On "Liberated Jiang Ge"

Emma 2022-03-21 09:01:08

The castrated Jiang Ge turned out to be "The Rescued Jiang Ge". Does it mean that the word "liberation" is a bit reactionary? How do the current history textbooks teach the section of "War of Liberation"? Does that famous book have to be changed to "Prometheus Freed" before it can be published?

Let's start with "liberation". Why is liberation better than rescue? Because liberation is linked to "freedom" and salvation is linked to "security", in the words of our party, the former is capitalism slandering China's concept of "human rights", and the latter is our socialism. The superiority is realized, "the most basic human right of the right to subsistence".

As a slave, Jiang Ge was given to him by the white...Of course, he had to use "liberation". Back then, our party used this word to overthrow the three mountains, and now Daenerys, who was born in a storm, is doing things like a raging fire on the other side of the narrow sea.

The key is what is liberation and when was liberation?

In order to find prey, the dentist snatched a slave from the slave owner. Is this liberation? Seems to be. The dentist brought a new profession to the slave, allowing him to find a new meaning in his life. Is this liberation? It seems to be too. But the most important and most profound liberation was the death of the dentist. After the death of the dentist, Jiang Ge was truly liberated. Look at how awesome he was in the end? !

This is the fate of all stories rooted in this kind of story. The leader must die, and the hero can slay the dragon after death. So Luke had to kill King Sith after Yoda died (his father killed it, to be precise...), Harry Potter had to kill Voldemort after Dumbledore died, and Frodo Only after Gandalf is "dead" can he make up his mind to go to the Doomsday Pass alone.

Of course, the dentist is not only a guide, he is also a creator in a sense, and the creator gives freedom to the created. Even so, there is a force that holds him back, as if he is still responsible. Only after the creator dies can this creation be truly completed. Why did the dentist help Jiang Ge? In addition to his hatred of slavery, the biggest reason is that he likes him because "I have never given anyone freedom. I think I have a responsibility to you." This kind of responsibility is the creator. Responsibility.

Because of this love, Jiang Ge must also love him, but "killing the gods" is also necessary, so the only way is God's self-sacrifice. Pangu dismembered himself for the sake of the creation of the world, and Nuwa was exhausted to fill the sky, and mankind came out of childhood.

Sometimes the creator and the created are disgusted with each other, which is out of the scope of ancient mythology. This must be the product of modern technology: it is not a naive dependence on the unknown, but a tense sword. Compare "Blade Runner" and "Prometheus", both of which are begged for eternal life by the creator like the creator ("Silver" is a bionic person to humans, and "Pu" is a human being like a space jockey). , But the ending is just the opposite. The former is the creator (biomimetic) who killed the creator (human) in anger, the latter is the creator (space jockey) who killed the creator (human) in anger. ), why are humans always hurt. . . .

Both of these killings bring the same kind of confusion: Why did you create me, but you didn't love me? This natural impulse to get love constitutes a shackle, and only by breaking it can real "liberation" be achieved, and only by killing God can it be broken.

Got too far



back to talk about this movie. The film was really long. It lasted 140 minutes. I skipped the morning class. I was late for the afternoon class. In the end, I didn't even eat lunch. It can be seen that it was really too long. This kind of length is completely unnecessary. In fact, telling a well-structured story is not Quentin's specialty (killing Bill actually took two episodes!!), Quentin is good at shooting paragraphs, one by one, with wonderful atmosphere and contradictions, creating a very impressive atmosphere. Forced, sometimes I suspect that he first thought out paragraphs one by one, and then forcibly fabricated a main line to unify them. Therefore, the format of Hollywood's "three-act drama" smoothed out the tension of the drama, and finally it was lengthy.

Paragraphs are a certain characteristic of Quentin. Two of his favorite movies, "Pulp Fiction" and "Shameless Bastard" are both of my favorites. "Falling Water Dog" is also good, but it's just a lot of good paragraphs, and there are various problems as a whole. I revisited "Shameless Bastard" two days ago and found it very interesting. The section where the Jewish family was killed, the section where the tavern joins, and the section where the movie theater revenges the final chapter. In a sense, it follows the less strict "tricity". , These are also the three most exciting scenes.

In addition, Quentin’s movies don’t show "positive people" very much, but the dentist in "Jing Ge" is really very positive. The positive is a bit uncomfortable. His death seems to be a good person card. . I must say that this is a failure of shaping.

Similarly, there is no "main theme value", but "Jiang Ge" does condemn slavery and promote the spirit of the north, which also makes me feel awkward. In contrast, World War II movies like "Shameless Bastard" did not follow the simple binary division of Axis powers as evil and Allies as justice. The Americans and the British here are not good people. The Americans have always appeared in the image of the liberation of Europe as messengers of justice. In the play, they have become a group of brutal people and compromised with the Nazis for profit; the British have always been known for their rigor, but they carefully selected the spies sent to Russia to speak. I was heard with an accent. The most funny thing is that this group of people finally got rid of the suspicion after a long time, and then relax with a glass of wine. The gesture of "three" is different from that of the Germans, so they were discovered. . .

Therefore, the actor of the dentist, with a reduced version of his own style, won the second statuette, which is really a bit speechless.

Mirror language aspect. . . Since this product is actually not a Western movie at all, but a Nima shootout movie, it cannot be included in this type of evaluation system. The final shootout is entirely scheduled for Hong Kong movies, right?

Just say this. I’m too lazy to write a serious film review now.

    Give me back my Doc! Give me back my Doc! Give me back my Doc! Heartache! Candy Farm is a good name, as good as Candy Box Stadium. Django's return to kill is quite like Wu Song's blood-washing the Mandarin Duck Tower.

    It may not be the best movie of the year, but it is probably the most enjoyable movie for fans. Quentin, who no longer bothers to arrange the structure, adopts a more traditional single-threaded narrative this time. He pays tribute to macaroni westerns, Hong Kong martial arts films and even his own "Shameless Bastard." Mixing and matching music, violence, and language (especially foreign languages) have once again become important props. Samuel L. Jackson dedicated his best performance since "Pulp Fiction"
