Sometimes, the public's preference is a kind of fascism.
When a group of people are watching how you grow from the same looking up angle, they are all unconsciously placed on a premise. This premise is compulsory, blocking and metaphysical imperial power-yours Everything must meet their expectations of you, those labels, characteristics and characteristics.
Fame is a particularly pessimistic experience. For most successful artists, they have experienced loss after success. John Lennon died in the assassination shot in the midst of influence and fame. Joe Strummer was almost destroyed by rage in the resistance, destroying the dream of freedom. Bono made music and struggle in the huge commercial wave and political power. Draw a clear boundary, and since then wear mask-like sunglasses, pushing U2 onto the commercial stage.
In my concept, art and artist are two independent existences, but they have a wonderful combination on the level of death. One is that the artist has died naturally, but in the spiritual influence and the spread of works of art, it is immortal. The other is the death of absolute nature. Their artistic attitudes and ideas have been completely destroyed and eradicated in the scouring of time, while natural life is living more and more happily.
Fortunately, Bob Dylan belongs to a living artist, and his music and poetry are the same.
I have to admit that the movie "I'm Not There" is one of the hardest movies I have ever seen, because Bob Dylan was dissected into four people, and these four people were separately characterized and emphasized and amplified together. . The four people's thoughts and life trajectories exist at the same time, and it is inevitable that the focus will be blurred, and people will be confused when they see it halfway through. Therefore, after seeing Bob’s biography and life documentaries, and knowing the memorabilia of his life, can I find some of Dylan’s four different mental states in real life co-extensive in "I'm Not There". The poet, The four symbols of prophet, performer, and hunter represent the ideological value of different dimensions.
I must first know Martin Scorsese’s new interpretation of Bob in "No Direcation Home", the transcendental, silent, rebellious, and rebellious Bob Dylan in "No Direcation Home" and "I'm Not There". The complexity and the crisscrossing of the interlinked, and in the texts I have read in the past, I have tried hard to recall everything related to Bob in order to understand how he can strengthen himself in the hard and seemingly impenetrable real world. How to use a pure and impurity-free mind to work hard down.
I told my friends in the film circle that understanding Bob’s life has brought me a lot of shock. Many people asked me, what kind of shock was it? The whole point of me is that my own inner world has not been constructed yet, and Bob’s rebelliousness and unwillingness to hesitate, for me, in some respects have filled in the construction of my still uncertain worldview, and even filled my face Most of the emptiness in life is a sense of confusion.
Without the direction of home, it sounds desperate and distorted as if the stereo is spreading from behind. It is as if a huge gap has been taken out in the heart, serious emotional and spiritual lack, and the past and present. Complete negation with the future. When we are as lost as Bob, and when we are also unable to find the way home, what kind of attitudes and emotions should we use to restructure, no longer the spiritual world like the cycle of life?
Faced with this, Bob Dylan is fickle, and we cannot deny it.
Choose a way to leave or to go home?
Home is also a distorted symbol. This terrifying reality is real to Bob. He always said too little about his hometown. Of course, home is not a place, let alone a single emotion. But any behavior that tries to define the meaning of home seems pale, far from the different feelings of everyone.
The documentary "No Direcation Home" opened with the very meaningful song Like A Rolling Stone, while in the movie "I am not there", more artistic treatment was added to this documentary, and a Human nature is divided into different character personalities, as if only in this way can we make it clear that Bob's complicated and bizarre life is so unique.
In the opening chapter of "I am not there", an old narrator said: "The hungry people are now finally able to share his illness and his personal phone. He is lying there, poet, prophet, and Dharma. Outsiders, fictional idols, rock stars, exposed to the public, like being peeped, they will soon be discovered."
Bob’s sense of self-domination seems to become six or more quite large under the lens of Todd Haynes The lack of, thus flowing between these six different roles, conveying a common proposition-loneliness between each other. And this kind of lonely emotion, in different characters, it is difficult to maintain the same attitude. That's why Todd Haynes can instill such a full range of poetry and romance in the gaps between different roles.
