The famous words of Giuseppe tornado

Readers:

1, Life and Death Reading is a group of British stage plays in 2008, which is adapted from the novel The Reader written by Bernhard Schlink in 1995. The story tells that a German teenager Michael and a middle-aged woman Hannah started an unforgettable love affair in the 1950 s, but Hannah soon left without saying goodbye. Michael later became a young lawyer. When he met Hannah again, she became the defendant in the war crimes trial because of her behavior as a guard in the concentration camp in the late war. Michael knows that Hannah has always had a secret that she thinks is worse than her previous Nazi era, which is enough to refute the accusation against her. However, Michael's temporary hesitation cast a lifelong regret on them.

2, study life and death.

Forgiveness is unforgivable-Derrida

(1) Hannah Schmitch committed suicide in prison the day before she was freed. With great grief and guilt, Mike Berg walked into her cell. The recording tapes he sent her were neatly placed on the bookshelf, and there were some books she borrowed after she learned to read and write.

Among the books that Schmitz has read, there is a famous political philosopher hannah arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem-A Report on the Evil of Mediocrity.

Eichmann is the director of Class B-4 of the Fourth Bureau of the Third Reich Security Headquarters. He once sent millions of Jews to concentration camps through his expertise in railway transportation. At the end of the war, there were not enough wagons, so Eichmann asked the arrested people to walk to the death camp by themselves.

Arendt (a Jew) attended the trial of Eichmann in Jerusalem as a special correspondent for The New Yorker. To Arendt's shock, this "killer" looks no different from ordinary people, and acts respectfully, even like a gentleman.

In Eichmann, Arendt saw: "The evil of mediocrity is terrible, indescribable and unimaginable."

Eichmann is indeed a dedicated, rigorous and diligent official. He is immersed in schedules, reports, statistics of wagons and heads every day, and his work efficiency is very high. The "national rationality" of the Third Reich completely dominated and legalized the behavior of "mediocre" bureaucrats like Eichmann. He repeatedly stressed that he was just a pinion in a huge system.

Arendt believes that most people who made Nazi crimes come true have this "mediocrity" feature, and they easily gave up their right to personal judgment. Under the evil totalitarian rule, the disaster caused by people's rashness can far exceed the sum of the harm of people's evil instincts. This is a lesson to be learned from Jerusalem.

(2) Hannah is really "mediocre" because she can't read and tries to cover it up with lies. In other words, because Hannah can't read and write (illiterate), she can't get normal dignity from culture and its social order, and then she regards covering up this failure as the dignity itself that she has been desperately defending all her life.

Hannah is keen on listening and reading aloud. The stronger her yearning for the beautiful things in the cultural world, the stronger her disgust and fear of her illiteracy. These are two sides of the same feeling. This made her almost crazy to embark on a road of maintaining and pursuing dignity, so she did not hesitate to lie and abandoned her job and people who loved her.

This traumatic dignity runs through Hannah's life and constitutes her spiritual core. This basic feature fundamentally determines that she is first and foremost a sympathetic image.

Compared with Eichmann who gave up personal thinking, judgment and dignity as a literate "expert", Hannah is pursuing what Eichmann gave up easily, although the starting point of this pursuit is very low and full of difficulties. One of the biggest difficulties was the numbness prevailing in Germany at that time, which Hannah obviously could not surpass.

This numbness pervades criminals and victims in concentration camps; It pervades the judges and defendants in the court; It permeates every ordinary person's life. The novel shows this key content more clearly than the movie, in which only one defendant knits a sweater in court.

In concentration camps, whether prisoners or guards want to continue their lives and live day by day, they have to regard gas chambers and cremators-killing and death-as part of their daily lives, underestimate their functions, and let numbness occupy them like being injected with anesthetics or drunk.

On the basis of this common numbness, they formed a cooperative relationship to make evil daily. In this environment, the basic ethical issues such as right and wrong, good and evil, life and death have disappeared, leaving only the daily care of all kinds of work.

