I saw someone on the Internet saying that an ideal city would have cafes, salons, perfumes, opera houses, plane trees and revolutions. It sounds like Paris. But removing the perfume is more like describing Britain in 1930.
In France, freedom is written on the national flag. Even if the society is dying to death, young people can still indulge in the house like Eva Green, smirking and smashing the drunk champagne bottle at the soldiers downstairs. But in the UK, even after 80 years, society has stabilized today, and intellectuals still love to discuss class, loyalty, political compromise, and the relationship between individuals and groups. What caused me to think this way was a movie I didn't finish watching, called "Classmate Love". To put it simply, a boy fell in love with another boy, but was not allowed around, so they went to the Soviet Union. From then on they bear another name, called Traitor.
Under the capitalist system, communism is as weird and shameless as homosexuality. The inexplicable appearance must of course be destroyed or corrected with guns. This is not a special subject. I have seen a lot of gay movies, so I can easily see that the director's cleverness is to use the topic of homosexuality as a fish bone in the changing times. Because under the traditional system, the emergence of homosexuality is like a perverse sample of resistance. Even if he doesn't make a difference, he will feel ashamed and at a loss under the gaze of everyone. But one day, homosexuality will no longer cover up, and instead rush towards the crowd in an open manner. The crowd will be surprised, and then unanimously criticize. Helplessly, this world likes to divide camps, and the same value will have two completely different treatments in different camps. This point is explained very well in The Reader. A good tram conductor will also be a good concentration camp guard. The only difference is that the work assigned under different systems is different. In other words, who you are working for.
In Britain in 1930, betrayal and loyalty were just relative values. What betrayed and who you are loyal to is the key. Therefore, even if the love of the same sex and the love of the opposite sex are essentially love, others are more concerned about whether you stand in a straight line or a curved line. Since men and women used to hug and hug each other, Amitabha is a sin for men to love men and women to love women. At that time, the ideas in the minds of the bourgeoisie were surprisingly the same as those of Asenbach in "Nazi Madness." Before he got rid of Constantine, he instilled Hegel's idea: the country had to crush the flowers of innocence. , If this flower hinders its way. But the very pleasant thing about this movie is that there is a flower that doesn't want to be crushed in vain-he ran away.
Bennett gave up the country because he couldn't get love. For him, this was just an escalation of revenge after sex was suppressed, and had nothing to do with treason. The country did not give him anything, before being crushed, he would rather choose to betray. This is like an exaggerated irony. A person cannot choose his sexual orientation. This is a natural thing, but you just think it can be corrected. Just like a country that was born unable to choose him, if he joins another nationality, he is a traitor and a traitor. So, if he chooses to love women again, what is it? Change evil and return to righteousness? The prodigal son turned around? In fact, this is also a betrayal. People are born with no habit of accommodating special cases. The first reaction to seeing something unique is to try to assimilate. Continuous revolution, continuous crusade, while eradicating heretics, while standing on the archway of human civilization sing the praises of revolution. Poetic dwelling, barbaric plunder.
At this point, I suddenly thought of the Chinese system. Just now I was still discussing with the girl that under the current political system, it is difficult for literary and art workers to take a breath. You can neither offend the government, but also entertain the people, and you have to be careful not to make a bad movie, just watching the Cultural Revolution. You just can't touch the big scar. But tickling is still okay, so the Chinese audience's screen rolled over one beautiful edge ball after another. Hegemonism will always exist, but the form is different, the argument is different, and the ruler is different. Look at it higher, and so does the gay community. Even now, with the liberation of the mind for so many years, the only progress is that homosexuality will not be caught in jail, but heterosexual hegemony still exists and is clamoring. But existence cannot be ignored in vain, so some people start to use their brains to resist silently, such as embedding a circle of lace on the rigid and sluggish uniform. This is the practice in the world's first lesbian movie "Girls in Uniform", calm and clever.
Besides, extreme individualism like Bennett is bound to be a tragedy in a highly institutionalized society like Britain. When you are on your own and outnumbered, you must be the first to sacrifice. So you either run away or revolutionize. But don't forget that revolution needs violence and weapons, and revolution also needs the body of revolutionaries.
Chairman Mao once taught us that a blank sheet of paper is good for painting the most beautiful pictures. Therefore, no matter how the times change, some people are still Chairman Mao's good children. Constantly delete the evils of the past, force the blueprint for prosperity in front of you, eliminate heretics, and eliminate the ghosts and monsters. Of course, the Red Book does not need it. It is a formal error. Oh, didn’t you mean homosexuality? Well, we accept homosexuality. You are a woman, of course you can love a woman, but you must marry a man in the end.
