The whole movie is ironic, with slaps in the face before and after. Knowing a little bit of philosophy, it may be clear that this movie is full of irony. At the beginning, Kant's philosophy Kochi Abe was full of words, drunk driving, undisciplined, self-destructive, and anti-social. The school gave this pessimistic world-weary bedroom, but it was a cute little pink. In class, I talked about Kant in the first place. Let's just talk about Kant, but Kant's Critique of Practical Reason. What does this book mean? First of all, Kant believes that there are universal moral codes in the world. The ability of human beings to distinguish right from wrong is inherent, not acquired. In the second half of the movie, Jill embodies this innate sense of morality.
Secondly, Kant believes that true moral behaviors are behaviors done purely based on obligations, and doing things to achieve a certain personal utilitarian purpose cannot be regarded as moral behavior. So, Abe's killing of the old judge was out of ethics, while Jill was immoral (more on that later). Ironically, Abe’s actions at the end of the film are, according to Kant’s theory, the most immoral
Kant believes that whether a behavior conforms to ethical standards does not depend on the consequences of the behavior, but the motive for taking the behavior.
So, Abe killed an unjust judicial person out of maintaining justice. This kind of behavior, in Kant's view, is very moral. Moreover, the evidence for Abe's final verdict was a few lines he wrote on "Crime and Punishment." The protagonist of "Crime and Punishment" also praised Kant's viewpoint. Immediately afterwards, Abe said that the dirty world of reality is still different from the nonsense world of philosophical theory. Yeah, not the same, so in the end he was punished by his little lover. Rita is a professor of chemistry, but completely contrary to Kant's rational morality, he belongs to a romantic person with no sense of morality. At the orientation party, her husband showed up and ran away to bring her wine. As soon as her husband started painting, she started hooking up with new colleagues. Later, I passed by her house and invited Abe. Do you want to come in for a meeting? My husband is not at home~ After the heavy rain, I decided to send the wine, and finally I wanted to go to Spain with Abe.
Ironically, the chemistry taught by Rita was gradually established from the background of witchcraft along with the Reformation and Enlightenment. Perhaps due to the rigorous and orderly chemistry experiments, Rita's life is also very organized. Although she has slept with all the professors, she never loses the key. As soon as I am destined to go to Europe, I will discuss the details of the divorce with my husband. In Western philosophy, romanticism is the madness aimed at the rational order of the Enlightenment. Spain, which Rita dreams of going to, a country where Catholic Latin culture is prevalent, represents this madness. Professor Rita of chemistry, but very crazy at heart, is a romantic. Jill, a seemingly innocent and silly liberal arts student, is as full of emotional impulse as Rita. If he has a boyfriend and likes his teacher, he needs to confess to him. This seems naive, but in fact, Jill is the most realistic person in the whole story.
Having a pure and rich boyfriend doesn't delay himself from teasing his teacher. While chatting with the teacher, while lying with her boyfriend. Don't love her boyfriend, but still praise each other with false affection. Even on his birthday, he hypocritically accepted gifts that he didn't like, and was thinking of teacher Abe, who didn't congratulate him on his birthday.
After sleeping with Abe, Jill didn't tell the truth with her boyfriend. After the two broke up, the boyfriend couldn't help the green hat, so he took the initiative to make it clear. Jill expressed his concern and passed away. Even when Abe and Jill went to the amusement park and won a big prize for her, this can be regarded as the most romantic time of the two people's relationship, but the prize selected by Jill was actually a flashlight. Abe said that you are a real person. It's a pity that he didn't see it clearly, and it was this realistic little flashlight that punished him in the end.
Jill was very sad that he was not romantic in his eyes, but in fact Jill's reality was fully reflected afterwards: when Abe agreed to go to court, Jill quickly found the next home-to find his poor ex-boyfriend, and unexpectedly. There are still variables-wait until Monday to see the situation, Abe wants to do well, I will not come to you, if I need to do something, I will come to you. The young literary girl Jill, carrying her boyfriend on her back, took the initiative to push her to the teacher, looking for a spare baby before she might be broken up. This kind of realistic girl actually has a natural sense of morality and wants to report Abe who "walks for the sky". There is also an irony that Rita and Jill, these two women who love Abe, are very emotional on the surface, but in fact they have very strong logical thinking. The only two people who have penetrated Abe's strategy are the two of them. Finally, the title of the film, Irrational Man should be translated as "Irrational Man" or even "Irrational Man", which is the protagonist Abe. There is a famous book about existentialism in the United States called "Irrational Man". And the "evidence" for Abe's verdict happened to be the existentialist novel "Crime and Punishment". It was written Hannah Arendt's "Mediocre Evil" under the plot of the protagonist's confession of murder, and the following string of names, The first one is Raskolnikov, the protagonist of the novel. He believes that extraordinary people are not bound by secular laws, and that the promotion of the world depends on extraordinary people, and he is precisely this kind of person, so he carefully planned a murder conspiracy. The bottom one is the last name of the movie's protagonist Abe, Lucas. So what is a "rational man"? The Chinese is not very clear, but the English definition is actually very clear. Rational man, rational man, is a hypothesis of Western philosophy and economics. It means a person who can pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages according to the actual situation, and pursue the maximization of individual interests. The word Ration originally meant the "share" obtained under the resource allocation system, and rational people wanted to maximize their own benefits.
Abe drunk driving, playing Russian roulette, sleeping with colleagues, killing judges, and being engaged by students, all irrational behaviors. Ironically, when he finally chose to be a rational man, he was punished.
Jill quickly changed his house after finishing the work, and the elevator door camera turned to the beach. He said that as time goes on, this thing will slowly pass. Is it really helpful to have a boyfriend who loves you? Understand what kind of person I am. In other words, she understands that she is a realistic "rational person." Abe said, "The best course is not in the textbook." He didn't expect this lesson to be his own.
