speech can form a bridge to the unknown.
——Adolf Hitler This
film shows three different interest groups in extremist organizations. The first is the "skinhead". These people are impulsive and irritable, forming cliques all day long to disrupt law and order. In the words of the film, "They are fighting with blacks and Jews every day, or with their own people." Their means of influence is "violence", and they are regarded as cannon fodder and worthless lackeys by the other two interest groups.
The second interest group is a religious force led by Da Zhuang. They regarded Hitler as an idol and worshipped gods, and spread extreme beliefs through various religious ceremonies, such as birthday parties, coming-of-age ceremonies and other activities. They have their own bases, training facilities, and even their own terrorist attack plans. But the main method at present is still religious brainwashing and controlling young people. Being despised by the "skinheads", thinking that they are just talking and not practicing fake styles.
The third interest group is a spokesperson force represented by "independent broadcasters." They are the "spokespersons of pro-ethnicism," who constantly promote extreme racism through broadcasts, videos and other forms, collecting gossips and piecing together various conspiracy theories to cheer up extremist organizations. Some of them are considered to be people who truly understand the racist mentality, and even become spiritual leaders of extremist organizations. But they are only responsible for "spreading ideas" and do not participate in actual armed conflicts and intrigues between forces. Whether it is for faith, money or social status, I am afraid that only oneself knows its true purpose.
So the spoiler is coming. Which force is the violent skinhead, the Nazi archbishop, and the radio celebrity who are really conspiring to carry out the terrorist attack? The answer is that none of them have the backbone to truly give their lives for the "ideal world". Even the skinheads who are full of power and greed and advance are afraid of going to jail; the mysterious Nazi archbishop just wants to consolidate his strength and "steadily develop"; and the reputation is even more straightforward, for the safety of his life, he directly sells to the FBI after learning some of the truth. Up the organization.
Those who are really willing to give everything for the ideal world are those "decent people" who are rich and well-placed, who have no worries about food and clothing.
There is a well-known psychological theory called "Maslow Theory", that is, people's needs are based on income. Using the power in the film as an example, when people such as skinheads, archbishops, and celebrities are still worrying about not having enough food and clothes, their real needs are money and status; and decent people with rich lives are Will pursue the satisfaction of the spiritual world.
Hunger, fear, and dissatisfaction are the driving forces for people to make changes. Speaking guides them. It is repeatedly mentioned in the film that "people see the world according to their own will and only see what they want to see." Whether everyone will hear the violent remarks promoted by the famous mouth on the radio, the difference lies in their own understanding. Those who yearn for violence see violence in this passage, and those who desire money see money in this passage; and those who desire to make a change in the world, even if they are crushed, see it as encouragement and hope.
This is the horror and sadness of racism and extremist forces. In a conspiracy full of secrets, desire and greed, the terror is proclaimed through clever tongues, and finally turned into blood by people with withered spirit and desire for change. And violence.
There is also a paragraph from the movie: Every terrorist in the world has a common characteristic, the victim.
The film also gives us thoughts on how to deal with terrorism and extremist intrusions. The government should choke its voice "throat" and at the same time try to solve the most basic living needs of the people at the bottom. Only in this way can the extreme forces be resolved from the root cause and more people can be protected from harm.
