the silent majority

Of the 85-minute small film, at least 70 minutes of it is showing: the evil is approaching the enemy and the current people's psychology and actions. . . Do you think the remaining 15 minutes is the birth of a hero? It is very realistic. Everyone has various reasons to give in.

If some people stand up, more people will stand up, but when there is no "majority" to stand up, everyone will choose to remain silent. Sporadic 1 or 2 people who are not silent suddenly realize that no one is coming, and suddenly turn their heads and become silent. No one is willing to die, not willing to die alone for their collective responsibility, except for the child and the useless alcoholic.

Group silence is a terrifying atmosphere. When the collective chooses to remain silent, once someone insists on the principle, not only will they not be supported, but they may be excluded. The original enemy was temporarily ignored and you became the biggest enemy. Without you, the diehard, it seems that everyone would not be in such a dilemma. It's not funny at all, this kind of thing happens in life.
