Oedipus is a typical tragic figure in the history of ancient Greek literature. He is the son of King Laius and queen Jocasta of Thebes in Greek mythology. But without knowing it, he killed his father and married his mother. Homer, a dramatist, and Sophocles, a great master of tragic fate, enriched his tragic fate in the ancient Greek drama "Oedipus king".
The influence of ancient Greek culture can be deeply felt in the whole western culture, and the deep-rooted patricide plot can be seen everywhere. Oedipus can be regarded as a masterpiece of tragedy, and similar cultural heritage can be found in the whole myth structure.
Uranus, the first God of heaven, was castrated by his son Cronus, while Cronus, the second God of heaven, was overthrown by his younger son. From then on, Zeus was established as the only supreme god of Olympus. The two generations of gods established their own status through patricide.
Uranus means "source" in Greek, while Cronus means "time". As the root, once entering the process of development, it will enter the course of time; In the course of time, everything will enter a process of successive replacement of the old by the new. This is not only a myth, but also a philosophy.
This is the patricide spirit originated from ancient Greek mythology, and its influence on the whole western culture is immeasurable.
Aristotle's saying, "I love my teacher, I love truth more", which can be understood as a challenge to Plato, a teacher, and reflects a spiritual "patricide". Later, American philosopher Duran called him a great spiritual "patricide". So that later the whole history of western philosophy basically showed a process of spiritual patricide.
Of course, they also have something that can't be killed, that is, absolute idea, absolute spirit, that is, the Supreme God in religious culture. Therefore, when Nietzsche announced that "God is dead", it also marks the extreme of Patricide spirit, which is a personal tragedy for Nietzsche, and a milk sniper for God.
The so-called patricide can be understood as the overthrow of power, the overthrow of rule, the overthrow of spiritual pillar, the completion of the process of growth and inheritance, and finally the completion of incredible transcendence. It is not only a manifestation of killing, but also a manifestation of inheritance and transformation. Especially in the patriarchal society, the image of father is often a symbol of unreachable goals, only beyond the father can promote the progress of the times and society.
Up to now, patricide spirit can still find traces in countless Western cultures. On the one hand, they set up a spiritual symbol that can not be surpassed or overthrown; On the one hand, they are ready to overthrow this symbol and create a new era of their own.
It is precisely this kind of dialectical contradiction that leads to countless tragic art and philosophical speculation.
In lanli's view, "pop drummer" has such a tragic color.
To be sure, the last generation of "pop drummer" is a wonderful work, but what if you want to be more outstanding? So how to excavate the theme? Perhaps, patricide complex is a breakthrough.
"The relationship between Andrew and Fletcher can be seen as an evolution of inheritance and transcendence. In the relationship between suppression and being suppressed, between teaching and looking up, Andrew was an apprentice at the beginning. He only followed Fletcher's steps and grew rapidly under Fletcher's guidance.
But with the advance of time, the ambition of surpassing authority and overthrowing power began to wake up in Andrew's body. On the one hand, because he is eager to achieve the highest level of art, he always hopes to create an era and school, which is one kind of ambition; On the other hand, it is because he is eager to overthrow Fletcher's brutal repression, not only surpassing, but also crushing each other.
In essence, Andrew and Fletcher are the same kind of people who refuse to compromise in order to achieve their goals and build power. All the auras are always around themselves. When they complete their transformation, all the stepping stones along the way can be pushed away and abandoned. If necessary, they can sacrifice everything, such as dates, such as family ties, such as close friends.
