The director of "Hoover" is still the old cowboy Clint Eastwood. The cinematography of the film can be said to be at the Oscar level. I took a closer look at the cast, screenwriter and protagonist of the story, who are also the top figures in the United States. It can be said that this is a big Hollywood-style production, and behind it is the work that Warner Company focused on. From the last movie about the FBI, "Agent for All", to the current "Hoover", it can be said that The classics of Warner Bros. continue to the forefront, and even after many years, these two films will be classics and widely circulated!
Although the Communist Party has become a negative character in the film, in the environment at that time, the confrontation between the two social camps of the United States and the Soviet Union was the confrontation between the two largest social ideological fields. The Chinese Communist Party had not yet won China's victory at that time. Therefore, the plot in the film can be seen as an attempt to subvert the capitalist organization in the United States, rather than being unfriendly to Chinese audiences. We should look at the story of the film objectively, after all, it is not a documentary, so maybe the Chinese audience will make a more rational evaluation. !
In the movie, Hoover, as a great figure in American history, was concerned about the Oedipus complex and the lack of fatherly love since childhood. As a result, when he grew up, he was psychologically insecure about the outside world, and he only wanted to do his job well. Instead, it has made a great contribution to the United States! Everything has two sides. In terms of his own achievements, he has created history, and no one can surpass him. However, in terms of personal life, he is a homosexual patient, and in the popular cultural concept, such sexual orientation is still unacceptable. Even my own mother can't accept that her son is gay. I feel a little uncomfortable here. I don't doubt Hoover's mother's love for her son, but she can't be tolerant enough with the person she loves the most, not to mention As the general public, there are more prejudices! What I mean here is that although the gay people around us are relatively small, we cannot discriminate or prejudice against homosexuality just because we are normal heterosexuals. We should be more tolerant towards everyone who shares our values. Only a society that is sufficiently inclusive of diversity will become better and better!
Hoover himself is like a coin with two sides, one side is radiant and beautiful, and on the back of him is the other self, we can't say that the back is the dark side, it's just that we don't like the back, it doesn't mean that the back is the same. Oh no. Just like any ordinary person, we have our own advantages as well as our own shortcomings. We can't hate an advantage just because of its shortcomings. The most important thing is that we should look at it in a three-dimensional way. A person, including our world, is not a world of binary opposition, but evaluates a person or a thing from different perspectives. Our world becomes more because we have different perspectives on things. beauty!
The director is braver in showing Hoover's homosexuality on the screen boldly and openly, which is what I admire in particular! For a director, there is no prejudice and narrow-mindedness. For ordinary people, many people cannot accept that the protagonist on the screen is a homosexual. Even in the movie, his mother dislikes her son's sexual orientation. Woolen cloth! What's more, as an ordinary person, it is really very difficult to break the narrowness of people's hearts about love!
I think the director Clint Eastwood has done it. This excellent work allows me to feel the same way, and it can be very beautiful to treat same-sex love, but these people are different from us! He grew up in a lack of fatherly love and a certain Oedipus complex. Our era is the era of pursuing equality and respecting the freedom of love, and also the era of the most freedom for individuals! From the perspective of love freedom, same-sex love can also be beautiful. As bystanders, if we can tolerate other individuals who are different from ourselves, I think this society can become better! In the field of science and art, individuals are liberated and can release greater creativity. We can see the trouble-free situation of "a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend"! Just like in the movie, Martin Luther King, who has long become an American national hero, gave his life to liberate the oppressed and discriminated status of black people and enable equal life between races! In our era, it is not only people who are leaders who have the obligation to call on everyone to treat everyone equally, but as ordinary people, treat others differently from us, treat them equally, and respect each individual!
Art is the most effective medium that can break the narrowness of people's hearts, the most effective way to break through the confinement of human racial discrimination, homophobia, and violent discrimination, so that every audience can examine their own behavior and make the world a better place !