So when you see Bob Dylan transformed into his idol, Woody jumped on the train and escaped from the cage-like town, trying to cut off the only connection between himself and the imprisonment, his deep confrontational nature of different individuals has been Unknowingly constructing: Jack Rollins left everything behind at the peak of his career. What turned out to be the self-denial that Bob was gradually labelled as a protest singer. Robbi’s rethinking and turning of sex and freedom in the marriage crisis is the only love story in Bob’s life. Rimbaud interprets Bob’s lyrics from the poet’s symbolism and the feelings of the world’s darkness and evil spirits. In the process of creating each song, it is like creating a psychic in contact with the world. Jude's complete rebellion on the stage and his aggressive nature in front of the media turned it into a "betrayal" that Bob took to the rock road after his transformation.
When these more surreal personal traits are all concentrated on the same person, when Bob chooses his path, the eternal confrontation between light and darkness in Bod’s life is not just the influence of the times and the media, but he aspires to be What he wants to be.
People, stars, and art are not all caused by the environment, but are part of the innate and eternal "self".
Among the answers that the movie began to explain, Bob has already made a choice in his life. Leave home and leave as far as possible.
I'm not a current event songwriter. The
movie "No Direcation Home" started with Bob Dylan's life-changing song-"Like a rolling stone".
This song is a symbol of Dylan's transition, and it carries many hard attempts in his life: when he was close to 30 years old, trying to break through the unsurpassable real world-all listeners are obsessed with sick folk songs, borrowing pure Sex grafts the characteristics of resistance, and music loses its essential nature and becomes a vassal tool of politics.
What is impressive is that Bod Dylan, who was zoomed in at the same time in the two movies, repeatedly emphasized in an interview with the media, "I am not a songwriter of current affairs."
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn' t you?
didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibies
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You 're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
Chinese lyrics meaning:
There was a time when you used to dress well and
you were so superior, throwing steel bangs to those who beggars, is there such a thing?
People told you, "Hey, little girl, you'll fall in love sooner or later "
You think they are all joking with you
to those who have nothing to do on the street.
You always laugh at
it now. Now you don’t speak so loudly?
Now you don’t laugh so arrogantly about
those begging along the street for the next meal. struggling people, right?
not the taste of home
do you think?
There is nothing to worry about, and no one knows
like a tramp.
That’s right, Miss Lonely, you went to the best school
but you know, during that time you were just enjoying
but no one taught you the real thing,
but you understand now, you have to learn by yourself I dealt with
you once said, with a strange tramp
you never compromise
but now you realize it?
That guy doesn’t need to make any excuses
when you stare into his empty and indifferent eyes and
ask him, do you want to make a deal? How do you feel about being
alone
?
Without a direction home, no one knew him
like a tramp.
You never noticed, those clowns to amuse you to play funny when
distress and struggles behind them
you never realize that this is what is behind the problem
is they can help you bear, but How about you, you really should not be so
You used to straddle a brightly plated motorcycle,
the guy with your love saint, with a Siamese cat lying on his shoulders,
don’t you understand,
he’s already absent-minded,
when he hollowed you out and put you on you What do you think of being
alone when
you can steal everything ?
Without a direction home, no one knew the proud prince who was
like a tramp
, and all those beautiful people.
They were drinking wine and wondering
how to buy something more valuable.
But you, you have to Raise your diamond ring and treat it like
everyone is unlucky.
Haven't you ever been quite proud of watching Napoleon who walked away in the play ?
Now it’s your turn. Napoleon is greeting you. You
have nowhere to go. When you have nothing, you don’t have to worry about what
you will lose. Now you are transparent and there is nothing to hide. What do you think of being
alone
? How about it?
Without a direction home, no one knew him
like a tramp.
