1 Chinese audiences have a habit of watching film and television works, and even literary works: they like to ask if this is a good person or a bad person. I also have this habit.
The audience is not to blame for having such a habit, because it is all thanks to the creator.
Previous creators have long been accustomed to portraying characters as good or bad. Moral evaluation is what the Chinese are best at and most willing to do. It is no wonder that the audience will habitually ask: is this a good person or a bad person.
In daily life, people also like to use sentences such as whether he is a good person or he is a bad person to evaluate a person.
This habit is so deeply buried in people's hearts that when I first started watching "Breaking Bad", it was very uncomfortable.
Because it is difficult for you to use "he is a good person or he is a bad person", this kind of value evaluation method to evaluate the characters in the play.
People often feel at a loss when facing things beyond their own knowledge with deep-rooted values.
When the Three Views are challenged and questioned, the individual himself will be like a thorn in his back, and dialectically accept new ideas on top of the original cognitive system, the value system will undergo a subversion and deconstruction, and progress will occur.
For example, when Jimmy went through a lot of hardships and passed the judicial examination, I was as happy for him as everyone else in the play. I like this inspirational character.
In order to achieve his goal, he did nothing to do harm to others and to benefit himself. I hate him in my heart. I don't like this selfish guy.
As you often see, facing this role, I was caught in a dilemma, because my original concept of "is he a good person or a bad person" was challenged.
After being caught in a dilemma, I knew that there was a problem with my concept. We should not simply judge a person by good or bad. We can't judge by good or bad even anything other than people. , This is a lazy and irresponsible performance.
Human nature is complex, and man is a complex and changeable animal. If you have to evaluate morally, one of the simplest truths is: neither black nor white, neither good nor bad.
Either good or bad is a nonsense, but it is better than one sentence: You are really a fucking bad person, or a sentence: We are really a bunch of good people. 2 Whether it is a big reunion or a small reunion, the audience wants to see it. Since it is what the audience wants to see, follow this line of thinking. This is a common production method in our TV series.
In traditional Chinese stories, there has always been a lack of tragedy, because the audience cannot accept the tragedy, because life is already a tragic world.
The life journey of first bitter and sweeter is the one that people are most willing to accept.
The reality is that the fuller the ideal, the more skinny the reality, God rewards hard work, Huang Tian is the most caring person.
In domestic dramas, in order to set off the protagonist’s glorious image, the director often arranges to let him eat all the hardships of life. After he touches his nose, waits for the protagonist to become "unworthy", and then another reversal, the protagonist will live a happy life. A happy life.
This is what we are talking about. The will will come true, and everyone will live up to it with painstaking efforts.
This kind of reversal is also common in "The Coquettish Lawyer", which is different from the domestic ones in that the former is a series of reversals, or to use Jimmy as an example. Jimmy passed the judicial exam
One reversal of becoming a lawyer is that the Bar Association restricts them from being able to be a professional within one year. I thought they could be professional after one year. A year later, his review failed. Jimmy and his girlfriend tried all means and passed the review.
To put it simply, Jimmy has been experiencing suffering, and God will give him a little sweetness when he is about to despair.
This view of life is completely different from the concept of "where there is aspiration, everything can be achieved". Our childhood education tells us that as long as we work hard, we will get rewards.
There will be a rainbow after the wind and rain. God will open a window if you close a door, but I don't think so.
Stormy weather after wind and rain is very common, and it is also very common for God to close a door and then weld it to death.
Life is complicated, and this life specifically refers to the life in the TV series.
