Why are you suppressing my inspiration?
-
I recommend you a movie called "three Monkeys".
this is a film that won the best director award of the 61st session, from Turkey's genius director Ceylon.
recently, I have encountered some interpersonal things, thinking of the movie I have seen, and then thinking of the allusions in the film, the three ape statues from Japan. Presumably everyone has heard of the three ape statues, the three monkeys, do not see, do not listen, do not say.
the three apes are common images on the stables of the Japanese gods. There is a fairy tale about these three monkeys in Japan, in which the mother monkey begins to worry that the baby will be affected by the complicated outside world when the baby is young. So warn the baby monkey not to look, not to listen, not to talk.
however, as the baby monkey grows up, he can't stand the narrow world around him, so he is more eager to see the outside world, but he obeys his mother's instructions, so he is worried and unhappy. As a result, another monkey found the depressed monkey and came to comfort her. the two monkeys who had been together for a long time fell in love, and then the monkey got pregnant. When the monkey gave birth to a baby and became a mother, she also began to warn her children not to look or listen. No.
and the story goes on so dry and over and over again.
this painting impresses me very much. It comes from, James Jean, a freelance illustrator from Taiwan who now lives in Los Angeles. When I saw this painting in college, I really wanted to shoot the creation of the concept photography class based on this work.
each of his paintings is like a treacherous fairy tale, ink streamline, with Chinese-style magic color.
just like this painting, more and more social experience tells us: shut up, talk less, out of sight, out of mind.
before I went to college, I was always the same as that baby monkey. Until now, my mother is still teaching me to talk less and don't listen to what I shouldn't listen to.
but then I found that, at some point, I flinched.
I was afraid to express my opinion on many things, and then I found out that I was not the only one.
it is precisely for fear of taking a wrong step that we simply do not take such a mentality, which leads to the stagnation of many things and the slowness of the process.
I have a classmate who has a good relationship and studies painting in Lumei.
she is a very thoughtful and creative girl. Now she works as an illustrator in an advertising company after graduation. She has her own style, but many clients don't need it, and many ideas have to be drawn in accordance with the requirements given by the company. She always refrained from saying it, and later, in order to protect herself, she had a lot of good ideas. Later, when I looked at her works, I found that I still seemed to stay in the original way, and there was nothing particularly amazing. It feels like a pity.
then she resigned and did her own freelance illustration.

before leaving, he asked his boss: why do you suppress my inspiration?
there are many things in society that tell us not to say, not to listen, not to see.
We follow the rules in the same way.
rebellion is repressed, so the fire of inspiration can never be ejected to the right place.
A lot of things we've never tried to do the opposite, so we can only go on so mediocre.
some words are to be said, some truths are to be seen, and some voices need to be heard. If we all turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear, and remain silent.
We may cut off the most direct way to get in touch with the outside world. the world gives us freedom and opportunity in order to allow our sensory abilities to continue to develop. Open the senses to get inspiration from a myriad of messages.
