conditions of hell

"GHOST" was the first Video Compact Disc I bought. Later, I got something like DVD. After a long time, I couldn't hold back, and I replaced the previous VCDs with DVDs one by one, including this famous "Human Ghost". Love is over". A few days ago I unintentionally turned it out and took a look. I didn't expect to revisit the classics after N years, and have a completely different feeling. In fact, the ordinary love in it is completely untouched at the time, but I found that the director has a naive and lovely view of good and evil. When Sam died, he went to heaven to meet the angel, and when Carl died, he was dragged to hell by the demon. This is in line with the values of good people, and it is also very relieved, but I accidentally think of a question: who should go to heaven and who should go to hell? Who has the final say? It would be too boring if all the work was judged by God, and it would be a failure to notarize if only one person had the final say. Then there should be an objective standard here, but I thought about it and didn't come up with it. That big bad guy killed people and went to hell. It can be said that he deserved it. If killing people is the standard, then Carl has never killed anyone. He was just a little greedy and wanted to make some money. By the way, greed seems to be the first of the seven deadly sins! However, if greed can be a sufficient condition for hell, then God is too strict with human beings. According to this calculation, there must be a lot of things in heaven, and there must be a lot of excitement in hell. And, most importantly, by this standard, it is very likely that he will not be immune to becoming a citizen of hell in the end. Thinking of this, I feel a little nervous and a little funny. "GHOST" is not a fairy tale movie, but it has a simple and clear view of good and evil like a fairy tale. I think in life, the director must be very cute.

[Sam is crouched on the subway station-floor, attempting to push a bottlecap with his finger. The Subway Ghost is laughing at him]
Subway Ghost: ...What the hell are you doing? You're trying to push that with your finger. You can't push it with your finger! You're dead! It's all in your mind. The problem with you is that you still think you're real. You think you're wearing those clothes? You think you're crouched on that floor? Bullshit! You ain't got a body no more, son!
[Taps his forehead]
Subway Ghost: It's all up here now! You want to move something, you got to move it with your mind! You got to focus, you hear what I'm sayin'?
Sam Wheat: How? How do you focus?
Subway Ghost: I don't know *how* you focus! You just focus!
[the Subway Ghost kneels and flicks away the bottlecap as if it were a marble]
Sam Wheat: How did you do that?
Subway Ghost: You take all your emotions! All your pain, all your love, all your passion, all your rage! Just push it all the way down into the pit of your stomach! And then let it explode, like a reactor! Pow!
[the Subway Ghost kicks a soda can across the floor]
