Some time ago, I read Yang Zhao's "China in the Classics" and read his classic works on the history of Chinese thought construction. When I read some of them, I could feel a slight regret: if the Chinese had chosen this This kind of ideology instead of that kind of ideology, and turn it into the personality DNA and social DNA of the Chinese people, will our society be a little better? Isn't our existence so difficult?
But it can't be all over again. At such a moment, the Chinese can only choose that kind of system, first to solve the current problems, to endure the survival and disputes first, and to talk about the future problems later, even in the next few thousand years, they will have to pay a heavy price for it. . At the moment when the mind is set, those with top-level design power have chosen such a system, and in a planned and step-by-step manner, shaped the Chinese people into such a person. We can only perform role-playing according to this result. Keep going down and predicting the future.
"Animal World", directed by Han Yan and starring Li Yifeng, is adapted from the comics of Nobuyuki Fukumoto, and has a very wonderful performance in terms of visual effects. In visually-oriented films, too many visual effects often bring about a consequence, that is, visual effects for visual effects, which have no deep relationship with the content. But Director Han Yan turned the visual effects into the content itself. For example, in which the characters turn into animals, and the characters' sensory explosions are closely related to the story and the characters' characters. It explains the situation at that time, the psychological state of the characters, and even makes The audience feels the sensory stimulation of the characters. In this way, the pursuit of visual effects becomes a matter of course. It is precisely because of the content of the visual effects that this uncomplicated story can last for two hours with high-intensity tension.
Other than that, the film is ideologically pursued. In fact, it is also discussing a question, what should you do if you are designed as a gambler, what should you do if you are designed as a humanoid animal, and in this big gambling game in the current society, what should people who are involved in the gambling game do?
This gambling game was designed by those who are at the peak of power. They have already figured out the weaknesses of human nature, and based on these weaknesses, they have formulated a set of rules, so that all those who enter the gambling game will harm each other and kill each other, so that the whole society can become a An animal world full of lies, distrust and carnage. so that they can profit from it. Even making profit is not their ultimate pursuit, they also use it for entertainment, which is a more terrifying motive than profit. If you don't have a certain position, you don't have a certain power, you can't experience this kind of hearty and vivid entertainment that takes people as entertainment and society as entertainment.
So, instead of entering this gambling game, be a free-spirited faction, and imagine how wide Kunpeng's wings are, how beautiful the singing of whales in the sea is, and how glorious the world of gods beyond the clouds is, is that okay? Can not. Whether it is Zheng Kaisi or Zheng Kaisi's father, or Li Jun and Meng Xiaopang, as long as they are born human, they must be part of this gambling game, they must be short-sighted, hypocritical and cunning, or be animals, or be clowns, or be An accomplice, a butcher. Are you not motivated to gamble? you don't need money? It's okay, they have their own way of making you lose wealth, owe debt, and possibly even lose family and friends.
You only have to join the game and play with others and play with them with all your strength. Of course, you will lose the game with them, because they are the biggest dealers and master everyone's cards, chips, and psychological state. They also Responsible for making rules ("no rules" in the movie is actually a rule), making order, and sending thugs and murderers to spread all kinds of news. This story seems unrealistic and has nothing to do with reality, but in fact, it tells reality everywhere, it goes directly to the core of reality, and tells us what "reality" is, no matter how it dresses up.
In such a process of passively entering the gambling game, every gambler has actually been changed. You will regard the gambling game as inevitable, and you will feel that becoming a gambler is your only destiny, which cannot be changed, nor need to be changed, and try your best to study it. The game technology of "rock-paper-scissors" even regards it as a lifelong mission, painting this technology with wonderful colors, adding aura, and turning it into a religion and a god. After thousands of years like this, you have never imagined what you should be like and what kind of life you would be in if you didn't have this gamble.
In this story, Zheng Kaisi won, and in the next two sequels (it is said that there will be three in this series), Zheng Kaisi will definitely win. The bandit-filled and enthusiastic "I have already fought those battles" will inevitably reappear, but from another perspective, those who win are not necessarily losers. But fortunately, Zheng Kaisi did not admit defeat, and what he wanted to destroy was not an enemy, but the "game". This is also an attitude we wish to have.
