Chapter 435: There are infinite possibilities in life
Liu Yuan's version of "Truman's World", Zhang Sheng has already seen the finished film.
I've made so many movies, although I'm basically working as a porter.
But movies are not like music, moving and succeeding, but you need skills.
Zhang Sheng is definitely an excellent filmmaker now.
He naturally has a high appreciation for the quality of movies.
He naturally knows what the quality of the movie is.
Definitely no worse than the original.
The appearance of Deng Ming, Shen Bo and others is definitely bringing the role to life.
The interaction before the start of the movie ends quickly.
After Zhang Sheng and the others sat down, they soon started playing.
Every day at Truman begins with saying good morning to his neighbors.
He lives in the isolated island of Taoyuan and has been a child of a few families since he was a child.
Studying, working, falling in love, getting married, and ...... every day Live a life that every ordinary person is accustomed to.
For the average person, this seems to be a good thing.
As everyone knows, such a superficial happiness and stability is behind a well-planned scam.
For 30 years, Truman's life has been broadcast live 24 hours a day.
The people he meets, the things he experiences, and even all the emotions he has come from the careful design of the chief director.
From what kind of person you fall in love with, get married, or start a family, to what style of clothes you like and what type of books you like to read.
These are all well-written scripts.
In order to meet the expectations of the audience, he was arranged to have excellent grades and a polite literary quality; Arranged to work decently and have a happy family.
In order to maintain the operation of the show, he was arranged to be shipwrecked at a young age, and since then he has been afraid to go to sea, so he can only stay on the island for decades.
"Terrible!"
Many people see this with only two words in their minds.
Jiang Bin and the others glanced at each other and didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.
Is Truman's world hypocritical and terrible?
Life is so manipulated!
Lovers and friends are fake, work and life are fake, and even what you think is fake.
Imprisoned in a false world, unaware, let alone self-helping.
"Words of life?"
Jiang Bin seemed to have thought of something.
How many people in this world are not like Truman?
It's just that you control yourself and the difference in the movie.
We seem to be used to it every day!
How many people, under the "expectations" of society and parents, have imprisoned themselves into what the outside world loves to see?
On the surface, each life node is a choice made by itself;
But in fact, everything is secretly labeled with the optimal solution.
Many people spend their lives as Trumans who are unaware of the truth.
"I seem to be a Truman too!"
Jiang Bin suddenly muttered, and then laughed.
Zhang Guohua and Chen Jinghua were stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.
Why aren't they?
Or how could they not have been!
The film continues.
Originally, Truman could have lived peacefully like this forever.
Until one day, he was surprised to find that his father, who had long since died, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again.
People around him said that he had seen it wrong, that he was too tired, and that he was hallucinating.
But after careful recollection, Truman found that life revealed weirdness everywhere:
The beautiful first love she met in college was suddenly taken away by her father;
I want to leave home to find the girl I love, but my mother suddenly becomes seriously ill and needs to be taken care of;
After that, whenever he wanted to leave the island, he either had no ticket on the plane, or he encountered an accident, and even the police came forward to stop him.
This outrageous thing seems to remind him that someone is controlling his life.
He began to try to escape from the cage.
If you can't buy a ticket, then drive; If you are stopped by the police, then sail out to sea; Storms at sea, then overcome the fear in your heart.
A mind always hovered in his head: "I'm going out, I'm going out." ”
At this point in the film, many people who are slow to respond also have a feeling:
In reality, isn't each of us a Truman?
Since birth, under the eyes of the outside world, he has been shaped into a standardized "good child", "good student" and "good lover".
But if you think about it, have you become yourself, or have you become a puppet of someone else's words and deeds?
Did you live for 10 years, or did you repeat the day for 10 years?
Do you make your own decisions in life, or are you always confined to rules?
It's scary to think about!
It's really a movie that makes people think.
Life is not a track, but a wilderness to explore.
There is only one life, and finding your destination in someone else's map is destined to be a futile rush.
At any time, the choice of life will always be in your own hands.
In the first half of the film, it is about Truman's search for the truth, which is still the instinct of human curiosity; In the second half, the choices he made in the face of the world were the reasons why he became a "hero".
When Truman went through all the hardships to cross the sea he once feared, opened the door to the outside world, and finally met the "mastermind" who controlled his life, the other party told him:
The outside world is as false as the world I gave you, with the same lies, the same frauds. But in my world, you don't have to be afraid of anything, I know yourself better than you, and now you're scared, so you can't go.
At this time, the camera focuses on Truman again.
