Unthinkable - Unthinkable.
Socrates said that if you think that a precious life should spend time weighing his prospects of life and death, you are wrong. No matter what he does, he has only one thing to consider, whether he is doing it right or wrong, like a good guy or a bad guy.
Teacher Luo Xiang said that if we cannot find a belief to die for, we cannot have a belief to live for.
These two paragraphs are very shocking, and also arouse my values.
Many years ago, on the issue of the trolley problem, I had no obstacle to believe that five lives must be greater than one life, and it must be just to protect the big and the small. Mr. Luo's thinking shook me, and this movie really reversed me.
A "terrorist" with three nuclear bombs was standing in the middle of the mall waiting to be caught. He is a member of the U.S. military and a Muslim. He was prepared to be brutalized, but made no demands.
When he was wounded to the point of death, he made a request, simply asking the president to order the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East or the bomb would detonate. The foreign policy of such a big country can't be at the mercy of a "terrorist", and the torture will intensify. He was in pain, but everything seemed to be under control. He told the address of a bomb, which was actually a detonating device. Unfortunately, the frustrated military detonated the bomb in the mall on the other side. Of course, no one would think it was their fault.
They went even further, killing his innocent wife in his presence. He still did not give in when they brought his child in front of him in an attempt to torture his child in front of him. The conscience of some of them was raised and the children were rescued. He told them where the bomb was hidden. However, when they found out that there was a fourth one, their conscience was trampled on, and everyone began to defect and support the torture of children. Because tens of millions of lives are compared to two children, which is more important?
Only the heroine shouted the last cry of humanity at this time, we are human, let the bomb explode, we cannot make such a choice.
But who could still listen, he looked at the heroine with warm eyes, and after saying please take care of my child, he ended his own life. The fourth nuclear bomb is about to be detonated, but is it really a "terrorist" who detonated this nuclear bomb?
The film's deep thinking on human nature makes the viewer almost tremble.
There are no big scenes in the whole film, only the horrific portrayal of torture to extract confessions. "Vengeance" in the name of justice, treat the perpetrators of terror in a terrifying way.
Gandhi said that true non-violence is more powerful than the most powerful violence.
When we fight violence with violence, we become just another believer in violence.
Why wasn't the detonator in the movie the president who refused to withdraw troops from the Middle East, why wasn't the executioner who used violence to injure others or even kill innocent lives, and why wasn't everyone present who acquiesced or even turned a blind eye to this?
Solitary palm is hard to cry. Every violence has a source and an excuse to justify it. Do terrorists act without a source? Don't they think their name of jihad is just? There is no end to the killing, and there is only one wide road to sin.
The fire of justice is the root of the continuation of human civilization. The definition of justice should be absolute, and justice has been clearly told to people in the Ten Commandments. It's just that everyone can have a reasonable explanation when they violate it.
So true justice may be the only belief we should live for, and the only belief we can die for. It is better to die than to be the slave of the devil in ignorance.
