"The Lost City of Z" is most widely known to domestic audiences for its 37 minutes of "brutal castration" (note: the movie has a total of 141 minutes). I never want to wash the ground for the system, but I think sometimes in addition to censorship standards and ideological reasons, the deletion of large clips is also the publisher's consideration for maximizing economic interests, although the box office was a fiasco in the end. . To put it bluntly, our Chinese businessmen are too shrewd, and movies, without exception, are also a market economy behavior and a means of capital speculation. Returning to the film itself, although the domestic box office was a fiasco, it received good reviews abroad, and it often appeared in various "Top Ten of the Year" at the end of the year. Although there are no particularly ups and downs throughout the movie, the jungle adventure does not stir your adrenaline in the slightest, "heartthrob" Robert. Pattinson's role has always been seen in three-quarters of the movie, and I couldn't help but google it. Yes, it was him. It can be seen that the overall film is more restrained and realistic. Especially after finding out that the whole story is adapted from real events, and the protagonist Posey does have a real person. "Art originates from life and is higher than life", I especially admire those who stand in their own era in the history of human development and break through their own era, precisely because they rely on their own idealism and pursue Whether it is the truth, or even dedicating his life to the exploration and knowledge of many things, he has directly or indirectly pushed the wheel of history forward. Percy's unremitting exploration of lost civilizations throughout his life, laid out according to the timeline in the film, is particularly moving after it corresponds to the real history one by one. The movie undoubtedly ushered in a climax in the last fifteen minutes, as the movie's wife who has always adhered to and supported her husband's ideal said, "A person's exploration should far exceed his ability, otherwise what is the use of heaven?", The movie shows us how far human beings can go in order to realize their ideals? Even if he encounters setbacks, misunderstandings, and bottlenecks, even if the conditions are difficult, the hope is slim, and the sense of powerlessness is huge, Posey may have chosen to enter the jungle at first to increase his official position, but after discovering possible civilizations, he firmly wanted to. After finding City Z, he was so happy and eager, even though he did not achieve "success" as defined in the world at this time. Idealists are always particularly dazzling. After all, how many people can find their true ideals after all their lives? However, looking back at reality, how many people are willing to give up everything they have in order to pursue their ideals? I think first of all, the word "idealism" is really too extravagant in modern society. People in society have too many calculations, too many cowardice and too many distractions. The ideal that really requires oneself to devote himself to everything is like "Nice Monster" and "Bigfoot". "Beast" is as rare as the "white moonlight" in everyone's heart; secondly, the post-80s and 90s have always been under great pressure. Before the age of 30, they began to have a "junior and middle-aged crisis", that is, they were finally willing to admit that they were no longer innocent. It is impossible, but to truly accept that you will be like this for the rest of your life, you need to take on more and more responsibilities and obligations. Therefore, at this time, the popularity of online "mourning culture" has become popular, and "the time is quiet" has become the standard for everyone to settle down. It is also moving to appreciate plain beauty. There is no absolute standard and right or wrong. I think, "Don't forget your original intention, you will always have it". For us who have not found the "ideal of life" for the time being, the simplest and purest original intention is probably not to let go Abandon to find the Z city in your heart! (Finally, after writing this, I learned that "MIX" starring Yui Aragaki and Yingta will also be released in China, no matter whether it is really the authorities becoming more enlightened to literary and artistic works or it is another commercial behavior of Chinese businessmen , thank the company that introduced the film for me. After all, the goddess appeared on the big screen in China for the first time. When the time comes, I will let everyone see the power of the otaku in our country, and then I will silently support the male god Eita in my early years. Call. I am really grateful that I was born in this era, there are so many movies to watch, after all, not watching "Blade Runner 2049" in imax in 2017 has always been my biggest regret in my movie viewing experience last year.)
