There are some contrasting elements in this, I repeat here, for example, the black and white of the skin color, the poor and the rich of the family, the strong and weak of the body, the serious and loose learning, all appear in the movie, but as a promotion of American values A concept film, which beautifies most of the actors.
For example, when Michael was not serious about his studies, the teacher was able to sort out the essays he wrote in the trash basket, and analyzed with other teachers to help the poor child; his adoptive father suddenly adopted the little Michael from his wife. However, the big guy has no objections (or behaved too calmly); the younger son has always been caring about Michael, and the younger daughter is willing to accept him as the big brother after experiencing a little psychological fluctuation to Michael; coach, personal teacher And the members of the gang, the attitude towards Michael is also friendly.
People care for each other, help each other, there is no contradiction, no conflict, isn't this a paradise on earth?
The villains include elderly fans who hate black players, female menopause investigators who are rational and mean, and a group of middle-class desperate housewives who are adopted by their adoptive mothers. They are either moved by Michael's skills, or by Michael's sincerity, or by the holiness of Michael's adoptive mother. Infect. In a word, they were harmonized.
Disharmonious voices quickly disappeared, replaced by love and regret. While facing the cruelty of life and the humbleness of human nature, they only expressed a little inner opinion and were melted by a kind of "great love." It can be seen that one of the things Americans pursue is trying to surpass their own freedom and face their own ugliness.
Therefore, this article is titled Liberalism and Redemption. American democracy and freedom pursue happiness, freedom and happiness for everyone. But behind this kind of appeal, there are most unsuccessful and unhappy people. Shame, and I will be proud of my salvation.
Redemption is because I feel that I am enjoying myself and I owe it to the world. While I am happy, I have not forgotten most of my unhappy compatriots. I think this is a kind of "great love." This kind of love is the love of Chinese religion. The shadow of religion is also seen in the details of the film. For example, the prayers that everyone hand in hand before the meal reflects a kind of tender connection between people.
After watching the movie, the sincerity in many people's hearts is aroused, which is also something the director may want to achieve. By arousing the sympathy of ordinary people in front of every screen, his goal may be achieved. (At the same time box office sales)
In contrast, Chinese movies, as Director Feng said, like people dancing with fetters, under the strict supervision of the Film Bureau, their creation is subject to certain restrictions and it is difficult to make good movies. I think that Jia Zhangke’s films face humanity, and there seems to be a humanistic spirit in it, that is, attention to ordinary people and attention to reality. Anyway, there will be a real power to touch some people’s hearts, and that’s enough. .
Others made "Three Shots" (not underwear), "I have seen the uncle" (not Chunge), wait for the film, it has nothing to do with this inspirational warmth drama of my Pinglu, but naked violence and horror, rotating The star appearance like sushi, and the attitude of focusing on the center and focusing on the grand narrative, made me see a little difference.
The difference is that after watching the above-mentioned domestic films, I wanted to scold someone, but I didn’t know who to scold, and I was panicked. After watching this small American movie, I felt a little warm, warm, and gentle, as I expected. When the flesh and youth plots deviate from each other, I can see it too, and I think it looks pretty, a little touched, this is the difference.
Finally, I wish us filmmakers: Happy not to be lost, and salvation not to forget, it is enough.
ps: Send a little grumble, New Year's greetings to friends who read my Xiaowen Happy New Year, everything goes smoothly.
