Woman: This movie is quite depressing. I don't know what the director wants to express?
You pay attention to a lot of details, plot and performance, and you will find some problems, I will take you to summarize and you will understand!
Let's take a look, several families in this small town, whether rich or poor, have some commonalities. Watching them eat, the long table, full of family members, men and women, the eldest son and the youngest son, where do they sit, the man speaks , what should women do, the attitude of men to children, the behavior of boys and girls... these are all "proprieties" , even if you are not literate, you must have "education" and know the rules!
Female: Oh, by the way, I remembered what you said. Those girls walk slowly and very solemnly. Boys run and play like crazy, they won't get together with girls...
Yes! Also, the attitudes of adults towards children and the way of education are basically violent and big mouths! Later, you found out that children are also full of violence, so there are too many things in the town, and adults turn their attention to these obedient-looking children...
Woman: I remember a long shot, it was very artistic! Knowing that the child would be whipped the next day, he took out a wooden stick from the room and walked into a hut, where the audience heard howls...
Well, everything is to exaggerate the atmosphere, the audience is very depressed at this time, I seem to be able to feel the child's mood, and the subsequent plot is also, the boys fight each other, bully the small, and are full of violence, but in the end I found that the small town All the strange things on the Internet are the fault of these children. It seems that the white ribbon is not a problem at all?
The name of the film is called White Ribbon, can you tell what it means?
Female: The white ribbon symbolizes the restraint of morality. Children who wear white ribbons must be obedient and cannot violate the teachings and moral rules...
That's right! Let's analyze further, what is the relationship between the plot and the white ribbon.
We found through a lot of plots and pictures that the town has a very strong hierarchical concept , and it is very clear who is on top and who is on the bottom! Barons, priests, doctors, teachers, nurses, peasants, men, women, youngest sons, eldest sons... Everyone, in a specific environment, has a certain order of seats and rank, and they must know the etiquette and honor, and no one should go out of the circle . Deviating from the track , let alone making a mistake , otherwise there will be no good end!
Woman: Oh, I see, no wonder a lot of long shots sit around the bench to highlight these ideas.
The main description of this film is: the relationship between moral constraints and rank and power!
You see, the men here make their own rules, and when the baron holds a meeting in the church, he can represent the law, he can represent the order , and he can reward and punish anyone in the village.
The teacher brought his girlfriend to propose marriage. The woman's father said that he must get married again after a year. No matter what, it must be implemented. I am the eldest in this family, and what I say is the Fa!
Female; yes, that's right! In the end, the town was almost killed, and the police were called, but why didn't the white ribbon work ?
In fact, this is precisely what the film focuses on, and we must focus on thinking and paying attention!
Do you still remember, the little boy was walking on a tall single tree, facing the holiness of God, and betting his life to test whether he was abandoned by God...
Do children consult with their parents when they want to know if they are right or wrong and seek answers?
No, because parents can only yell at them, slap them, and solve problems violently!
Yes, so what does faith give them, and what problem does the white ribbon solve? They can't communicate with God at all! What happened in the end, the adults used violence, and the children did the same, bullying the small with the big, bullying the weak with the strong , and finally it was the mentally retarded child's turn to be the unlucky one!
Woman: Yes! The weaker way of venting their anger is to hurt the weaker, and they will use a cruel and violent way. The little boy stabbed the bird in the cage with scissors, and made it into a cross. It was just a catharsis and a protest, showing that a distorted value has been formed in the child's heart!
Well, let's take another look at the adults in this small town, the way they handle and solve problems. In front of the public, those nobles did not seem to be violent, and seemed to follow the rules and inheritance of their ancestors , but in fact, they were making laws all the time .
Woman: Yes, I found that their so-called reasonable and legal behaviors are actually sanctimonious and coercive behaviors. Many people are actually hypocrites, Yue Buqun, from top to bottom, without exception... When I saw that doctor, I thought that He is a highly respected person in the town, but in fact, he is just a slut, a male thief and a female prostitute , and a shameless person, just because the female nurse has to depend on him, there is no way, otherwise who would want to play with that kind of bastard!
He only cares about his own feelings, whether he is comfortable or not, and he doesn't know how to respect other people's feelings at all! Actually there is also the Baroness, have you noticed the conversation between him and her husband, she is tired of this man around her and wants another life
Woman: Yes, after all, she is also a lady, who wants to be ridden on the head by these men, and she can't stand the attitude of men to children, she is extremely bored... But when it comes to this lady, why? She said she liked a man who flattered her?
It's normal, women also want to be respected! Only respect women can win their love! After that, look what the baron said, did you sleep with him?
Woman: What does this mean?
Men are full of these things, do they understand the women around them? On the surface, they are respectful and respectful, but in fact they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes , and their hearts are extremely dirty, because they are such villains in their bones, naturally they can't get rid of these thoughts, and this kind of thing can't be pretended!
