Chapter 1131 Film Review

Film Review - "Revolt Under High Pressure"

Absolute power will lead to absolute corruption, and absolute worship will lead to absolute madness.

Sutler's government is a government under high pressure that strongly demands a cult of personality, and the whole country revolves around Sutler's will, living under such a government, people have no guns, no weapons, and in the face of the government's high-pressure policy, they can only suppress themselves and mock public opinion.

All those who resisted were suppressed, they were arrested by the secret police, and everything that was different was an outlier, and this was the age of assimilation, and it was necessary to act according to the "normal" prescribed by Sutler.

But Sutler forgets that everyone cannot be assimilated into the same, and that the world is diverse, so there are differences.

When a clever and crazy outlier appears, the world is out of control.

At his insistence, the people began to rebel.

The revolt is silent.

Silence has great power.

If God wants people to perish, he must first make them mad.

Under the pressure of V, Sutler went crazy, so it led to his tragedy and also ushered in a new life for the whole society.

Jiang used this story to describe in detail the horror of a dictatorship, and also told us that such a result.

I can imagine that Jiang had a lot of pressure to shoot such a movie, but I heard that China's Internet has a wall, so isn't that just like shown in this movie, the people in power want everyone to close their eyes and cover their ears, but they can never hide their thoughts.

The idea that the mind has power, freedom, should be in everyone's heart.

Not compromising, not being a silent and mediocre person, is the idea that Jiang conveys with such a movie.

Under high pressure, there will be resistance, and the longer the silence, the more fierce the resistance.

Film Review - "Mysterious V"

In "V for Vendetta", the most mysterious is undoubtedly the male protagonist V, we don't know who he is.

I searched the credits and couldn't find the actor he played.

It is conceivable that this is a trick that director Jiang is playing.

The whole movie is about the last thought, the idea.

V is not a person, it is an immortal thought, an immortal idea, it is a symbol of freedom, it is a symbol of resistance, it is a symbol of intransigence.

Jiang may think that it is unfair to tie such a symbolic character as V to an actor, so he did not announce the actor of V.

Each of us is a V, the face under the mask.

Perhaps in the future world, there will really be an organization like the Northern Fire that will reappear, ruling a country, closing everyone's eyes and ears, and making people live in falsehood and fear.

I hope that at that time, there will be people like V who will awaken everyone's yearning for freedom and love.

Jiang spent 130 minutes passing on to us an idea that we should have love, great love, and hope for the world.

The strength of one person may be thin, but the strength of thousands of people is powerful.

Ideas do not perish, as long as free ideas are spreading, V will not die, he is each of us, and he is also an eternal and immortal thought.

Film Review - "I Can't Make This Decision"

V is an Avenger.

Jiang devotes a lot of space to V's past, and his series of actions are all about revenge, but he succeeds in arousing people's desire for freedom.

This is not a movie that fights violence with violence, this is V's revenge, but in the end it is not V's revenge.

At the beginning of the movie, it was indeed just V's revenge, but through the deepening of the movie, Ivey's conversation with V made V completely understand that although he was under the banner of helping the people, he was still selfish in revenge.

So, at the end of the movie, V chooses to commit suicide.

Let's recap the conversation there.

V: No, no more trickery, no more lies, just facts. The truth is, you made it clear to me that I was wrong. Understand that the decision to switch under the board should not be made by me.

Ivey: Why?

V: Because this world, the world of which I am a part, the world that I helped to shape, will die tonight, and tomorrow, it will be a different world, and it will be shaped by different people, and this decision should be made by them.

It may seem a little difficult to understand here, but it's actually not that hard to understand.

The world that V helped to shape was to arouse the desire for freedom in people's hearts, the rebellion against dictatorship, this is the world he shaped, but the world he created will disappear today, because this night, everyone will rebel successfully, and tomorrow everyone will not have to rebel against dictatorship, it is a new world.

The new world, there should be people in the new world to make decisions.

V can't come and make that decision.

Ivy didn't understand, she wanted to leave with V, but V didn't agree, he should be on the other side of the tunnel, not on this side.

So, in the end, V chose death, why did he choose death?

Because he suddenly found that his great prestige among the people could easily turn him into a second Sutler if he did not die, and he could not become such a person, therefore, he could only die.

He is dead, the mind will continue, he will not die, the so-called new world is just a joke.

V must die and fly into the sky with the Capitol, perhaps for him, for the best ending.

Film Review - "Jiang's Ambition"

"V-Word Vendetta" is a very good movie, and it is Jiang's most ambitious film so far.

Jiang Xia, who has been shortlisted for the Oscars several times, has never been able to win the best director or the best screenplay, only some painless awards.

But Jiang is a stubborn person, and he doesn't want to hit the Oscars with academic movies.

He chose such a film full of violence, but the ideas were absolutely profound, and after meeting the market demand, it also met the ideas of the Oscar judges.

More importantly, this is an English-language film.

Jiang's films shortlisted for the Oscars are all Chinese films, and the award that can really impact, the most realistic award, is the best foreign language film.

So this time, he chose an English-language film and used an English-language film to hit the Oscars.

Believe it or not, I really saw Jiang's ambition to hit the Oscars from such an R-rated movie, and even I think that if this year's Oscar Best Director is not given to Jiang, it will be the biggest shady.

V's thoughts are too profound, and V's hope is too profound, especially in the end, when everyone takes off their masks and the dead are resurrected, standing there looking at the fireworks, that kind of thinking shock is indescribable.

Perhaps, we will see an R-rated movie that may win an Oscar?

I support Jiang.
