Although you can only say "despite" to Hollywood. Despite the desolation of humanity under the design of the power, the colorful soap bubbles turned into a joke that has given birth to children but is not familiar with sex, although the cruelty used to purge the heterogeneous class struggle is underestimated by a naive beating, looting, Although the victory that can only rely on the battle of blood and fire was finally won by a court debate that only moved one's mouth, the secret thread of "One Person, One Color" leads to "Nineteen Eighty Four" and "Beauty New". World" these classics. It tries to prove that: a perfect society does not exist; if you feel that this society is perfect enough, then regrettably, this means that your humanity is actually deceived.
The "Happy Valley" in this film is basically the incarnation of a classic positive utopia, where the weather is always sunny, without hatred, violence and tears, everyone loves each other, courtesy, and life unfolds step by step in an extremely precise order. The same is true of ethics. Its designer may have transformed all the residents like pigeons from a hat, because there is no "sex" there, and men and women do not know what some of their organs are used for. In fact, "Happy Valley" only existed on American TV in 1958. It was fictitious, and because of the TV technology at that time, its world was completely black and white.
"Sex" is set as the first weapon to subvert this utopia. At this time, we will discover how valuable the debates about whether communism is a "communist" in childhood are so valuable-no artificial utopia can get around this problem, and the solution of "sex" is for them. The rationality of existence is the most important affirmation; in other words, "sex" can be a fatal blow to utopia. In "Happy Valley", more and more boys and girls have tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit. They drove to the "Marriage Road" at night to get together. The emergence of "sex" turns the black and white characters in these fictional black and white televisions into color, because for boys and girls, the discovery and experience of sex is the discovery and experience of the self.
"One Person, One Color" aims to express the challenge of "self" to the utopian illusion. When the liberators put on glasses and fell in love with books, the cowardly raised his fists, the restaurant owner began to draw, the husband in the green hat expressed his nostalgia for his wife, and the conservatives vented their anger towards new things, and the utopia was broken. NS. Of course, Americans' understanding of "self" only ends here.
"Happy Valley" is no longer black and white. It is like any small town where "existence is reasonable", the trees are green, the lake is blue, the road leads to the distance, and the sky is raining; suspicion, hatred, deceit and friendliness, sympathy, and sincerity are mixed in Life, and danger and anxiety are always on the sidelines; young men and women explore each other's physiological changes, couples have legal sex at night, and eventually they will lose their ability and enthusiasm for sex as they grow older...
This is "choice" ". Finding yourself is actually just an excuse for secularization. The fear of utopia is rooted in the fear of losing the freedom of choice-you can choose to have yourself or you can choose to lose yourself. Choosing to expel mankind from the Garden of Eden makes society imperfect and full of unpredictable possibilities, but it is the embodiment of free will, and it always comes with a price.
