Discretionary thinking, this is just a short comment with more words

At first, I thought it was a movie with a strong political ideology, until I finished watching this movie, I didn't think so. I am very excited. There are certain emotions in the film that cause my associations, or make me think of problems that I have never thought about. We all know that novels are made up of the ingenuity of countless authors. What the authors see with their eyes and hear with their ears often become their source of inspiration. I don’t know if it’s because I like "Three-Body" too much. I saw that in the film, "Deterrence is an art that makes people afraid of offense" and "water is poisonous", as well as Dr. Qi Ai's request later. People live underground. All these make me think of "Three-Body". While I was amazed by Kubrick's whimsical ideas, I would also wonder if Liu Cixin had watched this when he was writing "The Three-Body". Movies? Perhaps the inspiration for a moment came from this, but it is not necessarily (laughs). Later, the adjutant of the Rui Peng officer wanted to call the president to talk about confidential matters, but he was stumped by the money. How ridiculous and ironic, they even have to go. This feat can only be accomplished by dismantling Coca-Cola's counter machines. This reminds me of the previous political teacher’s proposal in class, "Will my little fortune become a social misfortune?"

If the person pointing the gun at the officer adjutant of Rui Peng is a person with a strong sense of morality, he will never do anything illegal or dismantle the Coca-Cola counter. At that time, (without opening the perspective of God) even now It seems that what he did was also right, but such a correct approach may result in the final recovery order not being reported to the president, just like Cheng Xin in "Three-Body", which seemed to be a relative humanity at the time. However, in light of the results, I feel that this matter has been done wrong. This is what I think about when watching this video, that is, for different people, the evaluation criteria will change. For example, a man who cares about his family’s parents, he planted a city of peach blossoms for his wife. To ordinary people, this is a good man, but if he is a prince or an emperor, then he is still a good man for his wife’s work and money. ?

My thinking has spread a bit. In short, I like this film very much. A good film must be thought-provoking.

    [Chinese Film Archive Kubrick Exhibition Screening] Re-watching the 4K version of the big screen is still overwhelming. Kubrick has a serious and funny face, heralding the madness of the doomsday in the comedy. The multi-angle narrative technique is still adept. The absurdity in the war room makes people laugh. The shooting technique of hand-held photography inspired Spielberg to shoot "Private Ryan". Peter Sellers, under the tutelage of Kubrick, plays the role of the triangle alone, and his acting skills are very brilliant.
