I believe that the poisonous rice people have been like Sir these two days, and they have been touched by the MU5735 of China Eastern Airlines.
But it will still take time.
According to past experience, air disaster rescue and investigation is a long process, but also a very rigorous and meticulous task. Just like the pictures posted last night, Sir will continue to pay attention with hope.
Accidents are unfortunate.
It is gratifying that in addition to the prayers on the social platform, most netizens adhere to the bottom line of "not believing in rumors and not spreading rumors".
Combined with the topic he originally wanted to talk about yesterday, Sir fell into thought.
yes.
In the face of major disasters, we can always distinguish between right and wrong relatively quickly and more uniformly, and be cautious in words and deeds.
But twist your head.
Look at the less "serious" public opinion field:
The line between good and evil, or the bottom line of commenting on others, often becomes blurred or even distorted.
For example.
Movie.
00
Buffer belt
Movies and crashes.
Of course, the two cannot be compared, the latter involves real life and the future of countless families, but some phenomena reflected in literary and artistic works can often illuminate the absurdity that we despise.
It started last week.
Since 2021, the global box office champion "Spider-Man: Heroes Have No Return" has been launched, perhaps because of cultural differences and high expectations, the film has not aroused the expected pursuit in China.
The Douban score fell all the way from 8.3 to 6.8.
Not good, not liked, criticism of the quality of the film itself, Sir welcomes.
Only did not expect.
Flipping through the reviews, the bad reviews almost fell to the same tab:
Our Lady (bitch).
Not a recent buzzword anymore:
"Squid Game" male protagonist "Madonna";
Godzilla heroine "Madonna";
"Jiang Ziya" is based on traditional mythology and also "Virgin"...
When it swept in and repeatedly invaded our field of public opinion, things were no longer simple.
So.
When we say "hate the Virgin", what exactly are we hating?
01
Is our Lady of God?
Let's start with Spider-Man 3.
Why are we all said to be virgin by little spiders?
To sum up, there are three reasons:
First, the kindness of this person does not pay attention to the bottom line of principle;
Second, this person does good deeds and ignores objective facts and blindly shouts slogans;
Third, the man does not take responsibility for his actions and the consequences.
Well, Sir said one by one.
First of all, about the bottom line of principles.
The first time he came face to face with the Green Devil, the little spider also subconsciously evaded and refused, saying that they should be sent back to the original universe.
He didn't want to wade into the muddy waters.
He was afraid, afraid.
Fear that their ability is not enough to face unknown variables, fear that the people around them will pay the price.
So:
The little spider is not without principles, but his "principles" in the early stages are framed by cowardice, and such principles are shaken in the later stages because of more arduous responsibilities.
This is also the most important growth symbol of the little spider in the movie.
Second, about objective facts.
One fact that is easy to overlook is precisely this:
The viewer is the party with God's perspective, and this omniscience makes us subconsciously on the moral high ground.
What about the little spiders?
He didn't know how much sin the villains had committed.
His hesitation, at first, was not because of kindness, but a quote from Dr. Strange:
"In the grand motion of the multiverse
Their sacrifice is much more important than their lives."
This is actually a choice thrown at the little spider by the movie and thrown to the entire audience:
Grand right, with individual concerns.
Who's right?
Only verified by action.
And after the series of "willfulness" of the little spider, he snatched away the Doctor Strange magic weapon and brought several evil people home for treatment... It's all based on the cost of the choice he made and struggled to face it.
Moreover, it is not only the little spider who makes the choice.
Toby tried.
Garfield tried.
They all ended in failure.
At last.
About Liability.
It is also the most controversial point in the movie:
Why is it the little spider who makes the choice, but it is "Aunt Mei" who dies?
You killed people, you didn't die yourself.
Virgin!
The question is, is this decision the little spider bent on going his own way?
There are two dialogues in the movie.
For the first time, when the little spider expressed to Aunt Mei that he did not want to save these villains, Aunt Mei's rhetorical questioning made him dumbfounded.
Peter, is it really none of your business?
Is this for them (the villains) or for yourself?
