If people do not have ideals, then what is the difference with salted fish

On the premiere day, after watching the movie in theaters, I expected that the movie would definitely be criticized, not from professionals, but from die-hard fans of Starry Night. Suddenly I thought of the very distinctive term in Taiwan's election, "basic disk". Most of the criticisms this time must come from Xing Ye's "basic plan". There is only one reason. These people can't find the nonsense funny in the original Stephen Chow movies, and replace them with warm elements. In my opinion, Mr. Stephen Chow's film is a guide to social values, not blind obedience. Only from here can we see the real thoughts of a real filmmaker. In today's society, we must admit that the current society has been completely "bubble", young people can throw away all value standards, complete, inflated individualism, this kind of individualism is not that of liberalism A kind of individualism, but the expansion of personality. This expansion directly squeezes social responsibility, and in fact this backlog also comes from the background of the transformation of the entire social value. In other words, society exhibits an ethical pathology. The most prominent feature of this morbidity is the rampant pluralism of absolute value. Everything can be deconstructed and denied, whether it is a hero of the past or an idea worthy of recognition. Stephen Chow's early films can be said to be typical of "deconstructionism". If in the early days we needed the liberation of the self and the awareness of the subjectivity of the self, it is time to reconstruct our own ethics. What should we insist on and what should we deny? These two questions must be answered by the whole society, but the current Chinese society has completely lost its value orientation. Disgusting. Zhou Xingchi's new film can be said to be "rising and rising in a sinking world". Rediscover our ideals and responsibilities, instead of deconstructing everything uselessly, denying all standards, and rushing for some vulgar things. Zhou Xingchi's film is not to flatter the blind masses, but to lead a direction, representing the ideal of a film worker to rebuild our social morality. Li Ao said that people who do literature and art work are not to flatter the masses, but to lead the whole society. Works that flatter the masses are doomed to be rotten and lifeless, because the masses who move blindly will soon change their direction, and only works that lead the masses can express their own value. People need ideals, and they also need to realize their responsibilities.
