Lu Shisan/Wen
has been busy with the Beijing Crash Film Festival for a week in a row. Every night when I come home, I am exhausted and exhausted to the point of falling apart. I was limping, but I went to see "Super Battleship" IMAX anyway, because I felt that I had to do something related to being an ordinary movie fan, pay for the tickets myself, and speak more practically.
When I was watching "Super Battleship", I suddenly came up with a lot of things I wanted to say. When I finished it, I felt a little bit speechless.
I should be regarded as a standard Hollywood popcorn movie fan. Every time a blockbuster is released, I will definitely go to support it as soon as possible. From the moment when Huaxing first appeared on the IMAX giant screen, I bought tickets frugally and tried to watch every show. Half price then go to the earliest one. Science fiction, war, and robotics are all my favorite subjects. This is probably related to the four years of mechanical engineering I studied at the Polytechnic University. Although my studies are very poor, I always have a complex of lathes and screws and nuts that are hard to let go. The rough charm of the blockhouse movie that can accurately express the beauty of science and technology is by no means comparable to the aura of a literary film.
Up to now, the sci-fi blockbusters with the most position in my heart are still "Transformers", "Iron Man" and the like (the sequels are not included in the top list), yes, some people think that these films belong to "Iron" at most, But in my mind it is completely different. Because these films really capture human and machine emotions.
I still clearly remember the shock when the university saw the German lathe exhibition at the North Exhibition. The top technologies in mechanical engineering and automation are basically all in Germany, and the most sophisticated instruments are basically made in Germany. When our metalworking practice was still using old lathes in the 1970s, we saw Germany with its own line and style. Precision lathe, the feeling is no less than Fei Xiang's first appearance on the Spring Festival Evening. It turns out that technology can be less cold, and it turns out that machines can do so beautifully.
Unlike "Change" and "Steel", "Super Battleship" is exactly the most prominent element of technology, especially when the US military is displaying high-end military strikes on a large scale, those metals that shine cool in the sun's rays Weapon shells look like a national pride. When the foreigners saw it, there was a sense of despair. That kind of despair has the meaning of self-defeating. The main idea is: Fuck, it's too awesome, we won't be able to catch up in 100 years.
It's not just about movies.
I never felt that the movie thing was just the movie thing. On the contrary, if the film industry wants to develop well, then the industry in this country that has nothing to do with film must develop well, otherwise the film will definitely not work. In the final analysis, no matter whether it is positioned as an industry or an industry, film is a cultural and creative thing, something built on the basis of full and warm thinking, if most people do not even have correct values and pride in their work, film It will also be crooked. Moreover, whether other industries are developing well or not must not be measured by money. Making fake milk, drinking fake milk, touching fake milk is not a matter of one person, it will stink a nation.
Take a chestnut. People who study machinery, such as me, are not doing machinery at all. Because when I was looking for a job, I felt that I was not interested in machinery, had no future, and made little money. So why do people like me who are not suitable for majoring in mechanics at all enter this major? I am not the case. In fact, in the major I studied at the beginning, very few people really liked this subject, and it was even rarer that they did well in this field after graduation. Machinery manufacturing is a basic industry that requires a large number of basic talents, but the fact is that there are only a large number of people. I think their attitude towards doing things is probably just to have a job, which is the same attitude as when I was studying and messing around.
Later, I chatted with a college classmate who was engaged in the mechanical industry about Transformers. He said that China will never be able to make such a thing in this life. Because I don't dare to think about it, and I don't have this technology. The first half of this sentence is about people, and the second half is about the environment. Reflected in the film, the person who made the film dare not have imagination, and there is no person in the basic industry as a professional to support him in realizing the world he wants to imagine. I think that's probably why we can't make big Hollywood movies.
Some people say that "Super Battleship" is not a brainless blockbuster? But I don't think so either. I saw something that moved people. Wasn't it touching when the group of veterans walked up to the deck with their chests up? Isn't it touching to still have absolute trust in your comrades at the juncture of life and death? Why are Hollywood's most brainless blockbusters so moving?
Some people say that this is the output of Hollywood's values! Don't be fooled by them! But I want to say that if the values can be skewed towards you, then it can only be said that the values of this land have become a trough. Think about the corrupt officials who just want to make money, demolish and commit adultery, think about those short-sighted and eager companies with only ten years of life at most, and think about those projects with full economic benefits but zero conscience. In this country, how can film be alone.
