The New Ten Commandments: The Human Dilemma
A post-modern, noir, deconstructed film that reminds me of "I'm Crazy for Mary", an independent film, absurd, unconventional, but also a good film, In comparison, the content of this film is far more profound than that of Mary, and it is obviously not just a simple comedy.
Kieslowski also filmed a Ten Commandments, grand and compassionate, exploring a permanent moral dilemma of human beings. The new Ten Commandments are actually adapted from Kei's "Old Ten Commandments". The two Ten Commandments have similarities. , the main purpose is to reflect on the living conditions of contemporary Westerners, but the images are completely different. Kieslowski looks down poetically, while the new Ten Commandments are black and secular. Compassion, the latter is short-lived, witty and humorous. Of course, this is only a rough impression. Regarding the actual content of the movie, for such an outstanding movie, only the benevolent sees the benevolent, and the wise sees the wisdom. For example, Wang Yi's film review is about , establishes the contract between man and God, which cannot be replaced by the world agreement with Liu Bang. But at the same time, I think the film will also serve as an anti-belief message for other people, because for many people, growing up is the process of de-enchanting the world.
Director David Wayne may have deliberately made the film subversive and uncertain. Is the film frozen in irony and funny, or is it the deafening drink at the end of the film? Such discussion may be a blind man touching an elephant. Director David Wayne had a flash of inspiration on GOOGLE, and it took 28 days to finish the film. This is not a big production after 10 years, but everything is equally incredible. When Liu Zhenwei was filming the big story Journey to the West, did he think that a classic that was sought after by millions of people was about to be born? Zhou Xingchi, who worshipped Bruce Lee and went to make movies, probably would not have thought that he would eventually become the king of nonsense. The work of filmmakers, like all art, sometimes has an opportunistic mystique, but no matter what, good works will eventually expand the space of our history and culture again and again, and then the ideas produced are continuously practiced by us.
Do people need faith? Some people say that science and faith are the same thing, and science and faith are not contradictory. It is true that human life is a complicated process of faith. Many killing moments in history are actually loss of trust. Whether it is the stake at the Inquisition, or the murder of materialism, or the Nazis and Stalin, these two extreme ideologies of the left and right of the twentieth century are all because people have lost their moral foundation in their hearts.
From this, I think that the usual belief is not very divine, it is high above, and it requires people to achieve an impossible task. Faith can be the ordinary heart or the conscience of the common people. It can be obtained through love and spiritual practice. It is a part of our human nature. Such an understanding is equivalent to saying that people take love as their conversion, and the movie is of course more complicated. Each classic, its subtlety and righteousness, its textual value and appeal, will be supplemented by different latecomers.
The Ten Commandments, the ten commandments that Moses opened in the stone box, were originally the basic teachings of Christianity. In the contemporary world of materialization and industrialization, human beings have conquered the world and become more and more conceited. God is dead and people have no sense of reverence. After the Middle Ages, Western society has become more and more secularized and liberalized. In this movie by David Wayne, what happened in the world has long been beyond the imagination of our predecessors, and we are also drifting away, accustomed to enjoying the excitement and freedom of movement, the moral law, to what extent can it be mentioned on the level of life. But skeptics are often the real believers. David Wayne used the image to conduct a double negation and an interesting self-examination. We returned to the Ten Commandments, the spiritual proposition that human beings had in the prehistoric times. The question is whether the Ten Commandments are the great contract of life, the essence of morality, or just the witchcraft and ecstasy of human beings. Is there any difference between people without faith and monkeys, will they fall into madness? And with faith, will the road of life be easier to walk?
Life is full of confusion, between believing and not believing. As Pascal said, without a God, the fall of man has no meaning. This can also be replaced by what Dostoevsky said, God is dead, we can do anything? Man's spirit and body, soul and reality, can never be one. The sin of man can be denied because it is inherent sin, but can man also deny the pain of the heart? In The Last Temptation of Christ, Martin Scorsese makes Christ finally abandon the world, and we have to look back at the stars again and again.

    Hehe... the whole American literary and art world has been spoofed

  • Pietro 2022-03-28 09:01:13

    Ten times of maddening annotations, the black humor of the Americans is brought into full play, and God is greatly spoofed, but it is very, very, very warning. The most literary one is Winona Ryder's part. In reality, this young lady who had been a three-handed thief ironically continued to play the role of a thief, but found the truth in the stolen puppets. The crying scene in the car was really good. Why is she so beautiful and thin all the time? love to die. Lying rhinos, white mom black twins, nervous neighbors, joking doctor and his follow-up story about love in prison, old maiden's trip to Mexico, last Sunday morning nude party, all ridiculous and shocking write. American short story collections seem to be a lot more straightforward, interesting and easier to understand than Europeans. PS: Except WinonaRyder's
