human conflict

After watching Doctor Strange, my brain is actually open. Not only is it a variety of fantastic pictures, but also marvels at its ideological design. This film, like many Hollywood blockbusters, focuses on human nature and people's hearts.

A highly skilled surgeon, but because of a car accident damaged his hands, almost lost the ability to survive. In order to heal his hands, he found a mage in Nepal, learned the truth of life, and was also involved in a war of mysterious forces.

There are several kinds of conflicts buried here, and the resolution of each conflict is thought-provoking.

First, the conflict between different ways of thinking and perspectives on the problem. As a surgeon with a double doctorate degree, Dr. Strange has treated countless patients with his professional knowledge and scalpel. In the view of Master Gu Yi, they heal the mind and change the energy of the body through deep self-discovery. Just as the snail has a police officer whose evidence comes first in love, and the little snail of psychoanalysis, so does their conflict. Do not accept each other, do not understand, look down on each other, naturally unable to communicate. From Gu Yi's point of view, Doctor Strange is arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant, and many outstanding people have a stinky problem; and Doctor Strange also thinks that Master Gu Yi is arrogant and fabricated. It was not until Doctor Strange saw the abilities of Master Gu Yi that he began to completely empty himself and accept the other party's teaching, which was also the beginning of the self from good to great.

Second, flexibility and perseverance in conflict. Among the young apprentices, there is an Indian who unswervingly follows the ancient one, believing in her supreme belief and the pure and flawless means of practice. Until being exposed by the enemy, it is not that Gu Yi did not master dark magic, but she covered it up well and maintained her longevity for many years. When in a battle, the Indian apprentice discovered that the ancient master had used dark magic tricks, and the belief system completely collapsed. But Doctor Strange says it's complicated. A complicated, revealing that he has gone through self-transformation, and his understanding of human nature has risen to a certain height. In his world, there are not only black and white good and bad, but he puts himself in his shoes to understand how a person with lofty ideals and beliefs who needs to maintain world peace should learn the other's martial arts, but not use them easily; prolong life, but not for the sake of Own. In the end, the nimble Doctor Strange and the stubborn Indian apprentice work together to defeat the enemy. Although the Indian apprentice finally left because he could not accept the deception of the master, the contradiction between the two beliefs and values ​​was still well resolved.

Time frame, conflict of life and death. The sect's betrayed traitor said that all practice is for immortality, and if you master the time, you will master everything. Rewind time, stop, move forward, change the rhythm of time... Doctor Strange, who was disrupted by time, overheard a word from his opponent, no one can surpass time... What does beyond time mean? He had an epiphany, ran to the distant universe, and talked to time itself. He went to negotiate terms and was defeated by the leader of the dark kingdom. He reversed time, continued to negotiate terms, and was defeated again. After repeating this, the leader of the dark kingdom is angry, what do you want? He said I asked you to take back your subordinates. In the end, the other party agreed, and the enemy was disintegrated. When I saw this, my friends and I both thought of the chess we played at the same time. In the last few steps, I had few chess pieces at my disposal, so I could only rely on one rook to repeatedly besiege the general. However, if you chase after me and hide like this, the chess game will not end, and you can only use other pieces, even small pawns. The transcendence of time, the rule of transcendence, repeats itself until it begins to feel helpless. Just like Sisyphus in Greek mythology, a stone that can't be pushed and a life that can't be ended. Death is to give value to life. Gu Yi is right.

Finally, the conflict between self-actualization and devotion to humanity. This conflict also appeared in "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle". Originally, he entered a group by accident. Later, in the edification of the group, he sublimated his own thoughts, changed his goals, surpassed himself, and realized his value. It's just that I, who have been soaked in research, see this, it's like a kind of ideological brainwashing, and I can't solve it.
