A joke about ethics

Probably in 2006, maybe I finally "realized" that my own person was middle-aged, so when I heard a story about two families having children, I would have infinite feelings and sudden creative desire.

The subsequent "achievement" is a "twisted" story-a simple description based on a true story can suppress people to the point of breathlessness, and a mother is "shameless" to give birth to a child.

Actually, I prefer, or think, another name "in our trusted love" is better.

Because this name can actually better express Wang Xiaoshuai's original intention, it is taken from the Bible, which can be interpreted in his understanding as-believing because of love, the story he wants to express:

What he didn't expect was that his story was so "wonderful" that it fermented into the understanding and reputation of almost two worlds at home and abroad.

In China, due to various reasons, including scale, actors' beauty and ugliness, scripts, and even the attack on "corruption in three views", it caused great controversy at the beginning of its release, but little was involved in the connotation of "love and trust" he wanted to express.

In the final analysis, it is because of this story about two couples in two families whose daughters are terminally ill and need to be matched, and the helplessness and coincidence in it, as well as "love", which is too bizarre, or comes from real life, which is far more unacceptable than making a movie.

What's more, in order to highlight the "depth", Wang Xiaoshuai tried to enlarge various "scales", which is a challenge to the public about the ethical limits of human nature.

Not surprisingly, just before and after the shooting, because of this problem, it was remake six times on and off, and it barely passed the preliminary review and was put on the big screen and accepted by the public.

I accidentally saw another version, probably the previous version.

Although I admit that this kind of "drama" that makes people blush and beat their hearts is a bit too much on the big screen.

But it is undeniable that the more straightforward the nude, the less vulgar it will be, and the more it will suppress the sense of suffocation that seems to come from the depths of the soul.

That kind of "trampling" on the bottom line of human ethics and moral challenge to a person's understanding of "love" really makes people breathless.

Not to mention trying to put yourself in the other's shoes: "What would I do?" This embarrassing question.

So, what I want to bring to you here is a little understanding hidden in the story. Perhaps what Wang Xiaoshuai really wants to say is "I believe because of love".

Lu Xiao divorced Meizhu, and her daughter followed her mother.

Later, Zhu Zhu and bitter remarried, and the family of three lived together.

Lv Xiao and Dong Fan also remarried.

Originally, this is the most common story of middle-aged couples divorcing and re-establishing their own families.

Unfortunately, just when my daughter had a high fever, she slowly slipped into an uncontrollable "abyss".

After a slight high fever, hehe was diagnosed as leukemia.

Mother Meizhu immediately made a match, but failed, so she went to find her father Xiao Lu to make a match.

Xiao Lu and his wife Dong Fan have been married for two years, so far they have no children. Therefore, when she learned that her daughter He He was ill, she was very anxious and immediately went to fix it up. Unfortunately, it failed.

What should they do next?

This is the first and lightest "help" question put forward by Wang Xiaoshuai.

Leukemia, a cancer with a low cure rate, has a high probability of being cured as long as a suitable match is found.

If we find a match.

But if the biological parents can't do it, then there are only two ways left for the patients, either to race with death and find a match in a haystack, or to have a sibling match.

You can imagine how lucky Zhu was when he knew this "best" method.

But for the honest husband Lao Xie, how crazy he is, his wife wants to have another child with others, in order to save the stepdaughter who calls him "uncle".

On the other hand, Xiao Lu, who was told by his ex-wife that this was the only way to save her daughter, was also very complicated and shocked.

Yes, he has only one daughter. If he can, he must be saved.

But he strongly opposes that only having a child with his ex-wife can save his daughter.

Because this kind of thing that challenges the bottom line of human ethics is not something a "person" can do.

Besides, if he has remarried, he must be responsible for his "home" and his wife. In order to get a "high probability", he will give birth to a child, and his wife Dong Fan can't accept it, not to mention that he doesn't agree.

As a result, two couples in two families fell into a "dead knot" that could hardly be solved.

It is also the second ethical dilemma that Wang Xiaoshuai set for the public, an ethical bottom line that seems to have only one "result" expression-having children and repeatedly testing human nature.

This dilemma was also the most controversial plot for the public when it was released, because Wang Xiaoshuai "deliberately" ignored the "three views", which made the public face the absolute choice of human life and morality, which was extremely challenging to human nature.

Just like the film's straightforward Chinese title "Left and Right", human nature will always struggle left and right.

As a result, the story begins to move towards the seemingly "unique" result, that is, Wang Xiaoshuai wants to put aside all ethics and choose to highlight the expression of "love and faith"-having children.

Because in his view, the "taste" of life should be the highest, which will definitely be higher than the so-called "ethics".

Just like Dong Fan, who was struggling, wronged and made a painful choice, he suddenly relented when he saw Xiaohe, who was tortured by the disease.