Hannah's misfortune is that on her paranoid but respectable road, before she became a literate and dignified person, before she could think about human dignity, she had to face the cruel test of human dignity-she failed to save the Jews in the church, which was cruel and sinful, but it was in line with her thinking and action ability at that time and everything that the environment easily imposed on an illiterate.

(3) Is the experiment enough for Hannah?

Labels such as "Nazi", "murderer" and "female guards in concentration camps" are too big and too heavy for Hannah, a humble illiterate. Hannah may never have accurately understood the meaning of these words. However, these labels are enough for most people to judge her before getting to know her.

In court, Hannah told the truth that she obviously knew nothing about the rules of the game and the expression of herself and others. She didn't know that guilt or innocence, sentencing or release in a mediocre court often depended on these superficial things.

In the whole trial process, people of all identities are full of excuses, lies, strategies and calculations, but they lack in-depth thinking about human nature and devotion to justice. Hannah was finally found guilty and severely sentenced because she insisted on hiding her illiteracy. An accidental factor brought the trial to a successful conclusion.

The trial never touched on Hannah's really important content (Hannah's refusal was only one reason). The word "understanding" that Mike said at the seminar is very weak. Many people will confidently ask, is it really necessary for us to understand a "cold female guard in a Nazi concentration camp"?

Hannah is indeed guilty, but this does not mean that the judge can simply punish her on the basis of abstract charges and simply apply the law. If the trial is not based on the true understanding of all the particularities of "this one" defendant, but on the game (the balance between various calculations), this trial cannot be fair.

Derrida, a French philosopher and Jew, pointed out when thinking about law and justice: "If a judge wants to make a fair judgment, he can't be satisfied with just citing the law. He or she must rewrite the law every time. " In other words, "to reshape a just relationship under unique circumstances means that justice cannot be reduced to the calculation of restraint, punishment or reward." What is right or legal may be unjust. "

The verdict on Hannah is "correct or legal" and "unfair" at the same time.

Understanding Hannah is not to exempt her from sin and punishment, but to make the law really have a personal and just relationship with her particularity, otherwise the trial will become violence, or even just the violence of the winner against the loser. Arendt believes that in order to judge Nazi crimes fairly, general domestic laws are invalid, and we must create new laws on the basis of in-depth thinking about human dignity.

Hannah's image calls for justice, not just sympathy.

(4)

So, is Mike enough for Hannah?

The relationship between Mike and Hannah accurately shows the complex love-hate relationship between the older generation in Germany and the younger generation who experienced World War II, faced Nazi crimes or cooperated or were silent or numb.

"When I try to understand, I have a feeling that the crimes that should be condemned have become less reprehensible. There is no room for understanding when I should condemn. I want both: understanding and condemnation. However, these two will not work. " This novel expresses such complicated feelings.

Among them, the most important thing is Mike's two silences: the first time, Mike knew that Hannah was illiterate, but he didn't tell the court the truth and chose silence; The second time, Hannah learned to read and write in prison and wrote a scrawled but hopeful letter to Mike, but Mike chose silence and didn't give Hannah the most needed response.

In the first silence, the worst possible reason is that Mike doesn't want Hannah to be exempted from crime because of her intervention and return to his daily life; The best possibility is that Mike feels that exposing her illiteracy is tantamount to ruining her, and silence is to respect her decision; Or both or more complicated. In the second silence, Mike needs to care about more realistic factors.

In Mike's silence, we can even see the numbness described above. This numbness is the price to pay for continuing daily life. "Only in this way can I return to my daily life and continue to live in this life."

The only thing Mike does is keep sending Hannah his own reading tapes. This is the only place for Mike to contact Hannah among many contradictions. At this point, reading aloud has changed from face to face between the original bodies to abstract words. Reading continues, but love disappears. Hannah finally learned to read and write through tapes, but in the end she didn't get real understanding (justice) and forgiveness.

Hannah didn't save the Jews, and Mike didn't save Hannah. In the face of sin, in all kinds of fetters of life, Mike has no courage to face his former love again, let alone to turn love into real forgiveness.

