In most cases, most of us, as individuals, are caught up in the times, like those ordinary warriors in Kolchak's troops, I don't know how many of them really understand what Kolchak calls God and motherland, they don’t even know that they are fighting against the most terrifying and brutal state machine in the twentieth century. That kind of governance is unheard of in human history. It is definitely an “innovation”, and in this huge machine In China, those ordinary soldiers are just the same flesh and blood as them. They go to war and fight for the "motherland", but replace "God" with "people" - we can't condemn many of them, just Like you and I are just an individual, a powerless individual, an individual at the mercy of others, an individual who is ignorant even if they are deceived and used, in the eyes of some people, it is just a point on their chess piece, small enough to be completely ignored.



It’s been a long time since I wrote, either I didn’t have time or I was too lazy to write, I clicked on a few white sticks, and recalled the film I watched a few nights ago. At that time, it was late at night, and the familiar feeling of passage and depression followed the end of the film. diffused around the room. I wonder why in this world the seeds of freedom can only sprout and take root on the soil of pain. The problem, however, is that I can't address a concern that if I'm a patriot, I'm interfering with my own and other people's lives, or otherwise, how to get out of the concept and convince people, or whether I'm just enjoying the pleasure of speaking.

Netizens also commented on the film a lot, such as "White Guards and the Elegy of the Old Times", or a little bit: "Nima, the director and screenwriter must hate the CPSU to make such a vicious film. "Reactionary Warlords" became Jiang Wei."

For us anyway - "us" again - this film was needed, reflecting the prevailing view of history in contemporary Russia - reassuringly - - also reflecting their increasingly nationalistic sentiments - Kolchak was betrayed by the Allies. But some comments make me think of another question.

What am I referring to? That view of history as a bitch. History is a bitch, constantly feeding generations of people in power. This is of course cynicism, and I think the key thing to watch out for is that in the final analysis, it has the effect of complicity with power, not subversion - of course, from the perspective of malicious speculation, he may have complicity as a starting point, but East and West. Disintegrating all values ​​poses a far less threat to power than clarifying the truth. The problem is that you would say that there is no truth, then at this point the power will laugh, well, it will say, - I want to use the first person - indeed there is no, my truth is false, against mine The truth provided by people is also false, and some are just "there is no truth" itself, so on this basis, how can you subvert my legitimacy? If it is legal, everyone is illegal. You actually did a good thing for me, and it seemed like you knocked me down, but you actually knocked down my enemy.

Historical nihilism will not disintegrate power, it will only be an accomplice of power, it is the real pimp of power, it makes it easy for power to ravage us. People are immersed in this kind of lament: "We only have the fate of being screwed." The

so-called Tao is different, and we do not conspire. Besides, the saints lament like this, why do we need to be able to convince others. In this movie, Kolchak is naturally a positive character - I talked to He Lao the next day about this Kolchak image, and later I talked about the "Quiet River Don" which reflects the same era and the same country. ” gone—so the film “Nothing” is called subversion or reversal—whether it is subversive or reversal, the key is why the need for “reversal” and “reversal” arises, and who made the “case”, naturally It's the CPSU, why can everyone "flip" it, because the CPSU is finished. What is the use? Better to flip than not to flip. To clarify the truth, even if it is painful, is better than to enjoy the silence of the relatives and enemies who are in a hurry-the real enjoyment is the enemy, and their favorite saying is "Let the past pass."

past? You can't get through with me, why should I let you through? They enjoyed the "pass", but our relatives "go" forever.

Christ said, love your enemies. But I don't believe he can forgive those twentieth-century disaster-makers. For us, what we need most is not denial, but truth. What power fears is truth, not the kind of seemingly radical denial of everything—they disintegrate themselves, collapse before the war, steal chickens and lose rice—truth The real enemy of power is no longer power, but this utter skepticism that pervades and is especially unbearable.

Of course, there is no need to worry. In our era, the situation and pattern may not be what you have heard, so you can take a calm attitude and make an optimistic but not out of thin air imagination. Those who are really doing things are still there. Do it, bit by bit, and the real trend will never depend on those sceptical skeptics who pretend to deny everything that is at hand with the truth.

I originally planned to write a film review and practice my unfamiliar writing. Having said so much, it completely deviates from the starting point of my mind just now. It seems that people are really strange animals. They can inadvertently deviate from their own purpose, or that writing text does not need to be set up at all. for what purpose? If there is a purpose, it is only a need that arises temporarily in each specific part, and it can be constantly transformed. So to say that writing is true freedom, of course, it is also physically unfree. In fact, what I want to say is still those words. It is like history. It has no preset purpose, and history has no script. I think of the great Herzen, of those souls who had long been prophesied, of the quagmire we have fallen into again and again - lies, terror, conspiracy, slaughter - physical slaughter, spiritual slaughter - and on this path, some of us are Foresight, and we step into the same river again and again.

We either turn a deaf ear or do nothing about prophecy, and in most cases, most of us, as individuals, are caught up in the times, like those ordinary warriors in Kolchak's army, I don't know of them How many people really understand Kolchak's so-called God and Motherland, and they don't even know that they are fighting against the most horrific and brutal state machine in the twentieth century, a way of ruling unheard of in human history, and definitely a " "Innovation", and in this huge machine, those ordinary soldiers are just the same flesh and blood as them, going out to war, fighting for the "motherland", but replacing "God" with "people"—— We cannot condemn many of them, just as you and I are just one individual, an individual who is powerless, an individual at the mercy of others, an individual who is deceived and exploited but is ignorant, in some people's eyes, they are just them A point on the chess piece, so small that it can be completely ignored.

But we ourselves cannot ignore ourselves, we are born to be who we are, and so are others, and we have to live and have the courage to defend our lives. Knowledge is a power, and ignorance is a power, but the power of the knower belongs to himself, and the power of the ignorant belongs to others - so power requires ignorance.
