Before I start talking about the movie " Hidden into the Dust ", I have a few points that I need to explain to you. These points are the basis of my interpretation.
First of all, this interpretation is an interpretation that far exceeds the original vision. I will not stop at the simple individual suffering, nor will I stop at the depression and despair embodied in this story, but will go beyond this story to the extreme. in a distant era.
But my interpretation of the times will not stay at a vague level like others. For the problems and pains of the times, I will not naively think that it is only the protagonists or their families, and the villages where they live. The environment represented in the picture is the source of their suffering. Not stupid enough to think that these problems are only our own problems, and then vent out a low-level emotion called "hate". The pain of the
era is far more profound than what is shown on the screen.
But also based on this, my ability may not be able to cover everything, so comrades, while criticizing and criticizing me, please help me to improve the missing parts.
All the interpretations I have read now focus on the specific suffering and warmth of Youtie and Guiying. Even the outrageous male and female perspectives have noticed these, which is commendable. Of course, even if the analysis of these specific individuals fails to explain the vitality, or the level of human essence, it is indeed a pity that Marx is absent.
The only thing that can be analyzed is the dialogue between Dai Jinhua and teacher and the director. Unfortunately, the director does not intend to have a more thorough discussion with Dai Jinhua, so many topics have not been discussed.
When faced with the times, almost all interpreters chose a "unspeakable" but always implied way to interpret it as if they were taboo.
This is a very clever way, because it will appear that the interpreter understands this era, but because of censorship and other reasons, he is forced to "unspeakable" about this era, so whether he has really learned from the era, To understand everything about Tie and Guiying from the perspective of history and materialism, others cannot make clear judgments.
And because "unspeakable" seems to be a trick to the code, the audience is more willing to believe that the interpreter can understand the era, because they are on the code. As for whether the two understand and imagine the same picture, it doesn't matter at all. This interpretation of
is too cheesy and irresponsible. Although it can bring emotional value to people, such an interpretation is sorry for this movie.
So I will reverse, we need to see the specific era, the specific history and its cost, how the specific history affects the era, and then how the specific era falls into the specific individual, And it is expressed as a specific tragedy, and in the tragedy, how the most typical "people" who have their feet on the ground and dig food in the soil burst out a fascinating vitality, and how should such vitality be viewed and treated by the audience? Understanding, what motivates us, and what makes us change our perspective.
Of course, the latter may be attacked as too communist ideology , oh, they probably won't use this word, they may use other words instead, such as blog traffic and provocative class narratives, etc. but that doesn't matter, I know my comrades will understand what I'm saying.
may be very abstract, so let me give you a concrete example. I believe everyone is familiar with the picture
. It is usually used to express that the information we see is not the whole picture, so we must know how to think outside the established framework and thinking when dealing with information.
In fact, this picture is used in this interpretation as well. On the
screen, we see Youtie and Guiying, and the village, as if the people in that village are persecuting Youtie and Guiying, just like on the TV screen in this picture, someone is going to hurt another person with a knife . But in reality, off-screen, the village was just a victim of oppression by another larger system, just as the people in the picture were actually being hunted down. Director
only used a small screen to record the encounter between Youtie and Guiying in the village. If we only look at the small screen, then we will naturally come to the same conclusion as ordinary readers: all Evil people, human nature is evil, vilify farmersSimple and superficial conclusions like the village. And if we expand our field of vision a little bit, we can jump out of the small screen given by the director, and see that the film has actually used various elements to almost express the systemic problems. Is
enough of a field of vision? No, it's far from enough.
These two may just be a pair of poor slaves fighting in the Colosseum. There is a recorder next to them, who used a camera to record their fighting, fighting, and running away.
But other than that, shouldn't we see the Colosseum itself?
Look at the Colosseum, on the high platform, full of gorgeously dressed citizens of Rome.
They may be slave owners, scholars, nobles, they may even just lay bricks, run water pipes, and repair roads, but as long as they are in the Roman system, they can sit on the high platform and watch the battle. Slaves in the Colosseum fought because they were born in Rome, East or West, Rome.
