DC's hit movie "Wonder Woman" has been in theaters for a long time. Wonder Woman, who represents beauty, justice, and power, also kills almost all men and women, fascinating a large group of people. I am naturally also a person who feels this kind of beauty personally, but what I want to talk about today is not from the perspective of a DC hero, nor from how much her appearance will have in the film industry, nor is it digging into the number of eggs hidden behind the heroine This technique is posted. Those who know me should know that I always like to think about some more marginal things in memory of girls, all of them are the words of the family after reading all kinds of mainstream opinions. So, this time, I will still write a note about what I paid attention to and thought about after watching this movie.
Wonder Woman is amazing because she has a good mother who knows how to educate people
Why is Wonder Woman so amazing? In addition to her unique personality and background, there are actually many more. Many people are wondering why the film shows the part of Paradise Island, or it takes so long for the female hero to grow up from childhood? Is this necessary in an era where the length of a film can determine how many films can be arranged? Why not delete it? Perhaps, just switch a few shots from childhood to youth to adulthood.
What I want to say is that this seemingly redundant part contains the key to why Wonder Woman is Wonder Woman later: how she grows up and what her education is. Here, I am particularly fortunate that a female director is in charge of the film, because she must have her own opinions and persistence on the growth of a child.
We look back at Diana's growth. In terms of education, the Queen of Amazon can be said to be very beautiful. From the very beginning of petting, she knows how to let her children have a skill after persuasion, especially to plant the seeds of kindness, fraternity and beauty in the children's small hearts. I still remember that when Diana strongly asked to leave with Steve, the queen rode to the beach. What she did was not to stay but to say goodbye. She already knew that her daughter must travel a long time, or it could be said that she was ready for her daughter to travel a long time ago, so although it was painful, she still let go.
What I want to thank is that even if the queen knew that human beings are not kind, she still told Diana when she was a child that humans are kind, but they were deceived by the god of war.
What I want to thank is that although the queen suffered a loss from humans and finally fled to Paradise Island, she never told her to be alert to bad people at all times in front of the young Diana. There are many traps outside, and you must be careful about every one of them. You who smile.
What I want to thank is that she has cultivated a sunny, bright, and smiling girl who believes that the world is kind. It is said that a girl who loves to laugh will not be too bad luck. It is such a lovely girl full of sunshine that attracts so many kind people to lend a helping hand and form a companion to do something that can promote her growth.
So, how important is such an education with motivation, belief, and kindness! On the contrary, if the queen informs Diana of the duality and even the ugly side of humanity from the beginning, and even tells her who the enemy is about to face, then she is a child who has grown up with fear and hatred, and she will stick to the paradise island. , Perhaps sit and wait, or fight to the end, but the final outcome must be tragic.
Enlightenment is the moment of knowing the truth
After people come into this world, learning knowledge is a kind of enlightenment. It's like little Diana listening to her mother telling her stories and telling their history. My mother said that there was a big battle between the gods. Zeus sealed him with his last power, and left the Amazons. These historical stories are Little Diana's initial cognition of herself, and also the initial cognition of good and evil.
It's like when we were young, we listened to the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm's fairy tales from our mother and father. In fairy tales, there is always a good person, a bad person, a wise person, and a fool. In the world of talking, there is always evil retribution, and kind people will live happily together forever.
However, I want to say that true enlightenment is not when you start to build a small worldview in your heart. On the contrary, true enlightenment is when you truly show your worldview, but you are shattered by the hammer of truth.
In the film, when Diana finally faces the so-called villain God of War, God of War tells her another version of the "truth": He is not the God of War, but the God of Truth. Of course, the God of Truth has discovered a truth that animals like humans will eventually destroy the earth. So he wanted to destroy humanity.
The version of this story completely contradicts the worldview that Diana has established since childhood:
The dichotomy of the world she used to think has now become the public speaking of the public and the mother of the law;
The words of her mother, whom she once believed, have now become bedtime stories;
Has she ever persisted in saving mankind and turned into an enemy of truth?
If, as the God of Truth said, everything that was once can be overturned, then her cognition must be reconstructed, and this is the real enlightenment to a person.
