When Seligman started talking about those feminist rhetoric at the end, I thought it was too cliche, but it didn't disappoint me at the end. Sex has always been the most primal and strongest driving force (one?) of human beings. Seligman knows so much, I still feel sorry for him. Some things are human instinct, please openly accept your existence as a human being.
When I finally felt that Joe didn't shoot J because of subconscious love, and she was actually a "good person" at heart, the end of the movie told me that I still know too little about human beings and think human beings are too simple. Joe is really a warrior who insists on himself, a brave human being. But I don't know if this level of bravery and ego is "right". She said that most people are too stupid to deserve democracy, and insisted on calling black people negro, which made me think, is it really stupid that we talk about political correctness every day? Or fall into a set trap, in which some hypocritical humans fall into it and are full of superiority and complacent.
Self-confidence is really a precious human quality, but when Joe shoots people for it, I start to doubt it again. But if you insist that you have limits, you will undoubtedly set a framework for human beings. "Others", "Others", moral codes, society are all frameworks. After thinking about it, human beings are really not free to live. If you are not free, there are still so many of the same kind who are unwilling to accept their own instincts as human beings, unwilling to admit that human beings cannot be spotless. So many such hypocritical human beings and "I" coexist in a cage, making the human survival situation even more difficult.
Thinking about it this way, maybe the only antidote is love. In the first part, Joe's friend B said to her "the secret ingredient to sex is love", I think it may be more than sex, love is the only antidote to the sad existence of human beings.
