At present, the influence of the movie " Hidden into the Dust " has become the focus of public debate. The applause is overwhelming and overwhelming, and although the voice of criticism is in a corner, it is not endless. The artistry of the film "Hidden in the Dust" has its own unique features, which will not be repeated here. Online critics are basically based on the deviation of the movie plot from social reality.
The benevolent sees the mountain, and the wise sees. For me, who is concerned about Chinese cultural traditions and dissemination, I would like to take the "flying arrows" of the world and analyze the problems existing in the film "Hidden in the Dust" from the core values and dissemination of Chinese traditional culture .
From the general classification of movies, "Hidden in the Dust" can be classified into the category of romantic movies. The plot of the movie is very clear: two unfortunate people, You Tie and Gui Ying, one dull and the other suffering from chronic diseases, were "expelled" from their original families. The highest state of love and affection, deduces a tear-jerking sad life where love is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper.
The two most ordinary, even "low-energy" people under the background of the great northwest desert were not only exiled by their "family", but also exiled to the "edge of the world" by the rural world where they were born and raised in Sri Lanka. . In the gray eyes of relatives and neighbors, they are as small as dust, and there are almost no people who care about them. However, even with the thatched rafters and lofts and the tile stove and the rope bed, the two are very real and cordial. The couple plus a donkey , this is the main living thing throughout the movie. The theme of the film evolved into extreme sadness: the heroine fell into the water and died in the public eye, and the hero committed suicide by taking poison. (The open-ended ending of "Hidden Into the Dust" further arouses the audience's suspense.)
I am not a film critic, and I usually pay more attention to various cultures in the world. I am willing to interpret the underlying logic of this film from a cultural perspective The alienation of the Chinese nation and culture that exists in China! Everything needs to be reasonable. Why do I have such judgments and determinations?
Generally speaking, tragic film and television works can be roughly divided into two categories:
1, soap operas: works to win the attention of the audience, and even the unfortunate plot setting of tears is often set: the hero and heroine come together through hard work, The happy life just took a turn for the worse, but either the man was in a vegetative state because of a car accident, or the woman had cancer and was about to die. This also corresponds to the old saying: Heaven has unpredictable situation, people have bad luck. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the four sufferings of life, everyone is unavoidable. Eat whole grains, how can you not get sick. This is a common bridge in Korean TV dramas. This kind of work is generally called "commercial film", and when it goes on the market, it is submerged in the chaotic space of the world when it is removed from the shelves.
2, social drama: the work profoundly reflects the social relations, political forces, economic relations, customs and traditions of the times. The root of the tragedy of life comes from the unjust social system, the backward moral concept and the feudal backward thought. For example, a series of works by comedy master Chaplin that express the tragic life of little people, the movie "Camel Xiangzi" changed from the novel " Camel Xiangzi " by Lao She , " Romeo and Juliet " by Shakespeare , etc. Wait. These are the timeless styles of handed down classics.
Where is the focal point of the tragic fate of the hero and heroine set in the sad movie "Hidden in the Dust"? It seems that there are both accidental plots: Guiying accidentally fell into the water and died; there are also plots of social system and social and economic relations: buying and selling grain, low grain prices hurting farmers, and the implementation of the rural subsistence allowance system is not satisfactory.
However, what is conveyed to us through the details of the film is: home and kinship distorted and absent!
shows the plot from the movie. Before marriage, Ma Youtie and Guiying both had "homes": His parents and elder brother Ma Youjin, the second elder brother Ma Youyin have all passed away, and the third elder brother Ma Youtong has passed away. Marrying a wife and having children, Ma Laosi is an older bachelor. Guiying also has an older brother who is married. In the movie, the lives of the two brothers do not seem to be miserable, and the wealth they have is also the social average.
Before Ma Youtie and Guiying got married, they were members of a traditional Chinese family. It was the indifference and even abuse of their relatives that led to their respective misfortunes before marriage; after marriage, Ma Youtie and Guiying depended on each other for life. built his own house,Opened up arable land, and an old donkey, and life slowly improved. It's just because of the indifference of the society and the ruthlessness of the villagers, who is indifferent to Guiying, who has lost water. Gui Ying's accidental death led to the collapse of Lao Ma's spiritual world, so that he ended his own life ahead of schedule. Movie is over! What are the problems with the theme and setting of the
movie? Let's zoom in to analyze.
