm. Even if you always make mistakes, it is the answer that belongs to your life that you find in your own way. Maybe it's because I'm too pessimistic, maybe it's because I'm too nervous, maybe I prematurely predetermined life for you. In fact, I should have understood that there are some mistakes, and only if you encounter them and solve them yourself, that is the life you should experience. All the tastes of life should be tasted by your own choice, and if you want to live the so-called right life, you will find that all those brave trial and error are also a right part of your life. So, go fucking pessimistic, live the life you want in your own way, go fucking desperate, anyway, fate is like this, it's better to live a happy life. So, thank you-Ang Lee! I have forgotten all the sadness and despair that you passed on to me at this moment. Today is Thanksgiving. Thank you to the teams of "Zoo City", "Frozen" and "Big Hero Heroes". On this day, I will give my son and me a gift. It is your battlefield to greet you. I hope you can be like Mo Like Ana, use your own wisdom and courage to meet your battle. Even if you have to face the lonely long road from the moment you leave your mother’s body, I hope that the power that I have prepared for you is enough to gently push you at the fork in your life, and can help you release Go back to the heart of the ocean that belongs to you, and spend your life on the island of existence or absence in peace. At the same time, the editorial team and design team of CITIC Children’s Book, who returned from the Shanghai Children’s Book Fair, also adopted a brand-new concept and aesthetic system to produce the "Pocahontas" series of children’s books. A subversive surprise. With brain-opening intelligence and thinking training, a completely innovative and enjoyable reading experience, and an unprecedented combination of books, we will continue the touch of the screen with you.
In the end, I used the "Gift" by Milosz translated by my friend Nishikawa as the end of this film review. I also hope that one day you will grow up and understand the true meaning of it. "Gift" Poem/Miwash Nishikawa/Translated Such a happy day. The fog cleared early in the morning, and I worked in the garden. Hummingbirds are resting on honeysuckle flowers. There is nothing in this world that I want to possess. I know no one is worthy of my envy. Any misfortune I have suffered, I have forgotten. It is not embarrassing to think that I am one and the same today. There is no pain in me. Straightening up, I saw the blue sea and the shadow of sails. (The version I translated before will no longer be posted here, and I apologize for the trouble caused to readers)
