"Baby Bao": the sensitive word "tradition"

There is no warmth, no darkness, and no combination of the two. The film is only eight minutes long, and it's so small that it doesn't hold much analysis.

Maybe because the end of the period is approaching. The tedious things in real life make me irritable. Regarding movies, this emotion is concentrated in several aspects, such as being unable to watch, unwilling to conduct rational analysis, disgusting symbolism and eager to refute dissent.

It is said that Bao Bao Bao satirizes the current deformed family education in China, reflects traditional ethical concepts, and expresses dark and even cruel facts in a tender way. I don't understand, are you ignoring the mission of a bun?

Steamed buns are for eating, and his mission is to fill one's stomach. On rare occasions, it was also used to beat dogs.

I mean, the symbolic meaning of "character relationships" in the film is by no means limited to the family. All the thinking based on "traditional family education" is subjective, if it sounds good, it is subjective, and if it sounds ugly, it is just like what others say. Immediately afterwards, I slammed the "pedantic" and "rigid" of traditional culture again, standing on the moral high ground and shouting for the so-called "independence of personality". Silly fork.

Face up to tradition, okay? Leaving tradition, how can "I" become "I"? After leaving the past 5000 years, where are you going?

I think of the most admired Chinese director, Ang Lee. When he discussed "filial piety", he said a paragraph, to the effect that he would not convey the concept of "filial piety" to his children, but instead emphasized "respect between people". In short, mutual respect between parents and children is enough. Although I have great love for director Ang Lee's films and admiration for him, I have reservations about what he said. The spirit of deconstructing and redefining "filial piety" is worthy of affirmation; one-sided emphasis on respect is not necessary without careful consideration.

Tradition has hindered the progress and development of science and technology since modern times. Tradition suppresses human nature. Tradition makes us lag behind and bullied. When it comes to tradition, Chinese people have not been able to straighten their waists and keep their eyes from squinting. Are you hated? Are you frightened by a modern history? Or is it because the crusade has become a habit? The meaning of the word "tradition" has changed dramatically, and the derogatory color has become stronger. It seems that just talking about tradition is equivalent to poking at the sensitive points of young people. I don't need to argue more about this. It's just that ideas are born out of facts. In the process of concept formation, if you do not pay attention to the diversity of history and the complexity of facts, allow countless monotonous and shallow concepts to aggregate into concepts, and unthinkingly put on the emotions of pattern matching, then the status quo will be unbearable to the eyes and ears. Can't bear to smell it.

Like other kids, like most people, I grew up in this environment. If there is a problem, the premise of discussing the problem is to examine and reflect on oneself, restrain the hostility, and then talk about it. Just "Baby Bao", just be a foreshadowing of "Dog Thirteen"!

"Study from the Building" is interestingly written. We don’t know the monarch, the minister, the minister, but the father, the son, and the son can still say a few words. Do you think it's better for the father to be like the father and the son to be like the son, or is it good that the father is not like the father and the son is not like the son?