Look at the end, when the doctor and the nurse left, everyone was talking about the child being an idiot because the two were fooling around... Before the doctor was behind his daughter-in-law's back, he was trolling...
Female: Haha, it's like a village woman talking about her wife...
Yes indeed! Are you saying that the white ribbon really works? Look at the pastor, too. Look at his actions and find that it is not good. First, close the window and cover up the threat until the end ... These are the things, what do you think the white ribbon can bring to the child? Do they really understand morality and restraint themselves?
The director actually wants the audience to think about a question
When someone has rank and privilege, all morals and restraints are nonsense!
Just like a white ribbon, it breaks when you pull it! Morality simply cannot constrain and punish such high-level people with privileged hearts, and even the law is invalid!
You have a privilege in your heart, ha , what you said is too much of a feeling! Everyone in this small town is like this. The so-called etiquette and creed just show the hierarchical relationship of layers of pressure.
No matter the big or small environment, as long as there are privileges, rank and rank, the white ribbon will not play any role!
Look at the pastor's daughter, yes to the little adults, she is actually very shrewd. She has learned to lie and show off this kung fu since she was a child . What will she be like when she grows up? It must be like his dad, this is the future of the town!
Woman: I noticed a long shot. At a party, someone was drinking and drinking, while the teacher and his girlfriend were dancing , and the camera moved along with it. It made me dizzy ... What's the point of this scene?
In fact, this group of shots has very important ideological connotations. The teacher himself is very reasonable and simple. He tells the story as a bystander to the whole event. The director wants to remind: When can men and women be equal , without the concept of hierarchy?
It is when you are confused, drink too much, or have fun together, dance together, then there is equality between men and women.
Oh, I see! This is the happiest and most normal time, everyone is like a festival!
Yes, finally figured it out! So you see, this is why I want you to watch more Oscar movies, what is lens language, what is art, what is film, how to convey ideas with stories...
Female: You still have the most feeling in your interpretation, the language of the camera and the subtext. It's really worth pondering! Especially when I understand the ideological connotation, I am more willing to capture and think about these bright things in the movie!
Well, that's why I said, movie critics, it's useless to talk about those big truths! Yunshan fog cover, who are you fooling, how many people are really willing to listen to that stuff?
Woman: Ha, that's right! There are a lot of academic vocabulary in those movies on the Internet . It is not easy to explain people clearly, but it is very easy to make people dizzy ! Ha ha! Why did this movie win an award? "Political correctness, feminism, utopia..." Who doesn't know what to say, it's all nonsense! In the end, the dizzy or the dizzy, the incomprehension or the incomprehension!
Yes, only when the audience understands and understands it is the real movie appreciation, and our artistic cultivation will gradually improve...
Woman: Well, the movie basically understands, but why does the dialogue still mention war ?
At the level of power, morality is like a white ribbon. It can only be yearning and hope. There is no restraint on those with power. Everyone sets their own rules and starts thinking, wars, and battles between countries! What is the source of the war? Just make your own rules, don't you agree? Let's solve it violently!
A big country and a strong country specify the rules, that is, you need a small country and a weak country to abide by it! So how? War is bound to break out...
Woman: Oh, finally got it! Just don't know the rules, don't know what is the truth, morality, civilization! I don't speak rationally, I don't speak the law, and I don't speak about order . I only speak my own set of views, and only think from my own perspective ... The world will not be stable, and it is inevitable for a small town to be involved in war!
Woman: There is also the ending. Tell me about it. Don't you always say that the ending is the most important thing? It's the finishing touch, but I don't see any way. Explain it to me.
The ending is accompanied by the narration of the protagonist, that is, the teacher,
In fact, we can see that the people in this village are just like this, brainless! Can't tell, good and bad people don't know! It is impossible to see who is sincere and who is hypocritical, so liars and hypocrites are rampant !
Female: Why did you say that the villagers of the male protagonist's tailor shop didn't come?
Explain why the villagers are not coming? First, it explains how these villagers may be spreading gossip behind their backs! They never speculate on people with kind hearts, because they are inherently dark and need to vent .
Woman: Yes, under the preaching of the pastor, how can I judge this teacher? Also, why do you say that the male protagonist inherited his father's tailor shop instead of a bakery ?
There's a sense of sarcasm here, do you think they'd be short of clothes just because of these hypocrites?
Woman: No shortage! Hypocritical, sanctimonious, masked people, they never lack clothes!
Right! What do hypocrites want clothes for , and because of that
For the sake of mindless obedience , these villagers don't deserve to wear clothes given to them by decent people, so let these people perform naked in the world !
Look at the end of the film, in the church, sitting there gorgeously and dignifiedly, are they listening to the will of God, and will God look at them with the right eyes?
Woman: Well, that's right! Sure enough, it was these people who caused the war in the end! Germany is indeed a nation that knows how to reflect and reflect! Another masterpiece that considers morality and war is born , haha, well-deserved reputation!
