The legendary France is proud of freedom, equality and fraternity. For example, our African-French foreign teacher OLALA once said proudly that the French creed is freedom, equality, and fraternity. Then, he provocatively asked, what is the creed of the Chinese? Then I whispered in a low voice... I kept replaying in my heart: establishing the party for the public, governing for the people, three representatives, a harmonious society... As a result, OLALA smiled contemptuously and asked: Is it "serving the people"? So, I feel that we are despised by others. I knew this earlier, so I might as well tell him confidently that the Chinese do not pay attention to any creeds or religions. We are more pragmatic and believe in hard work, bravery, kindness, simplicity... Including the French general election in recent days, these three words are repeated in the candidates' mouths... So, these three words have become something that looks like our school motto. The so-called school motto is something that everyone can read well. Back then, Comrade Liu Pengzhi would lead everyone to shout "Chongde, erudite, innovative and realistic" every Monday, but now that I think about it, I feel really empty. How can these things come true? It 's too stream of consciousness...
The French national training also adheres to this fine tradition~ But the French people implement it well, the upper and lower effects are a bit distorted, and it has become "discreet, ignorant, and promiscuous"... ...This is a problem of comprehension, and I can't change it for a while...
I'm going too far. I want to say this film. This is a World War II film, but it is not a World War II film in the traditional sense that the United States likes. There is no bloody violence, just a film related to World War II... It is a French tradition, focusing on things at the level of consciousness and starting from the details, so the theme is very deep, and the plot is not empty...
It mainly talks about Africans of Algerian descent who helped their suzerain country resist the Nazis. They have never set foot on French soil, but they have to die for the so-called motherland. In fact, the so-called sacrifice is not so noble. For the sake of power, the simplest thing is to love France wholeheartedly, and only want to gain the recognition of France and the dignity of the people. But war can't bring freedom and equal dignity, the French can eat tomatoes, they can't...
The war is won, the damn people are dead, for the country, for the friendship... In fact, the French of African descent have achieved The demands of "liberty, equality and fraternity", to go to war for freedom, to protest for equal tomatoes, to sacrifice for brotherhood... Of course, the French were grateful and accepted their colored brothers. However, the only thing that could not be relieved was the government, which promised to compensate the Algerian people after the war, and then withdrew its decision after the war. Therefore, Algeria is still a colony, and Algerians still do not have equality and dignity. The feeling of "freedom, equality and fraternity" of the French led by the government has gradually faded. Now people of color are still people of color, they can only be French people, not French...
In short, this film is very heavy after watching, and people of color are strong! It is a great honor to fight for your dignity! For example, the actors and directors seem to be French Algerians, and this film really shows the perseverance of the Algerians. If you watch too many Jamel Debbouze films, you will find that he never takes out his right hand, but always puts it in his pocket. In fact, his right hand is not conscious, and he is generally disabled. But he makes fun of it with enthusiasm, Whether it's for fame or for profit, it's all worth admiring! Another example is our foreign teacher OLALA. I have seen so many French-French foreign teachers. No one speaks English better than him, and no one speaks Chinese better than him. Although I don't speak French very well, the lectures are mediocre, and I don't have much patience as a teacher... But, Chinese is really a bit of a fluent answer... Later, the class was boring, so I summed it up, people of color In a position of being discriminated against, in order to obtain equality and dignity, they must work N times more than white people. Therefore, for equality and dignity, they can always be very determined. In fact, the whole life is just to get the dignity that some white people are born with, or can get with a little effort.
The final conclusion is: Human freedom and equality is an endless topic and an impossible goal!
PS: The opening song of "Glorious Years" is very good, it seems to be a Muslim requiem. When 60 years later, Algerian survivors sang this song in front of the tombs of the martyrs of World War II, I realized that when human beings can truly achieve equality and freedom, they are actually buried in the same land after death. With the same epitaph...Alas, the fate is sad~~~~~~~~~~~~
PS: "Glorious Years" was nominated for the Oscar for the most foreign language film award, (how does the Golden Armor compare?) Oscar is not Would love a gloomy film like this, and WWII movies are out of date! But "Eavesdropping Storm" is also a good film! ! ! In addition, "Tuya's Marriage" seems to have won a Silver Bear Award, Zhang Yimou should reflect on it, find a place to wash the smell of copper!
