At the end of May this year, a friend came to Wuhan to take the test. I said to hang around the street tonight, as a mystic and an old fan, of course, the Champions League final cannot be missed. I also visited here on the eve of the Champions League final last year, and then I saw the home team defending and making history with my own eyes. I hope I can do it again this year.
Then he added "I watched "Wonder Woman" last year, so this year I will...", he received "I watched it again". No, I said sternly, I watched "Professor Marston and Wonder Woman", the story of her creator.
I didn't expect this to be the best movie I've seen this year!

In the classic and elegant red brick classroom, young scholars impassively taught their original, witty and exciting ideas. The windows blew in, and a colleague and assistant sat lazily on the windowsill.
Can't think of a better scene, but it's not over.
In the quaint and elegant red brick classroom (and Harvard), young scholars impassionedly teach their original, witty and exciting ideas, and the bright sunshine illuminates the youthful faces full of curiosity and exploration spirit under the stage (Also full of beautiful young girls' faces), the warm breeze blew in from the window, and on the windowsill sat a beautiful colleague and assistant (at the same time, the new wife, and Rebecca Hall).
The scene at the beginning was too enviable to watch, but as the plot unfolded, such a beautiful and unreal life turned into a farce. It's not so much how sighs can spoil the good life like this, but rather that there is some kind of regularity, and the good life can easily be spoiled. Because when we are in happiness, we don't think too much; when we start to think too much, we find that happiness has gone far.
Hegel said that great things happen twice, and Marx said for him that the first time was a tragedy, and the second time was a comedy. How did Marston's happy life turn into tragedy and then comedy?
The origin of the story can be said to be a beautiful girl who loves psychology, a young teacher who is scheming, and the jealousy of a new wife. This forms a triangle. The female student Olive represents the innocent and pure side, which can be said to be relatively pure feelings, love science, and fall in love with someone (guess who); new wife, also a psychologist , represents the cautious and cautious side of the heart, the secular considerations reflected in the later episodes, and the inherently selfish and vulnerable side of the human heart. I have to say that Elizabeth has indeed contributed a lot of golden sentences, such as:
The only male protagonist, the young teacher, Marston, who proposed the DISC theory, is the plot of the inner turmoil. Wealth is not too much, scores are not too high, and a good life is not enough. Will a life that is too easy make us feel safe?
Why is it a tragedy for the first time, because the pure side of the heart will be tempted; because the fragile side of the heart will deliberately pursue strength, because the master who is the theory proposer will sink into the slave of the theory. In a nutshell, it is inducement, submission, and compliance. The theory that was originally an object, once caught up with desire, becomes a master instead, with the power of dominance. When discussing penis envy, Elizabeth, who is eloquent, is the most aggressive in life, but her envoy is the most vulnerable; Olive, who was the most timid at the beginning, is also the cutest in appearance, but she is actually the bravest and the most exciting in the film The picture is that the domineering original wife and teacher Elizabeth knelt down to her. The only male protagonist is probably Marston, who has the ability to lead, although many male audiences can't yearn for it, and has a dominant position in life. Of course, he has become the most frustrated person. Another classic scene is probably the scene where Professor Marston watched the children burn down their own Wonder Woman and applauded. Has the good life been abused like this?
Tragedy is always uncomfortable, so why write tragedies, and why from Aeschylus in ancient Greece to Shakespeare in modern times has always been the peak of literature? Nietzsche had a profound discussion, but in fact it was for fun. A tragedy that obviously feels very uncomfortable, how can it make people feel good?
“We really become primitive beings themselves in a brief moment, feeling its unstoppable desire to live and joy of existence. Now we feel that since the countless competing life forms are so superfluous, the will of the world is so prolific, the struggle, the pain , the destruction of phenomena is inevitable. Just as we seem to be one with the original ecstasy of existence, just as we expect this joy to endure in Dionysian ecstasy, at the same moment we are still lucky living, not As individuals, but as oneness, we are bound up with its reproductive joys."
From sinister intentions (or human nature), seeing other people's unhappiness always makes us happy; from noble taste, tragic protagonists are not deserved but not blameless, it can be seen from them The will of power and Dionysian spirit of some life struggles have obtained "metaphysical comfort"; in the sense of law, tragedy is a certain number, the end of life, the first ending, and the unfolding of a new life.
In my opinion, it is the dismissed teaching position, the broken marriage contract, the broken old days.
Why is the second time a comedy? It is the indulgence of the human heart after losing the original bondage, the subversion of the secular rules and precepts, the complete sinking of desire, and the dazzling interpretation of DISC. However, this may not be some kind of good life, at least in the eyes of outsiders. in the eyes of the world.
This is a family that seems to be very avant-garde after half a century. This is the psychological process of constantly indulging in the inner self and concealing the world. This is understood
It means the fantasy that everything will be all right after suffering for a certain period of time. It is self-moving regardless of the worldly fetters. It is self-indulgent obscenity. Don't mask lower body urges in the name of science. Although the words are harsh, the logic is the same.
This is the burned Wonder Woman comics, the children who are discriminated against, and the normal life driven away by the neighbors.
I used to think that the comedy was useless, but now it's a little bit slower, and this is what I like most about this film, which is that it provides a new answer. What comes after tragedy and comedy? How do we answer a life that has been played badly?
How to answer? Professor Marston's answer is creation and farewell. Wonder Woman is a love letter. The first side is dedicated to the old time that was ruined by desire, the second side is dedicated to the theory of human nature covered up by science, and the third side is what. Neither Hegel nor Marx said it, so I won't say it either, just end with the last paragraph of the film.
After Professor Marston's death, sexually explicit themes from the Wonder Woman comics were removed.
After he died, Marston's overly sexual motifs were stripped from the Wonder Woman comic book…
This is where I stand, and I can only stand here.
