People - puppets of power

Two brushes. The first time I watched it, I used a famous saying: "I don't understand it, but I was shocked!" This time the second brush was mainly due to the fact that King Lear had been recruited by Amway before. I heard that this mess was a tribute to Shakespeare. The story of Shakespeare is told in the form of a movie. The language of the power version is smooth, the characters are relatively three-dimensional and rich, not as rigid as the drama, and the background of the story is set in the Warring States Period of Japan, which is relatively familiar.

The film tells the story of a fictional literati from prosperity to demise. Yiwen Xiuhu is over 70 years old. He has fought in the Quartet all his life and built a powerful country. The external enemies are now his allies. He feels very happy, so one day he suddenly announced that he was going to retire and his country It was divided into three sons, and the arrow was broken even after learning Maori Yuan, hoping that the three brothers would work together. As a result, Saburo felt that his father should not abdicate, and he broke the arrow with his knee on the spot. He believed that today's world is not peaceful, and his father still has the responsibility to continue to lead everyone. Losing his father as the backbone, it is impossible for everyone to unite as one. The father was furious, how could there be such an ignorant son, who dared to refute the father and king, and dared to say that the brothers would also be detached and attack each other, so Saburo was expelled in a rage. The retired Xiuhu soon felt the coldness of the world and lost his power. His son's former respect and love disappeared. He was rejected by his two sons one after another, and he almost died in the siege of the two sons, and he went completely crazy. The third son who was exiled led the army to rescue his father after learning what happened to him, and finally saved his father, but was killed by the cold arrow of the second brother. The grief changed and he passed away soon after. And the eldest son and the second son also fought with each other, and the "allies" of the neighboring countries took advantage of the fisherman.

The time of power change in ancient and modern China and foreign countries is the most dangerous time for this political system, and there will be turmoil again in the lesser society. Emperor Liang Wu, the most civilized emperor in the Southern Dynasty, was trapped in Taicheng in his 80s, and those good sons were watching near Jinling. Everyone who really cared about his father, Xiao Yan died of starvation and thirst in the end, which is embarrassing; In the country, the average country is only ten years old, and most of the emperors died of their own sons...

Power is the source of glory and wealth, and those in power are reluctant to hand it over, because they are worried that they will be overridden and lose their glory and wealth after they hand over power. But one day I will be too old to control the power, and I have to hand over the power to whom? Most people think of the people closest to them: father and son, husband and wife, brothers and sisters. However, the twenty-four history tells us that the relatives of princes and generals may be the most common and most difficult enemies to guard against. They are the ones who prevent themselves from gaining supreme power. stumbling block. Virtues are applicable in a small range. Once the number of people expands and the differences between people (such as wealth and class) expand, people of all types and classes are protecting their own interests, and they are bound together with their rights to form a society. Collective, virtue can no longer control human beings, and human beings are also alienated into a new kind of biological "man under rights".

Disillusionment, impermanence, whether Shakespeare or Akira Kurosawa felt that the world is absurd. It is easy for people to get lost in the field of power, because rights control people, not people control rights. You have worked so hard all your life, what is the result of the struggle? The white land is so clean.

Humans may have genes for self-destruction. People always say that wealth is only for three generations. Although there are some top clansmen, such as Qinghe Cui, Taiyuan Wang, Chenjun Xie, etc., their lifespan is relatively long. Internal struggles and external forces intervene, such as Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan and others reused the poor family to fight against the high gate, not to mention the cosmic general Hou Jing who single-handedly cut all the entanglements of the family, and finally "the old Wang Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. ". The powerful one-literate writer in the movie was instantly wiped out, his family property was occupied by two neighboring countries, and the leaders of the two neighboring countries were old, and their sons would inevitably not repeat the same mistakes.

    What I watched on CCTV6 was probably the first master film I consciously watched seriously ///20181215 Archives Restoration on the big screen. Too great, the emperor is too great, Zhang Yimou's formal aesthetics are all left over from the emperor's play. Tatsuya Nakadai has also repeatedly reached the peak of his acting career. It is an expression from the perspective of God. Human beings are stupid and sad, but they don't know it. If they lose their kindness and sincerity, all self-righteous efforts in life are like a joke. Want to know the location, so many vast and vast vistas are really not like in Japan

    I am really impressed. I like the colors in the movie so much. Black, red, blue, and yellow are rich and vigorous. It reminds me of the texture of Lu Xun’s novels. If "Sword Casting" is directed by Akira Kurosawa, then it will be suitable. Nevertheless. Father Wang Xiu stood in the shape of a tiger, standing in the middle of the wasteland. This actor is also suitable to play Qu Yuan, and he feels that he has both form and spirit.
