716.The Matrix(1/4)

After following the old man around several parts of the set of "Jinling" and getting a general idea of ​​the situation, the time came to noon.

Not really hungry, but the temperature has risen.

Amidst the chirping of the cicadas, Zhang Yimou waved his hand and led several people into his RV.

This RV is still the same one from "Golden Armor".

Xu Xin remembered that the car was quite new back then, but now when he got on it and looked at the leathery sofa and the occasionally bumped furniture, he said directly:

"Shall I change it for you?"

"Need not."

Zhang Yimou picked up his magnetized water thermos cup.

After the one Xu Xin gave him as a gift last time was smashed in a quarrel between him and Zhang Weiping, he bought this one again.

"Everything is fine, why waste the money?"

Seeing this, Xu Xin stopped talking.

As for what he thinks in his heart, no one knows.

Zhang Yimou put down the tea cup and pressed a few times on the control panel of the RV. The air conditioner of the car started working and made a buzzing sound.

As soon as the car was powered on, the small LCD TV opposite the bed also lit up.

Xu Xin didn't pay attention at first and asked Lao Wang and Seventh Brother to sit down.

When he took out the slightly cool soda from the refrigerator in a familiar manner, he happened to hear a muffled thunder coming from the speaker:

"Rumble..."

He subconsciously looked up, and the toothless Nico in sunglasses on the TV showed a weird smile to him...

"Scared me."

Wang Sicong and Di Wei also looked at the TV.

It turned out to be "The Matrix."

"Why do you still look like this?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Zhang Yimou, who was looking for the remote control, was a little puzzled:

"What? Can't I have some entertainment?"

"That's definitely not the case. I think even if you are having fun, you will find a movie... such as a movie about suffering, hatred, and hatred to criticize the humanistic spirit in it."

"..."

Zhang Yimou simply rolled his eyes.

Once you find the remote control, turn off the TV.

"No, no, no, no."

Xu Xin quickly stopped the old man's movement:

"The most classic part is coming soon, please finish watching this part."

"Don't you want to watch some movies about suffering and hatred, and criticize the humanistic spirit in them?"

Zhang Yimou's rhetorical question hit Xu Xin in the face.

Not moving at all.

Towering like a mountain.

But the expressions of Wang Sicong and Di Wei were a bit subtle.

Especially Wang Sicong.

Although he had dealt with Director Zhang several times over the years, he had never seen what Director Zhang was like in private. He only heard what Lao Xu said.

And now looking at it this way...

Director Zhang...it's also quite fun.

While the two were thinking about it, the camera in the movie also came to the classic scene of two red sofas and a glass of water.

Xu Xin did not sit down, but stood and watched.

While watching, he said to Zhang Yimou:

"The Wachowski brothers are indeed talented, let alone India... As far as Europeans and Americans are concerned, I think they are rare people who have profound research on Buddhism."

Following his words, Morpheus also said the sentence on the TV that set the core tone of the entire movie:

"It is a world that blinds you and makes you ignorant of the truth..."

Listening to the casual lines of "Morpheus", Xu Xin muttered:

"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."

"Not only that."

Zhang Yimou shook his head slightly:

"The greatest thing about the script logic of this movie is that no matter what kind of philosophical logic you embed, such as Christ, Buddhism, fatalism... you can find the closed loop of that level of logic in this movie.

.It is amazing that it can be self-consistent... Just like this paragraph, you can think of it as Buddhism, but you can also think of it as the "id, ego, superego" in Freud's words

.”

"?"

There was a big question mark visible to the naked eye on Di Wei's head.

Wang Sicong frowned:

"I...forgot who I heard it from. At the time, it was just hilarious, but now that I listen to you two talking about it, I think it makes sense. It is said that the core basis of the entire "The Matrix" is based on Russell

It is based on the premise of paradox. As long as Russell's paradox is not solved for one day, then the content in this movie will have a faint trace of authenticity. It's just that our knowledge is too little and we can't tell it at all."

"...???"

There were many more question marks on Si Wei's head instantly.

At this time, Xu Xin also frowned.

"Russell's paradox? Is it the one where S belongs to S, but does not belong to S, and then contradicts itself?"

Zhang Yimou nodded:

"This point of view is irrefutable, but from my point of view, it is more like Descartes's conclusion regarding Plato's discussion: universal doubt. These two points of view may seem like arguments, but in essence they are more like

"Emancipate the mind" is the unchanging central idea to carry out interpretation and discussion in all aspects. This is also what I find interesting about the script of "The Matrix"..."

I don’t know when it started or why it became like this.

In short, in Si Wei's eyes, the three men inexplicably started chatting about some... topics that she didn't understand at all.

What is Russell's paradox?

Plato...I know. Falling in love.

Who is Descartes? I did own a pair of Decathlon shoes...

Si Wei was confused all of a sudden.

Gradually, Wang Sicong and Zhang Yimou started to talk about some very... nihilistic things, just like they were having a philosophical debate.

Gradually it became separated from the script itself.

But Xu Xin fell behind in the chat between the three of them.

He just stared at the screen in front of him, watching Morpheus take out the two red and blue pills.

Seeing this, his thoughts began to wander for no reason, and he heard in his ears that when he was drinking with Brother Qian'er, the wine was very high, and Brother Qian'er, who usually didn't hesitate to open his voice on stage, always liked to sing such peaceful lyrics.

.

His voice is definitely not as bright as Teacher Guo’s.

But the hoarse voice with a hint of cigarette smoke sounded stronger to his ears.

And how do you sing the lyrics of "Skeleton Sigh"?

Then Mr. Zhuang, take a leisurely trip... go out to the city... the north and south corners, bah!

This seems to be "Persuading People".

wrong.

Anyway, the story tells that Duke Zhuang went out for a walk on horseback and met a skeleton. Seeing that the man was about to die, he felt pity for the man and then used elixirs to revive him.

As a result, the man was not only ungrateful, but also tried to extort Zhuang Gong's money.

I especially remember that after Brother Qianer finished singing, he lit a cigarette, blushed slightly, and made a joke.

say what:

"Thankfully, Mr. Zhuang, the old man is riding a horse. If he were driving, he might have run over..."
To be continued...
