Destructive Creation (2006-07-31)

Yesterday I listened to a lecture given by the famous economist Hu Angang. The title contained a word called "creative destruction". Today I watched a relatively famous movie "Road to Destruction", which made me feel that a man's life is really a destructive creation the process of.

To say that an actor is a great actor is not to say how great his personality is, but to say that acting must be an art in his eyes, and he is confident that he can grasp something that we don't quite understand. Tom Hanks has played a lot of touching roles. For everyone, some may be more representative of his achievements, such as Forrest Gump, but for me, I am willing to take myself as himself to feel his Works, I think in his eyes, every character is good, I mean very meaningful. What he experiences should be an individual's life, and ultimately comes down to the understanding of a complete social person, whether it is successful or bad or miserable or whatever, it doesn't matter at all, maybe it's bland may be more accurate.

This film tells the story of the protagonist who starred in him and his son fleeing and taking revenge, so it happens to take the son's perspective and tell us how narrow it is to judge a person's value from the perspective of family affection, because in this world There is no absolute standard of good and evil. In my opinion, this is the ultimate irony of art for history. Marx said deeply: "There is only one science, and that is history." How touching it sounded before, now it seems I feel that the unnecessaryness of many studies is precisely because we do not have a deep understanding of the world, so I can't help but think of the words of the former president of Harvard University: "The mission of all universities is to inherit the humanistic spirit."

The father was a killer. When the son saw them killing people, someone in the underworld wanted to kill his child. However, the son survived. The killer's wife and another son died tragically. The killer was very powerful and finally killed the killer. people. This also reminds me that there are too many powerful people in this world, but they choose to live a peaceful life rather than show their splendor. When the equilibrium is ruthlessly broken, the free energy of the system will burst out and become irresistible. . It's probably all over, and in fact we all know that killing is going to die, and this familiarity with the drama often prevents fans from fully immersing in the story's brilliance, so they have to appreciate it at a discount - the killer is dead, seeing his son With the gun in his hand, he finally said a few words; "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The son didn't kill, he pulled the trigger, but he didn't want his son to have a gun in his hand and play with fire. , he did not want his son to be a killer.

The end of the son's words is used to put the finishing touches and the finishing touches. At the seaside, the son talks about his experience with his father: "when people ask me if Michael sullivan was a good man or if there was just no good in him at all, and I always give the same answer, I just tell them :'He was my father.'" What else can we say, the protagonist is undoubtedly an ordinary professional and talented person. He has no choice in the big social network, but for his family , he can take his life, what more can we ask of such a person? How can you judge him? We can only comprehend that all men are going to be destroyed. All successes and failures are turbidity of blood and tears. This is why the older the son is, the more he can feel the energy of his father. After the destructive "bad things" you are willing to do, you will helplessly throw away your glory and dreams, and obediently go to destruction, but in the end, the result must be the "birth" of a man, so a good person like me doesn't need to worry. If you do something against your will in your life, after you die, you will definitely be reborn. In this sense, everyone is Jesus, who has risen from the dead.

In addition to the perception of men and the relief of a haze that has been trapped in the brain (the hard work that cannot be achieved by everyone, but must be chosen), in addition, I think of what Mu Nianci said to the dying Yang Kang in the 83 version of the Condor Shooting. That sentence, roughly like this: No matter what you have done, how bad you are, you are really good to me. This sentence often comes up in my mind because I don't know which value is more important to me? How important is family? How important is a lover? I think the answer is in the process. What you choose is what you choose. The key is where you can find your own quiet little room. Everyone is different. From another point of view, I am a timid person. I am afraid of facing choices, so I often cut off my retreat and lose my qualifications to choose. In this way, I have no choice, and I walk steadily and gracefully. For example, I believe I am not a person who finds "communication" at home, so I must do better than "Yang Kang", and it is better not to set up a family. However, this kind of life is incomplete, maybe this is God's punishment for me.

Road to Perdition quotes

  • Maguire: Smile.

  • [last lines]

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: I saw then that my father's only fear was that his son would follow the same road. And that was the last time I ever held a gun. People always thought I grew up on a farm. And I guess, in a way, I did. But I lived a lifetime before that, in those six weeks on the road in the winter of 1931. When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them... he was my father.
