This is called science fiction, but it is actually an adventure film like "Alice in Wonderland". Modern children, traveling into the future, have insight into the true face of the world, and then try to change the world. Such stalks are actually relatively old-fashioned. If you don't play well, you will hurt your body. "Future World" belongs to not playing well. In fact, the time-travel drama is just a simple time-travel, using fantasy as a big gimmick, like "Alice in Wonderland"; saving the world can also be simpler, like "X-Men: Days of Future Past", the characters There are many, and the story line seems complicated. In fact, all the plots are based on the theme of "reversing the future", which is simplified and more beautiful. "Future World" wanted to talk too much, but it ended up being a smashed performance, and whether the cost could be recovered in the end became a question.
The story of "Future World" is actually the extension of the following little story.
"In the snow-capped northern North America, there lives a group of Cherokee people, and their tribe has an old story -- one night, when the old man and his grandsons were chatting around the hearth, the old man said: "Children, in the people's In the depths of his heart, two wolves have been living. The two wolves have been engaged in a fierce battle. One is an evil wolf, which represents fear, hypocrisy and lies; the other is a kind wolf, which represents bravery, honesty and love. "
After listening to Grandpa's words, the children were silent and thoughtful.
"After a while, one of the children asked: 'In the end, which wolf won? "The vicissitudes of life grandpa replied: "The one you fed!" ""
"Future World" turns the two sides of the wolf into one side is darkness and despair, the other side is light and hope. The future change of the world depends on the choice of human hearts, whether to choose darkness and despair, or light and hope, whichever one chooses, which way the world will become. This is the core idea that is being told throughout the film.
In "The Fantastic Drifting of the Young Pi", in the heart of the young Pi is not two wolves fighting each other, but a tiger. This tiger is entrenched in the heart of Pai, and in the desperate situation above the vast ocean, it begins to fight against the rationality of Pai, sometimes the human side prevails, sometimes the tiger nature prevails, until it drifts to the shore, and finally After being rescued, the tiger called Richard Parker, who had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, finally disappeared with a flick of its tail on the shore of human beings in modern society.
In "Future World", the adult Walker (George Clooney and the young Newton (Brittany Robertson)) are represented, which correspond to the two wolves of the dark despair and bright hope in the human heart. They have passed through to the future. Then he saw the true face of the future of the world, and learned that the earth will face the end, no matter how human beings are redeemed, it cannot be changed, so Walker chose to stay behind and live in decadence; and Newton also needed to face In the same world, she understands that human beings will be destroyed, but she hopes to use the bright side of human hearts to reverse the inevitable changes in the world and turn the apocalyptic world into a place of hope.
Newton's discoveries and expectations actually have There is a certain scientific basis. Most of today's human beings are ignorant about the future, only care about their own life, and regard the value of living as the greatest motivation for life. But there is a collective above the individual. The collective activities of human beings, the existence beyond the individual, This has caused excessive consumption of the world's resources, and elements such as wars and disasters have accelerated the carrying capacity of the earth. One day, the earth will not be able to afford it, and a shuffle will be carried out to wipe out the entire human world. Be pessimistic, After 200 years, the underground resources on the earth will almost be fully exploited by human beings, and then human beings will face a serious crisis of survival. In 200 years, it will not be long. Even if the earth does not punish human beings, but with the consumption of the sun's own energy, the earth rotates The change in trajectory will also end its lifespan after 5 billion years, and begin to merge and collide with other stars in the universe to form new stars. In any case, the future earth will die, which is an irreversible fate .
Just like, people will eventually die, whether they live to 80 years old or live to 100 years old, the disappearance of individual life will be an irreversible ending. Depressed patients are often more aware of this point than normal people, so depressed patients are often accompanied by world-weariness and suicidal tendencies. In their view, since the ending is inevitable, then a person's life, whether wealthy or noble, does not have much meaning. Every human being has one death. Moreover, this kind of emotion is useless by persuasion, because objectively speaking, they can see it more clearly than ordinary people. It is a kind of disease in itself. It is caused by the abnormality of the nervous system. to ordinary people. Therefore, let the normal thinking PK the abnormal thinking, the result is like a person who has not received professional training and a professional-level Liu Xiang competing in the hurdles. It is only reasonable to rely on physical therapy with drugs to suppress the overexcited part of the nerves and restore them to the state of ordinary people.
The part of "Future World" that represents darkness and despair is like a patient suffering from depression. The overexcited nerves make them see through the truth of the whole world too early, so that they are passively shunned, and wait for their lives. The end is coming. Under this kind of thinking, the demise of the earth will also be more inevitable. The grotesque sci-fi film "Depression" is to look at the destruction of the earth from the perspective of a depressed patient. When that day comes, all normal human beings are in a panic, but the depressed patient becomes happy and calm, because she knows this book. It was the result she was waiting for. Now that the result has come, it's just a matter of accepting it naturally.
