What is power? When a person commits a crime, the judge sentenced him to death according to law. This is not power, this is justice. And when a person commits a crime, the emperor can sentence him to death or not. So he was pardoned. This is called power.

Schindler list

Schindler is a German and a successful businessman. He used the German war to induce Jews to invest and then hired cheap Jews to work, and made a lot of money in this era full of killing and smoke. But when he reconsidered the meaning of human existence, not just personal wealth, he began to use the money earned in the war to buy Jews who were doomed to die in concentration camps: Jozner, Wayne, Rosner, Fort faivre, Fisher, Xiafa, Wulanke, Holovitz ... The last surviving Jews used their gold teeth, which was their only wealth after the war. Schindler sobbed, "I spent too much money ... I could have ... this car-ten lives ... this chest-two lives ..."

Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get.

-Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump's IQ is only 75, but the world in Forrest Gump's head is an unexpected world. He seems to represent more of an American spirit that deliberately dwarfs himself, clumsy but hard-working, and tries his best as long as he is alive. He traveled around history and became a part of it. He witnessed everything and became a part of it. Running, running and running constantly seems to be the spiritual embodiment of Forrest Gump's detachment. Like a feather, he flew out of his own sky.

Forrest Gump's youth seems to have no regrets, because he rarely looks back to estimate his losses. Perhaps his life can be summarized in two paragraphs: "Life lies in exercise" and "Never stop trying!"

Once upon a time, someone told me not to have any accessories. There should be nothing in life that can't be thrown away in 30 seconds.

-"Firewire"

Policemen and thieves are natural enemies. He is a policeman and a thief. He said: I can't let you bully me. I will bury you eventually. He said: I will wait until the end. The story of two men is very warm.

They are destined to play chasing games in this sad city, and they are destined to shoulder different missions, which makes them have to go their separate ways and fight to the death.

In the movie, the wife of Keith, one of the robbers, was detained by the police and became bait. When Keith saw his wife in the attic, his lover waved him away with tears. At that moment, Keith's expression was unforgettable.

Get busy living or get busy dying! People must do something. ...

-"The Shawshank Redemption"

This is a story about a prisoner. Andy, a young banker, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court for being falsely accused of murdering his wife and her lover. In the strict barrier, his desire for freedom is tempering his will all the time. Hope is the best wealth of mankind. Hope will always be with you as long as you don't give up. Andy said this to several friends seriously, in exchange for Rui's silence. After a while, Rui said slowly, hope is a dangerous thing and the root of mental depression. Then, Ray didn't look up at Andy again. He left the table, and Andy watched him leave quietly. Shake the camera and look at the charming sky outside the iron window ... Andy never gave up self-redemption to find a spiritual home. It seems that he always struggles with his will in this insurmountable high wall under the guidance of freedom and faith. So he spent 19 years digging a tunnel that ordinary people would dig for almost 600 years. He crawled in a 500-foot cesspit. The darkness of the devil and the light of God are like two ends of a piece of tissue paper, and Andy knows that the great sea and the sky he yearns for is close at hand. He finally creates a modern myth with his betrayal of the dark system and his ideal of pursuing freedom.

God will take away the best things around us and remind us that we have got too much.

-"Four Feathers"

The epic film Four Feathers was originally a masterpiece of English literature describing honor and fear, and it has been put on the screen six times since 1920. The story is about the war between Britain and Sudan in 1898. Harry, a newly married aristocratic officer, decided to leave the army one night before the war with inexplicable fear after being named to leave for North Africa. This move caused an uproar in the British upper class with high nationalist sentiment. His fiancee, together with three friends, threw him four feathers, representing shame and contempt. Four feathers symbolize the four values of "freedom, motherland, honor and passion" and are abandoned by quitters. After wandering around, Harry decided to go to North Africa alone. Disguised as an Arab, he went through hardships in the desert battle, overcame his fears and finally rescued his friends who fell into the hands of the enemy. In the story, the fate of a professional soldier is in sharp contrast with his personal honor and disgrace. Surprisingly, it is found that stripped of the noble coat of the hero, only a secular heart is exposed to the sun.

The first rule of urban survival-don't shout for help when in danger, shout for fire!