Derrida said that forgiveness is "impossible to forgive". He means that every concrete practice (realization) of real forgiveness will break the original experience and boundaries about what can be forgiven and what can't be forgiven (deconstructing the original possibility of forgiveness), just as every concrete realization of justice will require the re-application and even invention of the law (deconstructing the original possibility of application), just as true love is to love those things that surpass you and update you (deconstructing self-identity), otherwise it will just love yourself in disguise (narcissism).

Whether it is forgiveness, love or justice, it needs a transcendental dimension, otherwise it will be swallowed up by the mediocrity of daily life, crushed by sin, or corroded by calculation.

At the end of the movie, Mike came to Hannah's grave with his separated daughter. Indeed, he has the responsibility to tell Hannah's story to the next generation (the future), and this retelling story should not only be about crime and punishment, but also about love, justice and forgiveness. 3.

/kloc-the legend of 0/900:

1, movie introduction

The original title is La Leggenda del Pianista Sull 'oceano (Italian).

The three works of Italian director Tonatore-Cinema Paradise (also translated as Starlight Walk with Me), Legend of 1900 (also translated as Sound and Light Walk with Me) and Beautiful Legend of Sicily (also translated as True Love Walk with Me) can be defined as a trilogy of time and space or a trilogy of seeking. The director uses the same narrative structure-"Hui", which makes us constantly shuttle between "present" and "past".

abstract

/kloc-the first day of 0/900. The Virginia cruise ship docked at new york Harbor, and the bustling crowd cheered. Inspired by their dreams, dark people disembarked to meet a bright future full of possibilities. After the noise, there were few people left on board except the crew. Danny Boodman, a coal miner, sneaked into the restaurant to collect valuables left by the guests, but found nothing. Disappointed, he found a beautiful baby on the piano shelf. He picked up the baby and saw that his eyes were clear and his skin was fair. Danny Budman was very surprised by this unexpected harvest, so he took the child in and named it Danny Budman T.D. Lemon1900 (Danny boardman T.D. Raymond1900) to commemorate the adoption of the child by him on the first day of the new century.

Good Danny Budman loves Xiao 1900. Teach him to read so that he won't suffer. However, because there is no birth certificate and other documents, Danny Budman is afraid that 1900 will be taken away by others and is not allowed to leave the cabin.

1900 Danny Budman died when he was eight years old. When the ignorant 1900 was lost in front of Where are you going, he suddenly heard a beautiful and moving voice in the distance. He turned around and an Asian woman told him that it was music.

A few days later, 1900 sneaked into the restaurant at night and came to the piano where exclusive musicians played entertainment and other passengers during the day to play their own impromptu music. The singing woke up many passengers, who were curious to find out, but they were all intoxicated by this little guy's music like nature. It was not until the music stopped that the captain went up to him and said, "1900, it's all illegal." The young 1900 willfully replied: "Damn routine." (Fuck the rules)

A few years later, 1900, an adult, became a pianist in the Virginia band. Although he has never disembarked, he has gained a good reputation. In a storm, he happened to meet seasick Max, and they hit it off immediately. From then on, Max became his lifelong confidant.

Max appreciates his musical talent very much, but at the same time he is puzzled by his stubborn refusal to disembark. He hopes that 1900 can show his talents to the world, get recognition from the world, gain fame and fortune, and live a good life. But for 1900, the life the world yearns for is too far away to understand, so it has no attraction at all.

Even if he plays the piano better than Jelly Roll Morton, the originator of jazz, and makes 1900 famous, the record publisher hopes to record it for him, so as to ensure his fame and fortune, his heart is still calm, and he is satisfied with the happiness brought by life and music. Until he met a simple and charming girl. He was recording a record that day, and the girl looked in the window and looked at him. Although the girl just looked at the mirror with the reflection of the window, he fell in love with her at once. I played a love song as gentle as water. That woman is the daughter of an accordionist, and the old man went out of his own world and came to America. Opened a fish shop. Established a new world of their own. But 1900 can't let go. Until the last minute. ) After the recording, the publisher plays the record to 1900. He didn't give it to the publisher because he didn't allow others to take music from him. He hesitated whether to give the record to the girl he didn't know, but he didn't get it when the girl got off the boat. 1900 can't hide his sadness. Disappointed, he destroyed the record and threw the fragments into the trash can. Later, Max hid the fragments of the record in the piano of 1900, which was the only music record left by 1900.

