Because of the epidemic situation, going abroad has become extremely troublesome, and it is difficult to rest after a day of going round and round, and I feel like a dog, so I just watched a movie, "Kill a Mockingbird". The film was taken in 1962 and is based on a 60-year novel by female writer Happer Lee.
The film has two main lines, one is Boo, a gentle and good man who has been misunderstood for a long time, and the other is Robinson, a black man who has been falsely accused of killing. In terms of narration, the latter is on the bright side and the former is on the dark side, but the performance is equally wonderful.
There is no slogan-like lines, no aggressive or even deceptive arrogance that politics overrides art. The whole work is rapid and appropriate, ups and downs, and unconventional; the ideal that I want to appeal to is even more vocal. Living in an age when Bai Zuo made a miserable atmosphere, I was surprised to find that half a century ago, that country had gone in the right direction on the road of equality and progress-even if it only appeared in the works of individual people; even these works. In the torrent of the advancement of the times, so far, it has only been a flash in the pan.
Political correctness should never take precedence over art, turning art into a form of propaganda and distorting what was originally progressive. What Americans did half a century ago, but half a century later, they almost disappeared from their mainstream art world. It's really a shame.
"All lives are equally important." This is not a slogan. It's simply the world we need to create. Please don't allow independent thinking and well-meaning people to become robins, let their voices be distorted, suppressed, or even killed by individuals with ulterior motives and most stupid and ignorant people in the name of the times. As a minority, those who pretend to be enthusiastic, superficial, and offensive, it seems that it is not our friends who are chanting slogans for us every day. Everything they do can only increase the contradictions in society and make people who have hated us hate us even more. There is only one way that can really help us: thinking, independent thinking, and then creating works that can truly sublimate people's souls. If you can, you should be the master of the era, even if it is poor; not its lackey, even if it is rich.