Regarding world civilization and the future of human beings, I often think about two questions:
The first one is hundreds of thousands of years ago, how did humans break away from apes and become "humans"? Why have other "human races" that have become "humans" millions of years earlier than Homo sapiens (the common ancestor of humans on the earth today), why have they all become extinct? Is it all due to natural reasons? In particular, the European " Neanderthal " who were contemporaries with Homo sapiens, the " Flores " in Southeast Asia, and the " Dragon Man ", "Jinniushan Man", " Dragon Man ", "Jinniushan Man", " Man " living in China. What was the cause of the extinction of the Dali people ""?
The second one is that aliens are coming. The messenger similar to the singer in " three-body " came to the earth and told the people of the earth: give you three years, you will form a unified civilization value, proving that you have a civilization worth interacting with body, your clan deserves to exist. Otherwise, the earth will inevitably suffer the dimensionality reduction blow of two-way foil . Then, what about the three cultures of European and American culture, Islamic civilization, and Chinese civilization, which can absorb the other two branches and become the "civilization" that represents the people of the earth? Why can Chinese civilization? The two questions of
involve too wide a field of knowledge and require a long and tedious argument. Today is just a film review, and I can directly say the conclusion I have considered:
1, the transformation from ape to man is due to the genetic mutation of ape. During the genetic mutation, "mirror" neurons are created. "Apes" with "mirror" neurons formed the emergence of "humans"! The most powerful and fundamental force for the development and improvement of human beings and human society comes from the evolution based on "mirror" neurons. The "mirror neurons" and other "humans" that did not develop with the gradual progress of human beings have gradually moved towards "extinction".
As for " A Brief History of Humanity : From Animals to God" Yuval Harari 's so-called powerful evolutionary power due to the ability of human beings to "gossip" is simply a joke and fooling the world.
mirror neurons were first discovered at the end of the 20th century by , University of Parma, Italy, . This discovery proves that there is a special neuron in the monkey brain, which can recognize the potential meaning of the observed object's action and behavior through internal imitation like looking in a mirror. and respond accordingly. Once the discovery was announced, it immediately aroused great repercussions in the scientific community all over the world. Researchers call such a neuron with special abilities a "brain mirror".
Because of the existence of mirror neurons, human beings can learn new knowledge and communicate with people, because human cognitive ability and imitation ability are based on the function of mirror neurons. The mirror neurons existing in the human brain have the characteristics of visual thinking and intuitive nature. They are of great significance for understanding the origin of human thinking ability and understanding the evolution of human culture. Physiologically, "a single tree cannot make a forest". "Physiological" behavior in human evolution, only in the civilization system based on the family ethics system and social relations of "Chinese civilization", "mirror neurons" can better realize the role of individual "physiological", produce Powerful utility to promote human development and evolution.
" The Book of Rites·University " says: "In ancient times, those who wished to demonstrate virtue in the world must first govern their country; those who wish to govern their country, first align their families; those who wish to regulate their families, first cultivate their bodies; … After self-cultivation, the family will be organized, the family will be organized and then the state will be governed, and the state will be governed by the world after the peace."
Why is it possible to "regulate the family" by "cultivating one's own body"? Why is it possible to "govern the country" by "keeping the family together"? Why "government of the country" can "pacify the world"? We can find many reasons from Chinese culture, but the fundamental and physiological reason is the existence of "mirror neurons". Through oneself, one can know the joys, sorrows, joys, love, hatred and hatred of others, so as to know people, colleagues, and even people.
In terms of the relationship between Chinese civilization and the common values of mankind, Chinese civilizationIt is the deep theoretical support for the common value of mankind: "Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself" is the foundation of justice; The foundation of democracy, "conquering people with virtue, and kingly politics" is the foundation of peace, and "the world is for the public" is the foundation of justice.
From this, we can also draw a conclusion: the smallest carrier of Chinese culture is the "family" with blood ties, and the physiological individual has no meaning and value to exist alone, only the individual has the ability to "continue to learn from the past and continue to learn for the past." The aspiration of "Prosperity for all ages", who bear the happiness of the ancestors and the happiness of Houkun, are the "Three Immortals" Chinese! Every Chinese is "three lives and three lives", and even "eternal life"! The social relationship that we expand the family relationship with blood relationship is also a "fake" of blood relationship: the teacher and the apprentice are father and son, and the four seas (friends) are brothers!
