A term that is commonly used recently is called "pattern matching", which is a mathematical concept and a psychological term. How to describe it more aptly?
Pattern matching in psychology is a kind of [unthinking emotional response]. For example, when I mention the old society, I think of "all evils", when I talk about Japan, I curse "ghosts" angrily, and when I hear the name Lu Xun, the image of a literary standard-bearer appears in my heart. Pattern matching isn't good, not only because it's lazy, but because it's so impersonal.
You see, in the movie "Paper Man", if you want to describe the encounter between the hero and heroine, there is a word in Chinese that is more suitable: encounter. Encounter, what a beautiful word! It should be from the Book of Songs. In fact, it doesn't matter where it comes from. When you see these two words, they are only literal, as if they have a natural romantic atmosphere. Perceptually, I am more willing to sincerely admire and admire the beauty brought by the unique uncertainty of Chinese. If we analyze the pattern matching of the word "encounter" and discuss the issue of self-identification from the perspective of rational thinking, everything will be boring.
We are used to being boring. But after watching "Paper Man", you should also have some emotions. If life is white bread, then love is salted egg yolk.
In fact, we are all paper people. The American Empire is stronger, so it is a paper tiger. In the world of paper people, there are superior leaders who stare at people with two big nostrils, subway buses that come and go, three meals and four seasons, rain, dew, and frost. It's just that these elements that make up life are too thin, lacking thickness, lacking color, and lacking a little impulse. Some people say that "Paper Man" made him see the great power of love, and love gives courage. In fact, it is not. Strength and courage ultimately come from one's own heart. However, what love gives birth to is precisely an impulse, a primitive instinct. We can use this impulse to break the routine and arouse many unexpected potentials-suddenly riding the wind and flying up 90,000 miles.
It's not easy to describe, you can refer to the "inertia" mentioned by the physics teacher. My science is very poor, but in the junior high school class, the teacher said "inertia is not force", which made me suddenly look up and amazed when I was young, and I still remember it fresh.
This is the second of the best short films ever written at the Oscars. I’ve seen a lot of animated short films before, but “Paper Man” was the only thing that touched me and made me feel unpleasant.
Go and try it. Hope you also have a soft and delicious salted egg yolk.