Aunt Mei was asking if the little spider was ready:
Are you ready to take on the identity of the hero "Spider-Man";
And whether you are ready to shoulder the responsibilities and sacrifices that come with this identity.
The second time, before Aunt May died.
In the shot that almost replicates The Death of Iron Man, the deceased maintains a high degree of consistent calmness.
Because their faith has long been firm.
Therefore, after confirming that she was injured, Aunt Mei finally said the famous saying that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".
Trace the source.
This phrase is not a heroic slogan, but a universal creed of kindness inherited from Aunt May's husband, Ben Parker, the uncle of little spiders.
Combine the movie with an easter egg:
Garfield was slightly inferior in the "Villain Comparison" session, and the other two spiders had beaten aliens and had not fought themselves.
Garfield: I'm so inferior, I'm so inferior...
Little Spider & Toby: You're awesome, you're awesome...
Not commercial blowing.
This is the charm of "Spider-Man":
The audience loves him, not because of how powerful monsters he has overthrown, how devastating crises he has solved...
And it lies in the fact that even if he knows that he is weak, he can tremble and shoulder the "responsibilities" that are beyond his "ability" every time.
Sir can understand the fans' "hate iron is not steel".
"Spider-Man 3" is not without flaws, and even the shortcomings are obvious.
But it's more of a hard injury at the Marvel production level.
Forcibly demote intelligence, ignoring the growth of the spider in the previous game; in order to piece together three generations of the same frame, the spider needs to make mistakes continuously; Marvel sacrifices the complexity of human nature for the pursuit of entertainment, thinking that evil is as quick as a cold and fever can be cured...
These shortcomings are blindly reduced to "our lady".
To put it more shallowly, it is the catharsis of the audience on the movie.
But Sir is more worried about the collective unconscious behind this phenomenon:
When did we start when we were so afraid/disgusted with kindness?
When did kindness become a "bad word"?
02
What is the difference between the Virgin and the Virgin?
"Virgin" is a religious term.
In Christian doctrine, the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus, Jesus redeemed mankind, and the Virgin Mary refers to the person who brought salvation to mankind.
This is also where its ambiguity lies:
It is a great love, a great good, that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
So in the context of the Chinese Internet, the sense of distance of the word Virgin also makes it easy to slide into heresy.
One is too kind – like the Virgin.
A person who, because of his goodness, almost leads to bad consequences - "don't be too virgin".
A person who is good does lead to bad consequences - "the Virgin harms people".
……
Translation Translation:
Kindness will suffer, it will be deceived, it will hurt... Kindness can harm people.
What is it?
Seek advantages and avoid harms, protect yourself, and make sense of the famous sayings...
stop.
Avoiding the "Virgin" may not be against goodness, but complaining about the consequences of goodness, extrapolating the cause in fact, and exhorting from God's point of view.
That's why Sir is willing to defend these works.
Contrary to wishes, it is a reflection of reality.
And the reasons why we criticize kindness are more like criticizing ourselves who are trapped in it.
Cheng Xin, she is just a symbol, representing the universal values and morality of human beings. You say that people don't like this protagonist, but in fact, people don't like themselves.
"Cheng Xin is a very ordinary normal person, and the choices she makes at every critical moment are the choices that every normal person will make, in line with universal values and moral orientation, but it is precisely this choice that pushes mankind to extinction." ——Liu Cixin
What should we really be wary of?
Or examples of works:
"Love Is Deep in the Rain", "Scumbag" He Shuhuan.
Yi Ping's father found the song hall where she sang, felt that his daughter had lost face, and quarreled in public. When He Shuhuan found out, he criticized Yi Ping for being too impersonal.
Indeed, he saw a sad father.
But it ignores a woman trapped by the times, desperate and helpless in her heart.
"Squid Game", "Virgin" Cheng Qixun.
We see that he is incompetent, lying down to win, and wants to be a savior.
The man set up too poorly
The nest is incompetent, and it is basically all lying to win
I always want to be the kindest savior
But it is difficult to see the powerlessness behind his kindness.
