Debord John Frankheimer's The Birdman of Alcatraz, based on a true story, Robert Stroud, rebellious and irritable, was sentenced to 12 in 1909 for murder In 2008, he killed the jailer who prevented his mother from visiting the prison and faced life in prison. The turning point of his life came from his accidental discovery of an injured little sparrow. The careful care not only made the little bird's injury better day by day, but also gradually repaired his scattered mind and long-broken disposition. Prisons also found that allowing prisoners to keep birds would directly help reduce management costs, and they advocated it. Eventually, Robert Stroud became an internationally renowned ornithologist, the "Birdman of Alcatraz," experimenting in prison, medicating, and publishing monographs.
The word bird breeder reminds us of Beijing Renyi's play "Bird People" - a story about a group of urban "idlers" related to birds: the former famous Peking Opera actor San Ye, who is good at raising birds, is well-mannered when it comes to singing, reading and fighting. From time to time, he tells about the cultural connotation and bitterness behind the behavior of bird raising. He is the spiritual leader of a gang of birders. Humans and birds have built a mutual understanding, which has become a reversal of the reality of the decline of Peking Opera and no successor, and it is also the third master's rehearsal of an ideal world. Ding Paulo, a psychoanalyst who returned from overseas, tried to cure the mental illnesses of these bird farmers and dig deep into the various problems of the national subconscious, so he set up a mental rehabilitation center for bird people. In the end, the third master gave him a psychoanalysis in the way of "Bao Gong's trial", and staged absurd farces.
The relationship between the two kinds of "bird people" and the two kinds of urban bird farmers and birds can be compared to the two possibilities of "self-organization" of vulnerable groups: the former, with the attitude of "healing", cares for vulnerable groups carefully, and treats them with care. It is regarded as a means of guarding self-moral perfection; the latter, with the attitude of "cultivation theory", brings oneself and vulnerable groups into a scene of mutual encounter, and jointly builds a way to the unknown field. From the attitudes of two bird breeders towards birds, we can clearly understand: In Robert Stroud, the premise of personal value establishment is that birds are victims of diseases, and there is no possibility of their own cure, so they need people With the help of people, we can continue those basic survival guarantees; and in Sanye, the value of personal behavior lies in the realization of those unsustainable ambitions in people from the bird. With his careful teaching, birds can be separated from their natural life attributes, and under a series of disciplines in line with aesthetic connotations, they have become famous names sought after by bird breeders. Simply put, it is "people are after birds", not "birds are in need of people".