-"Seven deadly sins"

It seems that the evil of human nature has always been the mainstream of western value system and cultural concept. In the movie, seven deadly sins, seven punishments and seven rains happened in seven days, and even the ending was set by the inscrutable criminal at seven o'clock on the seventh day. The ubiquitous "7" is like a spider's web, suggesting to the audience that it is a crime and punishment bearing fate. In a selfish, greedy and lewd metropolis, God once launched a flood to wash the human soul, but criminals seem to only want to summon the judgment of fate with blood.

It is said that the western "seven" is a mysterious number in religion, which is fully reflected in the Old Testament. God made Adam in seven days, and took out Adam's seventh rib to make Eve. Satan's original body is a seven-headed dragon (the third section of Chapter 12 of Revelation says: "There is a big red dragon with seven heads, and it also wears a crown ..."

Never hate your enemy, it will affect your judgment.

-"Godfather"

The law of calmness and fanatical desire seem to be twin brothers forever. Hayek once said that in such a society, there are only "formal rules" of law.

Role, no one can absolutely take the form of this rule to achieve their goals. But the godfather seems to be a hacker who can wander freely in it. It only takes a very simple piece of code to produce a huge virus. The rules in their hands are just tools to bind mortals, and only "self-interest" is the ultimate goal. They decide their choices in the way they believe, so as to make up for the lack of laws in a free society.

Vito corleone's solution is to build a family under the cover of religion. Of course, vito corleone has his belief in this family, that is, he always carries out his theory quietly.

Morality seems to be a fig leaf here, and means is the way to make money. ...

-"Paradise Cinema"

This is a warm movie, and every picture can take you over the mountains in your memory.

A mother misses her distant son. Her son who left home many years ago is now a famous director in Rome. My son is back. He came to attend the funeral of the old projectionist and his most important friend.

When he was a child, everyone in the village liked to go to the "Paradise Cinema" in the town to watch movies. Slowly, the little boy also formed a deep friendship with the old projectionist. Later, the little boy saved the old projectionist in a fire caused by film. The old projectionist couldn't see anything, and the little boy became a projectionist. Later, the boy grew up and fell in love with a girl, but the girl moved away with her family. The boy accepted the advice of the old projectionist and left.

Thirty years later, the famous El Salvador came back to attend the funeral of the old projectionist. The old projectionist left him a gift, which was a kiss scene ordered by the town priest to be cut off. Every kiss is as wide as a lantern.

-"Trainspotting"

"The world we live in is like a garbage dump." If He Yong's sonority is a sober pain, then Mark's anger is more like an awakening after being anesthetized.

This is a riot brewing in adolescence, a kind of resistance called rising up, a kind of resistance that doesn't want to go home and just wants to wander alone under the cold street lamp.

This movie seems to have a cry, either to crush this evil society and be a complete jerk, or to be completely integrated into it and be an idiot who goes with the flow.

They are looking for their own lives, cursing everything around them with marijuana or money. You can't tell whether they are asleep or awake. "Potato" said, "Fashion is changing, music is changing, LSD is changing, everything is changing."

Mark finally woke up. After betraying his friends, he smiled and threw himself into the world he once despised. This may be just the beginning or the end, but the film has told us that when Mark got into that dirty toilet, a new world was born.

There are always half people in the world who don't understand the happiness of the other half.

Emma

Emma is a film based on Jane Austen's novel of the same name. It is a color film jointly produced by/kloc-0 and Britain in 1996.

The film takes Emma Woodhouse, a beautiful, intelligent and cheerful young woman, as the protagonist, as the figure who leads the needle. Through the love and marriage relationship between many men and women, it expounds two views to the audience:

First, marriage should be based on feelings. Second, a successful marriage must be suitable for each other.

But what is love? In a Swedish film, two men are talking about women. A said to B, Don't be silly. They don't need love at all All they need is attention, unique attention. Dumas once said, in fact, there is no difference between happiness and pain in the world, only a comparison between one state and another! Dead people don't lie to us.

That's how freedom comes, but so do slaves.

-"Brave Heart"

Facts have proved that people's freedom can not be achieved by the words carefully compiled by jurists or the kindness of the monarch. For proletarians, freedom has lost its chains, but it has gained the whole world. Brave Heart depicts the tense confrontation between oppression and freedom with magnificent arms. Most of this confrontation is not based on personal will, but more on the contradiction of social structure.