In 1663, Bob passed an award and became a beautiful soul overnight. In the movie, Christian Bale delivered a wonderful speech with superb acting skills: It took me a long time to become young, and now I feel I am very young. Moreover, I am proud of it. This is no longer the world of those old men, I mean, it shouldn’t be you who are sitting here, I mean...the times are different, there is no black and white, there is no left-wing right-wing, now there is only up Wing and lower wing, do you know? I think that the person who shot Kennedy, I found the same idea in my heart, I want to say here, you can hush others, but you can't do anything with your mouth. "This classic scene can be said to be that Bob stepped down from the "beautiful" altar of rebellious heroes as the burden of a political puppet. He began his own rebellion. We can see that two different sides of Bob's life have appeared a huge Divide, the early folk poet Bob is the voice of resistance, representing the throat and loudspeaker of a disadvantaged group, while Bob in the later rock stage is a completely gloomy psychic, he will always see "action" caused by The most real ugly side is that resistance is ineffective, and reliance on lips is also ineffective. Art is an independent field relative to all of this. This field has nothing to do with politics, the media, and the times.
When the whole nation is calling for freedom and longing to be the subject of self, grasping the autonomy that it feels, and gaining this through common resistance, the guilt and evil that we have caused will also exist simultaneously. This is the most thorough one. Reality. Of course, Bob does not want to be regarded as the object of "them" as a party to celebrate, and as a representative of a certain group to complete their career.
What does "beautiful soul" mean to Bob?-massacre. And Not everyone aspires to be a "beautiful soul." It can also be said that becoming a "beautiful soul" requires careful planning and premeditating, which is not what an artist should be good at.
In an interview with the media, he said frankly why he stopped protesting for the sake of protest: “No one will completely change because of a song and let the movement and strike continue. Songs can only express their own political ideas. It's like burning a recruiting card and self-immolation. You can do nothing except express your disagreement." The birth of this political idea and the relative behavior are the premeditated "beautiful souls." Because of the big social situation, strikes and demonstrations are enough to turn everyone into a victim, so as to achieve a fascinating illusion while suffering.
Everyone is obsessed with freedom. Everyone wants to be noble and pure innocence and innocence. But this is not the ultimate goal of the "action" advocated by Bob. The effectiveness of real actions lies in the true perception of the world, and the crazy and unreasonable side of the world that Bob perceives cannot form a certain link with his creation itself. He can't find it in folk songs and resistance. The verbal function of "sincere" and "expressed" songs.
When folk ballads have become a social phenomenon and the "flattery" of the masses, just like when Bob sings a ballad on the stage and cheers, he is called a traitor, and Judas’ funny experience is like that. Ballad is no longer the music itself. , Lost the role of "producing the real voice of the times", and became empty notes and phrases that completely did not conform to Bob's inner beliefs.
I was thinking that if it were me, I would also return to my heart and the thorough role of rock and roll, so as to destroy everything I feel and see in my self-digging and narcissistic body. It seems that this is the only way, Bob Only those precious feelings that have not been lost-the true meaning of resistance will be found.
The world has gradually become crazy
. The world in which we live is always sensual-the superficial surface of the phenomenon and no sense of responsibility, and the self-satisfied sublime and happiness can be found in an environment where reason is completely absent, but all of this experience is so stupid. In "No Direction Home", there is a "crazy" part of the world's most special passage. The American soldiers set fire to a civilian house in Vietnam and were indifferent when a group of Vietnamese elderly and children faced the media's cry for help. . At that time, Joan Baez, who was equally influential, and a group of rebel singers gathered at the airport for a song protest, but there was no Bob.
Joan Baez faced the camera and said: "I don’t think he wants to be the kind of person who can’t hesitate. The later era became clear and boring. It was either in favor of war or anti-war, or hated black people, or supported. Martin Luther King, it feels like being forced to choose a side to stand."
This is like a rock singer, choosing between becoming sublime and great, or becoming immortal and beautiful. The choice between whether or not to get involved in politics directly affects everyone's judgment on music. It is also a complete confrontation between folk and rock.
