The three viewing positions
of "The Pentium Age" finally found the "Pentium Age" ("Seabiscuit"). In order to see this movie, I used P2P software, BT software, EMULE software, and all the search engines commonly used on the Internet. In the Internet cafe, in order to wait for the video seeds to be connected, looking at the surging Internet fees, my heart is full of poor peasant sadness. However, the download speed is always beating up and down 10K in single digits. I think if you have to wait for it to finish, it may have reached another Oscars ceremony.
Later, I accidentally discovered that the movie was collected on the homepage of Netcom's film and television online, and there was no need to download it, but only to watch it online. In other words, I don't need to spend so much time at all, I only need to walk a few steps to find a computer in our school dormitory, and then I can see it online-the Netcom dedicated line is used in our school dormitory.
So I remembered an old Chinese proverb: There is nowhere to be found if you step through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
With such a sigh, I watched the whole movie.
this is a true story. The background of the story is the United States during the Great Depression in the 1930s. From junior high school politics and history books, we can know that that era was one of the few low tides in the short history of the United States. The whole country was plunged into deep confusion and despair. I secretly speculated that the Americans of that era must have an evil fire in their hearts. According to the textbooks of junior high schools, workers were unemployed in large numbers at that time, and nearly half of the people in the country were unemployed. In order to maintain the price of the product, the capitalists do not hesitate to destroy a large number of commodities and dump tons of milk into the sea. Since then, I have always had a dark sense of separation towards the United States of this era.
I think this movie changed me.
At the beginning of the story, the rhythm of the narrative is bright and fast, telling three unsatisfactory people. A bicycle repairman made his fortune by doing a car business, but his son was killed in a car accident. His wife was angry and divorced. An old cowboy, who has the ability to communicate with horses like the "Horse Whisperer," was born at an untimely time. Poor; the son of a poet who loved horse riding since childhood, was forced to be separated from his family in the economic depression, wandered around, and made a living as a second-rate jockey and boxing, and went blind in boxing.
The story of each of these three people can be made in a movie alone. With three parallel clues, the director clearly and concisely told the rough half of life of these three people, and also shaped each person's character with distinctive characteristics. Howard is an optimistic, shrewd and steady businessman, Tom Smith is a veteran cowboy, and Pollard is a stubborn and stubborn rider. These three parallel lines of fate finally came together because of a small and humble horse. This horse is the "Seabiscuit" (Seabiscuit).
Seabiscuit's pedigree is excellent. Both grandfather and father are brilliant racehorses. But because of its slightly curved front feet and uneven body shape, it was judged as unqualified by its owner as soon as it was born. Therefore, it has never received any training and special care, and can only run in some small competitions. , Earning a humble bonus of several hundred dollars. Even as a training partner for other horses. It was a loser for the first half of his life until he met its Bole Howard. In desperation, Howard bought Seabiscuit, which was not optimistic. On a misty morning, Seabiscuit was led by people. Tom, the cowboy of the past and today's horse trainer, was immediately impressed by Seabiscuit when he saw Seabiscuit. Tom saw the tremendous energy contained in this horse, and saw the unruly look in its eyes. This is the turning point of Seabiscuit's "horse life". From then on, it began its life journey as a horse racing. Tom said, we just need to make it a horse.
So, the first posture to watch this video is: close your eyes and meditate. Think of yourself as a thousand-mile horse, waiting for Bo Le to appear. The old Chinese saying goes: Thousands of horses are often present, but Bole is not often present. Does this mean that on this earth, in this human world, in this huge racetrack, there are many Seabiscuits who have spent their entire lives in battle? Should I feel that this has nothing to do with me, or should there be a kind of sad and sorrowful heart?
In the second posture, raise your head and look at it with a smile. Howard is a very charming character in the film. I am always moved by his optimism. He always said, look at the outside, how vast, our finish line is in the future. Even after experiencing great changes, with the help of others, he quickly regained his fighting spirit. I was very touched at the beginning. He opened a bicycle repair shop by himself, and the business was light. Suddenly a steam car came and it exploded. He was asked if he would repair it. He was shocked and shrugged: "Sure! Ofcourse!" After taking the job, he started scratching his head against the parts on the ground. When he walked through the camera and edited a montage, he has become an insider in the auto industry, and he has created and improved cars of his own. In him, there is courage and confidence, as if everything can be done. I think of the junior high school textbooks, and the same thing is that in just ten years of effort, the United States has returned to its status as an economic power, and its momentum has become more vigorous. In addition to Roosevelt's New Deal, a spirit of optimism across the continent is needed. No matter how arrogant and domineering people are now, this optimism and fighting spirit is always worthy of our careful consideration.
The third position is to find someone next to you and watch with you. I mean, you have to compare something. When Seabiscuit is running, if there is a horse next to it, it will exert its amazing potential and create miracles. They are more tenacious, and the instinctive desire for victory in their hearts. As human beings, we can compare more things. We just need to stand in a row with each other and compete fairly. In that real history that existed decades ago, Seabiscuit created an immortal legend. Horse racing is generally in the prime of life around the age of five, a golden age. Seabiscuit is already nineteen years old. Often when running, the nose and mouth ooze and bleed. But it never slows down, even when turning. To win victory at the cost of life. I couldn't help being very ashamed, or a feeling of admiration. What makes it so persistent? Still an instinctive desire for victory. As human beings, we also have to support ourselves with some beliefs. Stephen Chow said in the movie, what is the difference between people without ideals and salted fish? Here's the analogy: if people don't have faith, don't they even be worse than a horse?
In fact, we can draw many other conclusions from the movie. But drawing conclusions is not the most important thing. The important thing is to warm up a certain part of your heart and let your body boil.
Because this is the era of Pentium. We are all "ocean biscuits".
