Chapter 19 prophet of the modern elite

8. The Prophet of the Modern Elite Listening to Radio France Internationale this morning, I was surprised to find that I am not who I thought I was.What has led to my broad interest in culture until now has been due to my situation as a proletarian autodidact.As I mentioned, whenever I have spare time outside of work, I spend every minute of my life reading, watching movies, and listening to music.But this kind of obsession with cultural products seems to me to have made a mistake in taste, that is, to include famous works and other unknown works. Although the choice of books will be very complicated, maybe I am not very interested in the field of reading.The books I read are about history, philosophy, economics, politics, society, psychology, education, psychoanalysis, and of course literature.History is what interests me, and literature occupies my life.My cat is named Leo, because that is the name of Leo Tolstoy, and my previous cat was named Tango, because that is the protagonist of the novel "The Abbey of Parma" by Fabrice Delstendhal . --The surname of the translation note, my first cat was named Karenina, because that was Anna's surname, but I only called her Karlie, that was to prevent someone from revealing my secret.Of course, apart from having a special preference for Stendhal's works, I am more inclined to Russian literature before 1910. I think I have read many world literary masterpieces obsessively.If people think about it, they will think that a country woman like me will spend her whole life as a porter at 7 rue de Grenelle.One should have thought that people in this fate would only read Barbara Cartland Barbara Cartland (Barbara Cartland, 1901-2000), a British romance novelist. -- A book written with translation notes.I do have an involuntary love of detective stories - but I read the novels I read as upstream literature.Connelly (Michael Connelly, 1956-), a famous American detective novelist, best-selling author, and former US President Bill Clinton's favorite mystery novelist.His representative works are "The Black Echo", which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and "The Poet", which has a gloomy style. --Annotation or Mankell Mankell (Henning Mankell, 1948-), a master of European mystery novels.His "Detective Weld" series of mystery novels are popular all over the world. Among them, "The Faceless Killer" won the 1991 Swedish Crime Fiction Award and the Scandinavian Crime Writers Association Award, and "Death's Wrong Step" won the In 2001, he won the "Golden Dagger Award" of the British Crime Fiction Writers Association. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages. --Annotated novels to open the door to Bernard Grelier or Sabine Pallier, is a very painful thing.What they care about is not the same as anti-sniper squad, jazz lover, policeman Harry Bosch Harry Bosch is the protagonist in Connelly's series of detective novels. --The idea of ​​translation and annotation does not match, especially when they asked me:

"Why is the smell of garbage floating into the yard?" Bernard Grelier and the heiress of an ancient banking family can worry about the same banal things, and both of them are incapable of understanding the use of personal pronouns before verbs in interrogative sentences, which makes me wonder about human nature. new thinking. In movies, as opposed to reading books, my interest was fully developed.I like to watch American blockbusters and writers' art films.In fact, I have been fascinated by American or British entertainment films for a long time, and of course there are some art films with serious themes, which have to be examined with an aesthetic eye, and only entertainment films can be appreciated with an emotional eye.Greenaway Greenaway (Greenaway, 1942-), a Welsh avant-garde director, is recognized as the most ambitious and controversial director.His main works include: "Lust, Color and Fragrance", "Eight and a Half Woman", "Forbidden Books by Pillow". --Yizhu's movie impressed me, made me very interested, and of course made me yawn, and whenever I saw Bonnie Blue, the American director Victor Fleming (Victor Fleming, 1889-1949) Characters in directed films. --Annotation After the premature death, the scene where Miley and Mammy climbed up the stairs of Rhett's house, I would cry like an absorbent sponge, and the American director of "Blade Runner" Ridley Scott (Riddey Scott, 1937- ) directed by . --Annotation is the leader in American commercial series.For a long time, I thought there was an inevitability, that is, the seventh art has beautiful pictures and shocking content, but it is boring; while commercial films are vulgar and superficial, but they are popular and touching.

By the way, today, for example, I feel restless when I think about buying myself a gift.Although it was a long-term patience, it finally satisfied my long-delayed desire to rewatch the movie I saw at Christmas in 1989.
