Angle is a terrible thing, it can bring you two completely opposite experiences.
The movie machine was built in 1895, and the first sound film came out in 1928. "No War on the Western Front", produced in 1930, may not have more skills to show than the current blockbusters and no luxurious lineup, but it is very contagious. The film uses the perspective of young soldiers to experience a war. War is no longer full of meanings, but faces death, parting, fear, hunger...the world is crazy like purgatory.
The childish and energetic student soldiers were so hungry that they were hunting for food. They were frightened, one by one, they were bombed to death, with arms and legs missing, yet they were so genuinely nostalgic for life; the enemy was really so hateful. NS? The enemy who was killed by the protagonist accidentally carried photos of his wife and children in his arms. Why do we kill each other? This is a successful anti-war film. If the cinema is full of such films, no one will go to the battlefield.
But this is not the case. In fact, most of the movies around us show heroes. The enemy is to eliminate one to save money, and to eliminate the two is to make money. In "Red Cliff" (Part 1), which has just been hotly discussed, how many Cao Jun was shot, slashed, and stabbed to death by arrows in the gossip array. Have you been touched? No, I secretly rejoice with Liu and Sun coalition forces with less victory. The blood that fell should flow into a river. Behind everyone is a family with countless crying eyes. We have never experienced these pains, even if there are countless falling. why? Because of the different angles, each dead person has not been humanized to show, and has become a waterless symbol of lifelessness in the movie.
And the films, works, speeches that advocate patriotism and forget the ego to make the country self-fulfillment will surely make the youth and young people excited, enough to make them stop thinking and just follow the direction guided by the banner. In the beginning of "No War on the Western Front", the teacher wearing glasses, his voice trembled, and emotionally proclaimed this to his students, and in his sensational statement, the students were really eager to join the army in the battlefield. Why is this kind of blind enthusiasm in people easily mobilized, it is really a lie that becomes the truth after repeated N times? Milan. Kundera's "Laughing and Forgetting Record" satirized the crowd dancing around the square, and Solzhenitsyn was questioned by some people about the chauvinism of the great power.
Literary works are always just a tool, which can fulfill various needs and brainwash people. It is best for us to get in touch with more so as to avoid single information poisoning ourselves. Can I not be patriotic? When the country needs it, I can completely ignore it, as long as I live a better life? Can the country ignore the needs of each individual and place the interests of the country as a vain term infinitely high? This is a problem
