Ring messenger: why China is different from the world

Edmund 2022-03-22 09:01:06

The hottest topic recently is no longer "The Ring Messenger", but Mo Yan. He unexpectedly won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The topic of literature that has rarely entered the scope of popular topics in daily life has been heated up. And this kind of heat will continue to be hot for a while.



But the same thing as "Loop Messenger" is that the same thing, the voice received in foreign and domestic is different. "Loop Messenger" has received much more praise in North America than in China. The real reason for this difference lies in the merits of the scissors hands. It is the skill of their wrists that makes the Chinese version unique and unique. The version no longer looks good. Similarly, in the Nobel Prize, I believe that the scale of the old men and women has not changed much, but when Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000, the official voice represented by the People’s Daily directly condemned Nobel. The presenter of the literary prize believes that it has a strong political purpose. Now that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, it has become a pure literary victory without political influence. In the past 10 years, there was a strong political intention, and then there was no political factor. Which one is right, or both are right, because the organization that said these words is always correct. . Therefore, it is only us, the general public who are deeply promoted by the organization, who are confused.



Whether we should recognize universal values ​​or not is a very important question. Because we are always drifting outside of the world's trends, not only shameless, but also known as special features, and then just steal it. For Mo Yan's awards and academic achievements alone, it is not unreasonable to have won, after all, he is also regarded as a first-class master in China. Although, there is no super master in this era. It can only be said that Mo Yan is lucky, because Bei Dao, Yu Hua, and even Jia Pingwa and Chen Zhongshi, who are about the same level as him, and even higher than him, are eligible for this award. It is only because of translation or other reasons that they Nothing. The current Weibo criticism of Mo Yan is actually something he cannot bear, because many people hope that he will dare to criticize the regime and become a public intellectual. It's a pity that Mo Yan didn't do it, and even at some point, he did some self-defeating things. But after all, it is a matter of personal choice whether or not to be a public intellectual, or to be a craftsman of codewords. What Mo Yan chose was to hide in the small building and become a unity, to be a writer of novels, not to participate in politics, and not to be a public intellectual. Then, let him be himself. The Nobel Prize for Literature was not given to him for political purposes. Therefore, there can be fewer criticisms of Mo Yan, and fewer expectations of him.



The society does not have to have much expectations for Mo Yan, but for the regime, it should not be too much of Mo Yan's political achievements, otherwise, it would be too disgusting. But for now, he has been regarded as a political achievement. This is what makes people feel sad. Going back to "Loop Messenger", the government only cut out the parts they recognized. As for whether the movie is good or not, it doesn't care at all, so we are all abandoned by others. They don’t care about the joy that belongs to the bullshit at all. They only want what they think of, and they can control and block the things that hinder them as much as they want, and they can explain it arbitrarily, and explain it themselves as they are beneficial. , And it always seems to make sense.



The above has nothing to do with "Circular Messenger", but the unattractiveness of "Circular Messenger" in China makes me have to say these words. This is also what I have to say for the sadness and anger that I appreciate as a movie.



The story of "Loop Messenger" is actually designed to be very interesting. This kind of fun is not as cool as "Avatar" and "Inception", because the investment and the pattern are originally different. "Loop Messenger" is comparable to the production and layout of "Source Code", "Never Ending" and "Moon". It has a medium investment and a medium layout, but the ingenious conception is endless. Because up to now, it is still impossible to see what the original North American version is like, so I won’t say so much about the film itself, but even if it is screened in China, it is enough to say that it is a pretty good film. . It's just that we are being outside and outside of the world because of our characteristics. Alas! Nimad!

    "The path is a circle, around and around." The background structure of the story is fairly interesting, and the ideas are good, but the filming is not opened, there is a lot of confusion in logic, and the thinking is not spread out, resulting in too hasty plot processing in the later stage. The ending is rather sloppy. However, whether it is Jiao Zefu, Lao Wei or even Summer Qing's makeup, it is a bit unacceptable. ★★★☆

    囧 Joseph has done his best to imitate old Willis, and it feels very uncomfortable to wear this makeup; Xu Qing, as the representative of a new generation of Chinese women, appeared "silently"; the strongest gloomy little atomic bomb boy in history can be To all the avengers; the big boss from the future strongly recommends China as the future destination, and the native Americans in the movie theater are laughing intermittently; I haven't had time and don't want to think about it, I feel that the movie has a big logical error.
