as human society enters the first decade of the 21st century, the so-called radical revolution has already been reflected or denied by mainstream intellectuals in most corners of the world. It is also difficult for those in power and mainstream elites to have the yearning and pursuit of large-scale mass revolutions. In terms of this situation, the communist revolution has fallen into a low ebb and any existing Marxist-Leninist traditional communist social propositions, In the foreseeable future, there will be no more, the majestic force of the October Revolution like a cannon.
Unexpectedly, the European and American movie "Young Trotsky", hereinafter referred to as "The Young Man", is showing the "revolutionary" story of a young Marxist-Leninist "believer" (believers need to quote quotation marks).
When the Chinese people in dire straits no longer believe in the Marxist-Leninist set, what are the foreigners from Europe and the United States running over to join in the fun?
The protagonist of the movie "Youth", because by chance the name is similar to the historical revolutionary Trotsky. So since I was a child, I have regarded myself as Trotsky, thinking that I will do a lot like the trust in history in the future.
Because of this, he posted a chronology on the wall (so that he could think about how to agree with Trotsky at any time), and encouraged the workers of the capitalist father to strike and ask for the organization of a trade union. Pursue a female doctor who is nine years older than him (the first wife Bito in history is nine years older than him).
Later, he was rushed to a public school by his old father. He organized student strikes in public schools, confronted the dictator principals, organized student unions, and finally developed to inspire students to resist the authorities and organize the scattered students. He kidnapped the principals, and finally Successfully let students go to school spontaneously, chanting verbal requirements for the establishment of a student union.
However, the protagonist went to the police station to squat for a few days and was ordered not to attend school in the Ontario area. But the revolutionaries? Don't be afraid of bleeding and killing your head, what's the point of being a prison? He continued to search for Lenin passionately (the next step of the trust plan) in order to carry out this struggle to change the world.
Two
martial arts novels are called adult fairy tales. Fairy tale-like world (good and evil are rewarded, the road sees injustice, draw a knife to help each other), and a realistic life (the weak eat the strong, the wicked gain power, the good are unlucky). , Because in reality we are unable to resist the existing unreasonable order, so we have a look at martial arts novels, and we substitute into martial arts masters, resourceful, suave handsome young men, and sinister enemies, hot beauties." The story of "stunned soul", in order to obtain psychological satisfaction.
When the world feels unbearable, people are used to thinking of themselves as a much stronger self. This self is fearless and fearless, daring to fight against all unreasonable things, and in the end there is always a reward for good and evil. . This movie can be seen as such a psychological reaction (but it cannot be said to be all).
A comedy movie, borrowing the usual "Resurrection" structure, let mediocre middle school students become the great knight "Trotsky" in their own ideas in fantasy.
Analyze from the perspective of psychology-People with weak heart and unstable personality are easy to fantasize about themselves, and often fantasize about themselves as a "tough personality" character.
Adolescence itself is an emotionally changeable age, and it is not like adults with sophistication and hypocrisy; or disguised self-maturity; or being assimilated by society, loudly reprimanding young people for their ideals is useless. Young people themselves are full of passion for change.
It is true that in terms of movies, "entertainment" is only a means, not an end. No matter how bad a movie is, it is impossible to make it purely for ticket sales. I watched the movie twice, the first time was hilarious, and the second time-I saw something worth mentioning in the "trivial and ordinary". And it is especially suitable for a country with very special national conditions like ours.
"The son of man wakes up, he knows that there should be love in the world" (Lu Xun)
Leon (the protagonist) obviously belongs to Lu Xun's writings. The son of man who is awakened, there should be love in the world. His love is her philosophy.
Leon is a lunatic in this normal society. The concepts of social justice, civil rights and freedom in his mouth are completely opposite to the chaotic indulgence of postmodernism, and the state of unbelief living is in stark opposition-each regards each other as a paradox.
Leon was a young man born in the 90s, but he used the Marxist-Leninist theory and discourse. He was the purest and selfless Marxist-Leninist (purely almost pure). He organized a strike by his father's workers and made them oppose his father. My father was angry and thought, "What good is this for you?"