The kind of "maternal love" that came out involuntarily, as well as the heartache of seeing her husband, seemed to be defeated at once. Because of "love", she believed, so she compromised. ......

At this point in the story, it is obvious that Wang Xiaoshuai's "embarrassing" personality will never let the public go so easily, so the third, most controversial and even criticized ethical dilemma-the necessary natural conception-comes.

At first, Zhu Zhu didn't want her first child after remarriage, considering that her daughter was still young.

However, it was that abortion that made Zhu suffer from the sequelae of habitual abortion.

Results Two people failed to conceive artificially for three times in a row.

However, my daughter's condition is getting worse every day. What should I do?

In order to save lives, Zhu Zhu tried to grasp the last straw-natural conception.

This time, he and she challenged not only the limits of human ethics, but the real cliff of "love" ......

When Wang Xiaoshuai dragged two families, two couples and four people into the "desperate situation" in such a decisive way, he was actually questioning the bottom line of "love".

At this time, the four people will not simply stand on their respective family positions, but will be placed on the balance of life and love.

The dispute between left and right is not only a superficial ethical issue, but also a precious sequence of "love" in human instinct.

What Wang Xiaoshuai throws out is the torture of "human nature".

The answer, maybe everyone is different, love is higher than family, family is higher than love, ethics is higher than life, and ......

And he, he chose life above everything else, and with love, people can get out of any predicament.

In 2006, Wang Xiaoshuai entered the 40-year-old mark, a life stage that had to admit that "people reach middle age".

His immersion and state may have been in 17-year-old bike before.

Therefore, for him, this kind of "left and right" that can almost "empathize" is part of his emotional release at this stage.

Therefore, in the film, he hardly tried to cater to the public and the increasingly "flow" to "value is king" market aesthetics, but tried to make "people" return to their roles.

In addition to giving up to the "stronger" one, he will also choose Liu Weiwei, who is weak and pitiful, as bamboo, Cheng, who is in despair, as bitter water, and Cheng, who is born with an "honest face".

And don't give them any bright "decoration" at all, even the picture is gray, to the point where it looks extremely depressed.

Try to tell this story from the real perspective of this "ordinary person".

Because in fact, we are all ordinary people, but the more ordinary we are, the stronger we will be in the face of great difficulties in the long river of life. This is the ordinary emotion of ordinary people.

Like the bamboo that looks "crazy" in the story.

In my opinion, she is "wrong", but as a wife, not as a mother.

Because the wife's "love" is responsible for her husband and family, there is at least a bottom line of monogamy, so she is wrong.

However, as a mother, she stood on the opposite side of this "love".

Although Wang Xiaoshuai's handling of this piece is too rough, he just "willfully" goes with the flow, so naturally, on the level of being a mother, Zhu Zhu is embarrassed and has some "robber logic" for the public.

Even if the "ethical dilemma" set in front is that life is above everything else.

But the problem is that this behavior actually ignores the right of another life, the soon-to-be-born child, to save his sister's free life.

This reminds me of a book I read before, My Sister's Keeper, in which my sister was born as a beautified "guardian". In fact, her birth is just a "tool" that can save my sister's life. So when my sister was really born, she became it in my mother's eyes, a negligible "life-saving medicine".

And this is a bamboo, and it is also the "mother logic" that puts the mother's identity first and lives at this time-as long as the child is alive, I can do anything, and I don't care about anything else.

So,

When a wife lives as a mother, she is a "warrior" and a hero, and can do anything for her children, even at the expense.

At this time, there is no dilemma for her. No matter which road she takes, she hopes that the end of that road is to save her daughter.

Therefore, in the eyes of the public, Meizhu's request is a challenge to the ethical limit of "three incorrect views".

Because all we see is a wife's infidelity, a woman's betrayal, a "only choice" that can be ignored ethically.

The reason for this is that we are all ordinary people, so there will be human chronic diseases-prejudice, sympathy for the weak, ignoring the strong, such as Zhu's courage, he is obviously stronger.

Finally, they pulled away their "paleness", lay on the red bed and plunged into the red quilt, sweating profusely.

Just then, the piano sounded, and they seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and the look of hope began to climb on their faces. ......

In recent years, I like watching old movies more and more, because many times, when a movie is released, there will be too many "voices" around me, which will not only affect my independent judgment, but also cover up many things, such as the profound meaning of this movie.

It is true that Wang Xiaoshuai's Left and Right is far less mature than the later Auld Lang Syne, because he is also "entering middle age for the first time".

But at least, he saw the image of his mother here. Even if it is handled stiffly, it is very rare in a "film industry" with a male perspective.

Just like his original intention-because of love, so believe.

Believe me, Left and Right is worth watching.
