From rumor to rumor, it was finally stamped by Ping An Beijing Senior:
Drugs, let the "most beautiful" wither.
Chen Yufan has become another star in the drug-taking camp.
Before him, there were Ke Zhendong, Fang Zuming, Wang Xuebing, Ning Caishen, Zhang Mo, Li Daimo...
Many singers and actors who are popular with the masses of the people have successively become negative examples in anti-drug propaganda films.
And their acting careers are also interrupted or ended.
The banning of drug stars has become a consensus that does not require the endorsement of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
No one expected that the Hazumi combination would end in this way.
There are many films about cracking down on drug trafficking in China, such as "Operation Mekong", "Disciple", "Drug War", etc., and the life of drug dealers to survive will often make viewers break out in a cold sweat.
Films about drug dealers tend to be "legendary", and even to some extent they are portrayed as "gangsters".
The old white in "Breaking Bad", the lame hao in "Chasing the Dragon", and the felix in "Narcos", they wear suits and collars, strategize, break through the existing social rules to complete the class jump and the diaosi counterattack.
(Felix in Narcos)
We love watching the stories of the strong.
However, the people who support the pyramid-like life of these drug lords are the ants-like addicts at the bottom.
Their daily, frenzied and restlessness is exploited layer by layer.
Do some people have the idea that "smoking is a bit cool" floating through their minds during the first bite?
For this, I would like to recommend films that focus on smokers, although it is tragic, but this is the truth:
Suction, there is not even the slightest benefit -
Requiem for Dreams
requiem for a dream
This 2000 movie ranked among the top 250 doubans.
The director is Darren Aronofsky, who is also the director of Black Swan.
The stars are two very beautiful people: Young Master Leto (Jared Leto) and Jennifer Connery (the little girl dancing in Once Upon a Time in America).
The two play a couple, Harry and Marion, the former a college graduate and the latter the daughter of a rich man.
However, both are addicts.
They dream of opening a clothing store and living an ordinary and warm life of having children.
Where does the cost come from?
Drug trafficking.
Harry and his friends together, because of accidental contact with a batch of higher purity goods, earned the first bucket of gold.
Soon, however, the money was overwhelmed by their larger demand for smoking, and the deposit box bottomed out.
Desperate to take the risk again, in exchange for the gangster's firefight, to escape from death.
On the other hand, Marion had to sell her body and do low self-esteem because of a drug addiction attack.
In the end, Harry loses his left arm from an overdose, and Marion degenerates into the most despicable sex performer.
The temperament of "Requiem for Dreams" is particularly unique, because the director uses many unconventional shooting methods to show the addict's distorted, alienated, and uneasy spiritual world.
The heavy use of soft light, the dreamlike fairy tale sense contrasts with the cruelty of the subject.
Holding a wide-angle lens, it presents an inflated and restless perspective, as if these people are out of place with the world around them.
Of course, the most brilliant thing is its sharp editing, the compressed needle, the instantly dilated pupils, the lips that bite open the drug bag, and the flowing blood vessels... Piece together moments of frenzy and fear when smoking.
Near the end of the film, accompanied by a sharp soundtrack, the parallel editing of four clues finally pushes the character's sense of loss of control to a crazy climax.
Forcing you to have nowhere to go.
People like me who have a relatively rich amount of movies are also holding up with perseverance in the end.
It was so desperate, like dying once.
So some people say that this is a great anti-drug movie.
This tragedy is so shocking precisely because the two protagonists were originally so fresh and beautiful.
This beauty is still poetic.
And we have a domestic documentary "Brother Dragon", which shows an unadorned world: ordinary people, even as drug addicts, are mediocre and messy.
The director of "Brother Dragon" is named Zhou Hao, who once won the Golden Horse Award for "Datong".
Zhou Hao has an extraordinary ability to "grasp" reality, and he miraculously enters the life of Ah Long and Ah Jun, a drug-addicted couple, and intermittently records their secret lives for several years.
At the beginning of the film, Aaron tells Zhou Hao that he has made up his mind to quit this time.
The method is to wrap the quilt on the bed of an inn, lay down the pillow, and lie dry.
However, the young man in the next bed still injected three times a day.
In the past, the addicts in the movies we saw were like Zhang Jingchu played in "The Disciple", feeling particularly manic, and after finishing, they seemed to be particularly hi-yo.
But this is not the case at all in the documentary.
It was the first time I'd seen a real addict injecting regularly like a meal, then slowly walking to the bed and describing his nose as a little numb to the person next to me.
In that way, Mrs. Mrs. Bland.
It is not as enthusiastic as the average foodie to talk about a bowl of braised pork.
Before the needle could be pulled, he began to nag about stealing a box of shoes before, and the 10 yuan pair was also bargained, and the last 30 pairs of shoes sold for less than 200 yuan.
See, even if it is a drug, it still does not reduce his troubles.
Aaron's detoxification routine is also quite plain, smoking a cigarette and nagging you, like an ordinary person with broken feet, lying on the bed numbly recuperating.
The scene in "Requiem for Dreams" in which Marion finally goes to the club to sell spring is very crazy;
Ah Jun in "Brother Dragon" finally wanted to find a job in the sauna, but in fact, there was no way out, and people didn't want her.
Good irony, bleakly there is no light at all.
I also think that the addict sacrifices such a big price, is it something else?
It turned out that this was nothing more than a weak man, blindly thrown into a swamp that made him even weaker, and finally shrunk into a dry mess of walking dead, and the slightest splash could not be raised.
The so-called pleasure of addiction, over time, is only a temporary relief from the elimination of pain.
It's like you've been standing for too long and suddenly being able to sit down and feel comfortable;
It's like when you're hungry for three days and suddenly have a mouthful of white rice to eat, wow the most delicious thing in the world.
This is very similar to the addiction to tobacco, and it is impossible to quit, not because the cigarette itself is delicious, but because it is too uncomfortable not to smoke.
And originally, you are not uncomfortable.
Don't believe that there is any easy happiness in this world, and the happiness of unearned happiness will eventually pay a price.
