A good movie usually triggers human thinking about itself. There are many themes, but nothing more than the future of the world, ethics, life. We can often see the discussion on the theme of life in the film. Whether it is passing away or being born, most of them reflect the belief and power of humanity when facing the choice of fate.
Mr. Jment Lim said that no matter how the language of the film is expressed, one thing seems to be the same, that is, for life, we will always retain hope.
In 2010, the film “The Orphan of Zhao ” directed by Chen Kaige was a subject about the meaning of life. This historical story based on the drama of the Yuan Dynasty is well known in China. It talks about Zhao Dun, the doctor of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, who was framed by the minister of power, Tu Anjia, and even chopped off. Only the newborn grandson was rescued by Cheng Ying, a guest. In order to repay Zhao Dun’s kindness, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Peiyu and other loyal ministers, either gave up their lives for justice, or endure insults and steal lives, struggled to raise Zhao’s orphans, and eventually revenge.
The struggle of court conspiracy has been tragic since ancient times, but in this movie, the herdsmen can still see the brilliance of human nature in the rescue of Zhao’s orphans. When the annihilation happened, Cheng Ying was consulting the vein of Zhao’s orphan’s mother, Zhuang Ji. Zhuang Ji gave birth to a child in fear, and asked Cheng Ying to take him to an ordinary life and live a peaceful life without revenge. This is the mother’s greatest love for the newborn child in the emperor’s family, away from the political vortex and able to live all day.
Cheng Ying took the Zhao’s orphans home with a medicine chest, and when he followed them up in Tu Anjia, he replaced the Zhao’s orphans with his newly born child. In this bitter plan, his wife, son and friend Gongsun Peiyu all sacrificed for this. In order to dispel the doubts of Tu Anjia, Cheng Yingqiang endured the hatred and took Zhao’s orphans to Tu Anjia’s men, in order to be able to stay and raise the orphan temporarily. During this period, the inner pain he experienced is not deep, and in the process of raising orphans, the father and son’s deep affection is even more touching. If the initial rescue is just a “righteousness”, then everything afterwards is because of love. Because of love, I once wanted to forget hatred and forget the past.
Also because of the love for children, in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”, we also saw how torture Bella, who is a human mother, suffered. In the prophecy, the child born by human beings married to a vampire will become a demon, so all parties must stop her. However, Bella believes that she can educate her children well and should give her a chance. Therefore, faced with constant threats from outside forces, Bella and her husband Edward family, as well as the werewolf Jacob, have been carefully protecting the unborn child.
In addition to serious external problems, Bella also suffered from internal worries from the fetus itself. Because the child is not as purely human as an ordinary fetus, it grows rapidly and almost absorbs all the energy of Bella, making her more weak and haggard, and she was on the verge of death. Out of concerns about her health and life, Edward even suggested not having children, but Bella refused. She loves her children more than her life. In the climax of the film, when the child was about to be born, Bella faced the biggest test, even the ribs were broken, but she always loved her child and would not give up her, preferring to exchange her life.
Fortunately, Bella finally survived, but the existence of this child still disturbed the vampire world and still wanted to kill the little girl. Therefore, the werewolf, Bella, Edward and their families once again united to protect this new life.
We are gratified that although Bella’s child has a special bloodline, she is not a bloodthirsty demon, but has the innate ability to make her accept her. The setting of this role once again makes people feel that new lives often make unexpected changes to the so-called destiny, which represents hope.
Also about this kind of movie that guards new life, there are science fiction films “Leigon” and “American Cyborg: Steel Warrior”.
The former is about God losing faith in mankind and sending a legion of angels to annihilate all mankind, but the chief angel among them feels pity and decides to save the world. The starting point of the contradiction between the two parties is in the small yellow bistro in the sky. The pub waitress is in Rokko. She will become the next virgin, and her children will become the future of humanity protected by everyone.
The latter is about the fact that after the end of the Earth’s nuclear war, the only human beings were confined and imprisoned by computers and robots. At this time, humans have lost their fertility and can only wait to die. But after all, humans do not want to wait for death, so they secretly nurture the fetus and successfully let it exist in the mother Mary’s belly. But when the news leaked, the machine killer came to chase down. In order to protect the last hope of mankind, the doomsday warriors desperately guarded and finally escaped.
In the movie, human beings have all kinds of evils. However, in order to give birth to a new life, and to leave the possibility of future for human beings, countless people put down their past prejudice, hatred, unity, unity against the enemy, and awakened again. Beauty and kindness in human nature. The meaning of the new life lies here, awakening.
In 2017, there was a documentary film called “Mount Kailash”, which told about the pilgrimage of 11 Tibetans, one of whom was a pregnant woman. It also awakens us to think again about the meaning and value of life.
When watching movies, many people are puzzled: Why do you have to bump on the rough road with pregnancy? With such doubts, it may be that the Tibetans’ beliefs are not well understood. Tibetans generally believe in Buddhism. From birth to death, they live in accordance with the doctrine. Pilgrimage to them sometimes means more than life. That’s why there are elderly people in this pilgrimage team, a few years old girls, pregnant women, young men, and alcoholic butchers. I can go to the pilgrimage once in my life, there is no regret in this life.
The pregnant woman Tsering Quzhen was pregnant five months before the pilgrimage. However, she still felt that following her husband’s pilgrimage was a major event not to be missed. It would be better if the child could be born on the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage road is full of hardships, but the pilgrims do not think it is difficult, but accept any test very willingly. Tsering Quzhen followed everyone to bow and kowtow, and changed to walking until his stomach was too big to bend. But she never gave up halfway. Her wish was to take her child to Lhasa and Gang Rinpoche.
When the child was finally born on the Pilgrimage Road and the new life brought great joy to everyone, he also followed everyone on the road. There is a hint of heritage here. This new life was born on the pilgrimage road, he inherited the spiritual beliefs of the Tibetans, and they passed on what he thought was good to him, which is the best love they can give.
Of course, there are many films that evoke human conscience and thinking through new life, such as “Baby”, such as “Why is Home” and so on. Some are gloomy and some are heavy, but they are all telling us how precious life is and how precious human nature is.
The new life represents all things worthy of human cherishment, innocence, kindness, beauty, hope… no matter how long time passes, no matter how the world becomes, no matter how much sorrow is encountered, as long as there is a new life born, There is new hope for mankind. May we all be able to protect this hope and give ourselves a promising future.
