British glory

I feel that the film is very lengthy, but it still captures the exquisite feeling of the United Kingdom. Watching this movie itself is also a kind of psychological pleasure. The hero himself is just a soldier, maybe a run-down nobleman, and he has a very strong sense of honor. Watching this movie feels very similar to my accusation of this French movie. Very gloomy, the protagonist has a strong sense of honor. This sense of honor, responsibility, or calling may only be found in the most brilliant times in the West. What the male protagonist thinks is not for money, but to build a career, restore the glory of his ancestors, explore human civilization, and find a way out for the fallen world, at least it is much better than the current Chinese society where money is the same.

1. I don’t know much about the British society before. A lieutenant colonel can live in such a big villa, his wife doesn’t work, and he has servants. I don’t know if it was ancestral property or if the British income was so high at that time, the probability is the latter, after all. At that time, it was a dimensionality reduction blow for the whole world. At that time, it was also the most glorious era in the UK. Social values ​​like money, but they did not suppress other traditional values ​​and beauty. People had a bottom line in doing things. For example, the male protagonist finally gave the waste a horse and all food. Dou's thinking, fuck that fat man to death long ago, and why are there so many things after that?

2. The male protagonist competed with the United States at that time, and described the Americans as savages, for money, for plundering resources, or for the elegant pride of the British, in order to explore humanistic care, and inject new energy into the world. It’s a pity The thing is that the barbarians always win in this world. When it comes to the worship of money, the United States is nothing compared to China. Now China may be that barbarian too, so have confidence in China.

3. The character of the vampire actor who is with him is also very plump, and he likes the feeling of being with the male protagonist very much. It is the kind of distance, but very close feeling, very manly, cherishing each other, and distance. feel

4. For the shaping of the Amazon jungle, deep in the jungle, the natives communicate in Spanish. I think back to the time when the Spaniards landed in the Americas in 1500. At that time, it was still the Ming Dynasty. Two-thirds are actually Spanish. The proud riding skills of the American Indians were actually passed on to the Indians through Spain after 1500. In 1800, the United States slowly began to conquer the new frontier. At that time, it was already For more than 300 years, the Indians do not know how many generations they have passed it on, and they are just awesome. In the depths of the jungle, the big man who has to watch dramas shows the superiority of Western civilization. Those indigenous people are not much different from China in 1800. In the eyes of Westerners, they are similar to slaves. Fortunately, the Chinese have woken up. China Civilization has inner strength

5. The male protagonist is obviously paranoid. There is a saying that only the paranoid can survive, and there is a saying that paranoia changes the world (probably translated like this). This person may have paranoia, but this paranoia is common in the West. Maybe it's God's calling, I just do this thing all my life, it's awesome, that is, these ordinary delusional patients discovered these new worlds and changed the world, of course there are good and bad, But it's definitely better. It is very difficult to produce these people in the soil of China, because China is a realistic culture and an intolerant culture. China always calculates what is the use of this matter and how much money can be made. If you make money, it is awesome, and the rest will be ignored. So you can only be followers. Others discover the new world and follow them to make money. This kind of realistic culture is very useful to make money. For example, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and other Chinese civilization circles can rise rapidly, but no one Exceptionally, from a world-class point of view, they are all cultural deserts. Japan is a little better, but this set of Japanese was also done by an outsider like MacArthur. It depends on the slow evolution of endogenous civilization, and also take a long time
