Li Ao died in March.
Starting in March, from Givenchy, Hawking to Li Ka-shing, some people say that the era has ended three times. Perhaps it is the fourth time for Li Ao? !
In Li Ao's "Monologue under Tradition", there is such an article-"Speaking from a trace of nothing". He talked about Hollywood's sexy actress Monroe and granted a photojournalist the patent right to take almost naked shots.
"I want the whole world to see my body",
Monroe's "naked enthusiasm" had a great impact on the straight man Li Ao.
Compared with the appreciation and praise of the flesh in the West, the Chinese regard human flesh as abnormal and shameful. However, even if the Chinese concept of human nature lags far behind Western products, it still cannot stop the progress of modern civilization:
"From the opening of the body to shortening the skirt, from shortening the skirt to putting on silk socks, and then putting on nylon socks with every success, what a modern look! How can it make old stubborn people unable to do anything!"
In his article, the old man expressed his sincere appreciation to the Chinese people (women) who should be free and free for decades. This is a great era.
Food and sex are also the unity of knowledge and action. In addition to facing the body, Li Ao himself practiced this logic without scruples. It is said that one of the old hobbies during his lifetime was watching Japanese adult action movies, and the most admired actress was Maru Ozawa.
Li Ao is lustful, so famous. On his 66th birthday, he celebrated his birthday with the audience on the TV variety show. The program team did what they wanted and arranged for a naked naked girl to appear (the mosaic here should be), and presented Li Ao with a huge "male X cake" ". Li Ao, a bohemian, has never concealed the joy of sex in his life. During the "legislator" period, Li Ao, in order to oppose the arms purchase case, publicly showed three naked photos on the questioning stage, and the audience was dumbfounded.
"A Monologue in Tradition" was published in the mainland in 2000, and 18 years have passed.
A few days ago, the best film at the Academy Awards, "The Shape of Water" by the Mexican Spinner was staged in China. Amazon mythology, cross-species abnormal love, and the continuation of the dark style of "Pan's Labyrinth", these points are not very popular. Instead, it is the nude scene of the heroine who was forced to wear a little black dress, which caused negative aspects. topic.
This is not the first time this has happened. Recalling the previous screenshots of "Blade Runner 2049", you can see the routines of the relevant departments, or the helpless action of the film party, or the PS screenshots, can not be cut, just wear a skirt? ?
Body and sex originally represent human reproduction and vitality. You can't be naked, don't know what beauty is, is it aesthetically raping the audience. A smear in front of him, the deletion of the lens and the content of the picture, this behavior itself is simply a desolate irony.
Not only the little black dress, but also a scene where the heroine masturbates.
At the beginning of "The Shape of Water", the director described the heroine masturbating in a beautiful way. The movie monologue said that the heroine is a "princess". When the princess gets up, the first thing is to take a bath and boil white water eggs for breakfast. The daily compulsory course is the same as breakfast. It is soaking in water to give yourself a little satisfaction. As the white water boiled to boiling point, the heroine twitched slightly in the bathtub.
The hostess was born with a disability and was a cleaner. She will fall in love with amphibians because she is complete in front of him. The desire to pursue more love and joy in life is very clear in the heroine. These scenes are the key to the director's portrayal of love through small bodies and sexual plots. Pleasure in life is a natural human right.
The more concealed and private the movie shots are, the less they can make people look at the body and sex in a healthy and natural way. The film lens also directly (forcibly) expresses our aesthetics. The more sensitive to the flesh, the more shame it implies in our culture.
Inferring from the act of “cutting”, its original intention shows how we define the body (especially the body of a woman), whether the body and sex are filthy, criminal, insulting, or generous, natural, and healthy. "Deletion" also shows the fear of the parties involved. I am afraid it has nothing to do with the classification. Otherwise, you will try the big iron ship 20 years ago.
The morality of Chinese society has always been strict on the surface. However, the boldness and collapse that breed behind has not been seen to be less (again, the small video that was popular in the previous paragraph). Audiences of all ages and children in the movie theater can also enjoy the scenes of physical discomfort, such as blood and flesh, broken limbs, and brain splashes in "Wolf Warriors 2", "Fang Hua" and "Operation Red Sea". It is reminiscent of... Wearing a red scarf stained with the blood of a martyr (OM has a G, which is very bloody for children).
As a result, we cannot see the body on the big screen. At the same time, most people will not experience the destruction of the body by the war machine in their lifetime. What's more, from "Blade Runner" to "The Shape of Water", they were films that were so serious that they couldn't be more serious.
Li Ao talks about traditions, fake Taoism, and talks about women, the body, the paradise in the military, and sex workers. I dare not do it here. His anti-traditional and unruly unruly, once enlightened a generation of young people. For his judgment, in this age of half-dead and incomplete movie watching, there is obviously mixed praise and criticism from all walks of life.
Anyway, belonging to Li Ao's era, may have disappeared twenty years ago. In other words, the era when Li Ao bid farewell was still getting worse.
