One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Two Tragedy Complex

Oedipus, a typical tragic figure of fate in the history of ancient Greek literature, was the son of King Laios and Queen Jocasta of Thebes in Greek mythology, but unknowingly killed him. Died his father and married his mother. Homer, the master of the drama, Sophocles, the master of the 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 murder/father/plot 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 younger son, thus establishing Zeus as the only supreme god of the Olympus pantheon. The two generations of gods established their status, both by killing the father.

Ouranos means "root" in Greek, while Kronos means "time". As a source, once it enters the process of development, it enters the process of time; in the process of time, everything will enter a process of successive, new replacing the old, which is myth and philosophy.

This is the murder/father/spirit derived from ancient Greek mythology, and its influence on the entire Western culture later is immeasurable.

Aristotle's clear statement, "I love my teacher, I love the truth more", can be understood as a challenge to the teacher Plato, which embodies a kind of spiritual "kill/father/". Later, the American philosopher Duran called him the great spiritual "Father Killer". So much so that the entire history of Western philosophy basically presented a developmental process of spiritual murder.

Of course, they also have something that cannot be killed, that is, the absolute idea, the absolute spirit, that is, the supreme God in religious culture. So, when Nietzsche declares that "God is dead", it also marks the culmination of the murder/father/spirit, which is a personal tragedy for Nietzsche, but it seems to be a milk sniping for God.

The so-called slaying/father/ can be understood as overthrowing the power, overthrowing the rule, overthrowing the spiritual pillar, completing the process of growth and inheritance, and finally completing the incredible transcendence. It is not only a manifestation of killing, but also a part of inheritance and transformation. kind of performance. Especially in the patriarchal society, the image of the father often symbolizes the unattainable goal. Only by surpassing the father's generation can we promote the progress of the times and society.

To this day, the spirit of killing the father/father can still be found in countless Western cultures. On the one hand, they have established a spiritual symbol that cannot be surpassed or overthrown; on the other hand, they are eager to overthrow this symbol. Create a new era of your own.

It is precisely this dialectical contradiction that has spawned countless tragic arts and philosophical speculations.

In Renly's view, "The Popping Drummer" has such a tragic color.

It is true that the "Boom Drummer" in the last life is a wonderful work, but what if you want to be better and more outstanding? So how should we dig on the subject of thought? Perhaps, the murder/father/complex is a breakthrough.

"The relationship between Andrew and Fletcher can be seen as an evolution of inheritance and transcendence. In the relationship between repression and repression, teaching and looking up, Andrew started out as an apprentice, he only followed Frye Che's footsteps grew rapidly under the guidance of Fletcher.

But with the advancement of time, the ambition to surpass authority and overthrow the strong began to wake up in Andrew's body. On the one hand, it is because he is eager to achieve the highest level of art, and he always hopes that he can create an era and a genre, which is a kind of ambition; on the other hand, because he is eager to overthrow Fletcher's brutal suppression, not only surpass It's just that, it crushes and crushes the opponent.

In essence, Andrew and Fletcher are the same kind of people who do not compromise means to achieve their goals, build power and refuse to compromise,

All the auras are always around him, and when he has completed his transformation, all the stepping stones along the way can be pushed aside and abandoned. If necessary, they can sacrifice everything, like a date, like a family, like a close friend.

Of course, including his own master and father.

In other words, this is a mountain that must be overthrown before they can complete their essential transformation.

Therefore, Andrew began to resist, and in the final outbreak and transcendence, he completed the breakthrough of anti-control, which reversed the situation of control and control, suppression and suppression between the two people, and at the same time, the development curve of the two people also changed. . "

Incessantly speaking, Renly's inspiration has completely exploded. After stepping into Andrew's world step by step, it is like a treasure, constantly digging out more and more stories and connotations, and the content and details of the performance will gradually change. Getting plump is a very interesting process that makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Damien can also feel Renly's enthusiasm deeply, his eyes light up little by little, he also further added, "What's even more amazing is that Fletcher and Andrew both think the same, Frye Fletcher not only did not resist, but also welcomed him. He consciously guided Andrew to grow up step by step, and stimulated Andrew to start resisting. When Andrew completed transcendence and completed the moment of killing /father/, Fletcher also achieved his own perfection to pass on his spirit and will.”

"It's like..." Damien tried to find an image metaphor, but couldn't find it.

Renly completed the addition, "It's like sacrificing yourself for a benevolence."

"Yes, yes, that's what it means! Sacrifice yourself to achieve inheritance." Damien nodded again and again, and the whole person became excited, and all the sparks in his mind began to crackle.

Incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

If Renly envisioned it, the existing story would take a step forward and come alive like never before.

According to the original script, this is a story between a teacher and a student. The whole focus is still on the breakthrough and transformation of the students, and the real pursuit of the highest realm of art; but after interpretation and interpretation, it is given to the ancient Greek tragedy. The killing/father/color of slaying 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 made himself a sacrifice to Andrew, slowly guiding Andrew to complete his transformation; while Andrew pursued the highest state of art, his hands were covered in blood, He personally killed Fletcher's power, and after the murder of /father/, he was truly reborn, and achieved the perfection of art.

In "Black Swan", the discussion is about the blurring of illusion and reality. Only when the actors really completely blur the nodes and completely integrate with the characters, like white swans and black swans, regardless of each other, can they truly Feel absolutely perfect.

In "Burst Drummer", it discusses the inheritance under the plot of murder/father/. Only when the children overthrow the authority of their fathers, inherit the mantle and carry forward them, can they complete the transformation and create a new era.

After the character setting and the core of the story were deepened and thickened, the whole story of "Booming Drummer" suddenly showed a completely different vitality, and Damien could even conceive some changes in the lens——

The most basic counterpoint change, in the first half, Andrew always looks up at Fletcher, and Fletcher always looks down at Andrew; in the middle, the camera can present a relatively parallel perspective; in the second part, Andrew starts to look down, while Fletcher looks down. gradually becomes weaker. This is the simplest kind of change, but it can truly show the change in the angle of suppression and anti-suppression.

Further, the switching of light and perspective can also deduce more metaphors.

Everyone says that a good actor can make a movie, even though the movie is the director's art. Now, Damien finally really understands what this sentence means, not just acting, but giving life to characters and stories through acting, and then promoting 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 a thought: Could this be why Renly is so choosy in his selection of works?

But Damien still didn't ask, sitting across from Renly, he was still a little nervous, everything seemed like a dream, even if it was ready to turn on now, it's still the same, "We need to chat with jk Is it? He is also an important part of the whole relationship of confrontation and resistance."

"It's up to you." Renly threw the question back.

Damien was stunned for a while, then waved his hands again and again, "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."

"Crazy and paranoid are bad things for ordinary people, but good things for artists." Renly said meaningfully, in fact, most artists and philosophers are insane in the eyes of the world, because their way of thinking is originally It's different, and that's what makes their art.

Then Renly added, "No, I'm not implying anything. I'm just saying that if, by your definition, Fletcher is clearly aware of his role and identity, then his role is set to be To make changes, you also need to tell jk in advance."

"But?" Damien knew there was more to come.

"However, if Fletcher didn't realize this, he just completely suppressed it with his own strength, but he realized it in the last performance, but instead of continuing to suppress, he let go of his mind and did a good job. The readiness to sacrifice became the last force to push Andrew across the finish line, then you wait for the last scene to tell jk."

Renly went on to offer his opinion.

Melissa and Blake, who were standing beside them, were completely dumbfounded and at a loss.
