Exquisite "God Stick Piece"

Lavonne 2022-03-24 09:03:32

The director of this film has indeed made a film with a strong religious meaning. Religious films are dressed in the guise of reasoning and suspense films, a bit like "Mysterious Clouds in the Moon".

A: The drama brings the conflict together. We know that
not all sins are concentrated in one family, and not all misfortunes are in the same body.
But such tragedies do happen every day.
Not everyone can be convicted. But everyone is indeed affected by society, and at the same time it affects society.
---------------------------------------------
B: We are here What we see in the film is not personal destiny or human inferiority (human nature).

But human nature = instinct + moral standard
Instinct is the most suitable thing left by evolution for the natural environment at that time.
Ethical standards, on the other hand, are codes of conduct based on the socio-economic environment of the time.
But social reform cannot be accomplished by virtue or religion alone.
Establishing a reasonable and perfect legal system and social system that protects the interests of the vast majority of people is the only way to prevent tragedies from recurring.
-----------------------------
C: The music in this film is great, and the plot twists and turns are also in place.
-------------------------------------------------
D : The opening sentence says: Humans cannot be trusted, so they have to find something to believe, otherwise they will keep falling and falling, so they believe in God. The last sentence is repeated again.
I just want to tell you that there is nothing wrong with having a belief, but belief is not necessarily a religion, and belief cannot be like the heroine.

The following contains spoilers. If you haven't watched the movie yet, read it carefully.
Event 1: In order to raise wages, lead the strike. Something between the capitalists and the proletariat. If the social system is perfect, workers should have normal and sound channels to express their demands. There are institutions that support and defend workers' rights. For example, the current labor law, labor representatives. Of course, what happened a hundred years ago is still happening today. Religion or morality cannot be expected to resolve these disputes.
Event 2: Unemployed and reduced to a street pub, the hero No. 2 saves the beauty, and the golden house hides the beauty, but it is always abandoned. What started out as a compassionate event turned into a lust-dominated one. Even if the male No. 2 cannot use marriage as a help for the female lead 1, at least there should be other help, such as supporting the female 1 to learn new job skills, subsidizing her to re-employ and start a business, so as not to return to the streets. Of course, what we can save is definitely not a single natural person. We should go back to the improvement of the social system, so that such incidents will not happen again, so that such people will not be forced to go to the streets because of unemployment and rely on betrayal. The body can survive. We need to create a society free of prostitutes (of course that's another big topic).
Event 3: The heroine 2 lost her job because of jealousy and self-willedness in the clothing store of the heroine 2. In fact, the author sold a trick here. The author put the hope of human moral conscience on young people. In addition to the minor flaws in personality, the heroine 2 seems to be beyond reproach in terms of morality. She is not complicit in the family, and can have a correct view of right and wrong. But human beings can be flawless. Don't people constantly correct their words and deeds when they make mistakes?
Event 4: Male lead 3, drinking, calling prostitutes, and stealing money. If he is willing to help the heroine 1, he should help the heroine 1 in some ways that the heroine 1 can accept.
Event 5: The Relief Bureau refuses to help. This involves the operation of the social assistance system. On the issue of reviewing whether the recipients meet the requirements for assistance, the influence of personal preference factors on the results should be avoided. Personal judgments that are too subjective should be avoided, and more objective review and investigation should be carried out.
------
Is the heroine 1 really morally perfect and without fault? It's a common saying that a gun is the best shot. She lacks fighting experience and is not good at engaging in class struggle. To put yourself at risk, to be brave is to be brave, but not to protect yourself. In addition, she did not take the normal path of expressing her salary demands. Of course, in that era, the system in this area was not perfect. Workers and factory owners are always the two sides of the conflict. It is not only a cooperative and symbiotic relationship, but also seeks a balance among the interests. Again, religion cannot solve these social problems. Also, the heroine 1 casually sleeps with a man and does not seek marriage, is that right? The heroine 1, as a waiter, does laugh at guests, right? The female lead 1 and the male lead 3 have been together many times, what is the purpose? The heroine 1 has a child but does not have the courage to fight for life. For her so-called noble morality, she refuses to accept help without stealing money. I chose the path of seeking short-term vision, and I would die, and I would take another life. Don't you know how to work around it? When looking for help, say something that the relief bureau likes to hear, and when accepting the money from the male lead 3, can you make an IOU and pay it back in the future?
But the screenwriter, or GOD, deliberately chose the last cruel tragic way to show the power of the play, to condemn the society and the people's hearts.
Tragedy is indeed beautiful, but the plot lacks convincing. What is the audience?
-----------------------------

Finally, the show is still very exciting and you can watch it. From the point of view of structure and technique, 4 stars. But from the point of view, 3 stars. Too crazy...

An Inspector Calls quotes

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.

    The Inspector: They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Birling: [hanging up the phone] A girl has died. Suicide. A police inspector is on his way to ask us some questions.
