Only true love can exchange for reconciliation

From the Tower of Babel, the other side of heaven, crossing borders to crashing cars, they all use similar double-line narrative methods to express a situation where multiple cultures are in conflict and the process of finding a solution.

In the process of economic globalization, various cultural customs of different forms and contents will inevitably collide with the mainstream, and there will be friction, conflict, confrontation, and reconciliation. Which method can achieve the greatest degree of reconciliation, the final focus of each film is different, only this film is analyzed here.

Like the narration at the beginning of the movie, reminds me of the similar movie narration in Fallen Angels. Takeshi Kaneshiro said: "Every day, you pass by many people who may become your friends or confidants. So I never give up the opportunity to pass by anyone. Sometimes I get a bloody head. Liu, who cares! Just be happy.”

We have frictions and conflicts with different people every day, as long as we keep in touch with other people in one way or another, then the bond that maintains all kinds of feelings will always exist, then, between the two There will always be conflicts.

In the United States or such a white world led by American values, the conflicts between different regional cultures represented by different skin colors are particularly obvious. Where does the conflict come from? It radiates from the white skin of the self-confessed superiority of the first world countries. Here, skin color becomes the only criterion for distinguishing between good and evil. Like the profound symbols of Arabia, Iraq, Saddam, etc., it has become a deformed symbolic image, which has become an economic power and will never be erased after 9/11. go to the inner shadow.

Therefore, they believe that indiscriminate and indiscriminate use of what they see with their eyes is a group of people who deserve to be killed. Choosing the way to treat them based on the skin color of the object has also become an unspoken rule of the ethnic group.

But it cannot completely deny the conflict. The so-called "no fight, no acquaintance", the conflict brings both good and bad. Here, the film uses human initiative as the main factor leading to the conflict. Thus, from the viewpoint held in the Tower of Babel that the development of events is caused by oracles and beliefs, it has developed to the behavior results caused by people's subjective "assumations" here.

The way to find a solution is uniformly considered to be the instinctive love between people and the sincere communication that it leads to. Whether it is a policeman Tom, or a Persian daughter, a repairman father and his daughter, or a TV director and his wife, pure love has become the only force to dissolve the discriminatory barrier, and become a clear spring to extinguish the flames of mutual misunderstanding after conflict.

However, even though the concept of the "global village" brought about by globalization has reduced our physical distance to the greatest extent, our hearts seem to be getting further and further apart, just like what Wong Kar-wai in the Fallen Angels wanted to convey by using a long lens. In this way, the friction between each other is particularly precious, and the director should end with a new round of friction scenes. It is only in deep mutual contact that we may be able to open our hearts and truly understand each other.

Double-line narration and convolutional narration can start from many typical aspects, which makes the information conveyed by the film more complete and rich, but also makes the film focus too much on the development of the plot in the process of narration, making it full of ingenuity, and ignores it. The shaping of character.

I think there are too many lines, so that the production has no energy to take into account all the lines, so that the development is completely under control, which makes some links appear redundant.

    Because of the crash, I finally watched the long-awaited "Crash". This movie that once made "Brokeback Mountain" miss the best picture Oscar, although I personally don't like it as much as "Brokeback Mountain", it is still a work that has won my favor. In addition, the direct translation of the original English title "Crash" into "Crash" does not feel appropriate. After all, "Crash" is only a related plot point of the story, and the plot focuses more on the conflicts between different races.

  • Graham: [on the phone] Mom, I can't talk to you right now, okay? I'm having sex with a white woman.

    [hangs up, and Ria gets out of bed]

    Graham: OK, where were we?

    Ria: I was white, and you were about to jerk off in the shower.

    Graham: Oh, shit. Come on. I would have said you were Mexican, but I don't think it would have pissed her off as much.

    Ria: Why do you keep everybody a certain distance, huh? What, you start to feel something and panic?

    Graham: Come on, Maria. You're just pissed 'cause I answered the phone.

    Ria: That's just where I begin to get pissed. I mean, really, what kind of man speaks to his mother that way, huh?

    Ria: If I was your father, I'd kick your fucking ass.

    Graham: OK, I was raised badly. Why don't you take your clothes off, get back into bed, and teach me a lesson?

    Ria: You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. Neither one of those is Mexico.
