Temperament of Dionysus

Every year at the end of March, the citizens of ancient Athens gather at the Dionysus Amphitheatre on the southern slope of the Acropolis to see the latest works by the city's greatest tragic writer. These plays are mercilessly terrifying, and the plots are easily comparable to any breaking news today: a man kills his father and marries his mother, and gougs out his eyes ("Oedipus King"), a man punishes his brother for his brother A loyal daughter-in-law kills her own daughter to fulfill her plan ("Iphigenia"), and a woman kills her own pair of children in order to prevent her unfaithful husband from marrying a new wife ("Medea"). We might think these stories are too heavy-handed and should be avoided by any sane person, but the philosopher Aristotle took a broad view of the human fascination with such subjects. In his Poetics, written in 335 B.C., he argued that such stories could be an important source of emotional and moral power for educating society as long as there were superb scripts and artistic stage presentations. Although these stories are brutal and brutal, they have an important educational function. But to achieve this effect, to elevate the thriller (a meaningless statement of a malignant event) into what Aristotle called tragedy (an instructive theme based on the evil deeds of the wicked), philosophers believe that there must be subtlety. Well-thought-out plot and clearly delineated characters. Playwrights must mobilize their dramatic skills to the greatest extent possible, so that the audience spontaneously realizes at a certain moment that the deranged protagonists on the stage, despite their emotional outrage and blind recklessness, killed others and ruined their own reputation and life, If it appears in the news, it will be dismissed as a lunatic. When the audience sees the terrible mistakes and crimes committed by the people on the show, they have no choice but to come to a terrifying conclusion: Maybe I will make the same mistakes with a single thought. Such is the moral instructive meaning of tragic works, proving to us how easy it is to expose the dark side of essentially decent and amiable people. "sense8" has this kind of temperament faintly, very sharp, thrilling, and avant-garde, but it is not a tragedy, at least it will not be the end of a tragedy. #killfather\ Dishonesty# Our nation, on the one hand, pays the most attention to the love of father, son and son as the highest pursuit (Confucianism), but the top imperial power (the object of Confucianism) murders fathers and seizes power, so we do not exclude watching. Such a tragedy, on the contrary, we have very little sympathy. For the sake of supreme power, we disregard the love of father and son. Both Wolfgang and Sun's younger brother committed atrocities of killing their fathers. In fact, in essence, they are all for the sake of living a better life, selfish. Sun's younger brother, A Dou who can't stand up against the wall, is so heartbroken and mad that he will die, and the act of murdering his father is rather outrageous. The cancer of this world. In fact, Wolfgang also has a choice and can escape. Of course, as a child, the choice to escape is more difficult. Like the president in the House of Cards, urinating on his father's tombstone, expressing his disgust for it to set off his indifference to morality, there is still a kind of self-indulgent sadness in his heart, and he is forced to do so. Therefore, they met by chance, and after falling in love with Kala, there was a very strong unease in their hearts. #SaveMother\ Filial Piety# Of course, the screenwriter will not be the lowest level of good and bad people to distinguish the characters, eight people, each of them hovering between light and darkness. The filial Capheus is also helpless. He sacrificed his life for the gang leader to beg his mother, which is comparable to the filial piety of lying on the ice and begging the carp. Filial piety is naturally a very noble quality, but it is of little use in life. But he has a faint sense of justice in his heart. They are all gangsters. The gangster for his daughter is definitely better than the gangster for the story. Therefore, he uses evil to defeat evil, and that part of the violence that drew his sword to help kill countless people is based on his inner kindness. Psychology always attaches great importance to childhood. Capheus received abundant maternal love from his mother. Although life was difficult, he inherited his mother's kindness, strength and optimism. When Kala saw his living room, he was very curious as to why such a high-end TV was placed in a room without a bed. I like this detail very much, this state of life, you must know that if you are an ordinary person, you will not dare to face your hobbies so calmly. Poverty is not a sin, but we should all do our best to escape poverty. Poverty makes it difficult to enjoy life, but not poverty is the natural enemy of enjoying life. Capheus is like a gentle sunshine, kind and innocent. He can jump happily when he takes a plane, and he is full of joy when drinking English tea. Is this curiosity because the experience of poverty is thin? I don’t think so. #truelove# I have heard one point of the request for equal rights for gays and lesbians countless times, hoping to have the right to sign the lover's critical illness notice. Compared with other rights, this article is particularly ignored. So when I saw Nomi trapped in the ICU, it was so powerless. Although in the real world, we are not like the members of sense8 who are at risk of life-threatening when they enter the hospital, but life has an end. If it were me, if it was at the end of my life, I couldn’t say goodbye to my favorite. Death is even scarier. Nomi's family is an upper-class society, with abundant material conditions, but her feelings for her are indifferent, so Nomi has been looking for solace, but when she finally has this solace, she has her own partner. easily disassembled. As Nomi complained in the hospital, how old is it, it's all day, and she can still be detained in the hospital so easily, torturing you in the name of me being for your own good, isn't this a contradiction in itself? I have no intention of discussing this issue, because there are too many arguments about euthanasia, the choice of personal will. But at the very least, everyone should have the right to be with their lover, which no one can take away. Lito's love is more like a kind of soul mate, mutual appreciation, mutual understanding, and mutual support. But for the sake of his career, he must hide hide your love. The rotten girl lives with a pair of gays. Such a happy three-person life is really surprising, but full of admiration. Adults have the right to choose their own lives. As long as I am an adult, by mutual consent, and in private, I feel that whatever hobby I have is my freedom. 8 people empathize, so the kind of understanding in the heart is thorough. Not so much what skills the eight people have, but what skills they lack. (Continue to write when you have time)