However, the possibility of human beings as a whole being replaced by depression does not exist. For more people, the future world is in front of them, like a "veil of ignorance", ignorant. The so-called "curtain of ignorance", "Thank God, You Are Here" hosted by Cui Yongyuan is a very vivid setting. As an actor, when you come to a play, you don't know what your role is. At this time, your The choice will not be affected by known factors, but will follow the instinctive reaction, make instinctive judgments according to the changes in the scene, and then intervene in the role you want to play. In fact, the "veil of ignorance" originates from an ethical concept, a concept proposed by Rawls. The main idea is that people should not be disturbed by past factors, avoid the constraints of vested interests, and then make objective and fair judgments.
Open the veil of ignorance and face the future world, what should we do? There is also a concept of "animal spirits" in economics, which was proposed by economists Akerlof and Robert Shiller, two scholars who won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Facing the situation of economic development, Keynesianism emphasizes the need to strengthen government intervention and intervene in economic development by means of macro-control, so as to obtain better development results; while the Austrian school believes that all altruistic behaviors are fleeting, and only absolute Selfishness is purely rational behavior. Therefore, the government should withdraw from its intervention in the economic field to the greatest extent possible, allow the market to give full play to its own role, and finally reach a balance point for economic development, which is an effective development model. However, Keynesianism and the Austrian School, the two major schools of thought, both have hypothetical premises. Keynesianism assumes that the government is controlled by a sage like Confucius, that the government will only do good things, not bad things, and will only promote economic development, with no selfish pursuit; Austrian school admits that human nature is selfish, In economic activities, everyone is an adult, and everyone's selfishness has formed a rational economic person, and everyone's self-judgment should be respected. But "animal spirits" tell people that the economic world is not like this, because in the final analysis, the economy cannot be separated from people, and human nature plays a considerable role in the economy. In addition to the visible hand of regulation and the invisible hand of the market, the government also has a third "predatory hand". The government itself is a rational broker and has a greedy absorption of the market. And individual rational people, after they merge into the collective, will also become blind people, become part of the "collective irrationality", become a "rabble crowd", and will unconsciously obey the control of a few people and lose themselves. In this way, both Keynesianism and the Austrian School have misunderstandings. Therefore, "animal spirits" came into being. Like the current changes in China's stock market, Robert Shiller has long demonstrated in "Irrational Exuberance", and he has rigorously analyzed and judged the changes in the stock market. Facts have also proved that people in the stock market are often irrational. Most of them follow the changes of the broader market unconsciously and blindly follow up. In the end, only a few people such as Buffett really make a fortune. In addition to the stock market, the development of the entire economy also has irrational factors, that is, "animal spirits". In the same economic situation, in the face of the Great Depression in the United States in the 1930s, President Herbert Hoover was helpless, and the situation collapsed again and again. After Franklin Roosevelt came to power, he used economic policies to give the people hope and hope. Confidence, it reversed the economic collapse and quickly embarked on a new prosperity.
This is the key. Herbert Hoover made hopeless people become hopeless and could not get out of the mudflat, while Franklin Roosevelt gave the nation confidence and hope. Not only economic confidence, but the entire social level, enough confidence has been poured into it. Two wolves, or a tiger, are entrenched in the hearts of the people. Hoover raised the one of gloom and despair, and Roosevelt raised the one of light and hope, and successfully drove away the one that was entrenched in people's hearts. Tiger on the top. As a result, the U.S. economy has achieved rapid development, and it has defeated the German Nazis and Japanese militarism, and by the way has made the United States the world's largest economy. The importance of light and confidence to society as a whole is therefore self-evident.
In fact, in today's China, society has been in a state of flux since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Some people think that China's economy is dying and there will be a major collapse. Others think that China will maintain its development for at least 20 years. As a result, the interweaving of various information has made China's social confidence in a wavering state. The methods of the government belong to Keynesianism, while the folks are more inclined to the Austrian school, and there is little talk about "the predatory hand" and "animal spirits". However, corruption often stems from the "predatory hand", and "animal spirits" need to improve the quality of the people and the construction of a civil society. At present, these two topics are forbidden areas, so let's talk less.
Going back to "Tomorrow's World", of course, there is no depression in this film, nor does it involve "veil of ignorance", nor "animal spirits", it just externalizes the story of two wolves and transforms Disney's The original intention of the recreation project was to shoot a relaxing and entertaining movie, but because I could not tell the whole story clearly and clearly, I went around and successfully spared myself, squandering a good topic and wasting Mr. Walt Disney's creativity lived up to his expectations. I was also able to jump out of the story and combine knowledge of pathology, psychology, ethics, economics, etc., and talk nonsense.
