Freud got enlightenment from King Oedipus and published his famous theory about the "father-killing complex", but the magnificent Troy and its doomed destruction seem to be no one cares about. People talk about the beauty of Helen and the bravery of Achilles and Hector, and the war between heroes and gods. No one seems to realize that a miracle has been turned into ruins-in fact today It seems that this fact has the greatest symbolic meaning.
The movie "Troy" this last monologue is wonderful - if anyone asks, I'll say I live in the era of the hero Achilles, I would say I live in the era of the hero Hector ......
Aka Okinawa S and Hector, they are the well-deserved protagonists of the Battle of Troy, although they occupy a little bit of the chapter in the long epic. At this point, no one would say that this monologue is out of question. But the point is that everything presented to us in the film has changed.
Brad Pitt is a typical Hollywood lone ranger. The sword he stabbed over the head of the big guy is indeed beautiful, but that is no longer the way of the ancient Greek heroes. When the ancient Greek warriors stood face to face, they might not be incapable of avoiding the opponent's blade, but they chose head-to-head, heavier shields and harder armor. In an era when cold weapons are praised, no one fights guerrilla warfare. This is not about wisdom, but about spirit. Just like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms period, when he went to the enemy’s battle, the opponent who knew he was not invincible was not really lacking in tactics, but he could not avoid fighting, he could not huddle in the trench or behind the city wall, so he had to die. . Death belongs to a glorious and a more distant future. Those children and grandchildren who have to feel humble when they mention the names of their ancestors are destined to take revenge for their fathers and bear the mission of the family. Therefore, the death order of the ancestors They are born extraordinary, and if they choose to retreat, his children and grandchildren will always live in shame.
So heroes belong to cold weapons, heroes belong to aristocrats with a long origin, and belong to descendants of gods. I don’t know how modern urbanites with surnames of more than three generations can understand the meaning of these two words. Nowadays, the hero is left with only one gorgeous move.
Hector, played by Eric Barner, is indeed the most impeccable hero in the play, and his performance is quite satisfactory. In mythology, it was he who saved the Trojans under the oppression of the powerful enemy with his own power time and time again. The bloody courage of the hero was exchanged for invincible morale, not just his own glory. In this regard, the Japanese do a lot better than Hollywood directors.
In fact, this was a war without a victor. In this war, far more than Achilles and Hector were killed. Troy and the best fighters in Greece were almost killed and wounded, and finally destroyed Troy. Most of the Greeks died on their way home, with very few survivors. This reminds me of the battle between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin on Kawanaka Island. It was also an absurd war. It was also the two most powerful armies and countless best fighters. The front arrow was hanging against the car, and it was the same ending. , But in "Heaven and Earth" we see the latter highlighting the meaning of heroes. In the final picture, the hero does not fall sadly in the woman's arms, but Iki takes the lead in leading the defeated warriors through the enemy's camp. We saw Takeda Shingen's cherry-colored army spears lined up like waves unwinding, and Uesugi Kenshin's black cavalry traveled through it calmly-this may be an impossible scene in reality, but it is the most classic interpretation of heroes.
Of course, the ancient Greeks and the Japanese understood different heroes, so here is not a historical comparison. What I want to say is that we are standing here together. At this moment, today of globalization, each of us looks back on the origins of our respective civilizations and those glorious times, but we get different answers. We can ridicule and despise the so-called ancient Greek warriors. They burned and looted after breaking the city are no more humane than the fascist thugs. When they compete for the spoils, they are just like the robbers sharing the spoils, but we can’t erase it. The look of Chloes stepping on the waves. History always leaves some representative names, and omits countless blood and fire figures behind it, which should not be surprising. Compared with the strength and blood of the ancient warriors, technology has brought us a much ugly victory: a bullet has greatly changed the definition of strength and weakness. Whether you are irritable or quiet, you must follow the same rules. No one will respond to the scolding, no one will solve the problem by single-handedly, and there is no beauty in dying under airplanes and cannons. No, it's not that I am looking for fun in such cruel things, but it is precisely that people have repeatedly underestimated the importance of aesthetics in our lives. If you have enough insight, you can indeed find that human beings arrange their own processes in a beautiful way. Until the law of technology turns beauty into a decoration, just like a Hollywood movie, just like that dazzling move.
It is the fear of mediocrity and emptiness that makes people so willing to make heroes, but the sad thing is that people have long forgotten the true meaning of heroes. Good people died in the hands of cowards, warriors died in the hands of women, and in the end all the heroes of Troy died. Only the pleading and crying of a bereaved old man could return some sympathy. The so-called big production is only four. Funeral and ruins.
