There is a tiger in my heart, and I sniff the roses silently

I believe that everyone has imagined that if there are no rules in this world, they can freely release the beasts in their hearts at will, and it will be more fun to ask for anything in this world. We can eat whatever we want, sleep whatever we want, torture whatever we want, and become the master of the world.

But this film gives us a new perspective, that is, not just ourselves, but all people in this world can do whatever they want, so what will the world become.

I saw 1 word: class

I think there are three classes:

1. A young and rich generation like the male protagonist works hard and has a lot of room for improvement. He knows the warmth of the world and is unwilling to hurt others or be easily hurt by others;

2. The old-fashioned rich generation (or rich second generation) such as the male protagonist’s neighbor and the rich second generation of the arrogant children, on the one hand, they do not have much room for improvement, and their psychology has lost the sunshine; on the other hand, they are in They have received incorrect education in important life periods, and divided society into low-level and high-level, believing that removing the low-level can make the society better, but they ignore the value of each individual;

3. A group of people who are at the bottom of the society and still can't get out of the predicament.

In the end, we found that no matter whether there are legal constraints in this society or not, the class will always exist, and the gap that crosses the class will always exist (just like the male lead family, who cannot enter or understand the so-called higher class). It's just that the dominance of the higher class over the lower class has changed, one is more moderate, the other is more cruel.

From a personal emotional point of view, I still like this movie very much. On the one hand, the subject matter is very novel. On the other hand, as a novice father, the communication between father and son in the film has given me a lot of inspiration:

There may be many rules in this society that violate morality and original intentions. Since they exist, there must be his reasons. When a child encounters these rules in his growth, our influence on him should be: it exists, we meet it, we understand it, we turn a blind eye, we make trouble silently, and we insist.

But the overall scene is not big enough and bloody enough, and it still doesn't match the rendered atmosphere. It has a weird feeling. I won't give it five stars.
