Foucault believes that madness once held a high position in the totem of Western civilization since the beginning of the Renaissance in the 14th century to have an equal dialogue with reason, and those lunatics wandering on the fringes of the city are often regarded by the government as a threat to social stability. Driven by a large scale, they boarded the fool's ship heading for the unknown distance and began a purposeless journey of exile. Every time they arrived in a new place, these mad people muttered to themselves like prophets, uttering sentences that ordinary people could not understand. Local residents were both horrified and curious about the group of unsuspecting intruders. No one knows where they came from or where they are going. Exile means deprivation of their original names and identities, but here it symbolizes the liberation of people who break through many of their own limitations.
The sensational destructiveness of madness sometimes forces human beings to face their nature, sometimes transcends the boundaries of life and death, and is not afraid to challenge the moral dogma established by traditional reason and religion for thousands of years. The domestication of the deviant has made the deviant terrorists taciturn. To a certain extent, superhero comics are also in line with the contradiction between madness and people. If the fanatical worship of superpowers is linked to people's inner desires, madness symbolizes unshakable faith, which brings together A powerful provocation of rational order (a mysterious organization that does not believe in the development of self-potential and believes that it will cause public panic).
However, when breaking through human potential becomes a moral issue, whether it is a hero or a villain in the comics, it is not allowed to exist in the real world. After all, in the eyes of most ordinary people, people with superhuman abilities seem to be independent. Crazy people are immoral after all (the Western traditional Christian doctrine stipulates that there can only be one God), and they all need to use modern medicine to treat mental illness, imprison and torture patients indefinitely, and perform leukotomy to correct them.
To me, this is also what makes Saye Malan's "Three Powers" so wonderful, not only because he connects the unrestrained heroic comics with criticism of a modern society that seems to be free of action but shrinks in thought, but more importantly The heroes and villains in the film failed to accomplish what the audience wanted them to accomplish: destroy or save the world, create their own legends, but chose to become the origin of all subsequent stories, although they failed to become the immortal Don Quixote in the end. De and Lady Macbeth, but they can board the ship of fools with their heads held high, so what if no one knows? Having overcome the threat of death, they have been transformed into crippled witnesses to the truth of the universe (the modern rebirth of "madness").
