What is the intriguing plot of the Chinese film "The Warlords"?
After watching the movie "The Warlords", I was thinking, thinking has been stuck in some plot of the movie, has been thinking about certain issues, feel that this is a controversial, thought-provoking film. Three brothers in the film, in addition to the eldest brother Pang Qingyun, the other two are veritable heroes of the rough. The three brothers vowed not to kill each other in full view of the public. Three people call brothers and brothers, at the beginning defends the promise that they establish, unite, unite as one, the career that partnership does is flourishing. Arrived later critical moment, however, there was friction between brothers, opinion disagreement, especially old Pang Qingyun and second Zhao Erhu in dealing with the views of some problems, conflict is the biggest. Pang Qingyun in order to achieve great ego, cruel will be in the heart of the second Zhao Erhu killed to get rid of, sweep away the obstacles in his heart, self-righteousness for the interests of the people of the world, and forced to take the strategy. Zhao Erhu is so unclear, in the brother Pang Qingyun's trick, unjustly died. Pang Qingyun got what he wanted when he was a senior official in the imperial court. He stood up and begged the court for a temporary exemption from taxes on behalf of the people, thinking that the people of the world would be relieved from hunger and cold in the near future. However Pang Qingyun's big dream of life will eventually be fragmented, although the world is not a crow general black, but it is not so beautiful in his imagination, cheating, corruption and other ugly quietly in the interpretation. Although Pang Qingyun is an undisputed hero, it seems to me that he has unconsciously lost his humanity. Pang Qingyun already violated original intention, already violated the oath that their 3 siblings set up at the beginning. Give me the feeling, Pang Qingyun is to pick up the watermelon, lost the sesame, forgot the most important thing. Playing a metaphor, his original intention is only to get sesame, watermelon is outside the body, but the result he somehow got the watermelon, give up sesame, away from the theme. Just like the examinee writing a composition, as long as the examinee digress, no matter how good the essay is, it will get a pitiful low score. Originally, the three brothers shared weal and woe and forged a deep friendship. But later Pang Qingyun is ambitious, with killing brother for the price, round his grand plan, its results show that he has lost the human nature, forget the promise, forget the friendship between the brothers. A hero has broken his promise. If the hero is truly virtuous and human, he should spend the rest of his life in a state of guilt. This is not to give yourself an invisible shackles, guilty of their own life. Ridiculous Pang Qingyun thinks his strategy is perfect, but he does not know the truth of the pure official field, will be full of loopholes, a crushing defeat. When he was plotting against others, they were plotting against him behind the scenes. Just as "a mantis catches a cicada after the yellow sparrow", each mountain is higher than the other, and each ring is linked to the other. This kind of artistic conception is like the artistic conception of a poem like this: "When you look at the scenery from the bridge, the scene-beater looks at you from upstairs." It can be seen that Pang Qingyun's abacus will not be fulfilled, and he will eventually accompany his life. Cleverer men had turned their guns on him, and he knew nothing of it. Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu, Jiang Wuyang three brothers at the beginning of the promise there is such a "kill brothers, will kill." Pang Qingyun to the heart of the scheme can succeed, secretly sent people killed brother Zhao Erhu. Jiang Wuyang learned the truth, filled with righteous indignation, decided to revenge for the second brother, personally take a knife on the stage and eldest brother Pang Qingyun launched a life-and-death struggle. Even if others did not calculate behind the curtain Pang Qingyun, Pang Qingyun also can brew bitter fruit from oneself, kill each other with once good brother, this is the consequence that Pang Qingyun breaks promise, he already lost humanity actually. A man without humanity, it is impossible to achieve great achievements, more impossible to be loved by others. This is not a comedy, but a harrowing tragedy, in the end three brothers kill each other, no one has the last laugh, no one wins. "The Warlords" this film is not ordinary, it seems to reflect some human truth, I saw it twice, the first time, the whole story shocked me, so that my mind solidifying in a memorable plot. Some time later, I downloaded and watched the film for a second time, trying to understand some of the human nature that I had not understood before.
Ma KevinPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsI give you my "word"
Howdy. My name is Eric. I'm level 41. About to level up again. 42 this July 30th. I was thinking the other day about your "word". When you give someone your word. Back in the day, whole sales were made just based off if one's word. Thousands of dollars of land, machinery, and houses. Heck even in 2006 when I bought my house we got a $122,000 loan from the bank my parents have always banked at. It was a Friday and we were supposed to meet to sign the paperwork but my father couldn't be there. He had cows get out at the last second and couldn't make it. But the guy knew dad so well, he had banked there for so long that he just had me sign and let my dad give his word he would be on Monday. And that was good enough for the loan officer. He gave me a $122,000 check without my father's signature. Of course, my father came in Monday and signed his half. Try that nowadays.

Life, do not have to be strong as the sun, do not have to towering clouds; Wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the moon hanging, will eventually wither.
黄小二Published 2 years ago in ConfessionsIt takes a lot of effort to live a normal life
I only go shopping on Saturdays or weekends. Buy a week's worth of food. Today, I went to the vegetable market and saw the price of pork rising again. Last week, it was 15 yuan a catty. Today, it's 20 yuan. Do you want to buy it or not? Definitely. Eat some, no matter how expensive it is. I lived alone and didn't eat much, so I bought twelve dollars.

