Afterthought

"Gulliver's Travels", a well-known masterpiece, some people say that it is a satirical novel of travel style... However, when I watched its movie-for me, Swift used unconstrained imagination and Bohemian pen and ink, spanning a century of time, as a director, confide in his heart in various bizarre stories. The turbulent waves hit the shore, the wind was violent, and the sea whispered Gulliver's story with a deep and magnetic voice. Behind the story is the author's criticism and dissatisfaction with the real society. All the things he saw and heard during the journey had human inferiorities. Gulliver's first trip was to Lilliput, where is Lilliput. There, he had to devour a large batch of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep with a lot of barrels of wine for a meal. The people of the Lilliputian have a good standard of living, and they understand things very well. But their king listened to the villain's slander, formed gangs in the political affairs, intrigued and deceived, selected officials based on rope dances, and fought against neighboring countries for years. Use the so-called divine rescue to morally kidnap Gulliver to achieve his sinister purpose. As an Englishman, the author used the Lilliputian story to satirize the partisanship disputes in the UK at that time. Let people feel the cute "little people" in the country of the small people. I deeply feel the helplessness and danger of Shen Gong-it can be said that "language is a sharp sword". These wonderful experiences have revealed the evils of human nature in the capitalist world and expressed the irony of the decadence and incompetence of the bourgeoisie at that time. Life, always in the deepest despair, see the most beautiful wind. Swift writes to outline Gulliver's life journey, and at the same time, is he not pursuing his spiritual needs? It's perfect to describe him. Deep in the dark and chaotic world, he still stubbornly pursues the beauty of the legendary. He wrote for half a lifetime, and a lifetime of ups and downs, just for the wisdom in that story. The film uses comedy to show people the society at that time, in which era of wars and disputes, how the author hopes that there will be no wars! How much he yearns for peace!
