Stupid Western Showbiz Views

The film made me feel stupid. It is the condescending attitude of the Western entertainment industry. After watching it, Easterners will feel a touch of sadness. Westerners have looked down on the East for too long. In their eyes, the Easterners are backward, stupid, and despicable. Indeed, since modern times, the East has indeed been backward, stupid and despicable, but who caused this, and was it not caused by the aggression and plundering of the West? Maybe in the eyes of today's Westerners, they are innocent, and they are indeed innocent. After all, it is not them who are covered in blood, but their predecessors. They take the inferiority of the East for granted, but they don't know that it is caused by poverty. Poverty can make people stupid, backward and despicable. There is no way. We are poor because we can only be backward, backward can only be stupid, and stupid can only be despicable. Who is the cause of poverty? Westerners don't think it's them. It's because Easterners are stupid, so they can't get rich. They blame all the faults on the stupidity of the easterners, this is not the view of all westerners, but it is indeed common in the west, even mainstream, at least the view that Hollywood and other entertainment circles believe in, as if they feel that the Iraqi people have lived It was not good because Saddam was dictatorial. If Saddam was killed, the life of the Iraqi people would be better. The United States wanted to rescue the Iraqi people, so it killed Saddam. This is a common Western view. Later, the United States killed him. Saddam, then Iraq was more chaotic, the Iraqi people were living in more dire straits, then the US pulled out, the American people stopped paying attention to this issue, they wouldn't say why the Iraqi people were living in dire dire straits, because the US The United States is God, Huo Huo, you deserve it, you should be grateful, Americans feel very innocent, I paid someone to help you rescue you, and you still regard me as a bad person, I am too innocent. This is the same argument in the film, although it is not clearly stated how stupid, backward and despicable the local people are. The American, French and other western developed countries represented by the protagonists are looking down to rescue them, and they will not bring more assistance. rope? No, this will not reflect the stupidity and backwardness of the local people, so that there will be no ropes in the back store that do not allow you to buy ropes and supply station flag ropes that cannot be borrowed. Their point of view is that we are here to help yourselves, but You don't help yourself, you deserve to have no water to drink, this is the stupidity of the East, of course, the West has a small responsibility, bureaucratic corruption and so on, look, we don't care about our family to help you, girlfriends don't have time to take care of you, you You can't even buy a rope from our fair trade to help you, how stupid, is the flag more important or the water? In fact, there is a strong posture of God behind them. The fault is passed on to others. It is despicable for the soldiers blocking the road to threaten the tour guide with their relatives. It is stupid to buy or borrow a rope. It is also stupid to block the road every time with a dead cow in a fixed and stubborn way. Even B even wrote a note to guess whether the fixed mode is left or right. These all strongly express how stupid they think the locals are. Of course, this is not what the director wants to express, but it does not prevent the director from being at the top of the West. As an oriental, can I not feel sad when I have seen the Westerners being high and self-righteous? But this kind of thing is natural, just like when we look at the people behind our country, such as North Korea, Vietnam, etc., we will feel that they have insufficient food and clothing, are backward, ignorant or even stupid. Even if we help them, they will have a sense of superiority. attitude, but we ourselves may not find that this attitude hurts them, we will take it for granted, just as it is said in our country that North Koreans can't afford to eat, and the United States also rumors that Chinese people can't afford clothes.
Maybe I should add one more thing, what I'm talking about is just an attitude. This attitude has nothing to do with politics, country, race, or gender. It's just an attitude that the rich look down on the poor. This attitude is the stupidity of human nature, including directors.

    No.83 Several scenes are really embarrassing. War is the scariest thing in the world, it destroys everything.

    When the core emerges with the ending, and enduring the slow rhythm of 100 minutes to break up the branches, the real sense of the story is greatly increased. The suffering of war and the dilemma of international politics are no longer wonderful distant legends, but as real as the mediocrity of our daily life. . The corpse in the well and the wicked one winning the ball are metaphors for the international community to tie its hands and feet, unable to protect the people in the face of regional tyranny; in the end, it is hoped that the problem will be solved by itself.

A Perfect Day quotes

  • Mambrú: Cow?

    B: Cow.

  • Sophie: Where is the roof?

    Mambrú: Out there somewhere. They blew it off from right there, you see? They leave an open tank of butane... they light a fuse... close the windows, shut the door. Half an hour later... pfft! The roof is gone.

    Sophie: Who?

    Mambrú: Neighbors, probably. But before the war, if you were a Muslim and your husband a Serb... or the other way around, well, it was no big deal. Then the war starts... the lines are drawn. And now it's too dangerous to stay here. So you leave the kids with the grandparents... and you go to the other side... where it's safer. But while you're away... the neighbors blow up your house so you won't come back after the war. But it could be worse.

    Sophie: What could be worse?

    [starting to sit down]

    Mambrú: Putting a mine in the sofa in case you do come back.
