Let’s briefly review the simple life of Americans. As everyone often says, because of the superior system, foreigners are too simple, their minds are simple, and their experiences seem complicated but simple. Only a species like us, who has lived under a strange system for thousands of years, will "survey up and down" and doubt life from generation to generation. The time that others use to enjoy life, we all use it to doubt, so what a deep nation we are.
In the United States, in this young country, a child has been nurtured by Christianity (or education from other religions) and baptized in the concept of democracy and freedom. When he grows up, he will experience rock and roll, marijuana, leftism (maybe promiscuity), and socialism. I met my beloved girl at the dance, got married in the white and flawless wedding dress, collar and church, and then began a regular life. From then on, I gained all the satisfaction of life from now on in my religious beliefs and became conservative. Temperance, piety to even staid.
Even in difficult times, they live well, they have almost never been discouraged, and they don’t understand what the human tragedy caused by the system is (and we don’t understand, because the human world caused by the emptiness of fucking feelings) What is the tragedy? In fact, no matter in history or in movies, you can hardly see that American movies direct problems to social systems. They are best at appealing to the spiritual world of individuals. Even if they discuss the impact of culture on society, they are only Limited to one family, such as "American beauty" and
"Road to Revolution" are also such exploratory films.
The tragedy of Aibo and Frank is also one of the common tragedies of the middle class in the United States. At the end of the story, Frank was inspired by Aibo, and after exploring with passion, he found that his heart was barren. In fact, he has never wanted to admit that, as a small staff member, he enjoys this kind of "there is a good-looking person by his side, at home. There is a cooking "love and life, but full of ideals in life, Aibo had to face the punishment of "marrying the wrong man". Although he died (I think abortion has a religious meaning in the United States), he still doesn't regret it. The story In one of the endings, Frank stared blankly at the two innocent and romantic children who had lost their mothers---is he thinking, children, you are very happy now, when you grow up, life is just like this, another ten For a few seconds, the camera cuts to the old couple on the revolutionary road. The old woman touched the cat in her arms affectionately, and talked to the old man about the couple who was once different. The old man let go With the newspaper in his hand, he slowly took off the hearing aid--in Chinese words, the loess was buried in his neck, and he didn't want to bear it anymore. The picture was frozen.
The Aibo couple (it should be Aibo himself, to be precise) used their own efforts to explore the future with an old photo in Paris, and their efforts to break the setting of life ended in tragic failure. The disturbance made by the Aibo couple made almost every family feel a crisis. Frank’s good colleague, at a family gathering, suddenly ran to the backyard emotionally, pinched his hands together and stood in a daze with his head bowed. Wife After chasing it out, he said pitifully: Don't mention the Franks anymore, okay? To be honest, I despise this person the most. He dared to have sex with Aibo in the car, but he chose to shrink in the face of his own crisis. Life in the small town has gradually returned to calm. What is more absurd is that through the gorgeous veil, The person who revealed the essence of life turned out to be a mentally ill person. In the hysteria of a family gathering, he pointed to Aibo's belly and said: I am very glad that I am not the baby in your belly, and I don't have to be born into this world.
Most of the scenes in the film are blue sky and white clouds, green grass shades, suits and hats, and a small courtyard with green trees covering a hundred flowers, showing the so-called peaceful life of a group of well-dressed middle-class people who seem to be happy and quiet. But the occasional scenes are thrilling. They are almost full of ugliness in middle-aged men. The slightly raised abdomen of middle-aged men, the loose skin of women and the crow's feet that cannot be concealed, the monotonous sunrise and sunset every day. The scoop..... The most terrifying thing is the increasingly closed heart and withered soul. For example, Mrs. Milly, even thinking about someone who dared to say goodbye to today’s life can scare them into tears. The director is kind, he deliberately The plot of the child is weakened. The couples in the film are all families with children, but there are few children. The image of the child is like a piece of paper in this movie-because the child is not the cause of the crisis. .
As an Aibo who pursues the diversification of life as his life goal, the longest scene is the constant nervous smoking and tears. The tears have drained her no longer young face. She is so different and this kind of courage. Harmony and ideals made her shine at the dance party. She was legendary in the small town for a while. She enthusiastically explored the different possibilities of life, and used her life to complete the resistance to the patterned life.
The secular power is so great, and it is the same everywhere on the earth. In this sense, the earth is full of pig pens with different levels of modernization. Breaking through the walls is commendable, but if it is not strong enough, If you don’t do it well, you’ll be battered, and then go back to live your old life, or even never go back, just destroy it. Like the maverick pig in Wang Xiaobo's works, those who dismiss the setting of life and can escape successfully, almost only exist in the imagination. What's more, the life that Aibo wants to break through is the life of a complete family. Life is no longer what she can carry on her own ideals.
Exploring the meaning of life is a terrible adventure, because not every body contains a soul. Although American children receive a superior education, they have a Graduation GAP when they are young to travel everywhere and see the beauty and beauty of the world. University They can feel the impact of multiple thoughts at times, but this does not mean that they can understand the meaning of life and have enough ability to solve the spiritual crisis in life. As we have seen, they enter life and grow up gradually. Virtue?
We can be slightly relieved that this kind of crisis will not arise in China. China is past middle age and has no middle class. The ancient Chinese saying: humbly and subtly, it is an unbreakable truth, in the words of a certain leader. : "People who have nothing to do when they are full ×××××", even Russell said: People who worry about the next meal have no psychological crisis. China has always lived in fear of survival, and generations of people have never escaped. Fear of hunger, novels such as "To Live" have successfully revealed the full meaning of life. The great achievement of life is: being alive. Therefore, it may be difficult for us to understand that you live in a small villa in a noble community. There are flowers and grass in the backyard, a small forest at the door, a car at home, both children and a husband. What else do you think? At present, we are all happily and diligently every day but that's all.
When I was about 10-15 years old, one day, when I went to work in the fields, when I passed the mainland, one or two four-wheeled tractors lifted up the loess and went away without any dust. While the loess was flying, I saw the tractor driving. The young man, wearing a dusty brown leather jacket, with his hair curled up and shaking slightly, he dangled a cigarette, and turned the steering wheel in a vivid manner. On the baffle of the wheel sat his wife, supporting her husband’s back. , Amidst the bumps, sitting steadily, headscarf fluttering, full of confidence, happiness and pride are uttered, they whizzed by like a sudden wind, four-wheel tractor pulled a cart of grain or cotton, at that moment I I just thought, this is the whole meaning of love and life. All over the world, it is better to be; more than ten years have passed, the American people are struggling to survive the middle-class crisis, and love and life are still the same for us, but BMW and Benz have replaced it. The tractor, the co-pilot's mistress replaced the original one.
Therefore, we did not point to the inner middle class crisis in this way, because China does not have a group called the middle class at all. China does not have this type of film work. Just look at "Mobile Phone" and "Sigh". The so-called crisis is nothing more than this.
