Lake Eden illustrates this brutality from another angle.
There are not many people who are really cruel and violent, but there are many people who dare not resist and accompany evil.
The boy who takes the lead in the film often coerces others to do something, and takes them into the water to control them. The classic tactics of gangsters, try a hundred spirits.

It must be said that the Nazi Party massacred Jews largely because of Hitler.
During World War II, Japanese officers often asked those recruits who had never killed a few civilians to kill a few civilians to practice their courage. Practice with blood would no longer cause their guilt and guilt, and they became numb and inhumane. Before that, they were just ordinary workers or students or farmers, just like everyone else in the world.
It is easy for people to identify with authority, and it is also easy to identify with their own behavior, except for those with firm beliefs.
Whether a person is forced or because he has no principled bottom line to agree with authority, as long as he repeats his murderous behavior many times, he will gradually find reasons for his behavior.

Don't provoke confrontation, just go as far as you can. If they can't run, kill their heads quickly - kill the one who gave the order by surprise, and the rest of the people will be well-behaved. This is the best way out of necessity.
