The ones who survived are neither the mean nor the cynics

Looking at the comments, many people think that it is meaningless for the male and female protagonists to survive, and those who are stronger should survive. Such as a murderer, such as a ruthless person, such as a special case of a loner and so on. Some people think that the two surviving people are purely moderate people, representatives of cynicism. Others say they survived because they are the main characters.

Popularize two concepts, moderation and cynicism.

Moderation is not mediocrity, not some kind of rotten good person who wades through muddy waters and makes promises. The central idea of ​​Doctrine of the Mean is the Doctrine of the Doctrine of the Mean in Confucianism. Its main content is not neutrality and mediocrity as commonly understood by modern people, but its main purpose is to cultivate human nature. The mean is the nature of man who is neither good nor evil. In terms of human nature, it is the origin of human nature, the fundamental wisdom nature of human beings. Zhongyong first emphasizes independence, so it is definitely not a vassal. The so-called compromise is not as simple as cutting the left and right sides in half. Moderation is actually a kind of balance, everything is just right, that is, moderation, no more or no less, impartiality.

Cynic, the original definition was very serious, because it is too far away from our current life, so only the definition in the environment we live in now. To put it simply, "saying one thing and doing another" is the basic characteristic of today's Chinese cynic culture.

Therefore, moderation and cynicism have nothing to do with each other. Speaking of this, I will think of how many people now know the correct meaning of words such as behind closed doors, unsatisfactory, and crowded? How many people don't even know the correct meaning of them, and they just quote it with their mouths closed, and they are not confident enough?

Watching a movie itself is a matter of differing opinions, so why must we have a unified view? If they were set as the protagonists, so they survived, what's the point of discussion.

What I see here is that they are extremely rare people in that environment who can still trust others so they can collaborate. No matter how brave you are fighting alone, you will rarely be able to match the vitality of a good team. If it is because they are too stupid to integrate into the game quickly, they cannot follow the rules of the game very well. So who stipulates that the rules of the game must be followed? If you participate in a game and find that it is not you who plays the game but the game that plays you, do you still want to abide by this rule?

After watching the whole film, you can ask yourself, in your heart, is there someone you absolutely trust?
