I don't know much about British history, but the story of King Arthur and the Holy Sword is an iconic British story. How was King Arthur born? After reading Baidu Encyclopedia, I feel that it is still a bit rough. But this movie isn't about King Arthur, it's "Hamlet," the nephew's revenge on his uncle. It's just that there is less festering within the nobles, and more fighting with real swords and guns. However, from the qualitative point of view of history, King Arthur is more wise than other monarchs because he grew up at the bottom. If these stories are not legends, then at least King Arthur is a hero who became the king of a country by Nirvana.
Personally, I don't have any good or bad comments on the film itself. The effect of the commercial film, the actor is the villain, and the grand effect is different from the rhythm and editing of other films. It may be because it is too bells and whistles, so there is no thin plot in the end. too contagious. But for the question that the film begins and ends with: Who made Arthur? It is also what the core of this film is trying to express. The answer is: tyrants make heroes! ! At this point, there are overlaps with our Chinese hero concept, and there are also differences. So it can be seen from this that the heroic concept in the West is different from that in the East.
The standard of modern Chinese heroes is relatively low. They may be defined as heroes in an important job, or in the performance of their own work. They are injured and sacrificed accidentally. I personally respect people who love their jobs and work hard, but I don't think that is called a hero. hero. The traditional Chinese concept of heroes is actually different. To a large extent, it has something to do with foreign aggression. Yue Fei, Yang Jiajiang, Yuan Chonghuan... First of all, you must be loyal to be called a hero. But is loyalty the equivalent of a hero? I don't think so either. You ask me what is a hero? For example, a child fell into the water, a teenager saved the child despite his life, but he was sacrificed because of physical exhaustion. A soldier is not the best gunner or the best gunner, but he is willing to be the queen of his comrades, this is a hero! ! ! The core trait of a hero is self-consciousness. Because sacrifice is not a masculine trait, but a man with this sacrificial trait has a huge influence on the people.
But are there any born heroes, like I was born with sacrifice as my duty? Impossible, people are born selfish, there is no such thing as "people are inherently good at the beginning", people are born with no knowledge of good and evil, and according to different people's genes, his temperament and character are also different, if a person does not understand himself What was it before, he couldn't define good and evil at all. Do you have to say that the one who picked up the knife and stabbed another classmate in the dormitory was a villain? You can only say people you hate. But you have never been bullied, so how can you understand the torment of a small movement in that small space? Simple people tend to be impulsive, and cunning people are people who want to control others with their impulses. This world is very strange. Women can be forgiven for doing any excessive things. People who hate Japanese people will become sexually excited when they see beautiful Japanese actresses, but not if they are men. Men seem to bear all the moral responsibilities of society. But in fact, the motherhood at the core of civilization, the sacrifice it represents, originates from women. Of course, what I said is not accurate. It should be active sacrifice that is the core of civilization. And male heroism is mostly forced to make a choice after the situation. That is, the basic "hero view" of this film, tyrants create heroes, and tyrants give people the motivation to become heroes. An analogy to China is that "where there is oppression, there will be resistance." However, China does not regard rebels as heroes.
Therefore, this view of heroes may be purer than the Chinese view of heroes. The first person to eat crabs is not a hero. In order not to starve to death, the first person to try crabs is a hero. If you just want to eat and be the first person, it has nothing to do with heroes, right? So Chinese heroism has become a little practical. Isn't it all scholars who hold doctorate degrees? With a name, is he a hero? Special respect for heroes is that you essentially look down on the kindness of ordinary people, because you think the kindness of ordinary people is worthless, so you are like a hero. Compared with this utilitarian "hero view", I prefer this kind of brutality, oppressing me, resisting you, defeating you, is the real hero, sitting in the background waiting for the "hero title" to fall on your head to satisfy you desire for power? This heroic view will only lower China's moral standards.
Someone asked, what moral standards, excuses, I don't need to be taught by others to be a hero! ! Very strong, but have you thought about whether this declaration without you is also the result of social education? Without this kind of environment or the influence of public opinion, would you have this kind of thinking? You haven't recognized yourself yet.
