Humans always need some artists to think and express like philosophers

Does art (movie is one of art) entertain the public or expose reality? This in itself is the extreme of the two divisions of art, and it is impossible to reconcile it. However, because ideological discourse is too tenacious, only great artists can touch a little reality. Lu Xun wrote Ah Q, but the real Ah Q would not read Lu Xun’s works. Human beings always need some artists to think and express like philosophers. Real artists are reflecting or criticizing, revealing the human nature of society and expressing their personal opinions. There are always some people who are promoting progress and exploring the future of mankind. I can’t let everyone watch "Huanzhu Gege" and "Pancake Man", let the artists shoot "Huanzhugege" and "Pancake Man".

    9.1/10. ①The popular young comedy director pretends to be a homeless person for serious realism and wants to experience folk life in depth. After various experiences, he feels that this kind of experience is just a touch of water and only intellectual elites need realism, so it is better to do comedy and bring it to the bottom people Warmth and joy, then return to Hollywood. ②The comedy element is not very funny, and it is more suitable to be regarded as a high-level typical melodrama. Although the middle part is looser, the overall handling is very pleasant and moving. Some lines are also sharp.

    "Disease is a lack of health, but poverty is not a lack of wealth. Poverty is a plague virus that is contagious like cholera. Despair is its only symptom. Even for research purposes, it should be kept away." …The butler is given the narrative function of the "Greek Choir" in the film, and directly expresses the main theme of the film for the director. But another solution has clearly appeared in human society: poverty is not the lack of wealth? Maybe that's right. But we can choose to make the rich itself lack! Naturally, Sturges would never advocate such drastic social changes, but he could not provide a solution under the existing system, so he could only directly state the seriousness of the problem to highlight that it was not cognitive dullness or passive avoidance. On the other hand, it uses the insight into the world to persuade you to return to the status quo of minor changes that are more limited than avoiding high points.