I have fantasized about idealism and finally been defeated by reality; I have participated in strikes and finally witnessed my colleagues die in front of my eyes; I have formed a family but cannot resist the impermanence of the world...
From an inflated little man in the city, to the last bit of luck in his life, he found that he had long been domesticated as an accomplice to the class struggle.
Kindness is his only chip in the face of the world.
These two examples tell us:
Be vigilant.
It is the numbness and hypocrisy in the name of "kindness" but does not care about oneself.
It is also a "cynicism" that tries to dissolve all existing moral order and practical dilemmas under the cover of confrontation with "hypocrisy".
03
Why be wary of the one-sided Virgin label
Don't get me wrong, Sir is not just shouting injustice for the work.
Movies are just icebergs that bubble up on the surface of the water.
Take a closer look at these reviews:
Foolishness.
Virgin.
Low intelligence.
There is nothing wrong with the criticism itself.
The problem is that this wave is more provocative than a wave:
The more simple and crude the emotional expression, the easier it is to gain a lot of recognition.
More than movies.
for public events.
Bao Yuming, Gou Jing, Lin Shengbin, Luo Guanjun... The judgment of good and evil always rushes before the facts are clear, and constantly reverses and punches the face;
For strange individuals.
The netizens who were exposed in the streaming tones of the internet violence and human flesh stood on the moral high ground and arbitrarily judged.
From the individual diagnosed, it expands to age, gender, occupation, region... Even recently, rumor-mongering has involved minors.
Let's take a closer look at the starting points of these statements:
"Be a good person".
But who defines "good"?
Indiscriminate attacks on "goodness" will eventually lead to indiscriminate abuse of "goodness."
Sakai Masato has already summed up this:
Sir would like to leave a few suggestions.
Yes, what should we do?
caution.
"The snowy eyes of the masses" and "the rabble", a difference between one thought.
Think about it before labeling, look at it more before you make a judgment, follow the trend, follow the crowd, play with the terrier, and wait before you coax.
ponder.
There is a famous line in "Towards the Republic":
Prejudice and jokes, of course.
What the people can do, the country's past achievements, has punched him in the face.
But it is precisely the people.
At present, with the help of the Internet, the emotions, prejudices, and different cognitions that are constantly amplified can easily become a wrestling field, breeding answers that run counter to the original intention.
Even if the personal conditions are limited, it is difficult to be a "saint".
At the very least, don't easily pull down the moral average.
Keep hope.
Sir certainly knows:
Today, too many massacres are in the name of justice, too many lies are cloaked in the cloak of truth, and too many beliefs are behind the interests of chickens and dogs.
But this does not mean that we have to completely transform into a pragmatist.
Abandon justice, spurn faith, and turn your back on ideals.
Two days ago, Teacher Luo Xiang once again output "brush screen golden sentences".
Sir would like to borrow a common encouragement here:
In fact, I am not fatalistic, and fatalism leads to laziness.
"At the same time, I personally don't really believe in the heavenly reward, which can lead people to pride or nothingness. When you succeed, you feel like you're working hard, you deserve it all, so you look down on those who fail. But when you have worked hard and struggled, and in the end you still fail, or you have achieved nothing, you will fall into a great complaint, and you will think that the heavenly way is unfair. ”
"I think 95% of the things in life may be something you can't decide on your own, but we still have to use 5% of our efforts to leverage the 95% of the things you can't decide, and do everything to the best of your ability." 」
Why can this passage brush the screen?
On the one hand, it is introspection.
It lowers its identity, openly faces its own heart, and reveals the dark side of human nature that we are ashamed to admit;
On the one hand, it is self-respect.
Reality is hard.
In particular, a series of natural and man-made disasters, existential crises, and emotional sequelae in the context of the epidemic.
Today that controllable 5%.
Seems to be gradually compressed to 3%, 2%, 1% ...
If we say, this is the last bit of hope that we can grasp as ordinary people.
so.
What can make us insist and go beyond this 1% to do our best?
Perhaps, the only way to do "good" is to do it.
