From South China Tiger to Antonioni

Take a photo at hand, close to your eyes, and you will find that the photo is getting bigger. The closer you are to your eyes, the clearer the image in the photo and the richer the information you see, but you have to suddenly It stops, because when the photo gets close to your eyeballs, all you see is pitch black.

The South China Tiger incident that has been so heated recently is due to such a photo. An old hunter is not on the mountain. Concentrated on hunting, with two cameras on his back to learn about the cattle and started photography, the tiger on the mountain heard about it and came to join in the fun, lying on the grass and happily posing the POSE, making the old hunter snap enough. It was originally the best of both worlds. The old hunter received a reward of 20,000 yuan, and he even won the title of the hero of the tiger. , Being a photography model is still a boastful talk in the wild tiger circle. But

someone must have trouble with them. This person is a botanist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The most terrible person is still a photography enthusiast, and we only love it. It’s different to zoom in on photos of actresses with coded key parts. This scientist likes to zoom in on all photos and have something to do with science. Here I have to say that once a lot of things get involved in science, it’s hard to get out of it. Originally, this was only a photo of Entertainment China, and it was essentially the same as the photos of the monsters that claimed to have taken the aliens. Everyone looked at the photos and laughed and found that the South China Tiger was taken, and the photos were thrown aside. Is it a paper tiger or a real tiger? Anyway, it can’t climb on its own kang. The food is still eaten, the money is still earned, and the matter is over. It is

sad and sad at this time that scientists have mixed in. What is not to be caused these years Okay, I got into a scientist, this is the least serious and deadly representative of all the professions. After eating and eating all day, I wandered around, grabbed you and started debating, insisting that you are not in line with the laws of science, day and night. I can't finish it. Well, one side is a hunter, and the other is a scientist. They are both determined to find the type of people who eat as a meal. Such people can see it when they are more vigorous. Sure enough, there are more than one. It's a month, both sides have come up with countless self-righteous evidences. No one can convince anyone. They gambled their heads today, and they will invite to a duel tomorrow. It is really good-looking. Therefore, once entertainment is lucky enough to meet science, both sides must be big. There is a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other, and entertainment is more entertaining, science is more scientific, it is simply progress together, and it is difficult to think of disharmony.

More than 40 years ago, Antonioni filmed a movie called . It was about the same thing. It was also a photo that was magnified several times. It was just that the photographer found a dead person in it, and today we Scientists in, found a paper tiger. The master told us long ago through that movie that reality cannot be magnified. What you need to grasp is the original size of the photo. I believe what you saw at first, because only these are what others want you. It is

true that zooming in on a photo can enrich the details, just like zooming in on life, a photo of a great leader, people can see incomparable composure and confidence from his slightly raised jaw and straight body. But if you zoom in on the photo, you may see deep panic and exhaustion in his muddy eyes; a photo of a sexy beauty, men staring at the plump breasts and fat buttocks lusting this healthy and seductive body, but if you take the photo Zoom in, you may see the signs of the second stage of syphilis from the erythema on her palm; if it weren't for the , several people knew that the feat of setting up the American flag on the photo was actually a show under the gaze of the dead; There are also photos of those luxury houses, who can guarantee that after zooming in, the desperate and ghostly old woman behind the window will not appear. Yes, this is our life, the life after zooming in, those images that others don't want us to see, It's real, it's real after zooming in, but who can say that the original photo is not real.

Seeing is believing, we think that what we see with our own eyes must be real, touch it with our own hands, hear it with our own ears, nonsense , Of course it is true, otherwise it will be something. But don’t forget that we have seen the birth of a newborn baby, and we have also seen the fact that he must die at some point; we have touched the body of our lover, and we have also touched it at the same time A pile of fats and carbohydrates; we hear sweet music, and we should hear the noise of metal and meat rubbing against each other. We subjectively choose the truths we want in this world, not what we think All other things are false, but they are not the truth we want to understand. After all, human beings deceive themselves and live happily, trying to find the magnified truth, only like the one at the end of The photographer, holding the ball that does not exist, knows that it is real, spreads out the hand, and there is nothing.

Enlarge a photo infinitely, and it is a universe. Maybe, we and the South China Tiger are living in the enlarged photo of others In, you said, are we real or fake?

    A unique experience, the flaws do not hide the flaws. If "Last Night on Earth" focuses on the relationship between two universes, then "Zoom" shows the filmmakers (cameras) as philosophers and physicists in a single universe, trying to capture things such as atomic nuclei. It is an attempt and process of the general irregular motion of electrons and the nature of the interlaced operation of time and space. This is probably Antonioni's "Eight and a Half".

    "If we go deeper, we may touch the truth of things, and things that we can't see with the naked eye will appear. I always don't believe what I see, because I always imagine something behind it." "There is a certain moment, We have mastered the truth, but the truth is fleeting." —Antonioni/The blurring of the boundary between reality and fiction leads to total agnosticism
