1382 tragic complex
Oedipus is a typical tragic figure in the history of ancient Greek literature. He was the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta of Thebes in Greek mythology. However, he killed Oedipus without knowing it. He died his father and married his mother. Sophocles, the master of drama art and master of tragedy of fate, enriched his tragedy of fate in the ancient Greek drama "Oedipus the King"..
The entire Western culture can deeply feel the influence of ancient Greek culture, and the deep-rooted plot of parricide can be seen everywhere. Oedipus can be regarded as a masterpiece of tragedy, and it can be seen in the entire mythological structure. Find similar cultural heritage.
The first-generation god Uranus was castrated by his son Cronus, and the second-generation god Cronus was overthrown by his youngest son. From then on, the Olympian pantheon of Zeus was established as the only supreme god. Two generations. Gods establish their own status by killing their fathers..
Ouranos means "root" in Greek, and Cronus means "time". As a root, once it enters the process of development, it enters the course of time; in the course of time, everything will Entering into a process in which the new replaces the old one after another, this is a myth and a philosophy.
This is the spirit of patricide originating from ancient Greek mythology, and its influence on the entire later Western culture is immeasurable..
Aristotle's clear statement, "I love my teacher, I love the truth even more" can be understood as a challenge to his teacher Plato, which embodies a kind of spiritual "father-killing". Later, the American philosopher Duran called him a great spiritual "father-killer". So that the entire history of Western philosophy basically showed a development process of spiritual father-killer..
Of course, they also have something that cannot be killed, which is the absolute idea and absolute spirit, that is, the supreme God in religious culture. Therefore, when Nietzsche announced that "God is dead", this also marked the realization of the spirit of killing the father. In the extreme, this was a personal tragedy for Nietzsche, but it seemed like a sniper for God..
The so-called parricide can be understood as overthrowing power, overthrowing rule, overthrowing spiritual pillars, completing the process of growth and inheritance, and finally completing incredible transcendence. It is not only a manifestation of killing, but also a part of inheritance and transformation. This kind of performance. Especially in a patriarchal society, the image of the father often symbolizes an unattainable goal. Only by surpassing the father can we promote the progress of the times and society..
To this day, the spirit of patricide can still be found in countless Western cultures. On the one hand, they have established a spiritual symbol that cannot be surpassed or overturned; on the other hand, they are eager to overturn this symbol. Create a new era of your own.
It is precisely this dialectical contradiction that has given rise to countless tragic arts and philosophical speculations..
From Renly's point of view, "The Explosive Drummer" has such tragic overtones..
It is true that the "Exploding Drummer" in the previous life was a wonderful work, but what if you want to be better and more outstanding? So how should we dig into ideological themes? Perhaps, the father-killing complex is a breakthrough.
“The relationship between Andrew and Fletcher can be seen as an evolution of inheritance and transcendence. In the relationship of suppression and being suppressed, teaching and looking up to, Andrew was an apprentice at the beginning, and he simply followed Fletcher. pace, growing rapidly under the guidance of Fletcher.
But as time went on, the ambition to transcend authority and overthrow the strong began to awaken in Andrew's body. On the one hand, it was because he longed to achieve the highest level of art. He always hoped that he could create an era and genre. It is a kind of ambition; on the other hand, it is because he desires to overthrow Fletcher's brutal suppression, not only to surpass, but also to crush the opponent..
In essence, Andrew and Fletcher are the same type of people. They will not compromise the means to achieve their goals, establish power but refuse to compromise. All the auras always surround themselves. When they complete their transformation, then what will happen to them along the way? They can push away all stepping stones and abandon them. If necessary, they can sacrifice everything, such as dating partners, family ties, and best friends..
Of course, including his master and father.
In other words, this is a big mountain that must be overturned before they can complete their essential transformation..
Therefore, Andrew began to resist, and finally broke out and transcended, completing a breakthrough in anti-control, reversing the situation of controlling and being controlled, suppressing and being suppressed between the two people, and at the same time, the development curve of the two people also changed..”
Renly's inspiration has completely exploded. After stepping into Andrew's world step by step, he is like a treasure, constantly digging out more and more stories and connotations, and the content and details of the performance gradually change. Getting plump is a very interesting process that makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves..
