Chapter 60 The next kid has to run naked

The same is a European director, and the theme of the work is also based on the life of the bottom. I like the Belgian Dardenne brothers, but I hate the Italian director Itto Scoura.The latter has a famous movie "Nasty, Dirty, Nasty", about the life of the poor in the Italian shantytowns.Itto Scoura won the Best Director Award at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival for this film.But after I saw it, I found it extremely disgusting.I didn't know the origin of this disgust until I saw Chang Ping's article "If Poor Children Are So Poor Without Stories". The poor children in the article are children from the mountainous areas of Yunnan. Because there are no new shoes to wear, they have to suffer from the cold every winter.Their teacher took a group of photos, wrote an emotional article, and posted it on the Internet, which attracted attention and received donations, and the children received many shoes.Chang Ping believes that this is the tragedy of our society. "One has to come up with a story out of poverty" in order to attract the attention of the media and receive assistance.We just decide our help based on these stories.Therefore, when the family members of patients with serious diseases come to the newspaper for help, the editors and reporters will help them plan some stories. Selling their bodies, kidneys, and their whole lives as cows and horses is kind and helpless.Otherwise, there would be no news points, otherwise, there would be no stories.People who are poor can have long ambitions, but they cannot short stories.

From then on, I understood the difference between the Dardenne brothers and Itto Skolla. The Dardenne brothers made movies from the bottom point of view, so their works lacked storytelling, while Itto Skoura It is to look at the bottom layer from the bottom layer, so it is keen on the story, and even discovers the story with a cheerful attitude. "Nasty, Dirty, Dirty" disgusts me because the so-called underclass is full of stories, they cheat, they incest, they poison each other, they raise their children in pens and raise them indiscriminately.What he got from them was nothing more than one shocking story after another.While he is an artist, he is also a predator.

This is probably the difference between looking from the inside to the outside and looking from the outside to the inside, from a low place and from a high place.And the reason for thinking about this is that we can always see stories.Some time ago, there was an eleven-year-old girl whose mother suffered from kidney disease and needed a kidney transplant. This little girl, who had been practicing calligraphy since she was six years old, planned to treat her mother’s illness with the payment of calligraphy works. Finally, the media moved her. She did it, and she finally raised medical expenses by selling her own calligraphy works.

She is indeed lucky.Poverty is easy, finding stories is hard, there are many people who ask for help, and those whose stories are discovered are few and far between.If another family in need appears, just as Chang Ping pointed out: "Unless you find a better angle and tell a more moving story, don't expect the media, including the Internet, to give the same Enthusiastically helping each other." This child has already used up the material of writing calligraphy, and the next child has to draw. Without a regular, more general system of relief, relying solely on sympathy, that's what it turned out to be.Our sympathy is not with the poor but with the stories, we have sympathy and we are predators at the same time.I'm disgusted by our hunger for stories, but unable to do anything about it.So the next kid had to paint, the next kid had to run naked, the next kid had to cross the Atlantic.In life, one must strive to be a storyteller.
