But this small group made the most wrong decision. The basement owner with persecuted delusions ordered all lights to be turned off (As a team leader, you should have a consciousness of focusing on the safety of the majority of people. It's a pity that Mickey lacks this fundamental element of leadership, so such a leader will only act arbitrarily, and ultimately destroy everyone including himself-in fact, the final outcome is like this).
The wrong decision of the basement owner Mickey caused a lack of communication with the people who entered (the identity of the person who entered has become the mystery of the film. From the well-trained tactical movements and the laboratory equipment that appeared outside the basement, it looks like a soldier or a large company. Private mercenaries), anesthetized the little girl who had not received radiation infection from the other party and put it into a confined space (checking whether there is bleeding in the gums and whether the hair is falling are the two major factors to determine whether the radiation sickness is received), and the intrusion can be seen The people here want to save those who have hope of survival, and the sealed channel in the basement that isolates the external radiation dust also confirms this point.
Mickey’s turning off the lights and the subsequent failure to communicate effectively with the invading people led to the fighting and exchange of fire between the two sides. After paying the death price of the two, the invaders retreated, but still did not seal the basement, indicating that they were at least ready to come in again or It is a big problem to communicate in the later time, why the two sides did not communicate in language. If it is the US military, it is impossible not to talk to the survivors. If it is a US corporate mercenary, it is impossible not to talk. Talking (it seems that even China can make a respirator that can talk to each other. I don’t understand why there is none. Maybe the director said that if there is none, then there is none).
But afterwards, Josh took the initiative to investigate and made the situation out of control. Let's take a look at what Josh's attack got? He knew that the child was there, but Josh, who was a little bit mentally troubled, didn't confirm whether he was alive or dead, and wasted a precious opportunity. What is also gained is the knowledge that there is a closed passage and a laboratory outside. However, the information obtained is not helpful to this small group. On the contrary, it brings two fatal harms-1. Josh brought in radioactive dust. According to the regulations, the outside contaminated area should be cleaned to eliminate the radioactive dust, but unfortunately It is impossible for Mickey to do this, which is so watery, that's why everyone started to lose hair later, including the female pig's feet. 2. Because Josh killed two outsiders again, the outsiders who paid for the four people simply welded the basement to death, leaving the people below to fend for themselves.
Now I know how much damage a stupid leader can cause. It is Mickey’s mishandling of the entry of outsiders. This first error led to the ultimate fate of all destruction. The so-called wrong move is the wrong move. In this way, Josh made a mistake later and nailed the final coffin board for everyone.
But even so, this small group could have survived. After all, there is a spare outlet of the toilet, and there is enough food. The leftover food should be used well, which is enough to last for a few months until the outdoor radiation dust basically falls into the atmosphere. The radiation is reduced to the level that humans can be exposed for a few hours in a short time (but there must be breathing filter equipment, this can be made by burning charcoal, it is not difficult), then they can still escape the basement and find a new shelter nearby ( Such as supermarkets with food, etc.).
But in the end, they were buried in the ground forever. It was Mickey, who had no leadership qualifications, and his dictatorship of dominating all food triggered the revolution of others. There was nothing wrong with the revolution. After the dictatorship of Mickey was eliminated, if he could If a system is established for everyone to discuss and vote to make a decision-making that puts the overall situation in mind, this group of people can still survive.
But they chose the stupidest kind of revolution-the system established after the old system was destroyed is not as good as the anarchist revolution of the old system. Originally, after Mickey killed the black people, he was removed from the leadership position. At this time, he should negotiate with Mickey rationally, in exchange for not to hold Mickey accountable for the killing, and people trusted by Mickey promised Mickey the same food and rights as everyone else. , Promises not to persecute Mickey, Mickey is not stupid. On the one hand, the wicked are eager to harm his body. On the other hand, the majority of the population promised to protect Mickey’s basic personal rights. If you don’t hand over the password, everyone will starve to death. And Mickey will be killed first. And if the password is handed over, at least Mickey himself will not die immediately, and it is possible to gain freedom. Besides, Mickey also has a pistol in his possession, which can make a comeback at any time, so Mickey’s choice of reconciliation is not a torture but a negotiation. huge.
Sadly, this idea of political negotiation and negotiation and compromise that originated in the West was never realized in the Westerners' own group in the film. In the end they chose to acquiesce and ignore the two men’s torture of Mickey, and finally enjoyed the food brought about by violence together with peace of mind, but the result of choosing violence and brutal treatment of the original dictator created two more violent people. The dictatorship is completely out of balance. Two strong men join hands to dictate, but the dictator is a wounded man, two women, a gangster, and a tied fingerless person. The four of them acquiesced in violence and pushed them up. The two dictators of the country can't be overthrown at all.
At this time, the demise of this group cannot be changed, not only because of the incompetence of the leader, but also because the leader will not participate in the interaction of the leader at all, and does not know how to participate in the negotiation and not to negotiate.
PS1: As a leader, you have to know how to think of your subordinates. It is difficult to convince people that they can only be overbearing. Just as Mickey does bad things with good intentions, and as a leader, you must not be fools. Just as Mickey just refuses to tell everyone. When I can go out, I just say "I'll tell you when the time comes." Even if you give you a deadline of three months, you won't make trouble if you have a hope.
And as a leader, you should take the lead. Everyone eats the least food, and you can’t eat more than others. Roosevelt sent his sons to the battlefield. All of Roosevelt’s own sons also fought together on the battlefield without privileges. So Roosevelt was able to convince the crowd.
Mickey does lack the ability of a leader.
PS2: Isn't this movie a fable? ——Look at the people in the movie coaxing and overthrowing the old order established by Mickey, but in the end they sent two sadists to rule him, and these two sadists are more difficult to overthrow than rational Mickey, and they will even die. A crazy man who all died together.
The revolution is not a revolution in which a group of Ah Q who does not have lofty ideals makes a fuss. The purpose of Ah Q is only to steal money, food, and women. The final result of the revolution is to send a few crazy irrational people. To rule yourself. In the end, didn’t you find hardships for yourself? ?
I don't like the current ruler, but do you have the ability to rule better for you? Even if you participate in the uproar and overthrow the current dictatorship, can the new one be a better ruling group? ? Can you be sure that you will not go up to a worse and cruel ruler?
When you are dissatisfied with the status quo, dissatisfied with the ruler, and when you say that you can rule better, please make it clear first, are you sure that you can do better after overthrowing the existing system? ?
