feels like reliving Hong Kong movies. Andy Lau and Donnie Yen are good men!
I was stunned when I saw this movie, woc, what am I watching. . Isn't this a naked underworld? .
Of course, the content of bloody violence is secondary, but the values conveyed in it are worthy of vigilance. The social psychology reflected in it is
the era worth studying that human life is really worthless, "life and death have a life".
Psychologically speaking, in a long-term turbulence, a person will strongly pursue the more powerful force to obtain the satisfaction of a sense of security.
So does a nation.
In troubled times, people will be demanding of gods and heroes. In troubled areas, there will be a desire for power and a "big brother".
Those idols must have more powerful power, such as miracles performed by destiny, such as Liu Bang beheading the white snake and other emperor legends, although we all know that they are also mud legs, in history we can find that the political power is in the hands of people with divine power, history books Many of the leaders on the board often have miracles; or have amazing powers and deeds, such as the ability to carry a cauldron (probably true.), such as three heads and six arms.
Or conquer people with terrifying violence and courage, such as duo fingers, fighting without fear of pain or death.
At that time, strength alone was not enough, but there was also benevolence and "loyalty". Floods and beasts and some mentally ill people are of course very bizarre and fierce, but people will not worship them.
To be a spiritual leader, you must love people and people. If you want to be the boss of the village, you have to be especially loyal and draw your sword to help.
The above can be said to be the idol school in troubled times.
What does this have to do with this movie?
It has something to do with some Hong Kong movies.
Hong Kong has experienced deformed prosperity in the past. It is filled with desire for money, power and material comfort. In that era of social and political turmoil, people were full of insecurities, so there was always an expectation for idols.
Art, as a reflection of social psychology, shapes some images and meets people's needs.
Gambling saints, underworld bosses, and so on, these images are idols created and idols worshipped in the hearts of Hong Kong people.
The popularity of some Hong Kong movies must be a reflection of similar social psychology, that is, we also have that kind of idol in our hearts to meet the needs of our sense of security and dependence.
(I actually don’t know much about Hong Kong movies, but I talk about it with a little reflective image. If you know more, you will have a deeper understanding, so there must be mistakes and omissions, please correct them)
The black and white bigwigs in the film , all of them have superhuman vitality, so they can call the wind and call the rain. It's amazing.
However, I just watched from the sidelines, that era has passed, and those characters (the idols in people's hearts) will pass away.
This film of life and death is a farewell and final tribute to this psychology.
I want to say that that era is over, we no longer need heroes, we no longer need bosses.
As modern people, we should be our own heroes, heroes in this ordinary life, we should find our own life, not living in the shadow of others, that is, how powerful that person is.
Life, I can't decide, death, I can't decide, but between life and death, I call the shots.
I remember this sentence.
Hero of the past era, your image in my heart is no longer so majestic, but I still admire you, but a new era has begun, and ordinary life is moving to a high stage.
Please, each of you, start your show.