Damien could also deeply feel Renly's enthusiasm, his eyes brightened little by little, and he further added, "What's even more amazing is that Fletcher and Andrew both have the same idea. Fletcher Che not only did not resist, but also welcomed it. He consciously guided Andrew step by step to grow stronger, and stimulated Andrew to start resisting. When Andrew completed his transcendence and completed the murder of his father, Fletcher also achieved his own perfection. , passing on his spirit and will.”
“Just like..." Damien tried to find a vivid metaphor, but couldn't find it..
Renly finished, "It would be like sacrificing one's life to do good.".”
“Yes, yes, that’s what it means! Sacrifice yourself to achieve inheritance." Damien nodded repeatedly, his whole body became excited, and all the sparks in his mind began to crackle..
Unbelievable！
Absolutely incredible！
If Renly's vision is followed, the existing story will go further and take on unprecedented vitality..
According to the original script, this is a story between a teacher and a student. The entire focus is still on the student's breakthrough and transformation, truly pursuing the highest level of art; but after interpretation and interpretation, it has given the ancient Greek tragedy The color of Murder/Father/has evolved from a simple teaching process to a process of artistic inheritance and innovation.——
In order to pursue the perfect state of art, Fletcher sacrificed himself and became Andrew's sacrifice, slowly guiding Andrew to complete his transformation; and in order to pursue the highest state of art, Andrew's hands were covered with blood. He killed Fletcher's power with his own hands. After killing his father, he was truly transformed and achieved artistic perfection..
“"Black Swan" explores the blurring of illusion and reality. Only when the actors truly and completely blur the nodes and completely integrate with the characters, just like the white swan and the black swan, without distinguishing each other, can they truly feel to absolute perfection.
“"Exploding Drummer" explores the inheritance under the plot of patricide. Only when children personally overthrow the authority of their fathers, inherit the mantle and carry it forward, can they complete their transformation and create a new era..
After the character setting and the core of the story were deepened and thickened, the entire story of "Explosive Drummer" suddenly took on a completely different vitality, and Damien was even able to conceive some lens changes.——
The most basic counterpoint change is that in the first half, Andrew always looks up to Fletcher, and Fletcher always looks down on Andrew; in the middle, the camera can show a relatively parallel perspective; in the second half, Andrew starts to look down, and Fletcher will gradually become weaker. This is the simplest change, but it can truly show the angle changes of suppression and counter-suppression..
Furthermore, the switching of light and perspective can also deduce more metaphors..
Everyone said that a good actor can make a movie, although the movie is the art of the director. Now, Damien finally understood the meaning of this sentence, not only the performance, but also the role given through the performance and the vitality of the story, thereby stimulating the director’s imagination and creativity.
Of course, the premise is that the director has enough space and leeway to allow such vitality.
Damien suddenly had an idea: Is this why Renly was so careful and picky when choosing his works?？
But Damien still didn't ask after all. Sitting opposite Renly, he was still a little nervous. Everything seemed like a dream. Even now that he was ready to turn on the phone, it was still the same. "We need to talk to JK." Is he also an important part of the whole relationship between confrontation and resistance?.”
“That's up to you." Renly asked the question again..
Damien was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly, "Are you implying that I am Andrew? I didn't say that. Although this is a script adapted from my high school experience, I am not as crazy and paranoid as Andrew..”
“Madness and paranoia are bad things for ordinary people, but they are good things for artists." Renly said meaningfully, in fact, most artists and philosophers are madmen in the eyes of the world, because their way of thinking is inherently Being different makes their art creation method.
Then, Renly continued, "No, I didn't imply anything. I just said that if in your definition, Fletcher is clearly aware of his role and identity, then his role setting must be To make changes, you also need to tell JK in advance.”
“but? "Damien knew there was more to come..
“However, if Fletcher did not realize this, he just completely suppressed it with his own strength, but he suddenly realized it during the last performance, but he did not continue to suppress it, but relaxed his mind and made sacrifices The preparation became the last force to push Andrew across the finish line, then you will wait for the last scene to tell JK.”
Renly then expressed his opinion.
Melissa and Blake standing nearby were completely dumbfounded and at a loss what to do..
