Darwin's Nightmare (Le Cauchemar de Darwin) Director: Hubert Sauper 2003 | 107 minutes | 35 mm | color | sound
Perhaps the great power in the world is nothing but politics, commerce, religion, on the banks of Lake Victoria in the prosperous West Tanzania , government incompetence, commercial plunder, religious evasion, leaving only the suffering of the people.
But I also know that even in the face of this reality, people still have too many different judgments, such as the next item in the post of the Shanghai alley woman: Darwin's nightmare, I don't think it is, but I am very grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to learn about other the opinion of.
Everyone said that similar problems not only occurred between Tanzania and European countries, but also between African countries and China, or between China and Europe and the United States. So broad, nothing new, what's behind it? Where is the source of the pain?
Jiafei said in his speech that the film reflected the issues of "population" and "quality", which was exactly what I wanted. Of course, I don't want to criticize anything, I just try to extend it to give you more and more expanded ideas.
The title of the film is "Darwin's Nightmare", in which "Darwin" is said to be related to some currents of social Darwinism, see: #REDIRECTSocial Darwinism, in the name of Darwin - Critique of Social Darwinism.
The explanation of social Darwinism in China on the wiki happens to be the essence of what we have been instilled since childhood. In fact, isn't socialism an important practice of social Darwinism in the ideological field? Reflecting on social Darwinism, will it be a little bit of a big scandal? Fortunately, as Storm said, this film may not require us to make some substantial changes, because thinking is also an action.
After discussing for a while, everyone gradually became silent, and Storm proposed to talk about the characters or details in the film that he liked.
* The old veteran with a bow at the gate, bluntly: if the previous man is not killed, he will not get a job; the war is good, and it can bring him higher income.
* Elaire, who was later assassinated by an Australian client, had thick lips and ecstatic eyes. She leaned on the fat shoulders of the Russian pilot and sang "Tanzania, Tanzania..."
* In the middle of the film, the "Chief" tells the "law of the jungle" , is the "central idea" of the film?
* The Russian pilot said he gave European children grapes for the New Year and brought weapons to African children, with a sad expression.
* They sat on the ground, surrounded by a pile of Carrefour plastic bags full of food.
* When he cooks fish, he cuts off the head of the fish and washes it. The head of the fish is in the end.
* Street children sniffing plastic bottles, melted packaging boxes, made "drugs", the eager breath.
* Those fish heads and bones crawling with maggots; the blackened food on the rows of wooden shelves; the woman worker blinded by ammonia gas; the woman whose body was destroyed by the virus; the child who made a living on crutches; That white broken plane by the runway...
* Those pink-white fish in the freezer; those well-dressed international conference delegates; the applause when they heard that fish could enter the European Community market; the fish that can wag its tail on the shelf of the factory owner Models...
I ask myself, is "Darwin's nightmare" a globalization nightmare, a business nightmare? Average, good, better, even the best... Is there also a shadow of social Darwinism in our consumption of life? And the pain as a result?
In the early morning this morning, I dreamed that the dean called and asked the tutor to have a meal with us to celebrate, because he misunderstood and thought that the panda discovery was the result of our group. The instructor took the students to the banquet without explanation, and I was embarrassed and sneaked away while everyone was waiting for the rental. When I woke up from a nightmare, I woke up early and ate Yili vitamin bread, drank Hainanese coffee, and Sanyuan milk. These not "noble" products finally calmed me down.
Suddenly he and his friends came to mind. They keep making money, changing houses, changing cars, and even changing wives (lover), just for a "better" life, but is that really good? This is our "evolution" nightmare, but it doesn't seem to be "Fitness", nor "Development", or even "Evolution".
