Bruce Lee taught his disciples in "Dragon and Tiger Fight": When a teacher teaches kung fu, it is like pointing at the moon with a hand. If you have no understanding, then it is very Unfortunately, you can only see your fingers and not appreciate the brilliance of the moon. After he finished speaking, he beat his disciple on the head, because the head was a little dull. When I saw this place, like the disciple who was beaten, I also had a headache. I think Mr. Li spoke very well, but he did not fully consider the special circumstances, for example, what if there is no moon when it rains? For another example, that finger is actually innately gifted and suspicious, so can't I just look sideways? Mr. Bruce Lee is my idol. Although I am a little suspicious, I still obey his teaching. When I appreciate the art of film, which is as wonderful as kung fu, I always think about looking at the moon and ignore the existence of my fingers. In the masterpiece "Team America: World Police", I resisted all kinds of distractions, and with my not-so-great mind and with the help of various instruments, I finally managed to see the old face of the moon. .
The first time I watched a marionette show live was on the basketball court in middle school, and I was very interested in the structure of these puppets. More intriguing to me than the structure of the puppets is the splendid vision of dismantling them one by one in my mind, with parts flying around. You can see that in my young mind, the seeds of deconstruction sprouted. Of course, I would never have imagined that, after many years, Mr. Trey Parker made a movie specially for my childhood dream and let me witness the puppets disintegrating in various postures free from the influence of the earth's gravity. Such a poignant film pays homage to Paris in 1968: not to the dreamers who carry the Cahiers du cinéma all day long, but to a man named Derrida. In 1968, Derrida published a dissertation on Difference at the French Philosophical Society, and deconstruction was born out of the romantic fire of the May Student Movement. This is a theory that believes that everything in the world is in the process of eternal self-deconstruction. The interaction that occurs in the self-deconstruction of everything leads to extreme uncertainty. Time is not static, space is indeterminate, and text is indeterminate. Therefore, all authority It's all delusion - denying authority, that's the point. Director Trey Parker deeply learned to understand this spirit, he declared: "Whether it is left or right, as long as we go to extremes, we will laugh at him, so we made this film to show you these extreme behaviors." He He brazenly mocked the U.S. government, which maintains world peace, and the ultra-nationalists who dreamed of turning the whole world into a third world in a splendid explosion. Of course, he did not let go of those who thought they had profound insights but were actually quite naive. war performers. He said to me: Look, look, the face of the moon...
But when Gary sings "Everyone has AIDS" and says contemptuously to Spottswoode, "I'll get in your car and let you put your finger in my asshole. If I make you fuck up, you'll give me the movie. character", I couldn't help but revisit this potentially hot finger, and it's becoming important: it's this imaginary finger that sets the hormonal tone for Team America. From a functional point of view, this is a finger like a penis. Although the penis may be bigger and longer than the finger, the finger is easy to carry and can be easily detached and used due to its own excellent quality. It is well received by consumers at different levels and naturally won the favor of the director. The director wanted to show me the moon, and he chose a finger that looked like a penis, and that finger shone with two kinds of light: one was sex, and the other was parody.
Through the long Middle Ages, the phenomenon of sexuality gradually became subordinate to a higher order, such as God, the divine being. Sex is institutionalized, the beast is locked in the cage of marriage, and the institution of marriage is confirmed and blessed by the will of God. Parody, on the other hand, is the borrowing of classic texts, and it may be a deconstruction of the text itself, or it may realize its own new interpretation. The obsession with sex translates into the ubiquitous "fuck" in the film, and the obsession with parody translates into moment-to-moment ridicule.
When a foreigner speaks the words starting with F, it is very refreshing, like chewing dried radish, clear and loud without being squeamish and sullen. This mixture of primitive heat and modern enthusiasm has become a kind of rebellion, and it is also a declaration of attitude: It takes Trey Parker's feet to beat everything. From the director's point of view, everything in the world is nothing but sex organs and suspected sex organs, and everything can be fucked: "McDonald's, fuck yeah; WalMart, fuck yeah; Baseball, fuck yeah; NFL, fuck yeah; Rock&Roll, fuck yeah; The Internet, fuck yeah; ;Slavery, fuck yeah..."; and all the advanced theories are just a summary or quarrel between the sexual organs, the philosopher said: the genitals and politics of women are the dirtiest in the world, but men like them the most. . (Of course, you can also say that men's genitals are the dirtiest, and then send this sentence to female politicians.) But the director said that politics is inherently sexual, "there are only three kinds of people in this world: penis, vagina and asshole" , their relationship runs through all political mysteries. Trey Parker is simply a graffiti boy who rebels against the world, but he doesn't use spray paint, he uses dizzying semen. After a burst of intense action, only the ghosts and messes in the air remained in the action itself.
However, this serious corrosion and destruction of public property has been understood by everyone, because Parker has demonstrated the rationality of this behavior in advance. Through his parody but miraculous imitations, people discover the ugliness and hilarity of many things that were originally high-sounding. The audience looked at all the ugliness on the screen, and obtained the satisfaction and pleasure that their IQ was higher than others. Laughing out loud was a loud confession of "I am smarter than these people in the movie", so the audience accepted the director's hidden flattery. Standing in the same trench as him. This kind of parody includes two levels. On the one hand, it is the imitation of real-life characters, such as Hollywood stars, such as the very ronely King is fucking; on the other hand, it is the parody of texts, such as "Mr. Smith" Go to Washington, The Matrix, Star Wars, Kill Bill. This also includes teasing about the production mode and shooting rules of Hollywood blockbusters. Like many films, montages are used to show that when Gary is serious about shooting, fighting and other training, the background music is not yin and yang, and sings: " In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage..." One of the most amazing parody is the double reproduction of a real person and a classic text, Spottswoode, in order to emphasize the importance of overall collaboration, said There is no "I" in Team America, but INTELLIGENCE says there is. This is a wink thrown at Joe's gang leader. Jordan liked to play alone when he was young, but the data was gorgeous but could not bring victory to the team. The coach said that there is no "I" in the word "team"; the gang leader Qiao retorted: but there is "win".
There is no doubt that constant fucking and laughing are very hurtful sports, the former hurts the body, the latter hurts the character. However, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who came out of South Park, are like this and they are determined. There is a Zen story that says: "Monk Ju, whoever has a question, only raises one finger." This finger represents all the essentials and mysteries of the Dharma. If the two writers and directors of "Team America" also used their fingers to explain the essence of their films, I believe they would put up their middle fingers. The story of that monk is still further down, saying, "There was a boy afterward, because an outsider asked: 'What is the method of the monk?' When the boy was called again, the boy looked back, but the callus raised his finger, and the boy suddenly realized." Mr. Feng Youlan quoted this story in "A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy", deduced a truth, and then said: "One must first say a lot and then keep Silence."
I hope Trey Parker and Matt Stone keep fighting.