I often wonder: the spider web, from the fixed side here to the fixed side on the other side, some can be more than two meters apart, then, how does this tiny spider hang the silk so far from the opposite side? Can spiders fly? But spiders don't have wings.

Underneath it all
The Un-Experiment - Post #2 Underneath It All I love to laugh. There is something so freeing about releasing pent-up emotions by full-on belly laughing. I’m talking doubled over with tears streaming down my face. Or just a burst of laughter or even a simple chuckle over something I’ve watched or read.
Heather HublerPublished 2 years ago in Confessions Hello, stranger, can you give me a motivational word?
Many years ago, I always believed that people live for the sake of living. But now, several years later, I think that one does not live for the sake of living. People should pursue, people should have a goal, if a person has no pursuit of no goal. As if a gossamer, just floating in this noisy world of a grain of dust, in a hurry to may also be in a hurry to go. Live to have expectations, live to miss, I live for myself, but we can not live only for themselves, in that way, when we look back on the past, because of our mediocrity and regret, because of our wasted time and regret. To live is not only for oneself, to live should be pursued, to live a good look, to cherish! Human being alive is a natural law and a cosmic phenomenon. Why does a newborn child live? This is nature, and without it there can be no reason. On the basis of this nature, there is the why. Some people live a noble, some people live mean, because the day after the environmental impact, because the day after tomorrow the enlightenment and the environment to their ideas, ideas to dominate their behavior, so has the branch of the noble and despicable, or life or death are the nature, the influence of the thought and the environment and conditions, only the life and death for different reasons. To live is heavy, to die is free and easy. To live is a kind of happiness, to die is a kind of sorrow, depending on how you understand it! What do people live for? In general is for their own, no matter someone said for fame, for profit, for love, for society, or for parents and children, this is a kind of excuse, imagine you were born to know fame, profit, love, society and so on these things? Some people say that to live for their parents, that is more self-deception, I would like to ask, if you live for your parents, so once your parents 100 years later, will you go with them? If not, aren't you living for yourself? Of course, what you said is not unreasonable, because people come to this world, through contact, slowly know that in this world, if you want to survive, you have to go to struggle. To pursue. So say for this, for that each has its own reason, but in the final analysis is not to live for yourself? What do people live for? This is too philosophical a question. Some say it is to eat, drink and play, some say it is to live for fame and wealth, some say it is to live for a duty, some say it is to live for family, some say it is to live for parents, some say it is to live for children. The world, life phase; Days and months fly by, and life is short. Life exists for a reason, this is all a bunch of excuses, life exists is existence, this is the reason for life. The world creates the value of human beings. The value of life reflects the goal of life, and the realization of the goal of life depends on personal struggle. Perhaps there are some elements of opportunity, these far-fetched words, but the individual irresponsible words, who can really live for whom! Ask yourself, why bother looking for good reasons when it's about you and yourself? This is not personal utilitarianism. Each person is the smallest unit of the society, only everyone in the social order to live a truly wonderful, then the society is wonderful, life is more wonderful. You, the people around you; What you hope for, what you wish for; Whether ordinary, extraordinary, everything is wonderful. If you must give a word, then I hope to live for happiness to be wonderful! What do people live for? For thousands of years, different people have different answers. If you ask me, people live for no reason, just because we haven't died, so we live. Perhaps the answer is too simple and superficial for intelligent human beings, great human beings, to think of it, or to say it if they thought of it. It's like suddenly asking a philosopher, what's one plus one? He would never say 2 right away, because he always thought there was something going on there. So I say: people live for we are not dead and alive! Natural life, there are no laws. Human beings change with the evolution of society, no one can say clearly what people live for? Perhaps to preserve the continuation of the natural human race for the sake of another life!
An angel with broken wingsPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsIs growing up as awful as it seems?
Yes and no. So I am probably what you would consider an old (early 40s) and yes growing up is absolutely awful it really is. You know I think every kid thanks to themselves when I become an adult I'm going to do whatever I want I'm grown no one's going to tell me what to do and then when you become an adult that does not happen. So maybe by that time you're no longer living with your parents although given the state of rent prices in this country a lot of adult children end up moving back home but even not including that your life constantly feels like it is controlled by others. If you are working for someone else you are having to give a great chunk of your time at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week probably doing work that you absolutely hate doing just so you can be told when you can take a lunch break when you can take a cigarette break and when you can leave for the day. And adding further insult to injury your pay is insulting because it's not even covering basic needs such as rent food utilities Child Care etc. There is a likelihood that if you are living alone by this time you will probably have roommates and God help you if they are horrible because then you have to contend with other assholes that either or obnoxious or they don't want to pay their share of the rent or they make too much noise that sort of thing. If you are in a relationship that may be even extra stress for you especially if that other person does not really have the same values that you do and if you two are not communicating if there isn't that mutual respect and understanding and care and concern for each other you're going to have a lot of problems. Same thing with your friends once you become an adult. Hopefully, you will have good people in your life that you can bond with that really care about you and you care about them and you're both contributing to each other's peace as opposed to contributing to each other's stress. So because adults have to invest so much of their time working and meeting the basic needs they don't have as much time as they would like to rest take on hobbies go for a walk enjoy conversations with people that they care about just to be able to do those things that make life beautiful.
