A story of a powerless peasant killed by "stubborn" principles!

More than an hour ago, I talked about a peasant who lived a happy life with food, drink, a house, a wife and children. Later, when the Nazis came to power, he felt very uncomfortable. He thought that as a peasant, he had his own cognitive ability, and he could distinguish between Wrong, he resisted the mayor's fight with the villagers and refused to join the army (procrastination). He relied on his father as a martyr and completely ignored the state power. In the end, he was forced to join the army! Because he looked down on the Führer, in order not to make a gesture (➕hi Hitler), he went to jail... The officer (I don't know if it was an officer or a priest or a lawyer) has a very reasonable saying "What good is your resistance to anyone? That What is it? Pride? Superior? You are the smartest?" This is the individual will against the collective will. Gradually, his decision made the family pay the price. No one dared to speak up even when the vegetables were stolen in the fields, and no one was willing to help with the farm work at home! It is fully demonstrated that, apart from the collective, the individual is nothing! The next hour or so mainly revolved around how this "stubborn" peasant was abused. Even so, he still adhered to his principles, and even if he died, he was unwilling to "swear allegiance" to Hitler... In the end... he died!

I want to say that his death includes the following:

1. If you don't know how to surrender, a man can bend and stretch, and Han Xin's humiliation will eventually become the Marshal of the world! Goujian is willing to pay for his hard work, three thousand Vietnamese armors can swallow Wu! The fist is retracted and then punched out in order to hit further.

2. Do not understand politics, in fact, politics is struggle, standing in line, a game of power, a peasant is just a pawn, delusional to use his own will against the collective will!

3. Do not understand the law, the so-called compulsory military service system, the obligation to be a soldier is the same as paying taxes, there is no personal willingness.

4. If you don't know love, what is love? The top can take care of the old mother, and the bottom can support the wife and children! This farmer is good, I don't want anything, I want to find "truth"!

5. If you don’t understand philosophy, the peasants are the class that is ultimately exploited. If you don’t unite with your own class, you have to fight against the class. If you don’t die, who will die?

6. Don't know history, there are many poor people in history, the new regime comes to power not to mention that you should join the army, even if you take your house, kill your child, and rape your wife, you can't fight against it. If you haven't reached that step, then find a way not to go to that step! If the film was more cruel, the neurotic in the forest raped and killed the farmer's wife, what could he do? Still stick to his "principles"?

7. I don't know how to be a person, offend the mayor, fight with the villagers, and the result is that you are gone, no one helps you with the farm work, and the child's wife is bullied.

8. Don't know the pattern, this is the most important point, how long can you resist? How long can the war last? Even if it is not from the perspective of God, you can make a ten-year five-year plan for yourself! Have a plan, have arrangements, keep evidence, and wait for the critical moment to attack... After the end of World War II, the anti-Führer was very popular!

9. You don’t know how to understand others. The reason why the head of state can come to power is because he has taken care of milk and bread for many people. You have food and drink, a big house, a sweet wife, and a family full of children and grandchildren! Of course you can go after "truth". You must understand that after a few people died of starvation without food or drink, the head of state changed everything.

10. If you don't understand the trend, you can quote Cannon's sentence "The world is in a mighty state, and those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish." Of course, it is not easy to understand the trend.

In the end... this... man, rather than being killed by "stubborn" principles, it is better to say that he died of "small peasant consciousness" and died of "ignorance"!

    Not the Malik that a Malik fan had been expecting.

  • Darius 2022-03-20 09:02:35

    What Malik did is: use English to oppose German, use agriculture and villages to oppose military industry and towns, use Heidegger to oppose the misunderstood Nietzsche in the later period, and use looking around-worked daily to oppose all symbolic social identities; Why do these elements that seem to be in line with his usual creative ideas make the film fall into a single exhausting emotion? The key is that the goal of "using secrets against whiteness" has never been truly achieved. The characters no longer settle in unknown encounters, They retreat before leaving home; the natural gods no longer stand in the strange scenery, and they are called by their names without appearing. Since the poetic sayings have been replaced by the rigid preaching, the indoctrinating divine enlightenment There are no scenes hidden underneath, and the work has not been able to open a world-because it has never put the world back in a lock. A film about "secret" itself is exposed to broad daylight, but the dark truth is Expressing the dramatic coercion of the chest, words lose the power of naming: the protagonist sends out an incomprehensible question to the heavens, the earth and the gods, but we know that the reason for the lack of answers is to ask the wrong question.
