An Analysis of the Political Ideology of Movies——Take the movie "Borat 2" as an example

The media characteristics of film determine that film is a propaganda tool, a carrier of ideology, and a political propaganda tool. The film "Borat 2" is the top master of playing with ideology in recent years. This article will compare the political ideology presented in the film "Borat 2" with the traditional Chinese political ideology. The film satirizes politics from beginning to end. At the beginning of the film, it was a direct satire of the current US President Trump. The narrator said that Trump made the United States great again. The picture is indeed a group of American red necks holding up the Nazi flag; and the whole world. Tough presidents have established good relations, including Kim Jong-un and other presidents of countries who are relatively feudal and backward. This satirizes Trump’s white supremacy of Nazism and authoritarianism. The direct release of Trump's photos and blatant irony in this part of the film has shocked me, but the main event is yet to come. US Vice President Pence and former New York Mayor Rudy actually starred in this movie in person, and presented their negative images in the form of self-blaming. This is not only in China, but even in any country in the world. Is extremely rare. As we all know, the two parties in the United States have always had fierce disputes. The two parties often broke the news of political scandals to attack each other, and often used the opponent's personal shortcomings to attack various sex scandals. This film also focuses on the incidents of sex scandals. Borat was ordered to have a good relationship with the United States, and the gift she gave was her daughter, because Borat heard that Pence and Rudy are both erotic, especially for underage girls. It is extremely troublesome for adult women to get in a relationship, basically announcing the end of their political career, but in this film, Pence and Rudy personally acted in the image of a womanizer, which was shown on the big screen in an extremely negative image.

This kind of outspoken satire and even distorted and discredited films against politicians can actually be released in the United States. This has had a huge impact on me, because in the Chinese film industry, not to mention being so upright. Talking about politics by name, criticizing politics, and even euphemistic metaphors and insinuations are strictly forbidden. Since ancient times, politics has been like Voldemort in Harry Potter. It is impossible for the common people to mention his name, so that when everyone talks about politics or politicians, they are frightened and avoid talking about it, just like the old man. The words are well said, "Don't talk about national affairs." This in the end is why? In fact, it’s a very simple truth. If you want to know who is ruling you, who is your master, and whose slave you are, you just need to look at who you can’t scold or criticize in this country. Now, this person is your ruler. So in China, who can we not criticize or criticize? As I said before, I dare not talk about it, or even type the name here. Marx told us that things have two sides. To look at problems dialectically, things must have their drawbacks. What kind of political form or a state system must have its drawbacks and mistakes. No idea can be completely correct. If there are problems and mistakes, you must find the mistakes and point them out, so that you can acknowledge the mistakes and correct them to improve yourself. But unfortunately, our nation, our country, has lost the ability to admit mistakes. This is a great sadness for a nation. Because it is unable to admit mistakes, it will naturally not be able to correct mistakes. Not only that, but to cover up a mistake, we have to commit more. mistaken. Someone raises a problem, and it is difficult and complicated to solve the problem. If you can’t solve the problem, just solve the person who found the problem. This is much simpler, so the person who raised the problem is solved, but the problem is not there. The more you accumulate. As people who found that the wrong questions were all solved, people gradually did not dare to ask questions. After all, people are cowardly. Only a few martyrs who dared to speak up were only a few, so people became silent and more and more silent. , Is no different from a quiet, hard-working beast that is slaughtered by others. However, this is not the worst, what is the worst? Some people have lost their ability to speak, and they don't allow others to speak out. This kind of talent is the most damnable. Unfortunately, there are many people of this kind now. History has proved that when a society only allows one voice to exist, then it faces a huge crisis, the German Nazis, and the Soviet Union. When the sharp criticism is eliminated, the mild criticism becomes harsh, the mild criticism is eliminated, and the silence becomes unpredictable. When the silence is also eliminated It is a crime to praise and not work hard enough. Our country experienced a magical age in the 1960s when praise and hard work were all crimes. We paid a huge and painful price for this. I hope that this dark age will never come again.

How does this inability to face mistakes cause this problem? I think it is caused by the poor inferiority of our nation. Inferiority leads to blind self-esteem and arrogance, extremely sensitive, full of g-spots, and climax when others touch it. In recent years, the time for "humiliating China" has emerged endlessly, with one small humiliation in three days and one big humiliation in seven days, as if the whole world is targeting China. Borat 2 is a natural insult to China. In the film, the new crown virus becomes Wuhan pneumonia, and it also satirizes the Chinese to eat bats. This may be the reason why this film cannot be seen legally in China. Chinese people’s inferiority complex is in their bones. It has been thousands of years and cannot be changed. Chinese people need an emperor who likes to make gods. In "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhang Mazi said that he should not kneel. The emperor is dead and no one deserves your knees. , But people still kneel down again and again. We are already a modern country. The emperor system has been abolished for a hundred years, but is there any emperor now? I can't tell. But there are gods, including Yuan Shitianzun Yuan Longping, and contemporary medical sage Mr. Zhong Nanshan. They are not wrong in themselves. They are indeed talents who have made outstanding contributions to mankind, but some people deify them excessively and do not allow anyone Questioning this kind of deification of madness is a manifestation of servility. We often say cultural self-confidence, institutional self-confidence, what exactly is self-confidence? "Borat 2" is the best embodiment. Confident people have the courage to commit suicide, and confident people have a sense of humor. This also explains why national dignitaries dare to participate in movies that discredit themselves because of their self-confidence and system. confidence. Dare to bring existing or non-existent issues to the table, dare to hack epidemic control, dare to hack political scandals, only this kind of courage can make the country and the nation develop better. The protagonist of the film Porat is a deceived populist who is hostile to the Jews and demonizes them, but it is ironic that Cohen, the actor who plays Porat, is a serious Jew who has accepted tradition since childhood. Judaism education, which is also self-confidence, is the national self-confidence of the Jewish people after the extinction disaster. This kind of true self-confidence is the characteristic that a great country and nation should have, or an example of hard work, rather than blindly singing praises, reporting good news but not worrying, or even holding funerals. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. At the end of the article, I would like to attach a paragraph written by the great leader Mao Zedong in his early days to summarize: Why not establish a multi-party system? What are you afraid of? After thinking about it, I may be afraid of losing power. Why not engage in judicial independence? I am afraid of being judged. Why not engage in constitutional government? I'm afraid I can't use power for personal gain. Why engage in party-state? The party is nothing more than a social organization, how can it represent the country? Why not engage in freedom of speech and press? I am afraid that the people will no longer be fooled. for Why not engage in direct elections? I'm afraid I won't be an official. --1943 "Xinhua Daily"