A few weeks after the girl got off the boat, 1900 was very painful. He wanted to find her. Max's persuasion and desire for love life moved him. One spring, he finally decided to get off the boat and board a strange land. On that day, all the crew waved goodbye to him. Wearing the coat that Max gave him, he slowly walked down the boat ladder. But when he was about to set foot on this land, he looked blankly at the huge city of new york and stared for a while. He suddenly picked up his hat and threw it into the distance, then turned back to the boat. He said to Max, I will never get off the boat again.

It was not until many years later, after the war, that Max, who had already left Virginia, accidentally discovered that the dilapidated Virginia was about to be blown up. He firmly believed that 1900 was on board, but 1900 did not appear. It was not until the ship was about to be blown up that Max got the record of that year and played it alone on the ship. 1900 appeared in the corner. But 1900 insisted on getting off the boat. The world is so vast that he is afraid of being unfamiliar. The endless streets in the city made him as afraid as a piano with countless keys. He would rather quit the stage of life and give himself an end. Max finally left sadly, watching the Virginia and 1900 in the distance smashed to pieces by bombs.

That day, he told the owner of the music store that he had told the boss the legendary story of 1900: 1900 died. The boss felt very sorry and returned the trumpet sold by Max because of embarrassment, telling him that a good story is more valuable than an old trumpet. Max left with the story of 1900, only worth the old trumpet. Since then, few people will remember this talented pianist who never set foot on land and his legendary life.

2. Feeling after review

This is a poetic journey movie, and the ubiquitous piano sound takes the audience into the depths of 1900. The film adopted the most extreme romantic style, which caused a bipolar reaction: some people regarded it as a masterpiece, while many people in the west regarded it as the "best-looking bad film". The disadvantage of movies lies in the characterization. The protagonist is too mysterious to penetrate his inner world and it is difficult to really sympathize with him. If we can get rid of the stage of cynicism, movies will have a romantic magic that touches people's hearts.

The whole film is intertwined with Max's memory of 1900 and Max's pursuit of the whereabouts of 1900 in reality, which closely affects the hearts of the audience. The story reached its climax when Max learned from the owner of the musical instrument store that Virginian was about to be demolished.

Max has never heard of 1900 since he left Virginia before the war. He firmly believes that 1900 must still be on board. He tried to delay the dismantling time and came to the wrecked ship to find the last trace of 1900. 1900 will be on board again? Or as Max expected, he has found a place, married a wife, had children, and mentioned to them that Max is a good friend after dinner. ...

In addition to twists and turns, several wonderful bridges are even more impressive. For example, when Max first met 1900, they loosened the fixing bolts of the piano in stormy waves, sat in front of the piano and swayed with the boat, while sliding in the hall while playing the piano, much like dancers dancing waltz or tango; Facing the aggressive challenge of arrogant jelly, how did 1900 show its extraordinary piano talent and make the participants turn from contempt to shock? And the unknown girl (the daughter of an old man who plays the accordion with 1900). ), like a comet, radiates dazzling light but quickly leaves, making the faint sad and sentimental memories of 1900 more and more vivid in the light yellow image filled with the film. As for those immigrants who came to the new world by boat with dreams, they exclaimed "America!" When they saw the Statue of Liberty. Joy, but also with 1900 watching the indifference of the passengers up and down the loneliness. ...

