please don't be silent

The only condition for evil to prevail is the silence of the good. ━━━ Edmund Burke



movies always tell us about the case, but the extreme case has a reasonable background in which it happened. I often think that a good movie is just a calm record of narrative facts, it does not generate opinions, it does not shout high, it does not urge you to continue watching through propaganda and skills, it is often just a depth bomb that explodes in your heart and makes you all After the emotional rage collapses, it rots in the heart, acts as a stench of fertilizer, and finally blooms the flower of thought. Yes, it does only one thing, turning emotions into thoughts.

Right now I'm listening to the "Forge" soundtrack and writing about how I feel after I've calmed down. When I watched "The Furnace" last night, it made me clench my fists and cry four times. Yes, this movie drained my emotions so much that it nearly broke me. Let me tell you I'm a boy first, but I'm not ashamed.

Some of my friends have said that I have a high EQ or a low EQ, and I know you have different perspectives. I would like to say that emotional intelligence should not be just about being well-versed in the world, relying on alcohol to create the illusion that you and I are a community, attracting people, playing social games, responding to other people’s preferences and giving praise, and finally achieving self goals and continuing to maintain existing relationships. Emotional intelligence is more about perception and empathy. It is when you imagine yourself as a victim or client to obtain their emotions. It is the natural release of emotions when they reach the node of self-control. It is the use of your original anger to curse and avenge the original sins of the world. It is about bravely making good choices and calmly accepting the consequences of that choice.

In my chest, there will always be a moral gun for judgment. When I do something wrong one day because of my self-confidence and disregard my conscience, I will definitely shoot myself. And a lot of people in this world don't have this gun on their chests, they turn this gun at others, shoot in dark private spaces, and shoot in bright public places, when all of humanity knows that you get away with power and relationships At that time, you were shooting at all mankind...

Seeing this, you may think that you will not become such a wicked person, you are just a commoner. Well, let's go back to this general sense, and back to the general sense of film criticism.

I think "The Furnace" can even be regarded as an enlightening inspirational film, it teaches people to be good. The eloquent narrative method is reminiscent of the equally excellent Korean film "Memories of Murder". In the past few years, South Korea has made a series of films that discuss human nature in a vacuum background, such as the films of Park Chan-wook, Kim Ki-duk, and Bong Joon-ho. The director always uses extreme ways to tell the depth of sin, and seems to especially like to talk about revenge. In recent years, South Korean directors have impressed the audience when dealing with some realistic movies, such as "Horror Live", "War on Crime: The Heyday of Bad Guys", "New World", etc. After watching these Korean movies, you I think Korea is very similar to China and Hong Kong in temperament, but I think Korean films are better than Chinese films and Hong Kong films. Leaving aside the great State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of our country for the time being, I think Korean directors have a foundation. After discussing human nature for several years, they naturally have a foundation in dealing with realistic themes, while Chinese Hong Kong films are relatively superficial and are too much restrained by the market. There are few masterpieces showing the roots. "The Furnace" reminds me of "Christmas Rose" again. It is also a sexual assault theme, the victims are also disabled people, and there are court scenes, and "The Furnace" has a calm narrative force. Just proceed slowly, and finish all that is to be said. But it touches on the anger, pity, and powerlessness you feel as a bystander to the event, and this unambitious movie gets the credit it deserves.



The twin principals in the film remind me of my junior high school head teacher, who lived downstairs and thanked him for giving me a miserable adolescence. In order to improve the grades of his class, he used all kinds of extreme means to make poor students and their parents unable to bear it and finally transferred to another school, insulting, ridiculing, corporal punishment, all kinds of evil. , I'm proud of having a different kind of adolescence, and I thank them for empowering me to be more creative at the same time as violence.
The handicapped children in the film were abused in childhood, and more serious sexual violence. This is a huge disaster for a child. I would rather see a child who is not creative than a child who suffers from human suffering at the beginning of life. In the film, the male protagonist Inho discovered Jin Yandou's talent for painting. Looking back at this clip of the film, I feel that this is a great irony. Is this a blessing from God to the abused...
I'm just using my own empathy to perceive, and I think those kids who suffered divorce and domestic violence in their childhood (I'm not, don't fucking guess) survived, in addition to being more creative, and also more Compassion, social responsibility.