Of course, it also includes my 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 finally broke out and surpassed, completing the breakthrough of anti control, reversing the situation of control and being controlled, suppression and being suppressed between the two people. At the same time, the development curve of the two people also changed. "
The inspiration of Langley has been completely gushed out. After stepping into Andrew's world step by step, it is like a treasure, constantly digging out more and more stories and connotations, and gradually enriching the content and details of the performance. This is a very interesting process, which makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
Damien can also deeply feel Langley's enthusiasm, and his eyes brighten up little by little. He further added, "what's more amazing is that Fletcher and Andrew share the same idea. Fletcher not only didn't resist, but also welcomed. He consciously guided Andrew to grow up step by step, and stimulated Andrew to resist. When Andrew completed his transcendence and patricide, Fletcher also achieved his perfection and passed on his spirit and will. "
"Just like..." Damien tried to find a figurative metaphor, but he couldn't find it.
Lan Li added, "it's like sacrificing one's life to become benevolence."
"Yes, yes, that's what it means! Sacrifice yourself to succeed. " Damien nodded, the whole person was excited, and all the sparks in his mind began to crackle.
it is beyond logic and above reason!
Absolutely incredible!
According to Lan Li's conception, the existing story will go further and radiate unprecedented vitality.
According to the original script, this is a story between teachers and students. The whole focus is on students' breakthrough and transformation, and the real pursuit of the highest artistic level; But after the interpretation and interpretation, it gives the patricide color of ancient Greek tragedy, from a simple teaching process to a process of artistic inheritance and innovation——
Fletcher in order to pursue the perfect realm of art, he sacrificed himself, let himself become Andrew's sacrifice, and slowly guided Andrew to complete the transformation; In order to pursue the highest level of art, Andrew's hands were covered with blood, and he killed Fletcher's power by himself. After killing his father, Andrew really changed his body and achieved the perfection of art.
In the "black swan", the discussion is about the blurring of illusion and reality. Only when the actor really blurs the node completely and integrates with the role completely, like the White Swan and the black swan, can he really feel the absolute perfection.
Among the "pop drummers", the inheritance under the patricide plot is discussed. Only when the children overthrow the authority of their parents, inherit and carry forward, can they complete the transformation and create a new era.
With the deepening and thickening of the character setting and the core of the story, the whole story of the "pop drummer" suddenly radiates a completely different vitality. Damien can even conceive some lens changes——
In the first half, Andrew always looks up to Fletcher, while Fletcher always looks down on Andrew; In the middle, the lens can present a relatively parallel perspective; Later, Andrew began to look down, while Fletcher gradually became weak. This is the simplest change, but it can truly show the angle change of suppression and anti suppression.
Furthermore, the switch between light and perspective can also deduce more metaphors.
Everyone says that a good actor can make a film, even though the film is the art of the director. Now, Damien really understands the meaning of this sentence, not only acting, but also giving vitality to the characters and stories through acting, thus promoting the imagination and creativity of the director.
Of course, the premise is that the director has enough space and leeway to allow such vitality.
Damien suddenly had an idea: is this the reason why Langley is so careful and critical when he selects his works?
But Damien didn't ask after all. Sitting opposite lanli, he was still a little nervous. Everything was like a dream. Even now that he was ready to turn on, it was still like this: "do we need to have a chat with JK? He is also an important link in the whole relationship between confrontation and resistance. "
"It's up to you." Langley threw the question back.
Damien was stunned and waved. "Are you implying that I'm Andrew? I didn't say that. Although it's based on my high school experience, I'm not as crazy and paranoid as Andrew. "
"Craziness and paranoia are bad things for ordinary people, but good things for artists." In fact, most artists and philosophers are crazy in the eyes of the secular world, because their way of thinking is different, which makes their way of artistic creation.
Then he went on, "no, I didn't mean anything. I just said that if Fletcher is clearly aware of his role and identity in your definition, his role setting will change, and you need to tell JK in advance
"But?" Damien knew there was more to come.
"However, if Fletcher doesn't realize this, he just suppresses completely with his own strength, but he suddenly realizes it in the last performance. Instead of continuing to suppress, he opens his mind, prepares for sacrifice, and becomes the last force to push Andrew across the finish line, then you wait for the last play to tell JK."
Langley went on to make his point.
Melissa and Blake, who were standing nearby, were completely at a loss.
