This is the moral declaration of every undeveloped person. It can even be said to be a kind of guarantee based on wealth, aiming to ensure that the mind will not change after mastering a certain amount of wealth. This kind of guarantee is very cheap, because when people have nothing, the price of those vows like castles in the sky is minimal. Once it is fulfilled, its price is enough to exchange for life.
The story is very simple, from nothing to finding gold to being enslaved by money to death. Such an old-fashioned storyline is permeated with many details. The beginning of women twisting their buttocks is a hint of sexual impulse; the small money earned by buying lottery tickets symbolizes that small wealth can often bring greater greed; the plots of saving people in the mine and poisonous lizards are all to set off kindness and despicability; The old man rescued the drowning child, how like the scene where Jesus showed miracles and resurrected people. That kind of sacredness declared a certain potential uneasiness; the gun battle with the robbers, a duel after confusing the boundaries between civilization and barbarism; the old man was in The contrast between the Indian tribe’s treatment of an elder and the death of another is the greatest irony of certain obsessions; the process of seeking gold in the wind symbolizes a certain nihility...
When we let go of the moral shackles and just look at the process of gold rush, I want to admire the courage and hard-working spirit of these gold diggers. Of course, some people will say that this is an inevitable behavior instigated by greed, but the difficulty of gold rushing is simplified by the story anyway! I still remember how humor Chaplin was when he ate leather shoes, but it was black. The focus of the film itself is not to highlight this difficult gold rush, so it is just a lie.
The focus is still on the exploration of whether money is the devil, and the metaphysical thinking that is pursuing it. As stated at the beginning, we are not any sworn guarantee from the parties, and the corresponding price is too low. When there is really a lot of wealth in front of us, and it is almost "easy", it is inevitable that we will hope for more. This requirement is universal, and there is no inevitable evil. There are many people who advocate contentment and happiness. I also believe that contentment can indeed make people happier, but the paradox is that we don't have the opportunity to be more "sufficient"! Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about teaching, and only the person concerned has the right to speak. Secondly, if the influence of money is only limited to individuals and does not affect interpersonal, such thinking does not exist. When people enter social relations, they must adhere to certain moral communication standards, so behavior that violates these standards is regarded as unethical. So how aggressive is money (and sometimes we can also derive power), leading people to the lowest point of that moral decline? Tracing back to the source, greed is hard to blame. In addition, the lack of trust is the root cause of the team's "failure" in the last treasure hunt. So, in the final analysis, our society is still a society where integrity is paramount. Therefore, the more you think about the social contract, the more you think it makes sense. In a society where trust is disregarded, people cannot control the resources outside the individual, and even the individual's own resources. The direct result is the shielding of some kind of communication, and even more like the movie depicted, by eliminating the existence of social objects, And then get the amulet of self-protection. It is difficult for us to understand this kind of "tempest and depravity" because we are still not on his shoe, but in any case, equal and extensive communication is the only shortcut to resolve all contradictions. Of course, it’s not difficult to exclude those who are narrow-minded by nature, because all their ways of thinking are based on the delusion that others want to murder themselves. The sad thing about such people is that they can’t find someone who can dig their heart out. , Beware that there is no harbor to store, when you are embarrassed and there is no object to show your back, this kind of life is doomed to fail. The definition of failure does not lie in whether you have money or not, but in the absence of spiritual comfort. Just like the condemnation he issued at the end, his murder was based purely on the result of an irrational pure fantasy. Even if he was not killed by a robber and escaped by chance, he would not be happy in the second half of his life. He said his own The plan is to yell at each other when the waiter makes a mistake on the menu. How can such a mind find a "destined person"?
The character setting in the movie is very interesting. What I don't understand is why some people lose themselves in front of gold, while some people can still keep the original "innocence"? Can we conclude that this is an artistic concept made to meet the needs of duality in art? Why didn't the old man rebel? Is it just because he has seen more worlds? The cunning he had when he divided the sands at the beginning clearly made me think it was some kind of betrayal-perhaps this is an old man using his past to prove a new evil and greedy reincarnation. So, in the end, I can only jump to the conclusion that people are still different after all.
End with one sentence from the Bible: "Vanity of vanity, everything is vanity."
