Apollo program of Dionysus: Schizophrenia analysis and the great voyage in the lens (1)
Set sail-schizophrenia analysis
In fact, the most important thing in "Ad Astra" is how to understand the collapse of the Tower of Babel at the beginning-the same as the controversy caused by this film: because we are also ashamed to praise such a film as an accurate space film: It is still "on the ground", the ubiquitous gravity and the "simulacra" under CG technology overflow the film, completely exposing the extraterrestrial space in the image as a fantasy and schizophrenic fantasy.
In this sense, we will revise the question: it is no longer how the Tower of Babel was overthrown, but how it was planned -because the latter is about true grandeur and failure, and the will and determination of life. And the demon in the lens, the first question before our eyes, how could it be the tide? How could it be an interstellar beast, a conspiracy, or a space slaughter? These sins are too ordinary.
At this point, "Ad Astra" and "2001" have some differences but are in common: questioning developmentalism or scientism, and a motif of the god of the sun and the god of wine. However, in the enthusiastic 60s, Kubrick was still able to create a god in "2001": black slate and the power of evolutionary origin, "Superman" was born in Zarathustra's hut-and now, that stare at this blue Where is the baby embryo of the color gem?
The bankrupt or premature "2001" -we witnessed and admitted that infinite disappointment once again raised the water level, and the flood swallowed the foundation of contemporary people's spiritual life; and behind the "hero legend" illusion, Noah's Ark was concealed The absolute secret of the reef: Lima stranded in the shadow of Neptune, human corpses floating in the warehouse.
So we will see Brad Pitt, the Hollywood star appropriately plays such an "outlier" mask hero -emotionally stable, sleeps for 8 hours, miraculous resting heart rate, independent, independent Distracted, high-ranking students who are good at conversations with robotic arms and electronic brains: after throwing their wives, dinks, and celebrities, they are sexy and non-sexual, powerful and unmatched-why they "set sail":
"He had no choice," he said, not because of some kind of authority or heroism, but by hollowness: a cold description of the will of life after the transfer of the will, alive but no longer choosing, as if he wanted to lay his jade body horizontally. The neurotic witch presented to the evil dragon (a nihilist who has the most essential SM masochistic desire): Only in the most extreme loneliness and emptiness can TA experience the real life-the pain and climax when it is stripped With a smile.
Therefore, it can be said that Roy’s wife is actually another unit of Roy (and even Roy’s father) of a truly isomorphic, multifaceted modern man—— "you're not here...I'm a Independent person"-our body is constructed as a dock: an accelerator for parting and reunion. Therefore, the film was split at the beginning, and the wife in black walked through the corridor and leaned toward the bottom of the reef of consciousness.
Even this kind of schizophrenia is enough to provide "Ad Astra" with a solid ground, gravity core and orientation anchor: dialogue, mumbling monologues and particle-like space electronic music, Absolutely silent—these sounds are intertwined with the spiritual discourse constructed into polyphony, the inner struggle of the film; the unconcilable ending confrontation is automatically generated as the film’s disease mark: a gaze that penetrates the screen (Superman-the sickness of the embryo) variation).
