The slogan that the male one still likes to wear a school T-shirt after graduating from Harvard not only has a hint of bourgeois show off, but is also used repeatedly in most Hollywood movies. It reminds me of a famous official school in the international legal field. Those who have studied at Yale with such a silky background are probably affected by such a bad influence that when they meet scholars from Yale, they have to wear his shabby Yale T to show his Yale identity. Let’s not comment on whether this inductive habit represents a person’s love for the school and why Chinese universities can’t be like this. There are also issues such as school uniform design and university business strategies. Judging from this movie alone, Harvard men not only wear T-shirts themselves, but also end up around them. The old man in the house and others have been referring to him as a Harvard man. There is even a scene where the second man wears a T-shirt from the University of Tennessee as a show of confrontation. The class confrontation reflected by this behavior is undoubtedly revealed. What the director wants to show is really Naked. I just want to say that although there are such signs in China, fortunately, the quality of the clothes designed by schools like Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc. is really not on the table. Otherwise, maybe we will have this trouble decades later.
In fact, the filming of this movie is still possible. There is always an invisible tension and tension in the whole process, and then to the end, it is handled well. But a good movie needs not only these, but also the evaluation and processing of the delivered content. It is a pity that the whole film has a kind of bourgeois arrogance, the director consciously guides us, it is a struggle between urban and rural people, it is a confrontation between culture and barbarians, and expresses the middle class Anxiety and worry about the poor and lower-middle peasants. For example, in the dialogue between the two rooms, there are many implicit grassroots irony and contempt for intellectuals, the designed question mark confrontation of "This is a man" and "Is this a man?" Self-deprecating and so on, but in fact, this kind of treatment method is not only impossible to solve any problems, but also will only make both sides unpleasant. These may be inherent in the original and remake versions of the film, but that's why the film couldn't be more successful. This is a flaw in its own content, it's just a thriller, and it just wants that.
As a digression, a person with a low level of knowledge does not mean that he is not good, nor does it mean that he is necessarily a bad person; a person with a high level of knowledge does not mean that he is a good person. There are many examples of this. If we have to divide regions and classes, we can only say that in a certain region or class, there are some good people and some bad people, which has nothing to do with knowledge, and the good people always make up the majority. In everything, we must examine the individual, look at the individual, not put him/her into a group, beat him or her to death with a big stick, and cause a struggle.
There are always good and bad people, but the good and bad are not external, but internal. If your heart is bad, neither you believe in God nor Siddhartha can save you. The only one who can save you is yourself.
