[Old text] Another interpretation of "Fake God"

The big name is actually just another interpretation of the second simple story of "The Fake Gods", and it is just the Noah's Ark story in the movie.

There are always questions about the subject of the movie. It's really lucky to see it as a comedy. Anyway, one day, a person was inspired by God to build Noah's Ark and became the modern Noah. The comic effect of this kind of story is also caused by the common "ancient people in the modern" model, and the huge impact caused by clothing, actions, and values ​​is often unbearable. In this case, borrowing allusions such as God and the Bible is just a gimmick.

But the deeply meaningful gesture of warmth at the end of the film, the combination of the performance of the grand scene and the heart of the characters, and the contrast of the music, make people feel that it still wants to say something. After all, it is Hollywood's usual tactic to tell some little things about life with comedy, to inspire and brainwash the public.

When the dove finally took the olive branch, God had a "revelation dialogue" with "modern Noah", which not only matched the previous situation, but also revealed the theme of the film - every time you do a small thing, you can change the world. At first glance, it seems to be emphasizing human actions, but when it comes to the story of the film, I always doubt whether it has religious implications. Because both times were said by God, the first time God made water in an empty basin while talking, and then kindly asked the puppy to drink it. The Jesus-style miracles performed by himself illustrate how to start with small things. , and finally change the world. Here one has to feel that this theme seems to have a lot to do with Christian good deeds. At the end, the fat and corrupt congressman was sprayed with sheep shit by the animals on the ark in front of the justice Noah in ancient robes. It seems that the Christian morality of punishing evil and promoting good is very prominent here. In the film, God also gently educated the wife of "Modern Noah". If you pray to God for family harmony, will God make your family harmonious, or will God give you the opportunity to be close to your family and depend on each other with your family. with support? This is active action under God's leadership: God creates opportunities to care for people who act under his direction. How naturally God and liberty are united in the American faith. God stands on the top of the mountain, with a wave of his robe sleeves, the changes of the town are presented in an instant, he fondly recalls the ancient mountains and rivers, the picture scrolls he once placed, his fingers lightly, a row of valleys lie across, his eyes caress, the rivers meandering, this is also What a natural outpouring of American emotion! In short, the film revolves around Americans' unconscious but firm belief in God.
In my resentful eyes, it seems that translating the title of the film into a fake god rather than a fake god is an unfair taboo, so the plot setting in the film that I am satisfied with is the one about the flood. God said that there would be a flood on September 22, so he ordered Noah to build an ark. On this day, "Noah" stood on the top of the ark, facing the police's siege and the hammer that demolished the ark. At the last moment, "Noah" cried out to God anxiously and devoutly. Here, I thought God would suddenly appear and prove their stupidity with a rash flood to those who have been laughing at. However, in the film, although the flood did come, it was because the dam of the reservoir suddenly burst, and the culprit was Mr. Fei, who caused the disaster due to corruption. Of course, it can be said that God created the "opportunity" for the reservoir to burst, but this plot setting makes it possible to reinterpret this modern ark story.

Noah built the ark, so to speak, based on reasonable inferences about what was going to happen, which was entirely human. The incomprehension and ridicule he suffered reminded me of some lonely people who pursued the truth without caring about the eyes of others. What they do is so incomprehensible, they are called outliers, or marginalized, or lunatic. Above the flower square, Bruno said, the future world will prove my worth. These are some people with lofty ideals, who are not limited by time, bear everything that needs to be undertaken, and are born in the desert.

This is what people do, not God. People's commitment, people's actions, people's attachment to truth and self-affirmation.




P.S.

At that time, there were people around who believed in religion and were very against Christianity. . . But the best thing about this old article is my brother's comment, he said:


"But your problem is: you always let yourself jump out and describe everything in a high position, which is all-inclusive. , but it will make people feel cold, and the audience will not have a big impression except for your ability to arrange sentences after watching it, and it will be difficult to remember.

So try to put yourself into the environment you constructed, even for a moment. , so that the environment leaves some warm traces of people's existence, so that when others look at it, they will not feel strange and difficult to think about.

For example, it is like a room that is half-new and not old compared to a new house that has just been completed. It makes people feel more intimate and has more details, which makes people willing to come closer and take a look around.

For example, in the house I am currently renting, there are scratches on the door of the room, writing on a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, how tall Niuniu is, every time I open the door, I will catch a glimpse of the corner of my eye, I don't think it is abrupt and outdated, Instead, these traces remind me of my childhood, when my mother and I noticed that I was growing taller day by day, which made people feel more intimate.

That's the details.

When you find that everything seems perfect, you might as well carve a few of these marks on the door. "

Well said, I think he's talking about personal connections.

"When you find that everything seems perfect, you might as well carve a few of these marks on the door. What's


even better is that he added a sentence later: However, I thought about it later, in fact, film critics are like you.

Of course, "film critics" are often like this.

    Am I scoring too high now? Ha, nothing. It is true that a comedy can be given four stars at this stage. It may be fake or a little too much in many places, but it feels good that those animals appear in a group. Another: there are pandas, haha.
