Yi chu hao xi (2018)
A movie produced with a great purpose in a special year
I am a Chinese received education in China, US and Hong Kong SAR.
Raised in a wealthy family, I never really had much concerns in money. It brought me a special, 'stupid' perspective about life, families, humanity.
According to Peter Thiel's view, 99% of Chinese are sharing 'Definite Pessimism' in recent decades. Besides those sophisticate reasons, what I saw is that, brotherhood, family love, friendship, every single kinds of love is being polluted by something invisible.
People are all taking it as 'reality'.
But still, even though almost everyone I know are telling me I have to surrender to 'reality', I am glad there is such a movie out there, produced by a well-known actor in China, that it dares to 'put a light in the darkness'. Believe me, this actor is wealthy enough to stay away from this 'pessimism', he can easily choose to be one of the rests, who chose to live like a 'winner' of Chinese society. But he didn't.
To this movie, if you want to dig into those details, to judge how a movie should be, then I hope you had a good time from judging people to collect 'good feeling'.
However, I really wish people can learn from this movie, or all other great movies, books, songs, from those sublime artists.
If you close your eyes, shut your ears, fade away from everything you have, and just feel it, feel this universe, it is hard but if you can do it, then you will know how cold it is, how quiet it is and how crucial it is in this space so called 'the Universe'.
If you see human from a perspective on the moon, you will know how pathetic humanity is, and know why 'love' is so important for human race. Just like what this movie is trying to show us.
There is no single 'God', but look at our great human race had accomplished, our race is the only real 'God'.
Love makes us sublime, and selfishness will destroy us.
