I didn't crash, but yesterday I went to the hospital to take a CT scan after I fell down. I was thinking about analyzing the film from a sociological perspective. Because before and after watching the movie, I felt the coldness of the movie more.
In D. Cronenberg's movie "Crash", every wound is extremely sexy, and the worn and damaged parts of the car are more like damaged pubic parts. The film does not win with color impact and tonal changes. What really creates the post-industrial crash and sexual pleasure is the widely used Daquan deep push (pull) and small panoramic horizontal shift, so everything happens. The universality and naturalness of post-industrial society. Almost all the characters in the film are calm about what is about to happen around them, everything should and must happen, just like the driver will always encounter traffic accidents (sooner or later), so this cold analysis does not allow I am at a loss. The film itself is not sexy at all. It is more like a post-industrial society psychology and desire analysis film. Looking through the DVD data, it says: The themes&preoccupations that would characterize much of his later work:biological horror,sexual unease and over-arching Technology. Talking about the themes of director D. Cronenberg’s early works began to focus on portraying: physiological panic, sexual anxiety, and excessive technology. The film is adapted from novelist JGBallard's works written in the 1970s, when Western society began to enter the post-industrial era. At the same time, the British sociologist Z. Bauman, whom I have always loved, has been reflecting on the shortcomings of modernity. In the book "Modernity and the Holocaust", he said: "The scientific rational calculation spirit, the moral neutrality of technology, and the social management The trend toward engineering, it is these basic elements of modernity that make tragedies such as the Holocaust that extinct humanity become collective social behaviors (actions) in which designers, executors, and victims work closely together. From extreme rationality to extreme Irrational, from a high degree of civilization to a high degree of barbarism, seems paradoxical, but in fact there is a logical inevitable...The way to salvation may lie in: under any circumstances, the individual unconditionally assumes his moral responsibility." Novels and movies "Crash" happens to be the best proof, and it's just one of the more and more proofs-if these "crash club" people just use their cars to "kiss" the people in the club and bear the corresponding consequences, it's okay to say, but it can be developed later. When all the vehicles on the street are involved in this crazy activity without any willing and unwilling consultation, the moral and legal punishments are clear at this time.
It is difficult for us to understand these writers and works in China at present, and the attention they have received is far from enough. Most Chinese scholars do not understand the prophetic foresight of Western New Leftists. They first stand on the basis of humanity and reflection, and worry about the morality of the present and future of mankind. They discovered the things that caused the material problems and the most fundamental deterioration in the spirit. However, our people are not willing to compare horizontally, and always fall again on the problems that the West has committed. This is much worse than my fall. What hurts the sustainable development of a country in the future.
