Commercial film holding a human sign

I'd rather watch a documentary a hundred times than watch a commercial film with a sign of humanity.
Everyone was telling me, did you see it, I cried, and the whole audience burst into tears. Reports about the film have always been closely linked to tears.
I don't like crying for the sake of crying, touches that are too purposeful.

Director Feng said: I love the softest of human nature. Therefore, it is natural to use grand scenes, materials and technologies to accumulate. Or maybe he hopes to use a commercial form to record a disaster, to record the people and emotions in that disaster, but he ignores the softness of human nature and the untouchable fragility.

After the Wenchuan earthquake, a friend who came back from Sichuan told me: The best way to heal the pain is to wait for the scab to heal. Those reporters going to interview every three days will only make the recovery of these children slower.

Director Feng was indignant at the remarks of a reporter's second injury, calling it inhumane. All I can say is that you don't understand her heart. Of course, I really don't understand Feng Dao's heart.

Some people say that the earthquake brought Feng Dao closer to the master. I can only say that Feng Dao is farther from being worthy of respect.

In fact, I thought about it later, the beginning of the incident was "the government decided to make a film to commemorate the Tangshan Earthquake", even if there was no Director Feng, or there was Director Zhang and Director Chen. It's just that I am blunt to make such a decision, and I really can't think of the meaning. History speaks for itself, and the pain will only remain in the mind of the injured person. Showing wounds, tearing open wounds, is cruel.

In addition, most people will forget it after they have seen it and cried.

Xu Zhiyuan said: People are always standing on the blood and corpses and singing, no one will remember what happened.
I remember a sentence my teacher said: In this era, people just record, never remember.