And beyond the Colosseum, there is a magnificent city-state, a noble idea, a universal value, an immortal empire, a federation of empires and their lackeys. In addition to all this,
is carrying all this and marching forward in the long river of history, is a monster that can never satisfy its desires.
Under the control of the Federation and the Empire on the back of the monster, there are not many Colosseums like this, there are about 200, and there are thousands of slaves in the Colosseum.
Are these people willing to be slaves? No, they are nothing more than losers who were defeated by empires in this era, whether by force, by economy, by institutions or by knowledge systems, in short, they were defeated, so they were imprisoned The Colosseum, struggling to survive in a small and framed living space, the profits they fought hard for will be absorbed by those high-ranking Roman citizens, and their desperate struggles will become those people after dinner. Searching for the odd for entertainment, just like this movie can be recognized by world-class awards, they even set up many awards for it.
And over the past few hundred years, very few groups have finally broken the Colosseum.
has Tie and Guiying, and they are part of a group that has a chance to break this slavery. But this does not affect the various problems that arise within this ethnic group due to entering this era under the era, which have been imposed on them, making them a tragedy of the era.
They shouldn't be the price, but in today's era, they have to be the price again. This is not something they can control, and it doesn't mean that they can fight. All this has nothing to do with them fundamentally.
And this kind of irrelevance is wrong, because the reason why we can keep up with the times is that people with iron and noble people have made great contributions to achieve this, so they should not live as in the film .
understands this and understands why only when we can look at the film with such a vision, a slice of history will come to us artistically through the film.
Secondly, most of the interpretation of this film is based on my own understanding, so it is likely to be far from what the director really wants to express.
I don't say anything about the author as long as a work is completed, I can honestly say that I am over-interpreting, even more than over-interpreting. This kind of interpretation is purely personal. It is my personal understanding and thinking, expressed through suitable works.
The techniques of sound and light images or the expression of intentions through pictures have been done by too many people, and I will not expand them too much. But on this basis, I will try one or two, even if it is outrageous. Therefore, friends who want to see what I will say in terms of film techniques probably won't see anything. First, I am really unprofessional, and I don't know much about it, and second, it is really unnecessary. But if you want to see some different perspectives and different levels of thinking, then I believe this interpretation can satisfy you.
understands this, so everyone can clear up a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings by reading my interpretation.
After all, if " makes bullets fly " can be learned, then "Hidden Into the Dust" will start a hidden study by me, which is not too much.
Third, the interpretation this time is indeed very ideological, because of the shock that the film itself brings to me.The attack is what motivates me to practice further along this ideology, rather than just making me feel the suffering of others or see those invisible little people. It's not that the latter is bad. The latter is the precondition for motivation, just as perceptual cognition is the precondition for the unfolding of history. But because I always ask, feel the difficulty, see those invisible people, then what? Do you just sigh, oops, they are so hard, they are so hard, and then point the finger at the other people in the small colosseum cage where they are? Isn't this too flattering, too superficial, too cowardly, and too self-deceiving.
Aren't we supposed to ask what made them like this, let this Colosseum like this, let this history like this, let this era like this, and then think, should we actually do something about it? Even two people like Tie and Guiying, who have not received much education, have no material foundation, and are in such a difficult environment, can use their splendid vitality and fiery human essence on the land. They have nurtured their own hope and future, even if they are finally interrupted by fate, but such vitality, such moving essential power, such a hopeful practice, can we really only watch them unfold? Why can't we be inspired by their lives and develop future-nurturing practices like theirs?
If you can understand this, you can understand why my reading is full of ideology.
Finally, to borrow the words of Mr. Dai Jinhua, to watch this film, we must start from these three dimensions, namely: the age of the film, the age of the film and its release, and the age of the viewers. , the interpretation of the times.
has no such awareness. It is easy for us to make simple analogies and connections between the historical slices shown in the film and the present, and then come to a conclusion that cannot be said to be completely wrong, but must be biased and easily affect our own judgment. . And this conclusion, in fact, in this special period now, is something that some people especially hope everyone to draw, we should be a little more awake.
Well, when this fourth point is finished, let's enter this lengthy "Hidden in the Dust" purely personal interpretation.
