People are always used to looking for a definition for their own behavior, which is what Kant called "practical reason". If an act is enough to make me want to stop, the more shocking and unacceptable it is, the more I will seek a great and noble definition for it. And when many such definitions come together, a belief is formed.
So behavior precedes definition, definition precedes belief, and belief in turn affects behavior. - It is in this cycle that people stagger forward.
The strength of belief is proportional to the strength of the definition, and inversely proportional to the recognition of the behavior. ——So the Semitic people who have been persecuted all the time have created a highly unified Christian belief, while the Indo-Europeans who are in the dominant position of the ancient civilization have presented a loose philosophical system with numerous tributaries.
So how did the initial behavior come about?
In "Kick-Bian King", Dave's behavior of becoming "Kick-Bian King" precedes the definition of "saving the world", so the latter is not the reason for the former, the real reason lies in his aesthetics generated by the heroic image in the comics attracted. By extension - Misha's love for Hannah in "The Reader" stems from the attraction of sensual beauty; Wesler's redemption of art in "Eavesdropping Storm" stems from the attraction of Kristasilan's beauty performance; I The belief in the "humanistic care" of drama comes from the attraction of self-beauty in the dream of the stage...
It can be seen that if the world really has a source, then it is not God, nor philosophy - just beauty.
How did beauty come about?
From an anthropological point of view, beauty comes from biological, historical, moral, and empirical inheritance. From this point alone, I agree more with the Indo-European view of the world - the world has no beginning and no end. Since there is no source, beauty is more precisely a connection point.
Beauty, the creator of the soul.
For beauty, most people may only stay at the level of being attracted and pursued, and some people will fall into the stereotype of formal beauty. And only a few people will sublimate and begin to ask their own questions about this pursuit metaphysically, and find their own answers in it. And fewer people will get the same answer for multiple actions, and beliefs begin to take shape. And since then, there are very few people who can take this belief as a signpost, bravely let go of themselves, and change their behavior.
Among them, the word "big chance" is worth considering - for the discussion of chance, please refer to the following "Movie "Eavesdropping Storm" - a small resistance to the big world".
And this whole process - I call it "love".
So even if it's just a hilarious commercial movie, no matter how detached it is and lacks absurd power - I see beauty and love in it.
……Of course! It's just my definition, so it has nothing to do with the act of whether people will go, or whether they should see the movie.
In this meaningless world, I'm telling the truth.
