In the 1970s, national leaders invited Antonioni to make a documentary about China. At the end of the film, the scene of the filming is the Yangtze River Bridge, and the camera freezes on the clothesline "transformed" from the ropes of the bridge, drying the clothes of migrant workers. The leaders were angry, thinking that the director was deliberately using this lens to expose China's backwardness and poverty. Antonioni explained afterwards that it was not intentional, he just happened to see this scene. So the vanity of the state is terrible. In this film, the director is a little too deliberate, whether it is the music or the details he deliberately captures, what he wants to tell us is the emptiness and absurdity under the false appearance of a country. But for our specific audience, the irony is the sadness of the fifty-step smile. Don't you see, during the National Day military parade, various episodes of struggle for the military parade were edited into video, why didn't we watch it with tears in our eyes? When we study various politics, formalism is flying all over the sky. Are we not tired of dealing with it? In the film, at a party rehearsal, the person in charge said that the children's dances were not patriotic enough, which sounded ridiculous, but as far as our national conditions are concerned, from New Democracy to Socialism to Communism, let these doctrines become empty talk, patriotism It is the last armor of the country.
Isaka Kotaro said in "Modern Times" that the country is not just an empty organizational concept that we understand. The country has become a living body, and politics has become the hands and feet of this living body, using all resources to serve the country. The countries we live in are different, and different countries control everything about us. If we work hard for its development and growth, different countries have different ways of life. We just live according to the arrangements of the country and have no choice. Sometimes we shouldn't complain about the misfortune that our country brings to us, because we and the country are inseparable, and have nothing to do with patriotism.
