The recoil of filming a villain's film review is always very strong, and every time a movie stays in my mind for a lot longer than expected, I just took a shower and started talking to myself unconsciously. This time I'm talking about Polanski's "I Accused". I don't care much about the movie. I just read it because I happened to read a book about the Dreyfus incident. There is a lot of talk in the show, but it will be more messy, because it is all temporary thinking, or have inspiration in the bathroom, and organize the thinking more clearly. What attracts me most about analyzing this film is that it connects the historical situation at the time, the authorship of the director, and the controversies and gossips off the field. Because both the director's intention and the artwork itself, including historical and real events, have gradually become their own closed loops, and either one is justified, and the worst case is Rashomon. This will prevent the discussion from going further, which is how the regrets of history come. And since Polanski chose to retell the story of Dreyfus, he actually created an opportunity, intentionally or unintentionally, for several complex closed loops to meet, just like turning over the archives of different years and years, and providing people with a heart. New friction and lubricants. Of course, analysis at this level cannot be used to hold accountability, and it is not just about film reviews. I think the purpose of broader cultural criticism is not to judge or redeem a specific person, but to find ways to open up space and detect gaps as a whole. , because history and reality are both folded, and art is a little freer, so in addition to aesthetic experience and existential destiny, we should also go there to discover the secret of change.