For a hard worker, the meaning of freedom may just mean that his spine is no longer whipped, and he can do what he wants. In fact, William Wallace pursues more "natural human rights", even if it is blood drawing. This spirit is great. But the pioneers of the times can only see through the changes after hundreds of years with their eyes, because they wake up too early, and most of them are depressed and frustrated. Advocating free will in the middle ages when dogmatism prevailed, just as Galileo discovered that the earth was round. The significance of william wallace's pursuit is that, although doomed to failure, it touched that nerve after all.

Flies are not afraid, flies are not ashamed ... flies don't like politics ... "。

-Flies

This science fiction film was once rated as one of the most disgusting movies in history. The story tells the story of a scientist who successfully completed an experiment of decomposing organic matter and synthesizing it in different places. Just when the scientist was experimenting on himself, a fly mixed into the container. The result of synthesis was that the scientist had a fly head and the fly had a head. This shocking imagination, coupled with certain scientific theories as proof, obviously caused people's deep panic. In another world, reorganizing one's self seems to be more like a profound discussion about what the nature of life is, even if its form is a bit unacceptable. Thinking about life and deep understanding of politics are more like an fable.

It is said that Sura, the great slave owner who suppressed Spartacus, was a kind-hearted young man before he set foot in politics. Plutarch, an ancient Greek biographer, said in Comparative Biographies of Greek Celebrities that Sula was naive, lively, smiling and compassionate when she was young, and often burst into tears because of sympathy. However, in the end, he became cruel. Although he condemned the excessive possession of power and honor on the grounds that power and honor would destroy human nature, he did not try to limit his desire for power and honor, but desperately pursued it. He not only makes himself cruel in the process of pursuing power and honor, but also makes his competitors cruel.

What about Louis? Bolor said that politics makes people evil.

When you are young, you think everything has an answer, but when you are old, you may feel that there is no such thing as an answer in life.

-"fallen angels"

The killer will die tomorrow, and love is only the comfort of loneliness. It seems that fallen angels just wants to tell people that there is no persistence you really want in this world.

Life is like an arithmetic problem in our primary school: there is an N cubic meter pool, the water inlet pipe is filled with one cubic meter every hour, and the water outlet pipe is filled with B cubic meters every time. When will the swimming pool be full? There is no formula for calculating life. As an adult, you will understand that the inlet pipe is your life experience, the outlet pipe is your consumed youth, and this pool will never be filled. It represents an impossible perfect life, emptiness, struggle and emptiness. But we still have to face it after all!

We should learn to cherish every day of our lives. Because the beginning of every day will be the first day of the rest of our lives, unless we are about to die.

-American beauty

Lester Burnham, the middle class, has less than a year to live, although there is no sign yet.

He lives in that prosperous America, a warm and quiet suburb. He has a beautiful wife Caroline and an underage daughter Jenny. Everything, but his family is not as happy as outsiders see. He didn't achieve anything in his work, and he was tired of everything he did. Finally, one day, when Lester met Jenny and Angela who had just finished cheerleading in the middle school basketball game, he was deeply moved by Angela's beauty, and the long-lost feeling in his heart seemed to rekindle, and his life slowly began to change. In middle age, he fell into the love fantasy of an underage girl, and things gradually developed in a very interesting but unpredictable direction. ......

Perhaps not everyone's life can be meaningful because of this or that fantasy, but at least let us cherish another meaning of life.

Do you need a reason to love someone? Maybe not. What does it take to love someone? Yes! Don't regret it! -"city of angels"

Seth is an angel over Los Angeles. He runs between life and death all day, witnessing the joys and sorrows of the world. On this day, he came to a hospital, but unfortunately he came a step late. The patient who underwent heart surgery died on the operating table. Surgeon Maggie? Reese thinks it's her responsibility. She lost confidence and had a nervous breakdown. Seth decided to stay and help Maggie overcome her mental crisis. In the process, he fell in love with the beautiful Maggie. In order to really get in touch with Maggie, he risked exposing himself.

Angel's love may be purer than at any time in the world, but Seth finds that he can't really enter the mortal world. Facing his love for Maggie, in order to share the happiness of life with Maggie, he resolutely decided to give up his angel status, degenerate into the world, and become a mortal from now on. This may cost him a lot, but not everyone can get happiness between desire and giving. For angel's love, there is also a saying circulating on the Internet: Every girl used to be an angel without tears, and when she met a boy she liked, she would cry-so she became a mortal. So boys must not let girls down, because girls give up the whole heaven for you!

