"This condition is well known in the limbs of the dead: at one time, in the season of vigour, all the limbs are led by "friendship" and united as one; at another time, driven by the power of hateful "quarrels", they They are separated from each other, wandering and blurred on the edge of life. Whether it is plants, fish in the water, beasts living in the mountains and forests, and water birds spreading their wings in the sky, there is no exception.”
Empedocles believed that the universe is composed of four elements, water, fire, earth, and air. Two motive forces, Philia and Neikos, unite and separate the four elements, allowing the natural universe to be what it is. Love brings things together, hate separates things. Empedocles' naive natural philosophy does not extend to the similarity of a body and a city-state like the younger generations, and the stories of these limbs coming together and separating have not yet had a metaphor for the relationship between people. Here we might as well follow Plato's speculation: Is the clutching and reunion between material clumps similar to the clutching and reunion between human beings? Is it love that brings society together, and hate that makes people turn against each other?
In "Mysterious Eyes", there are two themes, the first is justice and the second is love. Justice is what the protagonist constantly seeks, and love is what the protagonist finally gets. But are the two related? Why mix two disparate concepts together? What is the relationship between justice and love? Does justice need love? Does love need justice?
What is justice? In all ethical views, justice is about a pair of antonyms: virtue and well-being. Justice is the concord of virtue and well-being, being deserved, rewarding the virtuous and punishing the unvirtuous.
Justice in the film is ultimately achieved by punishing the unjust—and this punishment has a huge price. First, the victims turn to public power and the judiciary. But the judiciary acquitted the offender because he was a party informant. Families of victims with nowhere to go have decided to rely on themselves to get the criminals punished. For revenge, the victim's husband paid the price: detaining criminals for decades and moving to a remote suburb, away from the people. But the motivation for everything started with the love of the victim's family for his wife.
This is often reflected even in life: in the face of injustice, people often do not act radically. But if someone else suffers appalling atrocities, then we persist more than we did ourselves. The pursuit of justice is often because of intolerance to others. The motive for the pursuit of justice is often love.
So is love and justice related? Since the realization of justice may not be so fast without love, then if there is no justice, will there be love in this world?
Has Argentina experienced such a difficult time? The director depicts a court and a political party that are heinous and unforgivable: firstly, they use the underworld to fight against differences; secondly, they use judicial power to seek public benefit. When the protagonist and Erin went to the judge's office, the judge was saying to the two young people: "Those two who raised their hands, I want you to catch them and find them."
From this short 30-second paragraph, two messages can be deciphered: 1. Judges punish some citizens by means of non-public power (through triads, informants); 2. The reason for punishment is to express dissent (raise hand). From this, the image of a ruling party has been revealed: colluding with thugs, parties fighting against differences, and the use of power for personal gain that is really related to this case. In such a court, justice cannot be defended, and even the ruler himself does not want to defend his authority by public means. The relationship between people has regressed from the contract back to the era of war between people and each other. In an age like this, a person who wants revenge and judgment has no choice but to do it himself.
In an era of war for everyone, equality is incredible. The strong devour the weak, the weak submit to the strong, and crawl on the ground, as ordinary as the earth revolves around the sun. In a time when everyone is at war, love is also incredible. Love can only be a good deal. In the eyes of the judge, there is no friendship between a high school graduate and a top student at Harvard or Cornell, between a boss and a subordinate, and it is impossible to conclude a marriage relationship-in the gladiatorial battle of the social arena, one cannot choose to be with him. Teammates with disparate strengths. This is the person-to-person game, the status game. All who seek liberty must contend against it.
what world is this? Love is based on status, there is no justice, only personal hatred? what world is this? Only by killing each other and taking revenge can we make the virtues consistent and justice be done? It's a society without society, people just physically gather in groups. Fear separates people from each other.
In a world without justice, people face powerless fear. Powerlessness means to be eliminated, a word used for machines that aptly describes the anxiety of people climbing the social hierarchy when they are fighting each other. People are dehumanized, their richness is stifled by social class labels. People are no longer people, but become numbers in a sequence.
Where there is no justice to speak of, serenity is the way to survive. In any case, show your aggressiveness and testosterone levels to the fullest. Sissy can't survive in the jungle. When the female prosecutor noticed the criminal's gaze, she pressed her neckline for the first time. A feminine sensibility, she detected the lust and castration anxiety of this weak criminal. When masculinity is a privilege and an honor, the loss of privilege is the greatest insult a biological male can suffer in his life. He was going to stand up and tell everyone that he had to take his pants off and show it to the camera so the audience could see how big he was. A sissy in a herd cannot live. Male anxiety is also anxiety about social status: it is the jungle society that needs to show and show off its force every day to avoid being looked down upon, ridiculed, eliminated, and overwhelmed by others.
The female prosecutor may not understand this. She tells the male protagonist that only sissies can use A. The latter's novels are full of handwriting altered to A. Fear is ultimately love plus an A. Teamo. Love always needs to be weak, love always needs to forget the status, love always needs to leave the era of male anxiety and power anxiety. Love belongs to other times, love belongs to sissy times. Love belongs to the age of justice, to the age of no fear. Love belongs to the future.