This marked that she started from a child who believed in the pure world and was truly facing the chaotic adult world. And this time is also the purpose of the queen let her come to the human world to experience: no longer a simple little girl, to grow into a woman capable of distinguishing good from evil and making choices.
Facing the truth, what is it? Do something, don't do something.
The thing that fascinated me the most in the whole film was that after Diana killed the Nazi leader with the sword of truth, she found that the world remained the same. Her kind of bewilderment, that kind of unbelievable, that kind of panic moment moved me. This is the true portrayal of a person who believes in his goal for more than twenty years, but suddenly collapses when he thinks it is achieved.
She is puzzled, she is unwilling, she is unwilling. The impact of this complicated emotion on her was too great for her to digest for a while. But she was lucky at the same time. Because if ordinary people face this situation, they will probably be in a state of incomprehension for months, years, or even a lifetime. The reason why she is lucky is that the second accurate villain appeared. When she was in a daze, when she had no target at all, she appeared in front of her like a savior, gave her a spiritual sustenance and a target, and seemed to say: Come on me. So, all of a sudden, the contradiction is no longer scattered, but re-concrete again. (But in reality, you and I would not be so lucky)
Diana temporarily put aside his doubts about why human beings didn't stop, and concentrated on the next battle, but this one was still difficult to fight. The reason why it is said that it is difficult to fight is not only a contest of combat effectiveness, but also a test of security. In the battle, the opponent has been "selling" her own ideas, and the truth in this sounds quite reasonable.
As the saying goes: All villains should have a sufficient reason to be a villain, and all positive characters will still strictly refuse to be a villain. Because the Tao is different and don't seek each other. And the "Tao" in their hearts is actually the seeds planted by the education mentioned above. For the first choice, Diana firmly said no. But when Steve died, it was precisely when she was knocked down the most vulnerable. Faced with the physical and psychological double blows, she is already very difficult to reason. At this time, I can be fortunate that she met a good person. This good person Steve actually came to save her, and to save all mankind.
Facing the truth that mankind itself is not perfect, it is a community of good and evil, Diana made her own choice-to watch . After she defeated the god who wanted the destruction of mankind in front of her, she didn't help mankind go very well, nor did she kill mankind completely. Instead, she chose to watch and wait for the event to develop. In the history of mankind, there may be some pushing hands that changed the development of history, but mankind's own history must be written by mankind after all. Whether it is good or evil, human beings also have their own right to choose.
At this point, Diana is no longer the passionate girl. She personally experienced the enthusiasm of the battle, felt the kindness of human beings, and paid the price to understand the truth. In the end, her choice marked her growth: to do something and not to do something.
Human imperfection is precisely the most attractive place
Ever since, in the next few thousand years, Diana lived as a bystander in the world. I still remember when she left Paradise Island, the queen said that you would not be able to come back later. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot come back geographically, but that your heart cannot come back.
After seeing such an unpredictable world, Diana's life has just begun. She can't go back to the pure and spotless Paradise Island for the rest of her life, which seems to be synonymous with boring. As for the world, this chaotic but attractive place, although she doesn't interfere, she can enjoy the uncertainty of every minute and every second with the experience of watching a theater.
So, know why both gods and immortals want to come to play in the world? Because the uncertainty, imperfection, and chaos of human beings contain novel, unknown, and wonderful possibilities. As high-ranking them, they still want to linger here even after they have seen everything. They just want to experience this kind of life, to see what human beings call life and death, love and hatred, and love and hatred, and savor the taste of each. And if you are in the world, every decision you make may change rapidly. Just like Diana who has stayed in the world for thousands of years, she was finally touched by a photo and took up her sword again and went into battle.
It is true that "Wonder Woman" is not a perfect work, but it still makes me like a lot. The experience of Wonder Woman in her early years is worth seeing. I also seem to see the shadow of my own youth in it-growing from a simple little girl to the way I sometimes look at the world with the mentality of a bystander. Behind the charm of the heroine is the thinking about the person itself, and it seems that every superhero movie has to say this: Why are so many shortcomings of human beings worthy of your salvation? Perhaps, because they just want humans to exist longer, let's see what happens. After all, the experience process is the most important.
