This is what Zhang Ailing said.
Of course, this sentence can also be said like this: life is like a plate of exquisite dishes. Before serving it, it was made in a kitchen full of rats.
Pixar subverted it with cartoons-what did mice do? A mouse can also have dreams and a chef's heart.
I wandered between the two films Ratatoulle and Lust Caution, and then I chose to watch the former-I was born in peace, and I always feel too cruel and depressed when confronting human nature.
I have always disliked Zhang Ailing's depression, so that after reading all her articles in college, none of them left a deep impact.
But there is a scene in her novel that I remember: the girl is standing by the window, a man comes in, she smiles at him, but because the lips are too dry, the upper lip sticks to the teeth and can’t put it down. .
Even such a playful scene, like a light, is not used to illuminate the bleak, but to show the embarrassment and lice. Because I remember, the plot after that made people feel even more boring, although I don't remember the details.
Zhang Ailing is not wrong at all. She grasped human nature with the unique sensitivity and delicacy of the little woman: there is no grand revolution or ideals, no noble love, after pleasure, there is emptiness, there is nothing worth sacrifice and struggle...
But this is true The bleak is too bleak, and the bleak makes life no longer necessary to shine.
This feeling. . Like. . . It is even like what intellectuals and revolutionaries have been doing since the late Qing Dynasty—breaking the old customs, rules, ethics and systems that people rely on, so that people are no longer numb and face reality.
However, it's like breaking the old things and establishing new rules, customs and systems-after breaking the seemingly upright words that are shrouded in human nature, how can I face such human nature? Void and gloomy?
This is even different from the truth revealed by movies such as "The Tower of Babel", because for the former, it only reveals the eternal paradox that exists between people, and it makes people vigilant: while Zhang Ailing and Li An’s lust and precaution make People completely question the things in life that bring us joy and meaning.
I would rather not face such humanity.
Because for me, there is only one life in my life, my possible choice is-to live happily, or to live pessimistically.
Therefore, ratatullie is such a novel cartoon, but it still makes me feel happy, and there are so few words as "inspirational quotes"-after watching it, I feel like I am fighting for what I like The little mouse is also a very good thing.
In fact, such a proposition has already existed: I am willing to be a painful philosopher or a happy pig. Judging from the performance of my love to watch inspirational films, I chose to be a happy pig.
Therefore, magazines like "Reader" are responsible for making people's lives easier and happy.
Why do Chinese movies do not take on this function now? What kind of sun rises as usual, lust, so that the previous night banquets, heroes, seem to want to tell the audience to face some "essential" things.
Probably before, the essence was buried too deeply by another ideological thing, and those who call themselves elites overcorrected.
Oops, I still hope that the elites of this era will create some fantastic things to let people indulge in them, work and live happily—for example. . . Ratatouille is the representative of the "American Dream" created by American elites. . . Hollywood has created a bunch of movies that show the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. . . . Not long ago, I watched "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and Will Smith played the typical "American Dream" of "struggle and success". How wonderful.
Summary:
Life is nothing. However, it takes meaning to pass, and it takes no meaning to create meaning. ——For specific explanation, see above and Xu Sanduo's performance in "Soldiers Assault."
Everyone, come and promote the "Chinese Dream", hehe!
