contradictory culture

Last night, 80% of the people at the class reunion went to France to study or work. Now they are either directly or indirectly working for the French in Beijing, or they will soon embark on the journey of studying in France again, so it is easy for everyone to It's still interesting to talk about the French in my own eyes!

Classmate 1 said: The French and the Chinese are very similar
. Several people expressed their strong agreement with the French spirit. There is a kind of stubbornness in the spirit, and sometimes there is a kind of indifference that has nothing to do with oneself. It is a very familiar sense of alienation.
In terms of work, we see it in France. The more business management models I have come to have something in common with China, so that classmate 1 said that his boss is like his father!

Classmate 2 said: The French have a poor ability to accept new things.
Everyone agrees that the students who study art have no desire to go to France to continue their studies, but just plan to go to the UK as soon as possible.
Is it true that the French have no artistic talent? Somerset Maugham once said that French literature, especially prose, is a model of European literature. It is both sensible and good at thinking. Will thinking people often resist when they accept so-called new things? Or is literature a relatively traditional or even declining piece of art, and the French are still thinking deeply in the same place?

I said: It seems that all kinds of people are more likely to find their own circle in France, and there will be no feeling of being "different".
Although everyone agrees, it seems to be contrary to the above opinions. There are many opinions. I thought of watching it two days ago. This documentary about a French adventurer - "The Man on a Tightrope"

is difficult to analyze in the way of commenting on ordinary films. It can only be said that if the recorded things touch the audience and understand the recorded things, it is Of course, a relatively successful documentary has to say that everyone is born with curiosity and gossip. Sometimes the darker and more controversial things are, the easier it is to capture the hearts of the audience.

Who can resist the excitement brought by gossip and disclosure? What attracts me most about this documentary is the technical problem of how to set the steel wire in a specific environment and the close observation of the World Trade Center that has disappeared in reality on the screen. I think this is also a selling point of this film.

Going back to the Frenchman himself, this tightrope walker is actually just a little guy. The madness and paranoia are not unfamiliar to him. Does it make sense that he has always had a small circle around him? Isn't this the so-called dreamer? I don't see it like they broke up after the WTO and they didn't continue to hold on to this so-called belief. He's not really an adventurer, and that's one of the reasons why I give this movie three stars because the people recorded are more Like a typical paranoid, a child

goes back to the topic. In fact, this kind of discussion based on cultural differences is a bit blind, but it has always been a discussion about possibilities. It is always more attractive. There are no answers and conclusions. It is an endless forest. Various words It's just a breeze

Man on Wire quotes

  • Philippe Petit: If I die, what a beautiful death!

  • Philippe Petit: Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge - and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope.
