very nice. A film from twenty years ago, so profound. Huang Bo's "A Good Show" obviously draws on the theme and elements of this movie, and even the clues that promote the outbreak of conflicts are similar.
These violent delights have violent ends. - Westworld
Bewitched by the utopian voice, they desperately squeeze through the gates of heaven, only to find themselves in hell when the gate slams behind them. --Milan Kundera
Is there a paradise in the world? Is there a utopia? A more accurate question is, does our modern human nature allow us to create a utopian world? No. does not exist. Also not allowed. If there is a utopia, its self-protection mechanism should make it never known, and what will never be known does not exist. Again, this is a bit like the efficient market hypothesis, if there is an arbitrage strategy that can be consistently profitable, then when that strategy is made public, that's when it fails.
Greed and fear in human nature are the most important reasons for destroying the utopia in the movie. Take love as an example. In the real world, there is neither selfless love nor fearless love. Such love only exists in people's spiritual world. There are no heroes in the real world, only legends of heroism. This is also a natural corollary of Romain Rolland's point of view.
At the beginning of the movie, Xiao Lizi's inner monologue on the streets of Thailand, I like it very much. It is similar to the scene of Takeshi Kaneshiro in "Chongqing Forest" on the streets of Hong Kong. Follow the shaking camera to see the flamboyant world, but the heart is completely opposite to the prosperity on the surface.
In this film, I once again felt the resonance from the bottom of my heart.
PS, Xiao Lizi's acting is impeccable. But, why is there a stalk of jump in this movie? How much do you love jump!
PPS, even a dew point shot of Tencent video has to be cut off. I have to go to the torrent to download the full version and make up for the shot that Tencent cut off. Humph.
