Death at a Funeral: Playing with Human Weakness with Death

The film starts from the perspective of making fun of death, and uses the funeral stage to fully demonstrate the weaknesses of human nature, such as: inferiority and jealousy, hypocrisy and hypocrisy, conceit and despicableness, as well as typical egocentrism, neurotic cleanliness, mercenary money worship, The extremeization and exaggeration of outdated and rigid secular concepts, etc. Or it is at this moment when the right and wrong have lost their right to speak, and the other side of human nature can be truly shown. If it is said that this is only the patent of Westerners, I do not agree.
Although it is said that Chinese people, whether it is the inheritance of historical fashion or the feelings of real life, death, like survival, is another kind of sacred and inviolable object, and the world after death is full of imagination and fear, so we pay more attention to Funeral solemnity and respect for the deceased. But please think back carefully to the social life in China today. It is not uncommon for families to be broken up or even hostile because of the distribution of inheritance and property. Unscrupulous profiteers who slap swollen faces and make fat people, hate society and even psychopaths because of their inferiority And so on, under the impetuous social atmosphere, the ugliness of human nature is fully exposed. I don't understand why the purest family love has to carry the stench of copper on its back? I don't understand why some people insist on saying "white" as "black"? I don't know why the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, which have been passed down for thousands of years, are "depressed" because of the phrase "diversification of life choices"? I really don't understand what some people call "existence is reasonable". The complexity of human nature is doomed in the womb, but is "self" really that important? But the earth will not explode without anyone; can money, property, luxury houses, luxury cars be exchanged for happiness? But buried the heart of a gentleman and a sense of shame from ancient times to the present. The wonderfulness of this film lies in its explicit portrayal of human nature. I think the director's subtlety and good intentions are equally applicable to today's China.
When the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation gradually become a paragraph to be recited in textbooks, when there are still disadvantaged groups who dare to speak out, when angry youths can loudly denounce the injustices in this society, when all the ugliness has not become commonplace, when When someone dedicates his life to others, please stop chasing, scramble, revenge, and sacrifice your life to earn money, look at the gradually forgotten conscience around you, listen to your heartbeat again, think about yourself act. Don't wait until after you pass away, even a little bit of your last dignity has been trampled on! !
