我们天生喜欢香,极少喜欢臭。自然规律也显示:香料能使物品保存持久。这其实已经用气味指明了方向,所谓正道,就是千古流芳。于是在古人面前,很多不同类别的名词汇成了一种通感:芬芳、侠骨、馨香、大义、正气、至善、……古人相信,任何选择都会自带气味标签。但吊诡的是,在历史重要节点上那些意见截然相反的人,无不坚称自己都是正气使然。而作为后来人,我们也确实发现,随着深入了解双方,越来越难以评判。香,究竟是客观共识,还是辩证的转化?本片选取与五位古人命运相连的香料,串起他们曾经在那些重要节点上的冲突和选择。
The comic himself told us, “I’m excited to have my breakout piece be with a company that nurtures vision like HBO does. I’m grateful to them, and you, for watching.”
