The Handmaid's Tale is a horror story set in hell. We think that we are in a civilized society, but in fact, we are only allowed to have civilization, but because of the current social process, civilization is more conducive to the rule of the ruler, so the ruler who holds the armed force and the power of the state is willing to generously disguise Just a well-dressed gentleman. If the development of human society comes to the point where the ruling class with absolute armed forces judges that destroying the existing civilization and destroying the established order can help mankind escape from the desperate situation, you will find out in despair that civilization is nothing but a name blown by the powerful. The giant bubble of heaven bursts when you poke it, and you are hanging on the cliff all the time, and there is hell under your feet.
It never occurred to me that one day I would only watch a few episodes of a TV series and have a thorough and profound understanding of Marx's concept of the state: "The state is a machine for one class to oppress another, a machine for all dominated classes to be controlled by one class. "It is also deeply rooted in memorizing a true or false question in military theory: "The state is an organized and systematic violence machine of the ruling class." The correct answer is: √. Then shudder.
I once watched "120 Days of Sodom", one of the top ten banned films in the world, out of curiosity and curiosity. This film was so cruel that it made my scalp numb and disgusting to the point of disgust, but it didn't make me understand these things deeply. Probably because the film is about history, and history is naturally savage, violent, uncivilized, and uncivilized. The background of the story is at the end of World War II, when everyone knows that the human order was out of control. So this "horror movie" just won me the simple sighs of "Once human beings lose their restraints and release their animal nature, their abnormal cruelty will be outrageous, and they will make all animals bow their heads and bow down to their servants" and "Long Live Peace". And the reason why I have only just watched a few episodes of The Handmaid's Tale, and the background of the story is only a rough understanding, and it is not necessarily accurate, and it touched me so deeply, because although the story is fictional, it tells about the future, the future a possibility in the world. The civilization stage of the background of the story is the civilization of our current stage of human beings, and what the story breaks is the current social order. Then quickly rearrange the appalling inhuman order, and reshape our worldview in a very short time, forcing us to obey this hell survival law. The cruelty of the story lies in the fact that we were born as human beings, and we have been ordinary human beings for decades, but we were sentenced to not be human beings overnight, forcibly depriving us of the basic human rights we were born with, and becoming a complete The victim of persecution is not an isolated case, but a class, and it is not the individual who persecutes us, but the ruling class that holds the power of the state. And we are soberly aware that human beings can't rule out the possibility of the future story being played out, so we can empathize with it and fall into fear and despair.
