However, it is undeniable that laws and regulations targeting groups, such as group gambling, fighting, and gang rape, are also based on individual behaviors, and the final recipient of the program must still fall on a specific individual, or a natural person. When a thief is beaten to death with a stick, he must be held accountable, a crowd must be held to fight, and he must be asked who will do it first. After a gang rape occurs, there are accomplices and principal offenders, and sentences will be imposed on the basis of the degree of injury. These are all individual punishments. Measures have nothing to do with groups.
I accidentally saw this film after some patriotic acts, and I had to admire the director's calm and composed narrative skills. There are many types of films in terms of expression techniques, and there will be special features, while this film is more objectively reviewed. The whole incident, and try to restore the original appearance of the truth clearly, starting from the court debate, constantly interspersed with alternate narratives, there are few subjective shots in the whole film, but calm participation itself is an attitude, the director hopes to be able to reproduce, Awakened my long-sleeping personal consciousness and gave me a lively educational lesson.
The mother in the film is lonely and relies on ironing to make a living. More importantly, there are a large group of children waiting to take care of her. All her life focus is on making ends meet. As for the lover played by Lan Lan, she is purely soy sauce. The role, whether it is for the movie or her life, so any so-called mistakes of Sylvia, in her opinion, are provocations and mockery of her living environment, and it is not difficult to understand all kinds of crazy abuses in her films Behavior.
However, children may be the group with the weakest group consciousness, but they are more imitative. They are obviously used by others. From an evolutionary point of view, they belong to a lower life form, so they are irritable, blindly obey, exaggerate facts, and emphasize so-called criticism. Spirit, when you are in the unconsciousness of the group, even if you don’t understand why you get together, whether it is forced by life or helpless, it doesn’t really matter. The key is that the group warms them. We emphasize individuality because we are afraid of human nature. Slowly disappearing in aimless groups, zombies are like this, and people who have lost their personality are equally terrifying.
Convicted by a jury and judged by a judge, I know very little about the jury system, but from the perspective of human nature, are there some blind obedience among them, and some groups are unconscious? If someone is found guilty, but confesses to the crime, or even sheds a fake tear or two in order to avoid or mitigate punishment, there is no guarantee that the jury will rely solely on the evidence and not be bothered by emotional factors. Appropriate punishment, but due to the "justice" of its location, this unconsciousness will still be forgiven and ignored by the group, that is, except for the jury, everyone who appears at the trial scene, even the criminals themselves, and pursue them. In the final analysis, the law needs a result, whether it is guilt or innocence, whether it is committed or not, whether it is in line with justice and morality, these all need a result, I am glad that the case has a just verdict, everyone cheers and raises a glass to celebrate, if this The mother was found not guilty or was exonerated on the grounds of mental illness. People were only suspicious of the system, and would not blame a specific individual who made the system. Of course, there are exceptions for dictatorship, so this is still a manifestation of unconsciousness.
For some things, we must keep in mind its conclusions, ignoring weak explanations and contradictory defenses. In the film, the lawyer represents the party of procedural justice. Every time he is questioned, each questioned object conforms to the norms required by the procedure, while the defense She weakly denied, even the children she claimed "must be protected" came to identify her mother, at that moment, I believed that she was collapsed and incomplete, she understood her actions, and clearly knew to admit The consequences, the evidence is solid, we saw a happy ending, but Sylvia did die, died of the group's unconsciousness and tiny superimposed injuries, cigarette butts couldn't burn people, and the tear caused by the Coke bottle was not enough. Deadly, but desperation can murder everything, even time, time to wait.
When it comes to children, we usually think that they are lying all the time, and their lies are understandable, and we think our cognitive level is strong enough to cover the insights of the young, who says not? Parents seem to feel this way more strongly - I teach you to walk, talk, write, and you know more than I do? In the film, Sylvia's mother who repeatedly tormented her with such an attitude, so she could effectively control the children's public opinion and behavior in the early stage. Until the incident happened, maybe the children were still worried about their mother's feelings, and they still regarded her as a child. The unshakable leader and authority in the group, as for they will let more people mutilate Sylvia, who she thinks needs punishment, the punishment is also heard from the mother, they don't know why it is punished, and they don't know it. How long will this punishment last, are the children fools? No, they are too scared, as is Sylvia's sister, who has to obey because she is scared, and Paula's jealousy is an important reason, even if the poor Sylvia didn't do anything, and she didn't directly participate in the abuse, but what happened undoubtedly gave her a great pleasure and energy, and the relationship between Sylvia and her mother in the film was not very good, her unscrupulous Her boyfriend caused her to get pregnant but escaped. Of course, Paula was also the culprit behind all these tragedies. The fact of her false accusation caused her mother's emotional outbursts for many years. As for when this punishment will end, as long as they are still in such a bad survival situation In this world, and in the bad environment of 20 dollars, such tragedies will never stop.
