The carnival of "imagination"

I have a friend who went to a bank after graduation and worked as a receptionist. So from time to time in the Moments of Friends, there will be words of resentment towards a certain stupid customer, but she may not remember that she once complained about a bank’s treatment of her. The answer to the question was too simple, which made her feel perfunctory. So we have to ask, in this highly acclaimed movie, what does the director really want to express? Do you want to tell a complete and compact story, or do you want to use social reality to express your personal aspirations? If it is the former, then the film can be awarded 3 stars, if it is the latter, I am afraid it can only be awarded two stars, but it is obvious-the director's demand is the latter. Otherwise, you will not be able to explain the numerous technical flaws in the film, including how a student invaded the TV station system, how to create such a small but highly lethal headset bomb, and how to accurately fit the headset into the ears of the fat official... …How incompetent is the National Security Department, it can't even break through the technology of a college student, and how ignorant it is that even "I'm just a construction worker" can make such a sophisticated terrorist attack such a huge question. The investigation, how blindly, actually followed the terrorist's plan step by step, and almost obediently met his requirements... After watching it for more than a month, there are still so many flaws that I can recall, let alone other. Therefore, the goal of the director is obviously not to engage in a rigorous basic reasoning, but to try to use this story to criticize the social reality and expose the political operation-but unfortunately, such wishful thinking can only It is a carnival of imagination, a kind of speculation that blind people touch the elephant. If there is a president of any country in the world who will appear in a prescribed place at a prescribed time and apologize according to the requirements of terrorists, then the security department of this country must be monkeys-since terrorists have the ability to install bombs in this studio, How can you believe that he will not blow up the president himself-but it is not important to ordinary people. Their appeal is: "All you have to do is a simple apology, and you can save countless lives. Why do you just Don't want to show up?" It seems that terrorists are a group of people who keep their promises and "apologize" for the lofty or secondary goals, and make unremitting efforts. Then we can see a high-level policeman full of brains, as if satisfying people’s imagination, published a tough statement that is ridiculous both politically and operationally, creating a perfect "high position on the opposite side of the people" for us. The image of the person in power is really an imaginative carnival. Everything is so perfect to satisfy our imagination. Of course, he was also blown up happily, and people became more satisfied. Italian foot. Sometimes people just want to see the ugly side of society—strictly speaking, it’s the ugly side of society in their minds. They have to admit that this is also a good way to satisfy their moral sense, but with this "no one" To describe reality and even political issues from the perspective of a good person is naive to take for granted. It’s not just people, but the environment, and the system that destroys humanity. That’s why "Flying Over the Cuckoo’s Asylum" has become a classic but the film cannot. It is the crudest narrative method that separates people from the environment and the system. Regardless of the system, it must not remain in the simple description of Conan’s kind of "the descendants of politicians are also politicians, and the descendants of bankers are also bankers"-because these various descriptions do not help us to be vigilant. The reforming effect of the system on people is just like the neat dress and housekeeping of a soldier. Behind it is the absoluteness of discipline and the insignificance of individuality. Just like the bank requires you to smile and treat customers, but you have already scolded your ancestors for the eighteenth generation. In the end, these details that you ignored have gradually transformed you, and at this time you will stand up and curse "The system is wrong" and it will be very hypocritical. The score of the film and the many comments that "China can’t make this kind of film" are completely understandable. Even the literal meaning of the latter is not wrong, but you can’t speak without context. If you think of the film Faithful reflection of social reality, then I have to say-this is really not reality. PS: I am very dissatisfied with the director's deliberate blurring and weakening of the personal image of terrorists. No matter how much humiliation the individual has suffered, this way of harming civilians can only confirm Lu Xun’s words, the timid are angry, Knife is more towards the weak-any person who has a trace of sympathy for the behavior of this second-year young man rather than the encounter is the most cruel to himself, because you may become the person on the broken bridge at any time. The description does not help us to guard against the reforming effect of the system on people. Just like the uniform dress and housekeeping of a soldier, behind it is the absoluteness of discipline and the insignificance of personality, just like the bank requires you to smile and treat customers. But in your heart I have scolded my ancestors for 18 generations. In the end, these details that you overlooked have gradually transformed you.
