It is impossible for a group of people—the society to operate normally, well, and steadily without corresponding rules, but if the rules only focus on the normal operation of social machines, without considering living people As the fundamental condition of a creature itself, falsehood and deception will penetrate into people's hearts without being noticed, and even disappear without a trace before our eyes.
The protagonist of the film, a family of three, came to their villa on an island outside the city to spend the weekend. This was originally a very pleasant thing, but the intrusion of two strange men made it a vacation to hell. At the beginning of the story, when a family of three drove past the door of the neighbor’s villa, they invited the neighbor to help. Later, the hostess complained that the neighbor’s wife did not greet her, but it was a bit strange.
Sure enough, a long-haired white-glove boy appeared in the courtyard of his villa later on by the neighbor’s husband. In fact, at this time, the neighbor should call for help or join Tim Rose to capture him, but he had no choice but to consider his wife’s safety. He didn't have any rash thoughts, and it brought troubles to the neighbors' family. After that, Naomi Watts also caused safety risks to the neighbors who came by boat. This cannot be said to be an isolated phenomenon, because they all considered it. They chose to do this for the safety of their family members, but in the face of such innocent gangsters, it is clear that their fluke expectations are futile and selfish.
The young man came to borrow the egg and broke it for the first time. Naomi Watts did not blame him out of politeness. Then he bumped the phone into the sink and borrowed the egg again. Gradually, she was in the same polite request again and again. Hostility and anger occurred. I think the most fundamental reason is that this young man violated her private property and private space. This can also be seen from her repeated requests to go out later. Modern people can easily understand the reasons for this hostility. Being infected produces sympathy. But in fact, many, many years ago, people lived a real group life. There was no concept of private. "Private" was regarded as an act that violated collective interests. It was unforgivable. However, with the development of Renaissance and capitalism The concept of development and privatization has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the people, and has gradually evolved into our current universal values. The private property and family relationships formed on this basis enable our society to meet individual needs while also bridging every individual. Together.
I think the reason for the protagonist’s behavioral judgment is not simply a matter of personal fear. It is what I said at the beginning of the article that there are loopholes that cannot be ignored in certain rules of maintaining the operation of society, although these loopholes are covered with glamour. The thin layer of politeness, family happiness, politeness, personal freedom, etc., but once this thin layer is ruthlessly torn apart by two equally polite white-glove youths like this, they can The effective response is very limited and limited. At this time, the relationship between the neighbors was suddenly torn down from the social level. The victim regarded the neighbor as the savior, but at the same time, when the family members were threatened, they would not care about the safety of the neighbors. I can't help but question what value scale is the normal value of family relations, neighbor relations, and social relations? How can we determine the correctness of this scale?
Of course there are some coincidences or exaggerations in the film, but as Naomi Watts said to the White Glove Youth, "How dare you do this?!" Yes, no one told us that anyone would dare to do this, or even you. I often hear that no one dared to do such propaganda, but there may indeed be people who dare to do this. He dares to do so because he understands the whole truth of the false education of society. At this time, the social rules became the only weapon he used to manipulate the victim between his hands. He used a cruel method to tell the incompetence and hypocrisy of the social rules, but it did not mean that we should approve of such behavior. We should reflect on the incompetence of our social rules. We don’t need false prosperity and happiness, but we need to be truly aware of what human life is like in the final analysis, and to what extent human behavior and psychological activities can reach. On the other hand, even if we encounter this situation accidentally, we will deal with things based on human fundamental values, such as reminding neighbors to avoid safety threats, rather than selfishly avoiding family members from being harmed, because even this will not help, on the contrary It will cause a vicious circle like the beginning and the end of the movie.
The Wenchuan earthquake this time is just like these two white-glove youths, cruelly tore through some false appearances of society, and let us truly realize the situation of people when they are alive.
