In a battle that Barry participated in when he was in the British army, the British army adopted line infantry tactics. This scene is funny and clumsy. The red-clad Englishman fell down after eating a gun. The scene didn't even have any dramatic effect. In specific battles, especially in the scenes of early battles before modern civilization, people hardly mastered any advanced technology. Countless human lives are fought, then human life is the means itself, and soldiers never have subjectivity in the context of war. From a macro perspective, war can bring a sense of powerlessness, but not a sense of nothingness. Weakness is because the strength of one person is too small, but if the number of people is large enough, the weapons are better, and the winning rate can be obtained, then each individual will not fall into nothingness, and they have the meaning of strength. The real nothingness is caused by something bigger and more unspeakable. The absurdity is that this kind of thing is hidden under the individual perspective. A lover marries someone else's wife in a blink of an eye, money is disillusioned, relatives are separated, the opponent raises the gun while putting down the gun, and a cold bullet of unknown origin pierces the body; these extend in the individual's life, related to karma, related to opportunity, It is about individuality, about the times, about fame, about dignity, about desire, about everything that directly points to the essence of life, overlapping and weaving into the ultimate nothingness. Nothingness that only an individual can feel.
It's hard to define it, but it could be the gust of wind in Wuhan this Tuesday, which swept up the high-rise workers and smashed them to death on the buildings where they worked. Seeing this news, my heart seemed to be caught and tightened by something. Secretly sigh impermanence. I don't know what can resist nothingness, but beauty can always do something. So this movie is that beauty. Beauty can evoke memory and reverie from the senses. As long as there are thoughts and activities, there will be related production. Beauty can make the skirt corners swept lightly on the pedals of the 18th century carriage, and the hair between the huge feathers. The floating powder, all of a sudden, is in front of you. These "shards of remarks" that can confirm the connection, likewise, confirm my meaning.
