I saw a lot of comments talking about "absurd" and "funny". I can understand absurdity, but I can't understand funny at all. When I saw it, I was so anxious, and I didn't feel any funny at all.
The more absurd I get, the more anxious I get.
I guess this movie activated my mirror neurons. During the whole process, I kept asking myself, what should I do at this time?
What should I do when someone pointed a gun at his head and begged to guard something?
It is found that there are two big living people in the bag, and they are Japanese and translators. What should I do at this time?
What should I do if no one comes to pick it up in a few days?
What if the two people propose this kind of agreement?
These are all anxious enough.
Then change the other side:
what should I do if the motherland sends me out to fight?
What should I do if I was caught and stuffed into a burlap pocket when I was at war?
Someone feeds me every day but keeps discussing how to kill me. What should I do?
I watched the movie while introspecting:
the villagers who nodded and bowed and yelled "Mensai" are ugly, it is foolish to make dumplings for Japanese and translators, and clamor that the glorious Japanese are brainwashed and sit in the bathhouse. It is absurd to talk about the legendary servants, and the storytellers who hide in the corner and say that this is a good story are inferior in nature.
I feel guilty when I look at it.
As a modern bystander, I should have a higher realm, but what should I do when facing similar problems?
Jiang Wen’s starting point may be to truly show the War of Resistance against Japan, show the situation of the people at the time, and the situation of the Japanese army at that time, so that everyone can see this helplessness, absurdity and terror, and then reflect on the war.
But I think that by this year, wars or wars similar to World War II are no longer the main crisis. But there are also absurd things in life that can kill people.
Someone has compiled a long list of all kinds of strange methods of death these days.
In modern society, people enjoy all kinds of modern conveniences, and they also bear the risks of modernization, including science and technology as well as humanities.
The threat even no longer comes from others, but from everything we are relying on.
I don't know how to deal with the people in those two pockets, nor how to deal with the increase in pork prices and the rear-end train.
I always feel that, in the face of real threats, I am as at a loss as the villagers, as shameful and ridiculous as the villagers.
It's so anxious.
