When everyone talks about the rules, the whole world will naturally take on a new look. Our ideal world is actually not complicated, the complex is the human heart, when the world runs with the simplest principle, all problems will be solved, but the complexity of reality will be quickly added with the flow of time, therefore, people will always shape a stage in history for themselves to look up, it seems that only that stage is in line with people's imagination of the ideal country, but time will not stop because of this, and the years will not come back.
The film "The Great Phantom" recommended to you today is a movie based on this imagination. This film depicts the escape of three French people from prison in a prison during World War I and a prison in Germany. This is a film about the theme of prison escape, and even with many classic prison escape works later, such as "The Hole", such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and so on, you can find your own shadow from this film, but the core of this film is not prison escape, but a group of people from different countries in Europe at that time, in the face of war, believe in the same logic, they are tired of war, just like we are tired of going to work in contemporary times, under the cover of such a common idea, the people in the film, whether they are prisoners or prison guards, they all have an emotion and can find a balance between friend and foe.
Regarding the classic prison escape film, I will not repeat it here, but about the background of World War I at that time, the people of different European countries had the same attitude, what attitude, anti-war. Anti-war is at the heart of the film, and the core of the film is still revelatory to contemporary people. The anti-war we understand now always focuses on stating a fact to the audience, and this fact itself does not need to be stated, because contemporary anti-war is more of a whitewashing crime with a certain ideological color, the most common is the Vietnam War film, almost every Vietnam War film shot by the Americans is to whitewash itself from various angles, which is the basic logic of modern anti-war films.
But in this film, this logic seems to be a different way of thinking, or another logic, in this film, there is no good or bad, right or wrong, war for these participants in the film, just like our contemporary work, they still have due respect in prison in addition to the restriction of personal freedom.
This is not like the German concentration camps in World War II, the German concentration camps in World War I depicted in this film tend to be a kind of established department, which assumes the role of receiving prisoners of war, and what the camp guards have to do is to live in harmony with the prisoners of war and maintain the daily life of these prisoners of war to the greatest extent. It's an extraordinary scene, but this scene shows a kind of harmony in the film's depiction. This means that this film is very strange as an anti-war film, of course, this is strange from the eyes of contemporary people, and it is also acceptable for people at the time, because the atrocities in World War I are limited, and people's slaughter of each other has not risen to the level of inhumanity like during World War II.
When people agree to abide by some principles, the whole world still runs smoothly under the premise that there are rules to follow, and the main reason why people later become non-abiding by some principles and rules is that those who break the rules are not punished for this, but gain benefits. When this thought began to pervade, the rules of the whole world began to crumble.
Recall that every fact in the various historical stages actually happened like this. The current rules are becoming more and more chaotic, and people are more and more nostalgic for the rules of the past, and the existence of this film is a kind of nostalgia, and what are we doing at the same time? What are we experiencing? The Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937 made the Japanese invaders evolve from the original invasion of Northeast China to a full-scale invasion of China. World War II began in Asia, and it was not until late 1939 that the Germans blitzed Poland. World War II broke out in full swing on the European battlefield, and the European aristocrats at this time realized that the original reasonable German army began to tear up the rules and became unrestrained, and the tacit understanding between the unrestrained German army and the old European aristocrats who adhered to a certain moral code was torn apart, so the German army began to be invincible on the European battlefield.
In the film, everyone is doing what they should do according to a conventional logic, the operation of the entire prison system is very smooth, and there is a tacit understanding between the prisoners of war in the prison and the prison guards, which is based on mutual respect, but when World War II started, this tacit understanding was removed, and people found out at this time that the old nobles maintained their noble image, while the new barbarians received more benefits by destroying the image, so, in World War II, people began to be reluctant to maintain their disguises, and blood naturally became synonymous.
Therefore, the meaning of the existence of this film is also a kind of wake-up call to a certain extent, people seem to prefer everything to follow, but in real life, no one can make the rules synonymous with us, when the rules do not bind everyone well, will the maintenance of the rules be respected? When someone benefits from breaking the rules, are there any ways to punish those who uphold the rules? If not, what is the meaning of the existence of the rules? Of course, the rules that are only used to restrain the obedient seem to need to be improved.
