"The Truman Show" unexpectedly sold well, yes, it definitely surprised everyone.
In fact, the previous "The Heartbroken" performed better in China, but its performance in Europe, America and other regions was much worse.
Therefore, many people thought that "The Truman Show" was at most another "The Heartbreaker", but the result was far beyond everyone's expectations.
In fact, the main reason is that the cores of the two movies are different.
The core of "The Heartbroken", to put it bluntly, is still Huaguo's.
Many of the things involved are derived from Huaguo's social environment, education system, and so on.
Although it is said that family affection is the emotion of great unity in the world, different cultures have created different family affection.
In China, like in "The Heartbroken", the silent sacrifice for the children, the silent love, can resonate with many people in the country.
Because of Hua Guo's mother, there are too many such types.
Maybe what they do is different from what they did in "The Heartbroken", but the dedication to their children is the same.
without reservation.
In China, many people can say that maternal love is selfless, great, and does not involve any interests.
abound.
Filial piety has always been an extremely crucial part of Huaguo culture.
As early as more than a thousand years ago, the biggest basis for judging a person's morality was filial piety.
And since ancient times, there have been countless great stories about maternal love, such as the three moves of Meng's mother and so on.
In this regard, it can be said that Huaguo is different from any foreign country.
In European and American countries, although motherly love and other family affection are also admired, in fact, too many other things have been mixed in.
In Huaguo, there is no such thing as becoming independent after the age of eighteen.
But in Europe and the United States, although the upper elites do not have this kind of argument, the ordinary people have always been dominated by such values.
It seems that the responsibility of parents to their children will only last until the age of eighteen.
In Huaguo, there has never been such a saying. Most parents love their children from birth to old age.
Therefore, many people in China can resonate.
But abroad, it may not be so.
Therefore, from the core point of view, "The Heartbreaker" is a typical cultural and moral core unique to Huaguo.
And "The Truman Show" is different, because this story itself is a Hollywood story in its previous life, and the core of "The Truman Show" is actually more inclined to the Western set of values.
Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.
Although this poem is widely circulated in China, in fact, the core of this poem is the universal values promoted by the Western world.
To sum up, for Chinese people, in fact, the so-called freedom is more poisoned by foreign countries, but in fact, in the bones of Chinese people, what they really admire is the kind of "princes and generals who have kindness".
Let's put it this way, in Huaguo, it is very typical that time-travel novels, most of them travel back to the past, the feudal era, almost all of them are unwilling to be inferior to others, and almost all of them are the kind that want to rise up.
For this purpose, you can live with it, you can tolerate it, and you can pay a lot of price.
But the goal is always the same, that is, never, never to be left behind.
And if it's crooked nuts, it's completely different.
If they travel back to the past, their first reaction is probably not that they are princes and generals, and they will not be tolerant.
It's that they will come out to die in the first time, and then they will be directly shot to death by those in power!
This is where the cultures and ideas are very different.
Therefore, in foreign countries, using freedom as an excuse can incite many people, but in China, it is estimated that they will be despised.
Freedom, freedom, my lord!
Why the social ethos in Huaguo has become more and more money-worshiping actually has a lot to do with the kind of thinking in his bones.
Not willing to be left behind, but possessing financial power can make you a superior person.
Most Chinese people hope that through their own efforts, they can make their lives better.
As for Europeans and Americans, they hope more to make themselves more "free"!
In fact, the two are quite different.
In fact, the reason why "The Truman Show" has a greater impact on Europeans and Americans is because, for them, as long as it involves freedom, they don't care about it. You restrict my freedom, no matter you For whatever reason, then I have to fight.
Yes, it's that stupid!
Because freedom is supreme, freedom is supreme!
But for the Chinese people, in fact, they didn't have such a big reaction.
"The Truman World", simply put, if the director can arrange for Truman to live a happier life, then the arrangement will be made, after all, the most important thing is to live a good life.
But it's different for foreigners. Even if many of them are poor and poor, when the magic sound of freedom hits, no matter whether you are doing it for my own good or not, I will fight against everything. Why do you arrange my life?
parents? no!
Even God can't do it, let alone you?
That's why "The Truman Show" is different from "The Heartbroken" which got such a high box office in North America.
On the contrary, in China, although the box office of "The Truman Show" is quite good, it is obviously not as bright as it did in North America!
But in any case, "The Truman Show" has succeeded, there is no doubt about it.
In fact, looking at the history of film, those Chinese films that can sell well in Europe and the United States can be roughly divided into three types.
One is novelty-seeking, such as "Hero". For North American audiences, in fact, they probably don't understand the story in "Hero" and the theme to be expressed.
But it didn't prevent them from exclaiming when they saw the huge battle scene and the scene where ten thousand arrows were fired and so on.
After all, in Europe and the United States, in ancient wars, thousands of people fighting each other is already a big scene. Have they ever seen the dense super war scene in "Heroes"?
Therefore, they watch "Hero" because they are curious!
Not only that, Bruce Lee's movies and Jackie Chan's movies back then actually highlighted the word "Kung Fu".
But in the final analysis, it is still a curiosity-seeking mentality!
The other kind is Western core movies.
For example, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a western film dressed in martial arts!
When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in China, it can actually be said to have hit the street.
Many Chinese people actually don't like to watch this kind of movie, because it is different from the kind of martial arts that everyone imagines.
It was only after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became a big success in Hollywood in North America that everyone came back to pay attention to this movie.
Started to interpret this movie in various ways.
Of course, another reason is that, back then, Huaguo movies had just started.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there are some "worshiping foreigners" in the heart.
The so-called yellow skin and white heart can actually be used to describe movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