He organized a relatively large student strike, trying to force the principal to agree to the establishment of a student union, but when the students walked out of the classroom, they would naturally not think of "sacrifice." Dedication, revolution, for him" and other words_They just take this as a rare opportunity to go out and have fun, and what they talk about is naturally fashionable topics such as "hosts, fashion shows, and of course, they can't help but take the opportunity to fall in love and kiss." Yes, it’s like having a party. (You can think of the Red Guards series movement in the 1960s. The students’ mouths are revolutionary, Wei Hong. However, many students do not take advantage of the national railways to travel around and play, and then copy others. Home, making money, Mao Zedong inspected the Red Guards several times. Once the inspection activities were over, gold bars and bullion were everywhere in Tiananmen Square).
"Revolution has always been the ambition of a small group of people, the sacrifice of a few, and the product of the fanaticism of the majority. "(A certain scholar).
Leon was confused. "Classmates, what's wrong?" , Don’t you have faith?
"The world is so messy, who will pretend to be pure".
In the student movement that swept Europe and the United States in the 1960s, the slogan of the students was to oppose authority and pursue a personalized life. —But from it, negative things such as "promiscuity, theft, alcoholism, gambling, underworld" and so on were born_capitalist market economy society and the pluralistic society derived from the pluralistic thoughts gave birth to the rolling wave of postmodernism_It is right Resistance to tradition is also the destruction of tradition. Diversity gradually destroys authority, but at the same time it breeds group decadence and depression, because the old authority is no longer strong, and the new authority is no longer powerful. For material but inexperienced young people, this is a fatal temptation.
Among ordinary students (intellectual rather than intellectual) "Confusion and depression are common, that is, you can’t believe in faith, and you don’t want to believe in faith. What is needed is only stimulation-enough to make a boring day, and Proving that they are a stimulus to be alive.
Leon’s high revolution-for them, it is just two mouthfuls of salt on their mouths, and after a stimulation, they are uninteresting. The
three
movies shown in the movies, except Leon, are a depression And the fallen world. (From Leon’s point of view)
The Canadian revolutionaries in the 1960s and 1970s (let's call it the old man ) whom Leon once admired have given up the idea of revolution, and worked as a professor in school with peace of mind, and opened in his spare time. Party,
chat with a few female students. Full of European and American middle-class life. Leon’s favorite heroine (Dreila) has a comfortable life, high education (PhD) but no great ideals and ambitions. Just drink and sing with good friends Dancing, listening to my girlfriends at the bar party talk about having sex with the teenage boy last time, expressing envy-it is really exciting.
Most of his classmates are also immersed in their various enjoyments, and there is no time to participate in Leon His great action (it's probably impossible to think of any responsibilities). When Leon succeeded in kidnapping the principal and asked them to assemble, they looked disdainful, thinking that SB was just fine.
The decline of universal morality makes the hero's idealistic struggle absurd and absurd, but the ordinary breeds greatness, and the absurdity also sets off the sublime. The protagonist is noble. If everyone is a great man, why are you talking about extraordinary? If everyone is scornful, then you will be good.
It is precisely because of the decline of group morals that Leon’s struggle has produced a laugh (absurdity) (film perspective). Second, there is a denial of modern material life in Europe and America. It is quite the "world under heaven" which is highly respected by Eastern culture. The spirit of
self- responsibility. (From a cultural perspective) Leon is childish, romantic, naive, and ridiculous.
At the same time, it is great, noble, extraordinary, and commendable.
Revolution may not produce great social effects, but it will definitely give birth to a great soul .
four
movies in a line, I get it done the article entitled
"are you bored or indifferent, bored to prove that you think this makes sense, but there is no appropriate way to achieve, it does not matter to prove that you have completely given up everything, to have Life is disappointed. (To the effect)
I haven't been to any European and American countries, including Canada. But this is something normal and rational people can't deny-whether it is hardware in European and American countries: democratic political system, social security system, public rights system. It's still software: the awareness of democratic participation, the awareness of social responsibility, the awareness of public rights, and the respect and protection of human nature are far above China (of course, this is not contradictory to the decline of morality, but also refers to relative terms).
But Canadians are still shouting "boring or indifferent" and the protagonist Leon is doing his best to make everyone feel that everything is meaningful.
