shackle worth talking about. As the name suggests, it is something that controls us and prevents us from moving forward or unable to move forward. But most of the time, we take being imprisoned for granted, just like Stockholm Syndrome, in the face of a ruler with absolute superiority, we may be grateful for our ability to survive, once the memory, the heart or the fear of the future Imprisoning us for a long time, we will seldom take resistance, but seek adaptation in a very small living space. I think, returning to the earth tells the story of a father and son who got rid of the shackles in a special situation, and finally saved lives and souls.
The background is the earth 1000 years later. General Cypher Ricky and his son Kitay Ricky made a forced landing on the abandoned earth due to a disaster. Facing the ferocious alien monsters and the harsh environment, father and son must learn to work together and trust each other. , trying to find his way home on a dangerous planet. But even more terrifying, they were all imprisoned by a past - when Kitai was a child, Ersa's claws stretched out to her sister, and he couldn't rush out to protect her. From then on, he and his father had an unbreakable fortress. ice.
The mentality of the unreachable
father in the past must be the most difficult to understand, and the dramatic conflict in him must be the most vivid. Cypher is a soldier, and in the Gobi desert, he is fearless and invincible. On the surface, he is steel, but as a father, he is nothing but ordinary. He loves children and hopes to protect them, but subconsciously, because of that incident, he lacks trust in him. In his eyes, children cannot be teammates, only Possibly living under its own umbrella.
In the process of growing up, the child is eager to prove himself. He feels his father's disappointment again and again, and can't restrain his anger. Therefore, when he has only two respirator, he jumps off the cliff with doubts, dissatisfaction, and guilt for his sister's death. I believe that the father also saw the growth of his son at that moment, abandoned the nightmare-like memories of the past, and started the journey of fighting side by side.
From the previous clips (such as the two eating together), it can be seen that the father and son lacked communication for a long time. In the face of long-term shackles, both sides are avoiding and never communicating, which also brings us a lot of inspiration. Just as Winnicott emphasized the mother-infant relationship, the way children get along with their parents in the early days shows important characteristics such as whether their characters are stable or not. This is why the entire film has only two protagonists, but supports the whole world.
The fact that Jaden Smith and his son can cooperate so tacitly and speculate on the child's growth in such a way that it truly corresponds to an old saying: brothers in battle, father and son in battle! These two sentences,
the
subtitle of the heart of the future cannot be obtained , come from the dialogue between Subhuti and the Buddha in the Diamond Sutra, which aims to let us put down the packages in our hearts, travel lightly, and go further. After all, this is a sci-fi work, and many places are not close to reality, but a movie is a tool for expressing ideas after all, and we can see what the director wants to say. The most attractive thing is nothing more than ghost hiding: when there is no fear, it will have an ability similar to invisibility.
The question comes again, how can we stay away from fear, the answer is in the question: let go. There is a classic case in psychology: Aries and a black sheep have always met on a single-plank bridge. Either they fight to the death or die, or there is always a sheep to give in. It's hard to come up with an answer without a hint, but what if Aries just hit 5 million and Black just went bust? What if Aries just got a baby and Heiyang just got divorced? I think everyone already understands that Aries will let, because it has too much and is afraid of losing more, it has been bound by its own future. The problem of crossing the bridge is just an example, if you replace it with fighting gangsters, or seeing monsters as in the movie, Aries will still not act. Therefore, the original ghost (father) and the son can obtain the ghost hidden skills, it is because they can let go of their own small gains and losses, and experience the love of the world and the rise and fall of the race.
A good work of art must be like a gem, with many facets, and it is worthy of speculation from generation to generation. "Return to Earth" is just like this. In a special environment, it inspires us and leads us in a eloquent way. Let's explore the fastest way to start a happy life together.
