Degenerate poles - the head and the tail of the train

Last year, I recommended it to a group of friends to watch it, but I haven't watched it because of other things. In addition, my friends generally responded that the film was just so-so, so I stayed until after the exam in May to watch it.

The beginning of the film is a revolutionary riot. A group of oppressed slum people fought back to snatch life resources. After a fight with the ruling class, it looks like a lively, but there is no cool fight and epic of an action movie. The heroism of the film is indeed bland. The more I watched it, the more I wondered if this was a movie I was concerned about. I thought it was another boring movie that reflected the gap between the rich and the poor, and finally diaosi counterattacked the rich and handsome. Am I looking forward to "Elysium" once again, and recommending the wrong film to my friends? It wasn't interesting until the last 30 minutes of the film, so I didn't feel embarrassed to my friends.

The turning point appeared in Song Kanghao's sentence: "Maybe you can survive outside". Just like me, who is watching a movie, has been led away by the bland plot. When I was dozing all day, someone suddenly stood in the position of a bystander and woke up my mind, to become aware of the world outside my consciousness, maybe there is something new. Inspiration. At this time, I suddenly realized that our consciousness was so closed that we were almost confused by the "rubbish protein block" in the first hour, and almost forgot how Feng Junhao could simply make a commercial film without depth. , he must have prepared nutritious food such as chicken and steak.

So I think "Snowpiercer" is not classic enough, but it is also worth savoring. I haven't read the novel, so I can only start with the film itself. There is no righteous side, no evil forces, no right thinking, and no wrong logic in the movie. What is on this train is the hunger of the poor and the loneliness of the rich. In a perpetual motion machine, all yin and yang need to be balanced. The only thing that doesn't exist is the breath of life. Even the children who are sitting in the classroom and studying have been wiped out by brainwashing education. The last train in this snow country is nothing but a mobile cage with no way out on a fixed track.

Whether it is a tenacious and brave revolutionary fighter who lives at the bottom of the society and shares the hardships and hardships with the common people, or the omnipotent savior who sits in the supreme position of power relying on economic and technological strength, he has become a snow country train in an unbreakable environment of decay. funeral offerings.

Sadly, the person who realizes that he has to escape from this empty world is the designer who designed the obstacles for this train. It is not and ironic that human beings constantly block and restrain their inner emotional world while inventing and creating. Has the division of the human class been eliminated?

It is people who promote the development of history, and it is also people who create all ideologies. Physical science tells us that energy cannot be generated out of thin air, but can only be transformed. Therefore, perpetual motion does not exist. To say that perpetual motion can exist, it can only exist. The creative human mind and the indelible goodness of humanity. In the end, the director gave Curtis a chance to redeem himself. He was not bewitched by his good nature, and he gave the last match of hope to the little girl, and he also sacrificed himself like his idol. Arm saved another small life. So the black Adam and the yellow Eve became the only survivors. When they returned to the natural world, what they saw was the polar bear, the king of the ice and snow world in our time (for this polar bear, the beholder sees the wise and sees the wisdom, director What you want to refer to, that's the director's idea, nothing to do with you).

In fact, this film still shows the director's thinking about politics. Therefore, no matter whether it is reform or revolution, in the end, it is just to establish another stable regime, and then continue to let each class build a social system according to its own division of labor. Our system needs to evolve continuously so that human beings can have the space and motivation to continue to develop. We are not saints, of course we need systems to sanctify something, but if the system itself is immutable and undeveloped, then in the end it will just become a big programmed cage in which all people are Slave, there is no real leader at all here, the only thing he is better than others is that he is less oppressed than others. In the end, people can only find that all the modern industrial civilizations and institutions they think they have created are completely vulnerable to the forces of nature.

A system, if it is not ready to be broken at any time, appears to be a harmonious train that will never stop and perish, but in fact it has lost its momentum of development. It's just a machine doing endless repetitive motions in a vicious circle.

Furthermore, as an individual, we are just stuck in desire - this perpetual motion machine that brings people vitality, and we need the motivation to live. When this motivation becomes unclear, you can only be controlled by this vague desire and do some vague and aimless struggles. Then, your life is naturally bleak and meaningless.

Our destiny is not just in a straight line or a circle. If you want to transcend yourself, don't just think about running to the polarities of your self-knowledge level, please open the door that closes your self-consciousness and walk into another world.

    1. The epitome of the world, the division of groups, the interpretation of human nature, and political fables; 2. The struggle between sensibility and reason, as a human being, is often defeated by one's own perceptual impulse, even if it concerns all mankind, like love, if the whole world betrays You, I will stand behind you and betray the world. This is also the reason why the protagonist at the end was not brainwashed, because the influence of "goodwill" and the guilt of the past have deepened into his bones.
