Control: Who owns destiny

Suddenly, Mo Yan was on fire. After years of immersing in literature, he suddenly became famous. I was afraid that this was something he could not predict. Even a month ago, he himself did not believe that such good things would happen to him on Weibo. To a large number of intellectuals who checked Weibo at night, they were very unconvinced with this award, because outside of literature, Mo Yan not only had an official position in the political system, but also made some outstanding achievements. Disdainful things, such as copying that infamous literary speech, and disrespectful to independent writer Dai Qing in Frankfurt. This ambiguity with politics has reduced the quality of his award a lot. As a writer, he could have raised his head a little higher, and could have avoided doing those furious things, but he did it anyway. Then, he should accept everyone's criticism.



If Mo Yan had known for a long time that he would go down in history, would soon be awarded the Nobel Prize, and would become a world-class writer, would he still do those disdainful behaviors? He didn't care about his feathers, so even if he won the prize, he still had a shit in his ass. If you do it again, will he go to the things that make people feel sick?



I watched "Control" a while ago, and it seemed like I simply wrote it down, but in the end I encountered something like Mo Yan winning the lottery. So I picked out the theme of "Control" and compared it with it to prove the absurdity of life and destiny.



"Control" is really a very good script, tells a very beautiful story, and contains a deep philosophy of life. But it is a pity that the director's ability to control has turned a top-notch script into a second-rate suspense story. Moreover, the starring is not strong enough, which has seriously delayed the story's retreat, and has dropped a few grades in expressiveness. What a pity!



A cold-blooded assassin who didn't blink, he was indifferent to his own life and death, but suddenly became humane because of taking a medicine, learned to cry, learned to repent, learned to start from scratch, and come back to life. The power of this transformation does not come from religion, nor does it receive enlightenment, it is just a kind of medicine. But when he wanted to seriously start living a normal life. When he became dependent on this medicine, he learned that the medicine he took was just dough and did not have any medicinal value. This suddenly revealed that all the changes in his human nature were just the psychological hints that he gave himself. When you don't want to change, it will be your old life. As a cold-blooded animal like him, you will continue to be cold-blooded, without the slightest feeling in life. When you want to make a change, your heart has changed, and psychologically, you have produced a huge hint to yourself, telling you that you can no longer be the same as before, everything must change. So you start to change. It is not impossible for a cold-blooded killer to become a good person, but just a small transformation of his mood.



What "Control" wants to control is only one's own mind. However, the movie gave a pessimistic ending, that is, no matter how hard the male pig's feet tried to change himself, or to pay for his previous debts, he was shot to death in the wild, but his efforts to change failed to materialize.



As for Mo Yan, now he is considered accomplished. As a writer, will he confess next?
