How powerful is speech? If we borrow Foucault's perspective, it can be concluded that both sides of the debate can gain strength from the debate. Discrimination and anti-discrimination remarks, it seems that the former stands on a politically incorrect standpoint, but in fact the latter is only able to speak out from the refutation of discriminatory remarks.
Lu Xun said: "Whenever a person's proposition is applauded, it promotes its progress, and if it is opposed, it promotes its struggle, and it only shouts among strangers, but the strangers do not respond, neither agree nor disagree. Opposition, such as being in a boundless wasteland, is unpredictable."
Yes, it is almost impossible to make sense without the voice of the enemy, and it is the voice of opposition that makes his voice gradually stronger.
I don't think that verbal conflict or offense is a big deal, even if it is discriminatory remarks, as long as you don't directly attack the other party personally or deprive the discriminated person of their interests, I don't think it's a big deal. There are many differences between people, and there are those who are not used to it. If it rises to the level of discrimination, it may also be out of instinctual disgust. I have always hated moralists, but I don't think it can stop people from speaking up. For example, if Lu Liping wants to express her position on homosexuality, I think this is their right; of course, if you scold Lu Liping, this is also your right.
After watching this film and then looking at China, I have to admit that in some respects, freedom of speech in our country has really reached an unrestricted level. I have browsed several forums in the United States, and some dirty words are not allowed to appear, and they are replaced by XX - this shows that the netizens are very rational and have good literacy. But many big forums in our country are not taboo against dirty words. There are strictly forbidden speeches, which you and I understand.
The funniest character in the film should be the gay director, who is Jewish and white. He's against gay jokes, but if you tell lesbian jokes, he'll laugh with them; he's not against Jewish jokes either, but one thing, you can't say Jews are stingy. His reasoning: You can tell the jokes about Jews that people often talk about, anyway, the stereotypes of Jews built by these jokes have already been formed, and it doesn't matter how many times you tell them; but, at least for now People don't think Jews are stingy yet. If you joke that Jews are stingy, you will create a new bad image about Jews. This is absolutely opposed!
He also opposed jokes against black people. At the beginning, he said: You can ask a black person to tell your joke, so that there is no problem of racial discrimination; then the black person got angry and left, and he thought that all jokes about black people should be withdrawn, on the grounds: If there are black people among us (the filmmakers), no problem, joke about black people casually; but we are all white people, we have no right to joke about black people. The implication - it's okay to laugh at yourself, but it doesn't seem like you should laugh at others.
Although this movie seems to have taken the dirty joke to the extreme, there is still an unbreakable bottom line. For example, the word about black people cannot be said, and it can only be replaced by "that n-word". In the end, everyone will use this word. There was a heated debate about whether it could be used, and the consensus was that it is no problem to say the word XXXXXX, and a girl still reminded that, in fact, we can use the word "snicker" instead, because the words of these two words are used. The mouth shape is almost the same. However, when people recklessly said the word starting with n, the movie deliberately silenced it.
At the end of the film, three producers were sentenced to 25 years. When the gay director was still arguing for his "great ideal", the black judge showed the boxing that blacks are good at. The director said: Good Well, I'd rather spend 25 years in prison.
Very ironic movie, isn't it?
