Doctor Dad is the guardian of non-violent confrontation, but also has moral flaws, cheating is violence against his wife. The world is full of violence. He was gentle against violence in Sudan and Denmark, but he was forced to use violence to overcome violence. He failed to convert the local snake in Sudan, and the two children also used violence to relieve their hatred. Love and influence are weak and powerless, but there is no good ending to fighting violence with violence - the local snake killed one and a group, and the son almost died. The current violence does not point to itself, but to the ecology of violence, as well as the intertwined love and hate in people's hearts.

  • Christian: [after testing some explosives] Fuck! That was sick! Imagine if we use one of the big ones. His car will be blown to pieces.

    Christian: Your dad will be pleased.

    Elias: I'm not so sure.

    Christian: Doesn't matter. No one will find out. Are you in or out?
