bought a set-top box for 4000 yen in Japan, finally got rid of the analog signal and started to enjoy digital TV. Finally, you can watch original American movies without listening to dubbing. The first one to hit the gun was Judy, Foster's flight plan.
The beginning of the film is very boring, and the husband of the protagonist who is not aware of it just hangs up. It may even make people feel that the protagonist himself might be a murderer, which is bizarre and mysterious. Generally this kind of movie with a dull beginning will not interest me much, but I have not touched English ears for a long time, and I am very hungry for every word in English, so I can only bite the bullet and watch it. (It was actually a bunch of German at the beginning, making me even suspect that my English had degraded to this level).
As the story goes on, it will gradually give people the illusion that if this is a lie, then everyone is deceiving the protagonist. Then naturally there will be a kind of doubt, is it possible? Is it possible that everyone is lying? When there is this kind of suspicion, it is natural that the protagonist may have a phantasy. At the same time, because the opening shots are very mysterious, shooting the protagonist and the little girl separately, it makes people think that the director may deliberately jump out of the clichés and make a mental illness movie. However, the protagonist will always be the protagonist. In order for the protagonist to be correct, the whole world can be wrong.
When the protagonist was arrested by a security officer and took his seat back. Most people on the plane applauded and celebrated. At this moment, I thought of the feeling of this period of time in Japan. The biggest difference between Japan and the United States is that the group mentality is too strong. It's not that Japanese people have no personality, but that kind of personality is difficult to express. Although all Japanese office workers do not wear uniforms, they all wear suits. No one dares to sit in front of the computer in jeans and a T-shirt. In fact, one of the Google’s entry standards is that “what you wear for work in front of the computer is the same.” According to this standard, no Japanese are qualified. This kind of powerful group psychology prevents this society from having "another view", and the three of them become tigers. My biggest experience in Japan is that Japanese people rarely have alternative and non-mainstream views. All views are correct. All views are acceptable to most people. On the other hand, all views are very "common". ". At this time, I miss some economists in China, who can cry out mentally handicapped theories such as "stocks will not fall in ten years".
Because of this kind of experience, it is easy to feel the huge impact of group psychology. If I were in that environment, almost everyone said that when you were neurotic, I really might think that I was neurotic. But the protagonist does not, or in other words, the Americans do not.
When the whole world thinks you are wrong, you will continue to believe in yourself. This is the American thinking, or the thinking that American movies want to convey. The protagonist doesn't feel that he has a nervous problem for any minute, and he works hard to find his daughter in any minute. In other words, this movie is to some extent challenge the group psychology. Challenge group psychology with individualism. Of course, I am not a fan of individualism, and even when I watch a movie, I find this idea very scary. At the same time, I am also very curious about the power that makes the whole group unite and lie to the protagonist.
Of course, in the latter part of the movie, all the problems were exposed. The evil security officer Carson turned out to be behind all the plans. In the end, it was discovered that not all of them were lying. It was just that the two of them joined forces to do something. Little action. As a result, the group psychology of the entire plane was threatened. At this time, you understand that it is not the struggle between the group and the individual, but the individual elite and the individual elite. Whoever can kidnap the group psychology will win. This is indeed the case in human society. The fact that Hitler kidnapped the group mentality of all Germans in World War II is naturally similar to this movie.
The movie actually conveyed a message, why the group psychology can be kidnapped, the reason is very simple. That is the fact that people in the group are indifferent. At the end of the film, Carson said: “Everyone doesn’t care about what other people are doing. Everyone doesn’t care if there is a little girl in the seat behind him.” In the final analysis, people are selfish animals. It doesn't matter to yourself. It is precisely because they are indifferent to each other, so in the end they have an inexplicable sense of collaboration. "Others agree, so I agree." This group psychology itself is a kind of indifference, a kind of indifference to others, to life, and to life. As long as there is no harm to your own interests, how the group will go, just follow it yourself.
In other words, Japan, which values group psychology, lacks the enthusiasm of the United States, which values individualism, and makes everyone living in this group feel boundlessly cold.
Different people in each movie will give different interpretations. Recently, I think about group psychology more often, so I naturally feel this way. Maybe other people will see that maternal love is great, or men are useless and stuff like that. (Then Carson was squandered in the end.) Speaking of group psychology, thinking of the current Ipad boom in Japan, there was a long queue to buy an e-book reader. Personally, I think it’s not a big deal. It's as big as a netbook computer, and it's more expensive than a netbook computer. In other words, you can use it to read books, study, or something... Most people who bought the thing would probably not use it to read books, just like when they lied to their parents to buy a computer, they just said that they used it for study, no Computers are eliminated by society. As a result, I bought it and didn’t use it to watch porn, surf the Internet, and play the computer... Ipad will eventually become a high-end game console. The game console is a thing, once the craze is over, it will have to be left at home to grow gray... As feared by Japanese booksellers, no one will buy paper books in the future. After all, there is a data worth noting. Although the sales of e-books have increased several times in recent years, most of the sales in them are comics... In Japan, Ipad may have an impact on the book market, but in China, you have this spare money. If you go to I pad, you might as well buy a netbook. You can read comics, watch A-films, play, and do word processing... Ipad is just a decoration in my opinion.
However, no one in Japan has this kind of "another view". All booksellers are interviewed. I am not saying that my view is correct, but I think that the Japanese are too short of "another view".