Truman insisted on his determination to get out of Taoyuan Island, and left a classic scene in film history: he said the line that he repeated to his neighbors in the morning to the camera that had been watching him for twenty-nine years: Good morning, in case I can't see you, I wish you a good afternoon and a good evening.
This is the sublimation part of the film, and at the same time it is the ultimate interpretation of truth.
What is real?
Is it to reach the other side without hesitation?
Is it to tell the truth about the desperation?
Is it Truman's smile at the final curtain call?
Maybe it's the bitterness and saltiness of all living beings.
There is a design throughout the film: a lens language that is different from the normal film screen perspective.
Such a design seems to remind us that we are watching Truman, and that we are the audience of this reality show.
At the same time, in order to render the sense of distance between people and Truman in reality, in the footage of the audience watching Truman's show outside the venue, Truman always appears on the TV and is framed by a frame.
These designs have always reminded us of the unreality of the world in which Truman lives, and at the same time reflect the director's superb camera skills.
Of course, these were mentioned when Zhang Sheng and Liu Yuan were discussing.
At the end of the movie, the applause lasted for a while.
It's not that the movie isn't good enough.
Rather, everyone fell into one thought.
A question that Zhang Sheng raised before:
will pretend not to know, and continue to be confused in the familiar illusion; Or is it desperate to break through the cage and search for the truth in an unfamiliar reality?
The crowd didn't know how to answer for a while.
They feel that they are also "Truman", and they are all living in a script woven by the outside world.
The expectations of our parents, the direction of public opinion, and the stereotypes of society all hinder our choices.
We always want to be directors of life, but most of the time we are just actors with superb acting skills.
Leaving the comfort zone is not easy for anyone, especially Truman, who has never seen the real world.
But he still firmly chose to leave.
Although it means shattering and reshaping everything of the past thirty years, struggling to survive in a strange world.
But he still doesn't want to live in a world full of deception and lies, and he doesn't want to be at the mercy of others all the time.
He wants to find the truth of the world, and he wants to direct his own life.
But not everyone has the courage to face the naked truth after scrutiny.
Many of us don't have the courage of him.
The comfort zone can certainly provide a haven from the wind, but many times, it has also become a constraint for us to draw the ground as a prison.
Just like many people in our lives, they are tired of the immutability of work in the system, and on the other hand, they are reluctant to bring the stability and dignity brought by the iron rice bowl;
When the changes in the outside world suddenly came, I found that I had lost the courage and ability to adapt.
Most people are afraid to leave the false world of Truman.
Only a very small number of brave people dare to escape from the "world of Truman" and live their true selves.
Leaving your comfort zone can be difficult, but only by pushing open the door of inertia and taking steps into the wider world will you discover:
In fact, there are infinite possibilities in life.
Truman?
Out?
Get out of the door of inertia.
Perhaps Zhang Sheng had already given the answer to his question when he took this door.
At the end of the movie, Zhang Sheng and other main creators took the stage again to be interviewed by the media.
However, Zhang Sheng seems to have deliberately lowered his presence.
It's just that the media doesn't seem to let him go.
"Director Zhang, do you think you're Truman?" A reporter asked, "What is it that invisibly controls you?" ”
"Me?" Zhang Sheng said, "Maybe it's more or less, right? For example, I wanted to take Sisi shopping, but we were too hot and afraid of causing a riot, so we had to give up. ”
When the reporters heard this, they felt that something was wrong.
But don't know how to refute it?
Zhang Sheng's words should have revealed helplessness, but why did they sound a bit like they were in Versailles?
Too hot?
Who doesn't want to be popular in the entertainment industry!
If no one can know which celebrity goes shopping, I'm afraid that's not what he wants!
Still, those reporters didn't dwell on it.
"After we get married, we will go abroad, and when the time comes, go shopping with me, don't say tired!"
After the premiere, on the way back, Gu Sisi said to Zhang Sheng with a smile.
"I'm also very popular abroad." Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said.
Shopping?
Zhang Sheng, a person who practices martial arts, has amazing physical strength.
But he really didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to visit Gu Sisi.
"You don't have a lot of exposure abroad." Gu Sisi said, "I really thought that when you walked on the street, how many people would recognize you." For many foreigners, Chinese faces are the same. ”
When Zhang Sheng heard this, he smiled, and then nodded.
Gu Sisi's words were a bit exaggerated.
However, on the streets abroad, it is estimated that there are not too many people who can recognize him.
If you go shopping or something, you really won't have any problems.
Of course, even if there is a question, there is no need to refute it at this time.
Thinking about how long he has been with Gu Sisi, it seems that he has really never gone shopping with her.
Is there a man who hasn't gone shopping with his girlfriend?
Estimates are few.
Zhang Sheng didn't want to be one of them.
