I'm addicted to the movie and I love it. In the past, I always wanted to use the above scene as the beginning of a movie if I could one day make it myself. This beginning, I think, is completely instinctive for me. There is nothing to show off at this beginning, it is not novel, and it cannot give people a refreshing feeling. But really, it's what I've been trying to express in the past.
If this beginning feels very abstract, then I will make an image metaphor: the stage is like our road in life, and the darkness all around means that we do not have a life plan that can be accurately calculated like a mathematical formula. We can think of it as hope, I am who we are, and our bodies are bound by something that means we are not free... Then why are we not free? I think we all have the same question...
Li Ao, someone should know. He wrote a book called "Fayuan Temple". Located on Niujie in Beijing, the inscription on the temple says: "Fayuan Temple" originally had many names, but the most recent name, Fayuan Temple, was given by Emperor Yongzheng. According to Buddhism, human suffering is caused by "greed, hatred, ignorance", and to get rid of suffering, one must "precept, calm and wisdom". Yongzheng even believed that precept is the source of all dharmas to exorcise suffering, hence the name of Fayuan Temple.
Speaking of Yongzheng, he should be regarded as a wise monarch in Chinese history. "National affairs, family affairs and world affairs", "Meritorious merits and virtues and words" can't let go of everything, and they all do it by themselves. A person who pursues perfection is often suffering, after all, the world is inherently imperfect. Therefore, when Yong Zheng was unable to resolve his suffering, he chose spiritual sustenance and religious belief. However, Yongzheng only realized that the source of all laws is the word "precept". Once you understand it, all dharmas will naturally become clear. But how hard is it to actually do it. After all, people have feelings and desires, so there are still so many troubles in being a human being and being an emperor. How can the word "precept" be so good?
We live in an era of knowledge and information explosion, and we live in a society driven by a "market economy". Our life is fast-paced, and each of us must continue to work hard, work hard, and work hard to ensure that we will not be eliminated by society. Just like we live in a mechanical world at any time, everything has a strong purpose. The more rational we are than perception, the stronger the purpose. Later, we all seem to be fascinated. Completely bound by something invisible, we are completely captive physically and mentally. With the take-off of technology and the changes of the times, everything has become more transparent, digital and simplified. The comparisons that people make with each other will become clearer. Comparisons are vague and incomprehensible at the spiritual level, because they do not have a unified value standard; comparisons in material life are due to the transparency of all personal material consumption power. The digitization of finance and finance makes it easy for people to make subjective judgments that can be used to determine and compare a person's personal worth. Under the premise of this social background, it makes it easier for us to see the so-called gap between each other. There is a gap, and each of us wants to fill that gap [unless you are incompetent in people's traditional concepts] People], in the process of bridging this gap, we are eager to think that a better material life can bring us long-term satisfaction and pleasure, so as to achieve self-realization and comfort, although we can work harder In order to achieve this goal in exchange for the improvement of our own material life and consumption purchasing power, but because our greedy nature does not have a fixed reference [because greed has no bottom line], our comparison object will also follow us. Change and constant transformation, so our greater material possessions will also follow. So all our satisfaction is only short-lived [this I think everyone has their own personal feelings]. Because when we achieve our goals and do not make progress, we will not only feel that we are stagnant and in a sluggish state; we will also feel that because we have been indulging in material life for a long time and blindly pursuing crazy pursuits, we will lead to The extreme lack of spiritual culture. When this kind of material life and spiritual culture are out of balance due to the infinitely widening gap, we will often feel inexplicable spiritual emptiness, irritability, and delusion in our life. In order to eliminate this sense of falsehood, ignorant us may take a chance and look forward to better material enjoyment tomorrow to stimulate the experience of life, in exchange for pleasure. In fact, maybe every time we get pleasure, what we get is greater nothingness and emptiness hole; and there is also the inner boredom of the state of life. All efforts and attempts seem to be in vain at this time. In fact, we hide the emptiness and nothingness of life behind the material, and deceive ourselves. Gradually, we will gradually become afraid of life, and our perception and response to the surrounding world will also weaken a little bit, so the perception of our own existence will become blurred and unreal. We wander between fantasy and reality. the true meaning of life. When it really hits the trigger, maybe we have reached the abyss, and we can't help ourselves and have no way out.
I think we all take the same train at the same time, the train will not stop for one person's reasons, it will keep going fast at its own speed, we can't stop because we miss the scenery outside the window, we will only be smashed to pieces when we jump off the train . [Trains are society, and trains are our universal values, a standard by which society evaluates others] Therefore, in our society driven by the "market economy", the more successful people are, the greater the pressure. , you must be prepared to withstand more pressure! Can our values withstand the lightness of life?
Speaking of "Journey to the West", I think many people have seen it [especially our generation]. Maybe a lot of people see it as a comedy and think it's fun, and it won everyone's laughter, plus there are many classic lines in it, so that everyone still has an unforgettable aftertaste and a fresh memory. I just want to give an example. At the end of the movie, the Western warrior and Zixia Fairy hugged on the tower and saw the back of Monkey King, and said: Look at him, does he look like a dog? At this time, Sun Wukong had already made up his mind to help Tang Seng get the scriptures from the west. The road to obtain scriptures was full of ups and downs. In order to realize this cause, Sun Wukong could only abandon the love of his children and be willing to be a dog of Tang Seng. Maybe when it comes to this time, you will say, it's really sad, or you will cry and feel sorry for this love that has no part in it, and sympathize with Sun Wukong. But my point of view may be the opposite, what I want to say is: in our opinion he is very sad, but it can also be said that Sun Wukong is actually lucky, because he has let go of everything, let go of the love that has always tortured him. Long, his pain, his dilemma, his ambitions, his greed, his embarrassing situation when his career and love cannot be balanced or have both. His greed, his "fish and bear's paw" anguish of wanting to have both has been haunting and tormenting him. But in the end, he still chose to be a "dog" of Tang Monk. He no longer had any worries, so he was said to be free. From the game of life's dilemma, he chose to be a "dog". Can we say he is pathetic? Can we still laugh at him like a dog?
The movie "Fight Club" said: Real society and damn advertising make us pursue cars and fashion, yearn for famous brand fashion, high-end furniture, luxury apartments, let us do what we hate and learn what we don't like, okay Make it possible for yourself to buy shit you don't really need in the future. We are a generation abandoned by history, not only do we have no purpose and no place, we have no great wars, and we have no Great Depression. Our great war is a struggle against our own soul, and our Great Depression is a matter of facing the material world of greed, and the inner truth is illusory. We watched TV as kids and fantasized about being a millionaire, a movie star, or a rock star one day. But we won't do that anymore, we're slowly uncovering the truth. I want to say that in fact, we have the opportunity to be reborn. It is necessary for us to expand our free will to a limited extent, to show our self, and we have the right to choose freedom!
If I get the chance, I'll shoot now: I'm sitting in a chair, I can feel the same bondage, it's also dark all around, a beam of light is shining in front of me [hope is there, the light is in front of you ], but I was immersed in the darkness because I wasn't sitting in the center of the stage, I guess I was just part of the darkness. Maybe, the place where I sit is not a stage at all, it is a grocery room, or a cellar, or a place where everything is messed up. One insignificant person among more than 6 billion people. At the beginning of the article, I likened myself to be tied to the stage of life. What I want to express here is: maybe we are not on the stage at all, which shows that all assumptions are that we take ourselves too seriously and are self-centered. result. Think of us as the center, the focal point, like an artist performing on the stage of your own life. In fact, maybe we are nothing, in the eyes of others, we may just be in a dark and damp cellar]
Give up everything and regain freedom. [It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything...]
