After watching the movie, it is difficult to construct a complete image of the characters in my mind. I watched a super nice MTV and saw specific dolls and fragments. However, these symbols are not arbitrary; taken together, they can be explained as a whole. I can't help but think of "The Ferryman", which is also a splicing of MTV's temperament, but the fate of the movie is almost on the street. The non-professional background of the director here is one factor, but more intrinsically, the creator does not have some kind of real It 's as interesting as the question raised in the movie: are you really so calm, buddy, or are you just pretending? With only superficial taste, the highest achievement of such a person is to cater to the masses, and the masses do not really have taste. The word "popular" itself means - to follow desires rather than tastes.
Why is that fun?
Taste is the judgment of the unity of knowledge and action. And there are not many moments when we really have fun in this sense, because human reason is too good at persuasion, and as a result, people often feel "justified" in both opinions. The unity of knowledge and action, neither acceptance nor rejection, there is no interest, everything is just pushed by the trend. However, as Wang Yangming optimistically pointed out, people still have some judgments that combine knowledge and action. For example, stench is disgusting, and people "involuntarily" walk away immediately-how can they be pushed away by life and opinions? The general public, as long as their brains are fine, no one will go to the toilet to eat. Feeling sick just thinking about it?
That's right, the essence of taste is a unity of disgust and liking related to aesthetic feeling, but it is disgust first, and the fundamental expression is rejection. Reason seems to be of little use when aesthetic sense comes into play. As far as this is concerned, there is no difference between tastes, good and bad. It is meaningless to say "good taste". What is good taste? Interest can only be divided into whether there is or not. People can only be divided into "interesting" or "uninteresting" in matters. A good person is to have interest and judgment in more things.
Whether a person is noble also depends on whether he develops more taste. When asked in the movie: Why do you, a kid who has been listening to music all the time, look like a superior to us? We kill people, we are born to death, you listen to songs, drive, and you don't pay attention to people!
Well, it's just that he's a really interesting guy. The word "true" is a tautology, but it is necessary. The movie has been repeated several times. The most typical one is when they all confirmed: buddy, you recorded, it really wasn't to leave black material, it really happened like this. Yes, and people don't like everything, they choose a lot, and most of the words are rejected.
The same goes for finding a girlfriend. If you say "I like beautiful women", it is not interesting. The popular view of "liking beautiful women" is no different from liking nothing or everything. To love someone by this standard is not firm enough. The person is in the future to some extent. The real interest in finding a girlfriend, the movie has already demonstrated, let a woman with as much beauty and long legs shake in front of me, I don't have you in my eyes at all, but once she appears with bright eyes and white teeth, then As said in "The Heart of Ping Ran", "People are like rainbows, they know what they are when they meet them", and love appears in the most straightforward and shameless way without a doubt, just like the one that makes my heart happy. Once the color appears, people are happy when they see it (also said by Wang Yangming). Of course, "knowing something when you meet it" is still a common view. For those who are interested, it's just "there is but you haven't encountered it yet."
Therefore, the second most noble person in the movie is of course the second male Shi Paixi. He drives a black Mercedes-Benz and kills people with spray guns, but this is not fun, so don't imitate it rashly. Like (baby), he originally said, "I just won't give you the tape, because..." (reason is talking), but as soon as the baby's girlfriend appeared, he immediately gave it to him cursingly, and later said provocatively, "I loved it too", and then took the lunch. This wave of operations is interesting, but the similarity between him and the baby is not that he likes the same type of girl, but that he knows what is true love and what is not, and he can reject things that are not real.
This is probably the ultimate meaning of taste, which allows us to reject everything that is false and welcome everything that is "true". The truth here is not the truth in the sense of scientific facts, nor the truth in the sense of being completely self. These two kinds of truth, one has nothing to do with "I", and the other is too related to "I". The truth here is between Between the two, it is both what the ordinary human spirit desires and what my unique mind is to follow.
So, in all seriousness (and the movie is far from talking about this), it must be stated:
First, interest is education. It is not something that can be established naturally. You have to put in a daily effort, and you have to search and confirm repeatedly in all things.
Second, taste is not without reason. Interest comes from the accumulation of rationality, and it is also integrated into emotion. It is the crystallization of cleaning and blending. Once it becomes established, it will go with it. But this is an illusion seen from the outside. From the inside, the judgment of a person who is really interesting never contradicts his rationality. The outcome of the debate is uncertain.
A dialogue worth explaining in the movie is like this. The big murderer complains that baby is a bit strange. The first adjective he proposes is retarded, which literally translates to "mentally retarded". Is baby mentally retarded? Shi Paixi (he was with the baby) responded:
This raises the question of fast and slow, you must know that killers are also fast, and drugs, sex, money... these things are fast, the so-called "money talks" - when these things talk, reason often also Obedience, "judgments" and actions can be made quickly.
Then, it is also quick to make a "judgment of the unity of knowledge and action". What is the difference between the Kuai of Baby and Shi Paixi and the Kuai of the great devils?
So far, the answer is very clear: the "fast" of the babies is really interesting, its core spirit is rejection rather than acceptance, and the "fast" of the big devils lacks the spirit of rejection, and its essence is rationality Submission to desire, in this sense, as long as you give up being a good person in the sense of Aristotle, it can be very fast, because the essence of human beings lies in their rationality, abandoning reason and becoming an animal, happy and happy.
Interest is the end point of self-cultivation, and it is not easy to achieve. Clean up and blend, easier said than done? If you master this kung fu, you will soon become a saint. No matter how old you are, you can call him my baby—a saint is a child, that's right.
Finally, as an ethical essay masquerading as a film review, let's review "baby driver" itself: the beginning of this film is suspected of being a genre film, and I'm worried that it's just some kind of transcendence of "The Italian Job", but the film didn't develop that way. , in fact, it is far from this, because it has almost no arguable value load that can be put on the table, the characters' actions lack a consistent motivation, and the story lacks a unified standard of right and wrong (baby is a good person? Just rely on the last A few testimonies? He turned out to steal cars too...), so I'd call it "fragmented"; but the movie has its own appeal, and aside from the good cast, its narrative actually involves making the audience Another dynamic of novelty: by watching how a person with real interest would act, the film demonstrates the kind of judgment that is one of knowledge and action, symbolized by "music", and the film quietly undertakes a different The more common "anti-type", that is, the baby has blood on his hands (both directly and indirectly killing people with a car and a gun, although it is the so-called "bad guy"), emotional (sympathy for the victim) and has After the deception (the tape he recorded was real, but he concealed from his teammates that the waitress was his girlfriend), he got through everything "safely" and his girlfriend was safe.
To let all the "prophecy" in the movie fall through is anti-genre. But there is still no explanation for all this - but it is explained again: in the continuous action of the protagonist, everything develops smoothly, and the audience does not see enough "reasons", but sees enough "reasons" action", so the secret of the film is that it's anti-modern narrative, it doesn't reveal "how to" to be a baby, it just depicts "what is" a baby, which amounts to saying , the content of life precedes ethical lessons, the political system precedes the way of life, and the baby is a child of society. In the monolithic institutionalized existence, the virtues cannot be learned, but are some kind of "unfortunate" that throws people out of the normal life process. , can also be a blessing.
The classical storytelling reminds me of My Favorite Antonioni's Adventures, but more entertaining. However, I don't think the director did it on purpose, because he must be a really interesting person (Take Kitano too), and such a person can do anything better than most people.