/kloc-the legend of 0/900 (the legend of 1900).

Reality or imagination

Both the screenwriter and the director played a big trick here. Originally, this was not a problem. The English name "legend" itself contains the meaning of "legend" (what is the Italian original? )。 But at the beginning of the film, the director made Mike take the lead, and all his efforts were to convince everyone that 1900 was true. Naturally, all the listeners, like us, are both skeptical about his words and interested in his stories. That's why the owner of the music store finally stood up, stretched himself and said lazily, "Well, your story is really well compiled, but our store is going to close."

No one believes that 1900 is true-except maybe Mike and the director. But does the director really believe that 1900 exists? In fact, his clumsy tricks show that he is the most suspicious one. True faith does not need to try to convince others. Then he actually used people's distrust as a storytelling strategy here. But I have to say that this strategy is not necessarily brilliant, because it is an abused means. Finally, the director asked Mike to try to save 1900, which was even more clumsy. The director made it so "realistic" that the story lost its legendary beauty.

I couldn't help laughing to myself when I saw that all the people were confused by Mike's efforts. It seems that they were finally persuaded by Mike that genius has such quirks. What surprised me even more was that the last Mike was still so young, and before that, his reputation had already spread far and wide. Why does it seem that no one knows him except Mike, but Mike needs to take pains to convince him one by one?

Theme-free variation

It is difficult for people to find a suitable theme to analyze this film. From the beginning, 1900 existed on the ship, and magically mastered such a difficult musical skill as playing the piano. He didn't get off the boat at first, so we couldn't analyze the reason. We only saw what the director gave us. At this time, he hasn't seen the land, so he can't have a final idea, or he can't understand that he once had the idea of walking around the land and almost put it into practice. At this time, we can only explain that he didn't want to get off the boat, or he believed his black father's words, and there were big sharks eating people on the shore. But obviously, the latter may be effective when he is not sensible, but I'm afraid he won't be able to have that effect when he is an adult-otherwise we can only interpret him as an idiot. So at this time, his not getting off the boat can only be said to be an accident. Without reason, there is no meaningful value without reason. Later, he heard the peasant poet (he could hear the singing of the sea and said, what is a poet? ), the other party began to yearn for it, which is even more contrary to the spiritual proposition of the whole film. On the contrary, the shore here is more mysterious and meaningful. Later, he met the woman, and his impulse to go ashore became stronger. Finally, he was going to get off the boat, which made our hearts hang, and we were excited and nervous. However, at this moment, a classic scene appeared. Beside the boat, he threw his hat into the sea smartly and then returned to the boat. We say that until this time, his thought and behavior of not getting off the boat have real philosophical significance and highlight its value. However, at this time, his life is coming to an end, and the film is coming to an end. So from the perspective of the whole film, how to analyze that it always runs through a unified theme?

Sincerity or hypocrisy

Perhaps the best part of the film is the competition between 1900 and the originator of jazz. But that part is too dramatic, too artificial. Not to mention jazz musicians, I am not very comfortable with the sincere feelings of 1900-but I have to admit that he felt me at that moment, and the person who can applaud his opponent is admirable. One-on-one competition is fierce. The director used all kinds of imaginable techniques to set off the whole atmosphere (but I have to say that these techniques are not new, for example, through the audience's expressions). When 1900 was forced to play A Christmas Song, my heart was very excited. I thought the really exciting moment was coming. When 1900 repeated the performance of jazz musicians, I was still interested in the director. The director is still in a rut. Does he think playing fast is good music? Then everyone is faster! This reminds me of Jin Yong's martial arts world. Real masters often disdain to use weapons, or use the dullest ones, such as uncut black iron, or children's toys, such as wood blade, or even branches and sticks. Their martial arts are often gentle, such as Taiji Chuan, but because they are masters, the power released is the most powerful. I thought 1900 would be such a master. He played the simplest Christmas songs and the music played by jazz musicians, which surprised and puzzled laymen. But a master, such as the founder of jazz, should be able to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. The same piece of music seems to be reborn in the hands of 1900, making him give up. I think this is much more interesting than having 1900 smoke a cigarette and burn a steel wire.