And the character of the male lead in the film made me secretly admire him. He was a good gentleman, tepid. He had a dream of painting, but his wife died prematurely, and his daughter was brought up by his mother. He only loses control once in the entire film - smashing a car window with his fists when the defense's defender verbally threatens his daughter. He is an ordinary person with a dull response (when the principal's wife spit on his face, he just asked you in surprise), but there is a lack of silent practitioners and people like him in society.




I suddenly remembered a lyric: "This is not great, I just want to tell the truth." Looking at the daily news on the Internet, there are a lot of dirty things and scandals. Before we can digest them, we are fed the next wave of dirty and scandalous things. Because we are not the victims, not the parties involved, these dirty things and scandals are far away from us, we have our own lives, we still have to support our families, there is nothing wrong, there is really nothing wrong, I do not mean to accuse. Sometimes when we forward a Weibo for help, we feel that we have done a lot of things. Public opinion and public opinion can play little role under the power, and sometimes even because the irresponsible media spreads misinformation, public opinion does a disservice and gets involved in the incident. of innocent ordinary people suffer unnecessary harm. But there are three things we can do:

1. When we become victims, stand up bravely and defend ourselves, including life, dignity, property, etc. When the goal cannot be achieved by legal means, we can carry out revenge by illegal means, which may be life, so you have to accept the fate bravely and let the criminals be punished. I often think that successful revenge itself is an inspirational event. When your relatives are killed, you are left alive in this world. If you have a sound personality and a tough character, you will definitely kill your enemies at any cost. This is the most basic duty, and this has become Your life, your life is at stake in this kind of thing, you must save your own life, through legal or illegal means to achieve the ultimate goal, revenge. avenge.
2. When the people around us are persecuted or when we are relatively close to this event, when the information is correct and the evidence is conclusive, we must stand up bravely, add courage to them, and create favorable public opinion for them, including online channels and demonstrations. Rally, give testimony, etc. Although the pressure of public opinion is not the decisive factor, it also plays a role. Don't be disdainful of helping others just because the power is small. When you are being suppressed and persecuted as a mass, please don’t complain about your initial choice. Your initial choice to help others is not wrong, but the government’s fault lies with the suspect and criminal. If you choose not to help, you can quit. You have a clear conscience, because we all know the meager power of the masses.
3. When we find that there are lawbreakers and morally depraved people around us, we must stand up bravely, expose and report them. When it is time to file a lawsuit, we must file a lawsuit, seek help from others, and even use gray methods to pass the law. Official relations achieve the ultimate goal of winning lawsuits and punishing criminals. This is also your life, when this kind of thing really happens to you, you think he is inhuman, you are angry, you can't bear it, please continue your anger and use it as a driving force, please don't cover up the truth, I know very It is difficult, I know that you are still a vested interest in the organization, but please stand up bravely. This is your life and your mission. Maybe you can choose to wait until the day you leave the organization and then confess the criminal. Many people do this, but it is not the best choice, but I understand your difficulty. This is the only retreat I have found for you, and the only retreat I have found for myself.

Finally, a clip: In the film, the heroine meets the principal's sister at the door of Minxiu's family. She has already obtained the negotiation letter. As soon as Mingxiu's grandma sees the money, she stamps it. The principal's sister sneered and said to Zheng Youmei, "It's ridiculous, no matter how poor, no matter how illiterate it is, when her grandchildren encountered such a thing, they agreed to be private because of a few money. This is true, and it's not that I can't understand it. There is such a son, but he lies in the hospital bed all day long, his daughter-in-law runs away with others, and the grandchildren are deaf and mute. Even I feel that God is a little bit unacceptable.

Rewatching this clip, I'm speechless again, ashamed of giving such an optimistic solution to many of the problems above. We have given birth to a good child in this life. Too many people have been abandoned by God. Does God really exist... And how can she say such a thing? Disabled children should be given more love, but they are once rejected by society. times rape. And what's wrong with grandma, poverty and ignorance always go together, maybe they can live a little better with that money, and the two grandchildren have already reconciled in heaven... The only condition for evil to prevail is the good ones silence. Sometimes good people are not conscious silence, "silence is golden" has become the most daily survival motto in society. There is nothing inherently wrong in the way of survival of the easterners, otherwise there would not be these great nations that survived. Rather than condemning a large number of silent people, it is better to legally and severely punish a small number of perpetrators.