There is no balance point between these. If there is, the public finds a balance point for accepting Bob, which is what the elderly Bob has always emphasized, time. If at the same moment, the public is required to accept Bob’s political resistance to the folk songs and the collapsed and decadent rock of his heart, this will surely collapse. Faced with becoming an artist or a protest singer, Bob will naturally have his own choice.
I mentioned Bob's story with a friend before. He felt that Bob was a person who knew exactly what he was doing. I would never put myself in the gap between two different sides. His first choice is inner beauty, and then noble morality. This is the right path that few people take.
The enthusiasm for society and politics tends to trigger an unreasonable sense of enthusiasm and happiness, when the masses are raging on the roadside cars, when the idols are pushed up to the top of the crowd and become marionettes when they go to the street, or The world's one after another sit-ins, hunger strikes, marches, protests... the world has completely turned crazy.
Everyone is striving to get rid of sensibility, seeking equality and freedom, thus creating a kind of illusion of "becoming the dominant". This illusion is completely deficiencies in the real world, lack of resistance, and ideology. Insufficiency of the level.
The real fact is that in the face of this chaotic world, there is no simple desire for freedom and democracy. One kind of social system replaces another, and there is no possibility of getting better. This is also a human being. Everyone can know the truth, but the masses are the masses after all. Their anger and demand for loftiness require them to use singers, music, and idols to convey this false and unreal experience.
No one can truly believe that "pure freedom" really exists, but everyone will spare no effort to maintain and fight for this unrealistic dream of freedom, thus maintaining political enthusiasm. And in this ignorant perceptual behavior of the group, those icons gradually become symbols of "alienation", a weapon for fighting for rights, and an armed and external force used by everyone to express their own resistance. strength.
The worship and love they showed was the reconciliation between their inner desire for lofty and the clone of resistance. The second half of the
rock revolution
movie enters a kind of surreal and thorough rock style inner psychedelic. Drugs, poetry, love, justice, and many other propositions constitute the whole disordered neurotic narrative logic. What does rock show? Desire and emotion. Rock and roll creates a thorough illusion, through the noisy, lonely, garbage-like, psychedelic, drug, deceptive, sexually seductive imaginary illusion to deduce a kind of truth, this truth concealed The reality is ugly.
Bob chose rock and roll, choosing to create his own new direction with electronics, times, and the masses. "I'm not the kind of performer. I want to become a part of the crowd. I don't want to get closer to the audience." Bob said when recalling his experience in creating "Like A Rolling Stone." His rock is playing in an absent state, playing in a pure absence of self. Bob achieves self-denial and sublation through rock and roll, and through internal denial, to deny all external things and achieve a negative rock revolution.
This is also the ultimate proposition that Cate Blanchett is indulging in a drug-like psychedelic consciousness in the second half of the movie. He aspires to be a sufferer, a erroneous person who is eager to be saved, and even a chanter of Christ. Times The redeemer. This is a form of story expression that is completely beyond logic, and has a real and essential core of mutual confrontation.
After constantly denying himself, he uses rock music and audiences to reshape and construct, so as to realize the unity of the outside and the inside, express his thoughts, and achieve complete dominance of himself. This is the ultimate meaning of Bob's choice of rock. This is not a resistance to the real world, nor an endless fascination with the moral hallucinations brought about by the behavior of resistance. It is a brave game between the reality of an inner subject and the inherent reality of the outside.
The real world itself is deadly, hard, and impenetrable by oneself. When faced with angry people and a polarized world regime, the hope of saving the world through the music zone is almost non-existent accidental. The utilitarianization of art as a tool will never achieve the historical effect that has been engraved.
And it is the eternal proposition that refers to the impact of the awakening power of the subject's thinking and the expression of the most true nature such as desire.
Bob tries to get us closer to ourselves and the true nature of the world through rock and roll.
This will be an eternal revolution.