Also, 1900 began to retreat. He doesn't seem to understand why jazz musicians compete with him. He applauded the jazz musician heartily and was moved to tears. But it seems that he can't stand the jazz musicians' repeated threats, and finally shows his true colors and says to the jazz musicians a little viciously, "Bastard, you asked for it!" This sentence surprised me. In an instant, his sincerity began to turn to ashes in my mind, leaving only his expression at the moment. His original sincerity seems to have a little dark color at the moment. I don't like him like this. I'd rather he was stupid. He doesn't want to fight with others, he is him, a pure genius who only loves music!

Love episode

1900 has not shown interest in women in the middle, which makes me a little anxious. I think love may be more legendary for someone who has never been off the boat. With his fame at that time, there should be countless beautiful women around him. They should be fascinated by him, and he should also immerse himself in it and enjoy the sweetness of love. But no, the director seems to have overlooked this point and only let a fat trumpeter follow. But in the second half, it seems that the director finally felt the need to pay attention to the private life of the legendary young man, so he arranged an adventure for him, and it happened that the heroine was the daughter of the peasant poet who had influenced him. She also happened to be going to find her father. Because her appearance contributed to the following things: first, 1900 completed the music in his only record. From this perspective, it was her, or love, that inspired him; Secondly, because she couldn't accept his gift (strangely, he heard everything she said, and she was farther away from him at that time, and her voice was definitely not as loud as his. The only possible explanation is that he is downwind. But judging from common sense, he is more likely to have the upper hand. ), so he destroyed the only record (Mike trimmed it and stuffed it into the piano, but maybe he should keep it as a souvenir. Isn't he afraid to destroy it again at 1900? ); Third, because of her (and her father, of course), 1900 is going to live ashore and listen to the sound of the sea. It also indirectly contributed to his great idea. From this point of view, the appearance of girls is appropriate, but their love always makes me feel dispensable, as if just to complete a ceremony, or to promote some development of the above-mentioned story. So she just plays the role of a prop here, and love doesn't exist.

Why do you want to die?

The final death of 1900 is unacceptable. If you want to blame, I think you should blame the director. Because 1900 is completely immortal. Isn't it? 1900 I dare not go ashore just because I think the land is too far away and the city is too far away to see the end. This made him panic. He is afraid that he will fall into such infinity that he can no longer simply immerse himself in music. So to paraphrase a friend, "what he wants is purity." He is familiar with-and feels most comfortable with-the world is such a ship, with only 2000 people at a time. He lives by keys, and keys are limited. From beginning to end, he expressed a concept of "space". He was not born to like boats, nor was he born to live on them, but he was used to it and had to. And the "boat" he expressed did not emphasize that it must be "this boat", so we can fully understand that he can live happily on another boat. So why don't we buy him a new boat and let him die with this old one?

Such doubts may embarrass the director and all the audience, and will make the ending of the story turn sharply and lose the romantic color of artificial smearing.

Maybe my analysis is too cold and artistic!

Romantic ending imagination

Although I say this is an unromantic trip, it doesn't mean that I am so opposed to romanticization. Actually, I regret the endings of 1900 Legend and Baron in the Tree. I think, if I were you, I would never handle it like that. In my imagination, 1900 should have disappeared mysteriously, that is to say, Mike should not have found 1900, but just when he was most desperate, he suddenly heard that there was a talented pianist on a boat with impeccable acting skills and beautiful music, and-it is said that he never got off the boat again. From other people's descriptions, Mike realized that it was probably 1900. At this time, a sweet smile quietly bloomed on Mike's face, so the music began, and the piano sound of 1900 was like a storm. In the sound of the piano, the camera turned to the sea, and there were beautiful ships on the sea. Behind the boat is a beautiful sunset, and the boat becomes a beautiful silhouette. The sound of the piano seems to come from every ship, so many and so urgent, as if there were multiple 1900 playing together. So the subtitles went up. ...

Similarly, the baron does not need to pull a hot air balloon. He should suddenly climb far and further along the tree one day, and gradually become a small point in the surprised sight of everyone, and finally even this small point can't be seen. Later, people never saw the baron who had never been under a tree in his life. ...