We can also prove it through another special phenomenon in my country:
Although our country has also entered an era of multiple values, in terms of personal morality, "smart", "diligent", "honest", "generous", etc. The "common divisor" that cannot achieve the greatest degree of recognition. "Smart" people are not allowed to be friends, because they are very likely to be "cunning" and "honest" people may be called "useless". The only virtue of
, even in the current Chinese people, no one can deny its supreme value is " filial piety" ! The saying that is often in the mouths of every Chinese is: A person who is not good to the parents who raised him cannot be regarded as a "person", let alone a friend, or placed in an important position in a unit or company. of.
and the carrier of "filial piety" is undoubtedly the existence of the family. "Family" is the connector and hub between "individual" and "society (country, world)". Some people say that the Chinese have no faith, which is undoubtedly extreme prejudice and ignorance. Every Spring Festival, the flow of the largest people on earth is the Chinese people's belief in the soul value of "home" and the embodiment of "filial piety" to parents and elders. Even if the parents are gone, death is the same as life, as long as you can go to the tomb to worship, you can also achieve spiritual and spiritual comfort like "religious" belief. The three major religions in the world have completely different attitudes towards "filial piety": Christianity, which evolved from Judaism and Judaism, and the social ethics and values of Islam, are not only without "filial piety". On the contrary, the three religions try their best to obliterate the value and behavior of "filial piety".
"Bible Matthew's Gospel " records: he ( Jesus) turned around and said to them: people come to me here come , if is not love my parents love me , wife, children, brothers, sisters, and their own lives, can't be my disciple .
Jesus said, whoever comes by my side, if he doesn't hate his parents, he doesn't hate his brothers and sisters, he's not my disciple. Jesus also said, abandon your homeland, abandon your land, come with me, we are God's chosen people, drag the individuals out of the family and into the group, this group is called the church.
For people in Western culture: Anyone born with a father by blood, with a home of his own, then quickly baptized with a second father, called the godfather; then father and son together in In a church, they call each other members . They have no spiritual "home", nor the ethical and spiritual value of "filial piety".
Back to the movie "Hidden in the Dust", the movie "Hidden in the Dust" is the work of the post-80s director Li Ruijun . In this film, only the heroine Haiqing is a professional actor. It is unimaginable that he plays the male lead. Ma Youtie's actor Wu Renlin is the director's uncle; the actor who plays Ma Laosi's sister-in-law is the director's uncleThe aunt who plays (Wu Renlin's wife); the actor who plays Ma Youtie's nephew is the director's cousin (Wu Renlin's son).
The actor who played the oldest old lady in the bridge chat is Wu Renlin's mother; the director's father, mother, and uncle all participated in the film's roles. Wu Renlin's daughter is studying artistic makeup and modeling. Haiqing and some other actors in the film's costumes, makeup, and modeling are all from her hands. In addition to playing tricks, Wu Renlin's son also works as a photographer in the film. The group actors that appear in the film are basically local farmers.
According to director Li Ruijun: The large number of roles that his family plays in movies is not because the director is cronyism, but because of lack of funds, he cannot afford to hire professional actors. In order to save money, he has to ask his family to help out. We can of course assume that there is no appearance fee for his relatives. Not only did they have no appearance fee, but they also had to pay heavy labor: for the sake of truth, built the earthen house in the film with their own hands, brick by brick. There is a common saying in rural areas: "Four tirings": building a big house, digging a big dung, mixing a big mud, and blowing a trumpet. They occupied two: building a big house, and a big mud. However, the movie "Hidden in the Dust" won social recognition and people's love, and it was also in exchange for the director's family to sacrifice and pay silently behind the camera.
Let's ask Li Ruijun, director of , without the selfless support of family , would the movie "Hidden in the Dust" come out? Of course, Li Ruijun can continue financing with the script, but when the capital is only enough, can he find a better actor than Wu Renlin, the uncle Wu Renlin, who plays the male lead Ma Youtie?
has covered so much, just to reveal and explain the problems of the movie "Hidden in the Dust": the plot of " Into the Dust", the origin of the tragic life of Ma Youtie and Gui Ying is set as from "family". We try our best to think that in the plot of the movie, when Ma Youtie and Guiying appear, their parents are dead, which is an attempt to justify the lack of family care. However, among the five relationships in traditional Chinese culture, there are still brothers who are close relatives.
In Chinese cultural tradition, there is an ethical relationship of "eldest brother is like a father". The harmony and integrity of family members and mutual support are the foundation of the Chinese nation's endless growth and prosperity.
However, in the movie "Hidden in the Dust", the protagonists Ma Youtie and Gui Ying "hidden" into the world, but they also dilute the "home", the core of traditional Chinese values, into a wisp of blue smoke, disappearing into the void of the current sky. between. Although
may be "flaws do not hide the good", however, "Hidden in the Dust" has brought infinite regrets despite its great success and social attention. The protagonists Ma Youtie and Guiying "hidden" into the world. The people are gone, and the living still need to continue to live well. So what do they use to build a social foothold? What to use to restore a tired body? What can I do to comfort a wounded soul? What to use to build a spiritual home?
——Don't forget, at any time and in any situation, the source of our life and the destination of our soul - "home"!
