I have an acquaintance who told me a story to an honest person. He said that a child from a relative's family was honest. The adult praised him for being honest, and the child was very angry. He said, "Who said I'm honest? I'm not honest! "A
word of this world is exhausted.
Rousseau wrote in "Emile", "Everything that comes from the Creator is good, but when it reaches the hands of man, it becomes all bad." The same goes for man, a man who has grown up out of the social environment, A simple gardener who has never been out of the house in his entire life and a lawyer can get him out of the house with a word, he finally became the hope of a society and the darling of the fashion society. This can not be said to be ironic, but it is not ironic. It doesn't make sense. Things are precious. If there are lies and deceit all around, then a little sincerity that happens by accident is of course a rare treasure.
Such sincerity has rewritten the rules of the social game, making lies and deceptions look like rubbish. In a society that advocates so-called tactics and lacks integrity, it is a sincere person who wins in the end, a person who has broken away from low-level tastes, and a person who does not fly and fight, if such a person can survive.
Another thing that makes this gardener unique is his language. He is straightforward and doesn't go around with you. There are so many idiots and jargons these days. I have a theory that 90% of people don’t know what they’re talking about or what they’re doing. They live like a piece of dead wood floating in the running water. In the film, the president tried to find the intelligence personnel around him to understand the origin of the gardener. The FBI said that the file had been destroyed. The guys say they don’t know.” This might not be a realistic portrayal of these two departments. If they knew what they were doing, what they were talking about, where were they on 9/11? Therefore, both the president and the tycoon fell in love with this direct person and even had to entrust him with important tasks. People sometimes speak for self-protection. For example, some people say that they don’t watch TV to show that they are different from others. The gardener said that he watched TV instead of reading or reading newspapers. On the contrary, the host of the TV station was shocked. The eyes are still big. For a while, this honest and direct gardener set off a storm. In his contrast, everyone found that the lawyer was just a villain who had an affair with his colleagues, the doctor next to the tycoon was a conspirator and a spy, the president was just a puppet in the hands of a group of powerful people, and the media was simply a group of nonsense people in the cloud. .
This is all irony, but this is not a pungent irony but a spicy irony. Speaking of irony, we must say "spicy". It seems that this is the standard for evaluating the quality of irony. But the height of the film is ironic but not spicy. Not spicy does not mean it is not addictive. It's like eating chili by myself. It's a bit spicy and it's very enjoyable and appetizing, but recently I bought a bottle of pickled chili peppers, and I caught my tongue on fire, and my stomach was cramped. It's so spicy and unnecessary, because it's so spicy that you can't eat anymore, you can only drink water and eat ice cubes.
Satire is the same thing, you can't satirize this society like hell, as if you can be detached by a satire. You still have to live in it, so you have to be a little bit constructive with irony. Grab a stick in one hand and a carrot in one hand. Grab both hands, and both hands should be hard. Otherwise, the bull broke into the porcelain shop and only destroyed it. Is there any value? The film is well-measured, and it does not ridicule the tycoon for nothing. The tycoon also believes in kindness and innocence, and has the side of upholding justice. Are all the rich and unkind? Not at all. We must also encourage those who are benevolent for the sake of wealth. This social atmosphere is in the hands of each of you and me.
The president, a politician, is not evil to the end. He also has his lovely side. For example, he is very persistent in finding the background of this gardener, so that when he goes to bed, when his wife asks for something, he actually "cannot do it". The lady in the film is lonely and boring, but she is also cute and kind. Every dark cloud has a silver edge, so the film is funny and ironic, but it doesn't have that dark and destructive hostility.
Afterwards, the gardener is gone, what will the next world be like? The movie didn't explain, maybe everything will be business as usual, maybe everything will be over again.
The final picture is quite moral. The gardener is walking on the water, which implies that in a distorted era, only the sincere can save everything. What kind of people will walk on the water? Savior Jesus. Audiences who know a little bit about this point understand that the disciples of Jesus Christ took a boat on the sea and saw Jesus walking on the water. Peter saw him and had to go. Jesus called him over, and Peter really started walking, but Suddenly a storm came, and Peter became frightened. With this fear, people immediately sank. This gardener, a simple man, walks on the water, steadily, because he is not "you little believer!" that Jesus scolded, why are we not like this? Everyone usually shouts to believe in sincerity, and when they encounter setbacks, they immediately become cynics, and even slip to the opposite side.
The era of our little letter!