Not only do we have no hardware system, but our awareness of the pursuit of freedom, justice, and rights is faltering.
"First-class citizens do not necessarily have first-class governments, but first-class governments must need first-class citizens." (Bo Yang) If
social contradictions are not released, they will eventually erupt in a fierce way. This is what we call "revolution." .
"There are petitioners in foreign countries, but it may be difficult to be as large and complex as China.
Don’t believe that if we are bored or indifferent, one day, we will be like them and face more “ignorance and Indifference".
How indifferent?-Tyrants like cowardly, stupid, selfish, and timid citizens.
How boring?-Indifferent, numb, cold, and ignorant nationals are most liked by tyrants .
The line "in the movie" refers to contemporary Canada. The students lack the national spirit. They dare not take the initiative to participate in social affairs, and are indifferent to all social welfare. But I believe that the children of China, I am afraid that seeing this, they will feel the so-called superiority? Will ask ourselves
whether we are qualified? Is it boring? Still doesn't matter?
Five: It was not
a brighter ending at the end of the ending. Leon tried his best to finally arouse the support of his classmates. The old man (Professor Baitou, a former leader of the Communist Movement) came out to defend him and praised that talents like him would change the world. .
He was expelled from Ontario, but he still insisted on his ideas and found a man of the same sex as Lenin. (When he met the man, the man happened to have a quarrel with his girlfriend) So he persuaded him to change the world with himself, and the movie finally came to an end as the two crossed their backs to face the sunset.
This is where I am dissatisfied with the movie. In the end, the movie did not make it into the supremacy of art. In pursuit of commerciality, entertainment, or box office, the movie ended in a happy ending.
(The real revolution certainly has the characteristics of madness and carnival, and it should be the greatest madness and carnival in history. At least as good as the 1925 Shanghai described by French scholar Berger: When the wave of radicalization of the masses was set off, the workers 8 industrial travel Xing, college students set up impromptu performances of political dramas on the streets, and the people speak freely. The whole city is plunged into a strong atmosphere of struggle and democracy. The revolutionary free will will find the most moving signals, motivation and posture for themselves, and that will also It will be a grand subversion that we have not seen before. How can it not be crazy? However, the real revolution is not so grandstanding—especially catering to mainstream public opinion—and gains the masses. It can only rely on hiding in the hustle and bustle of this world. The undercurrent can only rely on the long-term seemingly minority but the only independent class interest orientation, and can only rely on blood, sweat, suffering, and class struggle in collective life and death, rather than laughing and laughing after a meal and letting public opinion continue. The clown performance that magnifies the laughing fruit. And this difficult road and danger depends on precisely:
"The need for a fearless break, the need to contempt the mainstream public opinion to the greatest extent, to the most oppressed bottom!"
(Lev Trotsky, The call during the Spanish Civil War in 1937)
-taken from the
best ending on the Internet , I think it was the last to smash all the fantasy dreams of the protagonist-tell him how cruel reality is.
This will have two results: if he gives up, it is A common but thought-provoking idealist is defeated by reality.
If he persists in the face of setbacks, the connotation of the film and the personality of the protagonist will be sublimated. After all
, the film is a retrospect or coldness of the capitalist system to the past ideal revolution. Laughing, the producers themselves do not intend to take on too noble responsibilities (nor can they bear them)-this is too complicated, and the audience may not have such strong emotional resonance.
"It has to be so, so it can be." A
few years later It is possible that after adolescence, Leon will become a member of the general public and work for Daoliang. It is also possible that he will truly become a Trotsky character.
"You need a fearless break, you need to scorn mainstream public opinion to the utmost extent, and go to the bottom of the most oppressed!"-Trotsky's words echoed in his ears.
Six: What
this movie can enlighten and make me think is that when postmodernism is rampant, faith is met with ordinary doubts and denials.
When group morality is declining, what attitude should be taken towards idealism and how to stick to something.
Bored or indifferent, when a citizen's personal rights are eroded, is it to fight or be silent? Should our society be like this?
Chinese people especially need to think about longevity seriously. In the great age, what is the personal ideal of self? What should we do for social groups?
This is the end of the article.
