Dual Class Theory in Ukiyo-e

The classic series "Mission Impossible" is back. Tom, as always, showed the superhuman character of a tech spy. Catching airplanes, climbing high buildings, jumping cars, running parkour, Tom is always full of steel attributes of the God of Ages. Looking at Tom's increasingly hard face, he can't help but think of "Eyes Wide Shut", an art film starring him and his ex-wife, Stanley Kubrick's finale. 1. Tomoe's prosperous face Tomoe plays Bill, a New York doctor who graduated from Harvard, and has a lovely little daughter with his wife Alice. Bill owns a big house, a decent job, and takes his wife to his employer's lavish banquets in fancy dresses, and he considers himself to be living in New York's upper class. However, when he learned that his wife Alice was cheating, he had nowhere to vent his anger and wanted to go to a prostitute, but found that his gentleman's face could not deal with a prostitute. So, he accepted Faxiao's suggestion, rented props evening gowns and masks, and attended mysterious parties in the suburbs of New York. Like a child, he entered a place of sexual intercourse that resembled a religious ceremony alone. The men and women in masks wriggled naked on the sofa like animals, and he really opened his eyes. He found that his employer was in it, and the prostitute he had rescued was also in it, but he didn't realize that he had gone deep into the tiger's den. When he was brought out to face the judgment of the people, he realized that he had entered a place of right and wrong. He originally thought that he graduated from a prestigious school, had a high income, and lived in the mainstay of society, but he didn't know that he was just working for more upper-class people, and he was just the vast majority of middle-class civilians in this society. Above him, there is a political and economic family that dominates this society. A grateful prostitute rescued him, and he fled back to the city, only to find that he was being followed, that the prostitute died suddenly, and that he lost contact with him. He panicked to find his employer, who warned her that it was just a game, a high society game he shouldn't be in. He came home exhausted, looked at his wife on the bed, and was shocked to find a mask threatened on the pillow. He was completely out of control, holding his wife and crying about his fragile night. On Christmas Eve, he took his wife and daughter to the shopping mall and experienced a thrilling night like a dream bubble. He and his wife both understood that the world is very complicated. They are just little ants among all living beings. Holding a group for warmth, and the blank space in the film, all audiences believe that it will be a hearty sex. That year, Tom was so handsome that he was fresh and tender. Even as a Hollywood cash cow, he was only a leader in the middle class. Today, Tom, like the upper class in the film, has long been disdainful of participating in glamorous media events such as the Oscars, and has turned to a mysterious and huge religious organization. Maybe, there are more invisible hands on everyone's head, Tommy also wants to become a giant behind the scenes with hidden merit and fame. 2. Old Man Ku's audio-visual language art "Eyes Wide Shut" is Stanley Kubrick's last work. Before the movie was released, Old Man Ku passed away in a hurry. There are unreliable rumors that the old man Ku's film exposed a mysterious upper-level organization, which led to an accident. Regardless of whether or not the film alludes to the divine association that everyone talks about, Old Man Ku's audio-visual language can be regarded as a model of film masters. Many critics thought Eyes Wide Shut was talking about sex, or the seven-year itch of marriage. At the beginning of the film, a book titled "Introduction to Sociology" tells you that old man Ku is not trying to talk about the cricket-like sexual relationship between men and women, but the entire society, the society of the entire human group. Each carefully arranged scene is so similar, the employer's banquet, the clothing store that rents props, the suburban villa of the mysterious organization, the shopping mall on Christmas Eve, the same scene, the same pull-up, the same color tone, and even the The tiger dolls and blue carts that appear in the same way are all telling you in the same way that everything in this world is the same. Some look magnificent, while others look well-dressed. After taking off their clothes, everyone is just a consumer and a consumer product, but some people are above and some people are below. The piano dubbing of the same melody, from bass to treble, from depression to collapse, is so gloomy as a religious divine comedy, which was played when Bill was in danger five times, and even the audience was horrified when they heard it. Red and blue fill the entire movie screen, the marriage is bright red, the society is bottomless blue, if you want to talk about the color language of the movie, that Zhang Yimou can only rank second. Old Man Ku is neither chasing the box office nor obsessed with Oscar selections. He does not rely on dialogue but real video art to promote movies. Every frame is a classic textbook for all film schools. 3. The Dual Class in Ukiyo-e A veteran film critic guides us in watching Eyes Wide Shut, and the film opens -- Bill asks, "Sweetheart, did you see my wallet?" Wife AliCe asks, "I do Does it look good?" A man's wallet, a woman's good-looking, a consumer, an exhibitor, role-playing from start to finish. In the social class of mankind, everything is simply consuming and being consumed. When Bill went to the prop store to return the dress and mask, the store owner put his arms around his naked daughter and said, "If you want to buy anything else I've got it here", he was implying that her daughter was also a commodity and could also be sold go. Even Bill's daughter, with the doll in her hand, her hair combed, and the blue cart pushed, the scene and stretching of her shot are the same as those of a prostitute. His wife Alice taught her daughter arithmetic, which one does her daughter count? The boy is the richest in the family. Old man Ku's carefully arranged relationship between men and women is terrifying. He is never stingy and brings his views to the extreme. Bill's white shirt and black suit looks strikingly similar to the same black and white maid in the head-up camera. You can easily guess the intention of the old man. This doctor who thinks he is superior is actually the same as the maid, but a servant of the bourgeoisie. By. In the eyes of Bill's employer, everyone is just a prostitute. As long as he has money, he and his class are the biggest clients in the world. Someone once said that the audience is a whore and a movie is just a prostitute. Everyone wants to enjoy the pleasure, so the film industry is thriving. Old Man Naku's last prank "Eyes Wide Shut" gave the audience the ultimate anti-trap.
