City of the Snow Lion
hi space...
we went to see the movie TIBET: City of the Snow Lion today. it's great, interesting, sad, sorrow, hurtful, and it make us angry.
it's a documentary about the oppressive relstionship that China has been given to Tibet. it's incredably burtal.
forgive me if what i am going to say is accidentally pissed you off but i hate chairman Mao. i''ve never liked him and his policy. the only thing i like about him is when he's a graphic prints on my t-shirt. it's one of my all time coolest t-shirt designed by Alan Chan, an HK artist.
Mao killed many innocent chineses because he wanted to prevent western culture to hit China. He killed both right and wrong targets in order to create the awarness to chinese....years later after his death, china started to open itself to the world...and see what it is like today...it's been westernized in a very imbalancing way. the debates about old and new culture start going on and on amoung chinese.
as a result, Chinese after living under this oppression policy and got brainwashed, break it off to the freedom with no balance. however i see this rebel as a threatening breakthrough. i sense that the effect of this oppression will be a driven force to make china become an extremely dangerous nation that will slowly take over every country in the world. as you might have seem part of that already.
the reason of that is because the imbalance in political perspective, the life that has been living in fear, the lack of freedom...create massive resentment that needs to be released and it also twisted the mind of the person. scary driven force it is...same as the deep ocean waves under the smooth surface.
Mao stepped in to Tibet coz Tibet is geographically essential for controlling the rest of Asia.
the Movie also presents the relationship between Tibet and US, and US and China, and Tibet and UN.... OH MY BUDDHA...politic is ****!...if you have chance, you should watch this movie, i'm not going to talk about those relationship coz it's disgusting.
however, there's no documentary is a real documentary...it's all semi-drama with factual moving images. the interview parts does not mean that teh person who is interviewed is telling all the truth. the editing, the scripts, the perspective are presented based on the director's bias.
it reminds me to 'turbo4me's journal' when he wrotes about a line in one japanese movie...yes, we've never actually seen anything. i have to agree with him...and that is ebcause we have bias, fear, greed, love, hate, lust, etc., we haev to see with our mind's eyes when our minds are crystal clear.
anyway...i say all of thise from what i've heard, seen, known, studied...it's all reception...and reception does not always mean it's true...it's what affects me and my iideas and my perception. and theset come out of the reception...
hope i didnt confuse anyone.
ciao!
