remember that when I was a child, I had a Chinese class, and there were not many texts on class struggle both overtly and secretly. There are "For Sixty-one Class Brothers", "Huang Jiguang", "Li Zicheng", and the dark ones, from "Litchi Honey" to "Camellia Fu". Turning to the Chinese textbooks of the Cultural Revolution period of the parents’ generation, you can’t wait for the words "class struggle" to be written on every page, and the Chinese class itself has become a "tool of class struggle." The writer Mo Yan said: “Obviously we know that many of the articles in the textbook are lie, and even the author of the article himself does not believe it, but we still force the children to learn as the truth.” It took many years to learn from this.” Sober up in the education of "Education in Fun" and "Politics in Literature".
But today, in the theater closest to Hollywood in Los Angeles, I saw the Disney brand's class struggle, the American-style "combining politics with entertainment."
The film is too obviously politically correct. In a metropolis similar to a mixture of Los Angeles and Chicago, there are various groups of animals (human races). The civilian class (whites) headed by non-Predator looks down on or fears the entire class of Predator (blacks). They take precautions against Predator, tacitly saying that the difference between them is "biological" (see the speech of police officer Judy Rabbit at the first press conference), and at the same time for other animals, such as appearance, height, White mice (people of color) whose habits are very different from them. The name Zootopia itself is a metaphor for the utopian integration of various ethnic groups in the United States, and it coexists perfectly in such a city where summer and winter, ice, snow and the tropics coexist.
Everything is fine, except that the preaching is too straightforward and the food is too ugly.
Hollywood’s left-leaning is well-known. In ancient times, Marlon Brando asked an Indian girl to come on stage and refused to accept the award. The overall victories of "Bomb Force", "Crash", and "Focus" know how important the blessing of political correctness is in this land that monopolizes the national film industry. Patriotism, racial integration, and melting pot are the themes that must exist for the Academy Awards every year, and reached the extreme in a cartoon in the general election year.
Chinese audiences may not understand the sensitivity of political correctness, especially racial issues, in the United States, so watching this movie may not be too sensitive. But everyone living in the United States can definitely feel the principle of "don't look at people by appearance"-"don't discriminate against black people" that is taught every minute and every second in the movie. Tigers, snow leopards, and wolves represent fierceness and cruelty, and are the common views of white Americans on blacks; the frailty of the white mouse and the disregard of society, I think it can represent the stereotypes received by Asians and other people of color. The problem is that in nature, foxes and rabbits really can’t coexist; tigers and lions are born hunters; the weak and the strong eat, and the natural selections are selected. If a rabbit uses the kindness of Police Officer Judy in the film to approach the fox, then the last The result can be imagined. Zootopia uses the animal world as a metaphor for the beautiful ideals of a human society, but did not expect that the metaphor itself is untenable.
Similarly, the contradictions between races in American society are difficult to reconcile, just like the class struggle in Chinese society. No matter how to sing an ode to racial equality, the crime rate of blacks in American society is still the highest. There are many blacks in poor schools, housing prices in black settlements are cheap, and people still talk about black areas. All this is "Biological" (biological) Is it? Of course not, but what about social factors? What about historical factors? What about political factors? Avoiding these many deep-seated reasons, Hollywood pushed out a bunny to carry a scapegoat, made Judy give an absolute racist speech at the reception, and then simply denied it, and finally launched the "Look at the door, don’t look at the door. The central idea of "Family, Genus and Species", the Hollywood Chinese class is over. The children watched the movie with good wishes, and then? Once out, the tiger is still a tiger, and the jackal is still a jackal.
In this country where political correctness is greater than anything else, all contradictions that cannot be reconciled are covered up in this name.
This is why Trump has won so much today. Although he has not yet and is unlikely to achieve a substantive victory, the public opinion he has gained today has surpassed the imagination of most politicians and the masses. This is an absolute victory. In a country where political correctness is paramount, there are so many people who vote for a person who is obviously "politically incorrect." What does this mean? The survey showed that the higher the number of votes Trump received, the higher the proportion of blacks, but it was not blacks who voted for him. In other words, the deeper the racial conflict, the more white people will support Trump. The concept of racial equality that the U.S. government, ideology, and propaganda agencies have worked so hard to manage for many years is like a Chinese robe full of lice, it is too easy to be crushed. From this point of view, the essence of China and the United States is no different.
