It's just that virtue

In 1994, Abbas walked away after watching Pulp Fiction for ten minutes, saying something that Hollywood hates even now: American movies, but that's it.
After more than ten years, Hollywood's laws have not been broken. In China, China's most promising directors have been scrambling to disarm Hollywood for a period of time. Their values ​​have instantly changed from "artistic youth" to "business strong men" . "Just doing pure art has no future. Earn enough money first, then you can do whatever you want." As a result, Chinese directors have made a lot of "blockbusters" and are deceiving all kind people. After the money, I found that I had nothing but money.
Of course, Hollywood's contribution to the film is unparalleled, he is not the god of the film world, but he constructed a god. He tried to tell the world with his own values: the world is very beautiful, God has always lived in your heart, the key is to see if you go to find it. Such "pan-theism" has cultivated a group of tearful audiences who are obsessed with Hollywood, because they can always find the ideal shadow on it, but the shadow is just a shadow, not the meaning of life. As explained in "Inception", Hollywood, after creating an incomparably beautiful dream, trapped the audience in this dream, so that it was impossible to tell what was real.
The adaptation of "The Kite Runner" is not very exciting. It basically copied the original storyline, and there is nothing to stand out from. The mediocre and slightly gorgeous pictures and the simple scene scheduling. After watching it, I felt that the director did not shape the film into an "entity" with a soul, but only an appendix to the novel.
In the eyes of Americans, it seems that the whole world is a city of sin, and it is only in the bright sunshine of the United States of America that the most wonderful life can be lived, so "The Kite Runner" is not a story about Afghanistan, it is not about two Afghanistan. The boy, but two American boys, they chased their shadow god, and finally, one fell, and the other helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish. In the end, they also became Hollywood trendsetters, with the phrase "for you, thousands of times", earning enough tears from the audience. But where is the real God? Hollywood did not answer and cannot answer.

The Kite Runner quotes

  • Baba: [regarding the mullahs, who teach that drinking alcohol is a sin] I piss on the beards of all those self-righteous monkeys.

  • Amir: [explaining Sohrab's presence] You see, General Sahib, my father slept with his servant's wife, and she bore him a son named Hassan. Hassan is dead now. That boy sleeping in the other room is Hassan's son. He's my nephew. That's what you tell people when they ask. And one more thing, General Sahib: you will never again refer to him as "a Hazara boy" in my presence. He has a name, and it's Sohrab.
