~~~~~~~~~~ The film
review is over. If you are not interested, you can ignore the following~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What actually makes me curious is the desire of foreign children for dancing, beer, etc. , Is actually stated by this movie, a kind of argument that seems to be separated from the dance, without the dance party, the youth's life will be boring from then on. One has to wonder, is it really that important?
I happen to live in a European city, neither big nor small. My feeling is that if you are in a small city, most of the night activities are sitting in a bar drinking and chatting. The more high-end is sitting in a high-end bar drinking and chatting. When you encounter a larger city, you can occasionally find a place to dance. This is the local characteristic, this is what they are doing and what they love to do. Many international students like me are unable to integrate into this type of monotonous life and feel dull. I remember hearing an anecdote that a student studying in the United States followed a foreigner on a camping trip. In order to integrate into life, he couldn't hold on for a few weeks. It turns out that a foreigner is really living his life, and he just supported it. After trying to set up a tent for a few weeks, he was bitten by mosquitoes in the middle of the night when he heard the beasts outside shouting the strong wind, and he couldn't stand it. Foreigners thought he liked it, and always invited him, but he never dared to go again. Nothing else, just because that is not our life.
I remember the following conversation with my Chinese tutor: He felt that he was in a meeting in Germany, and he saw young German students and scholars attending the meeting casually quoting Hegel's work, accurate to the page, and said that he was very embarrassed, and often felt that he was not good enough. Far. As I thought about it at the time, I replied that Hegel had been reading it since they were young, and it was a native language. I remember that although Qing is commendable, it is still normal. If we compare our classics on Chinese learning, they can't do it either! Speaking of this, I suddenly got stuck. Yes, they can't, and we don't seem to be good either.
I've always been thinking about one thing recently, are we too anxious? Is there something, we are still wrong. We arranged for us to study English from childhood and to university. Except for friends in the Chinese department, college language became a rubbish class, but the importance of English has been increasing. Even teachers cannot avoid it. We need English for job titles, English for going abroad, and further studies. English, you need English when you are looking for a job. The goal is to keep up with the international standards and not to lag behind in competition. This one-and-one relationship is indeed competitive, but at the same time, we lose our roots bit by bit, because we don't pay attention to language, and we don't pay attention to what we once or destined for. We want to move closer to foreign countries and live a decent life for foreigners. We must have wine with dinner, speak English with English, work and find a foreign company, and serve a Starbucks coffee, as if this is decent, this is good. But in fact, such a seemingly truthful "truth" has been constantly being reflected on recently. Xu Jinglei made more and more high-end movies, but he was criticized more and more for being "ungrounded." We spent a lot of time learning from others to recite Shakespeare's jokes and watching Hegel Kant, but we didn't want to spend more. Time is in my own culture. This is also part of the reason why many overseas students often work poorly after returning home.
As a member of the transition phase, this sense of contradiction often surrounds me. It is necessary to recognize the advanced culture of others, but not necessarily at the cost of giving up oneself. I often feel sad for others to please foreigners. Although as a member of studying abroad, studying in another country must be recognized as something that you can't find in other countries, and it is also a sad part to please foreigners, but at the same time I see Too many examples of flattering outsiders and being despised by others. This has to be said to be a way of losing the original intention.
I think that Americans (or some regions) love dancing, and Europeans love bars as I understand it, just like China loves making tea, loves calligraphy, loves poem writing, loves to climb high, and loves. Going out early in the morning to buy two-drawer buns in the shop at the door, loves "If you want to eat fried liver, the drum tower turns a corner", loves Beijing and Sichuan Cantonese opera, loves singing K, loves all kinds of things that make foreigners confused. But in fact, this is just a cultural difference. There is no need to admire foreign lifestyles while belittling oneself, because in my opinion, the kind of cold war that "what others do, we also do, do better than them" The way of thinking will bring endless troubles, so we can see that the bustling city is full of bars, PUBs and Western restaurants, but the people inside are only staring at your wallet; international students who participate in fancy dress parties overseas only dare to stand Watching on the side; drinking expensive red wine but can only recite the information searched on the Internet. I just want to say that their things are not as interesting as imagined, and our things are not as backward and boring as imagined. If you are loving a certain lifestyle, it is normal. Everyone has a choice of lifestyle. Right, but don’t show your taste by despising other lifestyles, and don’t force yourself to brainwash yourself and tell yourself that such a lifestyle is superior and decent, and then live and suffer day after day, so that everyone can help. Can't help you.
Americans are indeed good at making movies. This is their invention, but the content of the movie is the real decisive factor. In my opinion, a group of high school students in a small town loves modern dance movies, that's all, this is the way of life. But you must ask me, the United States can shoot this and that, can China? I want to answer, although "Red Cliff" was not well filmed, and the modern films were badly filmed, but most of this is just a technical problem. We can learn and make progress. However, our Warring States warlords are divided, the Qin will destroy the Six Kingdoms, and the Han Gaozu will unite the world and the Three Kingdoms. What were the foreigners doing during the split? When the Chinese were thinking about philosophical issues, the American ancestors did not know if they came out in Europe. We learn from others, not to bow our heads, but to stand up again, "for the rise of China". This is not conservative feudal thinking and celestial mentality, because culture is always the root and foundation of Chinese people. Culture is always around us, waiting for us to find it. It is not in the hands of a certain political party or a certain dynasty, but it is in ours. In the blood, these are something they will never understand. Just like many people sigh for the fact that Chinese films always fail to get the Oscars, in fact, it is an American standard to get them. If the gains and losses are too heavy, you can't get them, and they are always exhausting their efforts. , It is better to put aside the gains and losses, and concentrate on doing your own thing is the right way. Besides, it is because you care about one thing that is so important, so why care about a movie award that is measured by American standards as far away as the United States? I humbly believe that the reason why this award is useful is in the official guide to American film viewing. If there is too much, it's all nonsense, and to increase the glory of others and reward one's own mouth.
I'm sorry to say so many things that are not related to the movie. Just be a lunatic gibberish.
