 lk: Once Upon A Time In The Middle East - Values & Propaganda</a>\nWhat do
 es a film’s portrayal of conflict tell us about the values it wants us t
 o embrace? Who becomes the hero\, whose suffering matters\, and what are w
 e encouraged to believe about the world? Join Leon\, a psychologist\, for 
 a Watch & Talk exploring values and propaganda through selected scenes fro
 m Once Upon a Time in the Middle East. We’ll examine the film’s messag
 e\, discuss how it presents Chinese values\, and consider the image of Chi
 na as a world player that emerges from its depiction of people from differ
 ent parts of the world caught in violent conflict. Together\, we’ll expl
 ore how storytelling\, emotion and character choices shape our sympathies
 —and where entertainment\, national identity and political messaging ove
 rlap. What distinguishes expressing a perspective from promoting propagand
 a? Which portrayals feel convincing\, and how might audiences from differe
 nt backgrounds interpret them? All perspectives are welcome\, and no knowl
 edge of psychology\, politics or filmmaking is necessary. Whether you’ve
  seen the film or know nothing about it\, Leon’s chosen scenes will give
  everyone a starting point for a thoughtful conversation about the stories
  we watch and the values we take away. Let's sit back with good friends in
  comfy chairs and watch an important new and groundbreaking Chinese film t
 hat's making waves around the world. And\, of course\, let's have a deep\,
  smart and fun discussion about our mutual journey! 一部电影对冲突
 的呈现，能告诉我们它想让我们接受什么样的价值观？
 谁成了英雄，谁的痛苦被当回事，我们又会被引导着去
 相信这个世界的什么？跟着 Leon 来一场观影聊片吧。他
 是心理学家。这次我们通过《欢迎来龙餐厅》的精选片
 段，聊价值观和宣传。我们会看这部电影传递的信息，
 讨论它怎么呈现中国价值观，也会想想它通过描绘不同
 地区的人卷入暴力冲突，塑造出了一个怎样的中国作为
 世界参与者的形象。 我们会一起探讨讲故事的方式、情
 绪和角色的选择是怎么塑造我们的同情的——以及娱乐
 、国家认同和政治表达在哪里重叠。表达一种视角，和
 搞宣传，区别到底在哪？哪些呈现让人觉得可信，不同
 背景的观众又会怎么解读？欢迎所有视角，不需要任何
 心理学、政治或电影制作的知识。不管你看过这部电影
 ，还是完全不了解，Leon 选的片段都会给每个人一个起点
 ，来一场有想法的聊天，聊聊我们看的那些故事，还有
 我们从中带走的价值观。 [...]
