This film doesn’t have a lot of new ideas. It’s not like a movie, but it’s more like Andersen’s fairy tales, especially the ending. It’s easy for us to think that the ending of fairy tales when we were young is the same sentence-from then on, the prince and the princess lived happily. life. In the plot, only a little surprise is arranged. It is not the affectionate kiss of the "prince" that lifts the curse of the heroine, but himself. Facing reality, accepting and adapting to reality, this somewhat raised the height of the film.
Many people like to interpret this film from the perspective of love, but I have seen something other than love. There is a small detail in this movie that really touched me, that is the last moment the reporter put the camera down. At that time, people were all concerned about this girl with a pig nose. They all liked her and admired her courage to open herself. Even in order to please the public, that handsome aristocratic gentleman would rather marry her, even if he didn't want to look at her at all, even if he even wanted to kiss her and vomit. From birth to the end of the film, this girl has an inseparable relationship with the media. Because of her aristocratic status and the curse related to her family, she has attracted media attention. Basically, this is a girl who grew up under the spotlight. Although her parents made the illusion that she was dead, she still couldn't stop this "cat and mouse" game.
Let's take a look from the protagonist to the dwarf reporter. After the baby Penelope was born, it was him who hid in her house and wanted to take a sneak shot but was blinded by her mother's right eye; he knew that Penelope was still alive and bought MAX and wanted to take a sneak shot of her, but he tried to get the real picture of Penelope and said, "I." He is the one who thinks we should stop. It is him who gave the two men next to her at Penelope's wedding; he finally put down the camera for the happy life of the "Prince" and "Princess". . . . It’s not just the camera that’s being put down, it may also be the headlines of tomorrow’s newspaper. If you judge him from the perspective of a reporter, it is estimated that many journalists will think that this is an incompetent reporter, but it is precisely this "incompetent" behavior that makes him As a journalist, I was moved and admired. I was not moved by the happy ending of the lover's marriage, but was moved by the reporter's small move in the film. I think this reporter is just because he really wants to bless the lovers who will choose to remain silent and pass by them quietly in a small boat. He understands that the greatest respect and blessing for this relationship is to give them a quiet and free soil. Think of Diana's love as the best interpretation of this reporter's behavior.
Sometimes, what the spotlight brings to the protagonist on the stage is not necessarily a halo, it may also be a lingering nightmare. I think of a character I met in the newspaper a few years ago—the "prodigy" Ning Bo. Thirty years ago, Ning Bo, who was only 13 years old, stated that he could recite more than 30 poems by Mao Zedong at the age of 2 and a half, count 100 at the age of 3, recognize more than 400 Chinese characters at the age of 4, go to school at the age of 5, and start learning at the age of 6. "Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine" and the use of Chinese herbal medicine, can play Go at the age of 8 and read "Water Margin" profusely." It attracted the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and even Fang Yi, the then Vice Premier of the country. Thirty years ago, he was the first student in the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China; 30 years ago, he was called the "first prodigy" by the media; 30 years ago, newspapers, magazines, and television throughout China reported on Ning Bo, "That It's the era of Ning Bo and Xie Yanbo". 16 years after leaving the juvenile class, Ning Bo once recalled privately that his pain at the time was mainly due to the excessive exaggeration of public opinion. I couldn't learn the major I liked, and was deprived of many of the rights of life and entertainment due to the title of "child prodigy", so he chose to become a monk and ended up in 2002. Fang Zhongyong was a child prodigy when he was a child, but he grew up to be mediocre. Such lessons have been learned from ancient times. The only difference between Ning Bo and Fang Zhongyong is that the media's intervention has accelerated the fall of this "prodigy". This is also the biggest difference between the modern "prodigy" and the ancient "prodigy". Of course, we still can’t say categorically that Ning Bo’s becoming a monk was a failure in his life. Maybe it was his relief, maybe he could become a monk like Master Hongyi. However, if there was no media hype at the time, maybe Ning Bo's life would be a different story, at least not so much pain.
Bai Juyi began literacy at the age of 1, started writing poetry at the age of 5, and was already proficient at the age of 9; Norbert Wiener, the founder of American cybernetics, could read at the age of 3, entered university at the age of 12, graduated from university at the age of 15 and less than 19 Received a doctorate; Austrian musician Mozart began composing at the age of 5 and writing operas at the age of 11. Not living in the contemporary era is their luck. If they have been "sieged" by reporters since their childhood, and they are hyped up by the media, will they have any future success? In the increasingly commercialized media, sometimes journalists become more and more numb in pursuit of profit, and responsibilities and professional ethics are even more out of the question. The reporter first exists as a "person". What exactly should we call the "uncrowned king"? Is it "Wu Tiger" or "Paper Bun"? I love "Southern Weekend", and I love his sentence "make the powerless and let the pessimists move forward". I didn't know how many journalists were inspired at that time, and it was the support point of how many people's journalistic ideals. Our journalism ideals should be based on the premise of producing more positive effects. Therefore, I think that journalists should sometimes listen to their inner moral and human call, put down the camera in their hands at the appropriate time, and don’t let us shine. The lights cause injury to people.
Perhaps this view of mine does not make me a so-called "good reporter" in the eyes of the public, but I still agree with and appreciate the actions of the reporter in the film. If it were me, I would also put down the camera and give them peace of mind. The sky grows and flies freely, even though I will lose a front page headline.