1900, the role, because of his lonely experience, enables him to see through people's hearts more keenly and play and create touching music. However, facing the ocean and piano all his life, everything on land has too much uncertainty for him, which has always prevented him from moving forward on land. As he said, "the end of the land can't be seen", perhaps for 1900, the scenery of the sea and sky can see the horizon, and cruise ships from many places sometimes stop at the port. 88 keys are limited, so he can create infinite music according to them. However, he can't see or master the endless big cities on land.

The Shawshank Redemption:

The Shawshank Redemption is adapted from Stephen King's Different Seasons, rita hayworth and Shawshank Prison Salvation. The film "The Shawshank Redemption" broke through the limitation of prison films, and made a rare human touch and warmth of similar works, so it became a dark horse with the highest box office when it was released.

1, story introduction

The story happened in 1947. Andy, a banker, was wrongly accused of shooting her and her lover because of her extramarital affairs. Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank prison.

Rhett 1927 was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, and his parole failed several times. He has now become an "authority figure" in Shawshank prison. As long as you can afford it, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, wine and even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner comes, everyone bets on who will cry on the first night. Rhett thinks Andy, who is fragile and bookish, will cry. As a result, Andy's silence made him lose two packs of cigarettes. But it also made Rhett sit up and take notice of him.

For a long time, Andy didn't contact anyone. When everyone was complaining, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Rhett to do for him was a stone hammer. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and he said that he managed to escape the routine inspection by the prison authorities himself. Soon, Rhett played the chess carved by Andy. Later, Andy made a huge poster of rita hayworth and put it on the wall of his cell.

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison guard talking about paying taxes. Andy said he had a way to get prison officials to legally exempt this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won three bottles of beer for each of a dozen prisoners' friends. Drinking beer, Rhett said that he felt free for the first time in many years.

Because Andy is proficient in the knowledge of financial system, he quickly got rid of the heavy physical labor in prison and the harassment of other abnormal prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to deal with tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even asked him about his children's further education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for Shawshank warden Norton to launder money. Prison life is very dull, so you always have to find something to do by yourself. Because Andy kept writing letters to the state legislature, he finally applied for a small sum of money for the prison library. At the same time, in order to show the charm of music and let more people know it, Andy played a piece of music at the risk of being punished and gave Rhett a harmonica.

The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's quiet prison life: the prisoner had heard about Andy's case while serving his sentence in another prison, and he knew who the real murderer was! However, when Andy asked the warden to report the case and tried to retry the case, he was flatly rejected and was severely punished by solitary confinement for one month. When the warden came to visit Andy in the visiting room, he was very angry when he learned that Andy was determined to find the real murderer and be reborn. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to design and kill the insider, and gave Andy a one-month confinement punishment!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed ... One day, he said to Rhett, "If you can get parole one day, you must go somewhere to realize a wish for me." That's where I proposed to my wife, and I dug a box under a big oak tree there. I gave you something. "That night, it was stormy and thunderous, and Andy, who was redeemed by his soul, successfully escaped from prison.

It turns out that Andy has been digging holes with that pebble hammer every day for twenty years, and then covering the holes with posters. At the same time, because of his shrewd economic mind, the warden has been asking Andy to do black accounts and money laundering for him, and transfer the black money he earned and the cheap labor in the prison one by one. Andy put all the black money in the name of a man named Steven. In fact, this Steven is a fictional character of Andy. Andy made Steven all kinds of certificates, driver's license, ID card, and it was flawless. After Andy escaped from prison, he took part of the black money saved by the warden under Steven's pseudonym and lived a good life with this large sum of money. And denounced the truth of the warden's corruption and bribery. The warden saw a Bible that Andy had left in the safe. He put this little ledger in it. The title page reads: "Warden, you are right, the road to redemption is among them." When you see the hollow part inside, you can just put down the pebble hammer. The warden realized that Andy never gave in. At this time, the police were coming to the prison to arrest the warden, and finally the warden shot himself.

Rhett was paroled. After finding a box of cash and a letter left by Andy under the oak tree, he decided to violate the parole and seek freedom. I set out for Chihuahua Tanjo. Andy and Rhett, two old friends, finally meet again on a sunny beach in Mexico.
