- the movie "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" (2009), I feel
that everyone has a certain role in this society, others have corresponding role expectations for him, and he himself will also have a role in his own role There is a question of approval or not. When his "identity" is inconsistent with other people's "expectations", he will have a psychological conflict. The result of the conflict is: either form a "hedgehog" or show "elegance" . However, whatever the outcome, we can interpret it as: human nature.
An example from Paloma illustrates this well. At the family banquet, Paloma pointed out the error in the speech of the guest Debelle. This behavior should be encouraged, but it annoyed the guest and her family. She became a "hedgehog" and was kicked out of the banquet by her father. From an adult's point of view, in the face of a guest's wrong remarks, if he has to point it out, he should point it out "elegantly" and take the guest's face into consideration. However, this kind of speaking skill needs to be learned the day after tomorrow, and little Paloma cannot yet do it. Obviously, Baroma became a "hedgehog" because of her momentary authenticity and recklessness, and the "elegance" that adults need is only the need for human interaction.
If we simply call people with "unpleasant" behavior "hedgehogs", then who is the "hedgehog" in the play? The heroine, Mrs. Michelle (Honey), as a concierge, but with her indifferent appearance and eccentric temper, has obviously stabbed a lot of people, and meets the standard of "hedgehog"; what about the rich Baloma family? The father who threw cigarette butts in the public space, the mother who was watering the flowers upstairs, and the sister who thought she was domineering were all "hedgehogs" that made her unhappy.
In fact, the two different types of "hedgehogs" are caused by the conflict between character expectations and character identity. The Baloma family only regards Honey as a concierge, and expects her role like a gatekeeper. While taking on her own role, Honey also hopes that others will treat her as a "human" and requires basic "respect". ". In this way, Honey's role identification is higher than the expectations of the Paloma family for her role; on the contrary, Honey believes that a rich person should have the appearance of a rich person, at least with the basic morality of being a human being. People who think they are in a high position can treat those in a lower position willfully, and their role identification is obviously lower than Honey's expectations for their role. The film is clearly critical when it presents these conflicts.
If this film regards Honey as a "hedgehog" in the eyes of everyone, and her rich spiritual world is the embodiment of her "elegance", then, it can be said that it is Honey's "elegance" that has made her full of life. body "thorn". We can prove a little as follows. The apartment property took Ozugran to explain the matter. When Ozugran asked Honey if she knew the Alden family, the property woman interjected and said, "That family is amazing", which caused Honey to be unhappy, so she said: " I'm not particularly familiar with that family." The property woman said, "Yes, a happy family." She then said, "Happy families are all the same." The property girl was stabbed, and what aroused her "stab" was the property girl's rudeness, and the weapon was her "elegance" - a famous quote in the famous book "Anna Karenina". Of course, some people may say that this is her "thorn" for "dignity". In fact, it is her "elegance" that gives her a sense of dignity. This can also be reflected in another detail. Paloma's sister blamed Honey for neglecting her knocking with the very frivolous language "Have you encountered a traffic jam?" I wonder where these "dignities" come from. If dignity is never downgraded, what makes her have such a high style? Obviously, it is her "elegance" and her rich spiritual world.
"Elegance" can not only "stab" others, but also sometimes hurt yourself. "I have to be cautious, I don't want to make anything happen, no one wants to hire a pretentious janitor." From Hani's words, we can see the "fear" in her heart, so where does this fear come from? ? It comes from other people's opinions of her, so she is cautious and tries hard to hide her spiritual world to prevent her so-called "pretentiousness" from revealing. Mean" is a little bit of a cover, but when you meet someone who is really elegant (such as Ozu Grand), or even a little more careful (such as Paloma), her "elegance" is immediately revealed; besides, if she is a For someone who has no spiritual world, why should she worry about being "pretentious", even, even if she is really pretentious, maybe others really don't think about it in that way. If so, it can be said that her fear comes from her "elegance", and this fear will surely disturb her throughout her life.
In addition to "fear", "grace" also torments her mentally. She told Ozugran, "Here... Pierre Arden's death makes a lot of fuss, but the death of a janitor is an unremarkable thing in life." What made her have this This sense of equality is obviously also her "elegance". Just imagine how mentally tormented a person who thinks about these social problems all day long without being able to provide any solutions.
Of course, I found some "elegant" "thorns", which does not mean that I want to warn others: don't have "elegance" beyond the character's expectations, and don't have a "spiritual world" that others cannot identify with. In fact, we are all hedgehogs. I remember that when I read Plato's view of justice (his view of justice roughly said that it is justice for everyone to perform their duties and fulfill their duties), I yelled at me, do I feel uneasy when I do things outside my duties? Now that I think about it, I can't help laughing. Bai Shi just said something very human about TMD. (by: heshenggen/2015-02-23)
