For me now, many dreams have been shattered, only to realize what a mentally handicapped survivor I am.
Think of the passionate feeling when I watched Lu Xun's "Fei Gong" back then, and later when I watch "Fei Gong" at my most chaotic and troubled moment, humanity! human nature! I always find spiritual support from other people's words. This is not only ridiculous or sad, but more importantly terrible, so I can only say that I am only a survivor up to now.
Hart, a high-achieving student who is not too good, is a child who can't support him in the face of not too violent torture. He is more like a young man of our generation. With great ideals in my heart, I think I must have noble sentiments, and when facing trials, I always make choices that I regret.
Colonel Mai, an old soldier who was deified by this play, a great man, just like Lu Xun's Mozi, is sacred, great, and super awesome, a man in the true sense.
Compared with these two characters, I like the guy who gave Hart a coat and told the female prisoners to be empty shells. He is so real, simple, charging forward, so kind, and this kind of man must end in death. Although his death was as great as Colonel Mai, it seemed so insignificant that he had to be stripped of his boots after death.
Man, what should it look like? In fact, this topic is not just for men. Here, the concept of gender has been philosophized. What kind of people shall we be? As a model of innocent and naive post-80s, my choice should be similar to Hart. From the initial betrayal to the final romantic sacrifice, Hart is just a child with no ambitions. And this kind of childishness is also the most serious shortcoming in me.
However, one detail in the film justified Hart’s choice. When Colonel Mak was about to escape from the tunnel, he heard Hart’s generous statement on behalf of Tao Zheng. This is also implying that we, Colonel Mak’s last The sacrifice is probably moved by Hart's childish behavior, which is more like what a man does compared to his many stupid children. He loves these stupid children, haha. I'm back again. I began to fantasize about such a beautiful scene again.
What I have lost is not faith, what I have gained, nor growth. It’s really scary. I still have a lot to learn. This is definitely not something that I can learn from movies, because movies and Lu Xun are just some. Talking in the child's dream. A real life must be smarter and firmer, and must be wiser and more free and easy.
Those who can live lovingly without love are the real cultivation bases.
