What do you want civilization to be?

Before watching the movie, because the movie won a lot of awards, and there is a story about the director desperately looking for investment and insisting on completing the shooting, plus the movie set for more than 4 hours, I thought the movie should be worth watching, sincere but slightly biased Literary, obscure and lengthy plot feature film. But when I started watching it, I realized that the film presented a tense atmosphere and a lively rhythm from the very beginning, the shots were crisp, and the whole film was full of male wildness and masculinity, which made me forget that this is a 4 More than an hour of movies and concentrate on enjoying the fun of watching movies. There is an ancestral bird in the film, which appears several times in the film, when young men get married, when men succeed in hunting, and when Mona Ludao is determined to launch a war of resistance against the Japanese, this little bird will appear. Sing beautiful songs. And with the ups and downs of the plot, a bird seemed to fly into my heart from time to time, shining brightly, but I couldn't recognize what kind of bird it was.
The film tells the story of a famous Taiwanese aborigines named Seediq Bale who desperately resisted and dedicated themselves to freedom after Japan occupied Taiwan. Under the banner of civilization, Japan wants to tame this group of unruly "beasts" and subdue them to become their own people. Perhaps the Seediqbalai people have become accustomed to freedom, or perhaps it is because they will never learn to surrender. Their blood, whether bullets, cannons, or evil biochemical weapons, cannot destroy the pride in their hearts. What impresses me most about this film is that in the face of the Japanese who have checked themselves far from weapons and manpower, the Sediq Bale basically resisted with the determination to die. Obviously, in the face of freedom and self-esteem, compromising and living seems ridiculous, absurd, unmanly, and boring to them. As Mona Ludao said in the film: "If your civilization history tells us to bow down, then I will show you the pride of barbarism!" And what exactly is civilization? Is it tidy streets and buildings, or lofty and glorious humanitarianism and humanistic care; is it a gorgeous and interesting iphone 4 and a SLR camera, or a boiling and terrifying X-47B and an aircraft carrier; is it the ever-improving laws and System, or power and politics full of doubts ••••••Civilization is also experiencing slow growth. It is generally believed that civilization begins with the emergence of centralized power. I think this is also for convenience. As a result of managing and stabilizing the order, gradually, with the accumulation and development of knowledge, the abundance of knowledge and the size of the productive forces slowly established the main indicators of civilization, but in the end people found that spiritual civilization is also one of the main parts of civilization, just For example, when the West invaded Africa and the Americas, it was always defined as the victory of civilization over barbarism, but they did not realize that their actions were actually barbaric. Only in the modern West did they gradually realize that this definition of civilization was wrong. . So civilization is a sacred and high-level thing from time to time, and no one can make you a slave with civilization. If civilization really represents our future development direction, then the point is not what civilization is, but what you want to do Let civilization be, because civilization does not exist from the beginning, it is what you think is appropriate, and the appropriate standard is constantly changing, so to be precise, “civilization is the process of understanding the world and transforming it. The ideas and concepts gradually formed in the process of the world and the concrete manifestation of the ever-evolving human nature”, it is not something that is determined by whoever has the most power. So when someone uses civilization as an excuse to force others to do things, then today it seems that this is an uncivilized act. I think the pursuit of freedom and dignity is one of the most important parts of human nature. In the movie, Mona Ludao asked Dutchess before he resisted, "Are you going to enter the Japanese shrine or the home of our Seediq ancestors?" Dutchess chose Seediq, I think if Dutchess is in Japan society is a machine without dignity. I think a civilized society should fully respect a person's freedom and dignity.
I often wonder if our current society is a civilized society. Since childhood, the concept is to study hard and find a good job and a good family in the future. The unswerving freedom in our hearts is about to be slowly wiped away. As we get used to it, we may have trouble getting even savage pride.
