Is the word "heartwarming" a positive or a derogatory?
In a trance, I remember that I wrote in a previous article, when I first filmed Huanzhu, Zhou Jie had an argument with the screenwriter because of this word.
The word "heart" seems to be a positive word at first glance, because it has the meaning of "warm" and "intimate". However, in a specific context, the use of the word "heartwarming" can have some pejorative overtones.
It is said that during the filming of "Huanzhu Gege", Zhou Jie had a dispute with the screenwriter because of the word "heart". Zhou Jie believes that the heartwarming should refer to a kind of inner touching and warmth, and it is a sincere expression of emotion. The screenwriter, on the other hand, may think that the heartwarming refers to a kind of hypocritical politeness, a false expression of emotion.
Zhou Jie's point of view represents the positive usage of the word "heart", that is, a person sincerely cares and considerates of others, which makes people feel warm and touched. The screenwriter's point of view, on the other hand, may misinterpret the word "heart" as a pejorative use, that is, to denote a superficial, false concern and thoughtfulness, but in fact there are bad motives and behaviors.
Therefore, the use of the word "heartwarming" needs to be judged according to the specific context to determine whether it is positive or derogatory. If a person genuinely cares about others and makes people feel warm and touched, then the word heartwarming can be used to express it. However, if one's concern is superficial and false, then the word heartwarming should not be used.
In short, the use of the word "heartwarming" needs to be judged according to the specific context to determine whether it is positive or derogatory. At the same time, it is also necessary to be careful not to abuse or misuse when using. This time in the Ghost Blowing Lantern series, I saw that the actor said this line, this time it was "the heartbeat of losing", so this time it should be derogatory.
