"BOY A" ("Song of the Barbarian"), the Chinese translation is really exquisite, the whole film is a dirge that touches the soul. I don't want to talk about the family issues reflected in the movie and the various effects that family conditions have on the growth of children. That's a matter for the parents of the children. I just want to talk about us, our group of bystanders.
He was only a child, but most of his memory was only prison. He is simple, lonely and autistic. He is eager to integrate into this new and unfamiliar environment, he is eager for love, strong friendship, he is eager for new life, and he is eager to live like a normal person. In his eyes, there is no difference in identity between friends, so he has always stubbornly defended his only friend who died. It is precisely this simplicity and this beautiful expectation of human nature that caused the tragedy after his identity was exposed. .
At an age of ignorance, under indifferent disdain, he made a mistake, and he was unwilling to live that kind of helpless life. The prison life has fulfilled him and gave him hope for a new life, but he was naive and never thought that behind the kind smile was a nightmare that destroyed everything. And the maker of this nightmare is every one of us, every kind bystander.
Why can't you forgive him? Just because he killed people at an age of ignorance? Why can't we see his change? Do you have to put him to death? I think we all love ourselves too much for fear of any harm to ourselves, so we doubt everything, other people are hell. Tolerance is gone, it is the most precious asset that our society lacks. Everyone kept shouting, "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! …" In the end, we all killed ourselves.
He's still just a kid.
