When we are considered wrong in our daily life, we naturally have a set of right standards as a reference, and because we refer to this standard, we can conclude that we are wrong. This is an objective fact, but does the setting of standards need to be objective? Nature needs objectivity, different regions have different standards, the same thing naturally because different regions have different standards, no standard is universal, if you can't see the objective facts, naturally you can't understand this theory.
The Brazil comedy film "Universal Hairstylist" recommended to you today tells the same standard story. The children who mingle in the slums of Brazil have a dream of inheriting their own family barbershop and loving it as much as their father did. However, the child's mother did not realize that dreams need to be maintained. The mother insisted that the child should go to college and leave here to achieve more glory, but there is nothing more attractive for the child than to fulfill his dream, not to mention that his mother is facing a kind of pressure at this moment, because they will be cleared out by the landlord because of the rent arrears.
Faced with the contradiction between dreams and reality, the child met a chance opportunity, he needed to decide whether he wanted to stick to his dream, or obey his mother, leave the family and go elsewhere to make a living.
As a Brazil film, we originally thought that we could understand the daily life of the Brazilian people through this film, but this film is a comedy, although the comedy has an exaggerated interpretation, but the topic of this film is not strange to Chinese at all. Home or far, which can bring you hope?
This is the primary question faced by the people of developing countries, how to choose the best for their hometown and their future? Why is there such a contradiction, because the vast number of developing countries have long followed the reference model of a better life, that is, the modernization of the United States and Europe and other Western developed countries, if they want to achieve such modernization, they naturally need to implement it according to their standards, so in the end, what we see is that young people in developing countries have to leave their hometowns to live in big cities.
Why do they want to live in big cities? Because under the system of economic globalization, if any developing country wants to achieve modernization, it must make its own resources, capital and labor factors highly concentrated, so how can these factors of productivity be highly concentrated? It is necessary to find a central city to accommodate these elements in order to get the most convenient and least costly allocation. The capitals or port cities of developing countries have become clusters of these elements without exception, so that a large number of young people will gather in these places.
The slums in this film naturally do not have any employment at all, so the future and hope of the child's mother are naturally to want her son to jump out of the slum by going to university, so as to go elsewhere for greater development, but the final result of this is that the slum has lost a lot of labor resources and has become more and more impoverished.
Capital does not flow to the slums, so as a labor force, it is natural to flow towards capital, and the final result is the slow decay of the children's hometowns, which is the irreversible impact of the current modernization of developed countries on developing countries. The background of this film is the decline of Brazil under this influence. When the siphon effect of big cities becomes more and more obvious, the small cities and the hometown of the male protagonist in the film will decay, and the decayed hometown will naturally be rampant with the underworld and the economy will collapse. That's why his mother's barbershop is getting worse every day. Although the film gives a happy ending, he not only realized his dream of becoming a barber, but also received an acceptance letter from the university. But everyone knows what the next story means.
If the government does not tilt resources towards small cities to neutralize the siphon effect of large cities, then developing countries will eventually fall into the poverty dilemma of this film. There will be one or two big cities that are no different from the big cities in the developed world, but the vast majority of people will still inevitably fall into poverty. This is the impact of the modernization standards of developed countries such as the United States and Europe in developing countries, which is definitely not a comedy that can be resolved.
What is the life of all the young people in this film? Unrestricted entertainment, it seems that his future has nothing to do with him, or gangster crimes and drug-related pornography and so on. Even if this film uses a comedic way to largely resolve the background of this film, anyone can see that for Brazil, a country with a very good resource environment, the population is small and the arable land area is also a lot, but what is the source of the problem of hunger?
What Brazil needs is to set its own development strategy according to its own actual situation, rather than obeying the standards proposed by other countries to guide its own economic development, and the male protagonist in the film has an attitude of rejection of white missionary in itself, and behind this rejection is not only the disgust of Christ, but the disgust of the international development system formulated by the West. But can this disgust translate into Brazil's own path? This is the focus of this film and this issue.
