I didn’t intend to see the simultaneous praise of "Finding Love" (also known as "Sheng Meng Qi Yuan" and "August Lost Love") on the Internet. , Think about it again, although this kind of commercial film and literary film hybrid is a little cute, but there seems to be an abnormal attitude toward love, music, and genius in it.
Laila is an excellent cellist. She met the wandering Irish singer Louis on a moonlight night and spent an unforgettable night (that is, a one-night stand). Later, Laila's domineering father forced her to continue her journey to the concert, and Louise left because she could not wait for her lover to be disappointed. After discovering that her lover had left, Laila waited alone for the birth of the child in her belly. Unexpectedly, a few months later, her father was in a car accident. Her father sent the child to the orphanage and said that the child was dead. More than 10 years later, Auguste, a teenager living in an orphanage, firmly believed that his parents were still in the world, so he embarked on a long journey to find relatives, and finally the family of three met at the concert.
Of course, this is actually a very bad movie. Its basic elements are vulgar materials that can be seen everywhere. The love between the poor boy and the princess, the pregnancy after a one-night stand, the little boy looking for a mother... "To "Roman Holiday", then to Qiongyao route, and then to "Little tadpole looking for a mother" mixed together. The dazzling part of this movie is mainly in the music, classical, rock and black music, and the combination is just right. At the same time, the protagonists are of course all handsome and beautiful. The little child star is particularly eye-catching... and besides, there are what? If you are still a little sober in the intoxicating music, it is not difficult to see that the content is handled unevenly, and the development of the plot threatens the normal logic. What's more, the 11-year-old August's lines are all 30-year-olds. Can speak and understand words (such as "It's like someone is calling me, I write them down to respond to them", "People who put music into my blood" and "If this will bring misfortune", etc. )... It is said that the "New York Post" relentlessly said-"Such a terrible film can be ranked in the top ten at the box office. You may wonder if you are dazzled."
However, we have no dizziness. We can see that many people are indeed amazed by the dazzling performance of this family of three and Auguste’s talents, and they are even more surprised by Auguste’s phrase that is too mature and literary. " Music is everywhere, you just need to listen to it. "It's very useful. Then, you can laugh off the questions that were laid out before the movie: isn't it? What does one-night stand have to do? This will give birth to a musical genius! What's the problem with a family of three scattered around? Anyway, the musical gene complex "melted into his blood" will make them recognize each other! People will always create miracles to solve all difficulties! In fact, the movie worships the infinitely magnified "man's miracle"-an idolized worship.
Music eliminates people’s loneliness and boredom, love eases the loneliness and accidental existence of human beings. As for the emergence of genius, then it must be shocked in people’s lives to make sense-but these "human miracles" after all It is just a part of our lives. It can be experience and wealth, but it is not everything to humans. However, the film tries to emphasize that these "human miracles" are everything to humans in the gentle and beautiful plots! This is the true meaning of human beings! So we see that there is always a big hole in people’s hearts that needs to be filled. However, since there is no hope and trust, they will focus on themselves and put all the miracles from here on the altar. In fact, many of us are Working hard to "establish an idol".
I read Montaigne’s famous collection "I don’t want to build a statue" a long time ago. He said: “I’m not building a statue, placing it on the cross street in the center of the city, in the teaching, or in the square... I don’t want to exaggerate and talk empty words. I just want to narrate and talk.” This is Montaigne’s own rejection of being called idolatry, but in fact it is necessary for others to have an idol confession. What you can’t worship yourself. Today, we will still see people set up idols one by one-not only powerful and great, but also many other things, such as country, honor, and love, music, and the movie in this movie. Geniuses are all "human miracles". And of course, after the establishment of an idol, another kind of worry will become necessary-since such idols of all kinds of "human miracles" are worshipped, then people will lack vigilance about their own transgressions.
