1. In many cases, the evaluation of a person's behavior is determined by the consequences of the behavior, not the behavior itself.

If there is no such a memorial ceremony that has been sad for most of the time; if there is no camera set up by the reporters during the ceremony; if there is no news; if Ben died silently in this way, only our sadness and regret will be left, and The angry sorrows of Ben's parents; if that's all, then who should judge the stupidity of the ignorant. During those cheers, did they ever realize the despicability of their behavior, or for a long time after that, did they realize their despicability at that time? I don’t know, only that they were in the memorial ceremony. Those between the images are fidgeting. But at least Bogart and Deschmei wouldn’t realize this, otherwise how could they pry Ben’s mouth open and put the ecstasy in it, and Deschmei also spit out Ben’s saliva, which was actually in his mouth. of.

I have to admit that in many cases, the evaluation of a person’s behavior is determined by the consequences of the behavior, not the behavior itself. Our accusations against Bogart and Deschmeier are due to their deep behavior. It hurt Ben so deeply that Ben was almost helpless and almost left because of it. If this is also a joke to Ben, and because of this, I have a SHOWTIME to show off his young body. There is no humiliation and no anger among boys and girls, then what is the ending, or just forget it. , Became an insignificant episode in youth.

The behavior itself has its certainty, but the meaning it produces has diversity and unlimited extensibility to the future.

2. Morality exists in a wider group of people.

Between the boys and girls who surround Ben with his pants removed, between the mobile phones they hold high and the DV, there is no way to talk about morality. Morality exists in a wider group of people, in the entire social justice, history and culture. The heritage room. The Japanese in 1940 would not feel guilty for the killing contest against the Chinese, and the Germans would not be sad for sending Jews into the incinerator. Their morality existed among their groups, and among the wider population, these It's all outrageous. For Ben, what really saddens us is why it is necessary for the whole society to form a view of those boys and girls before they can realize their own despicableness and unbearableness. In this sense, the so-called morality is also selfish, but it is The product of self-emotion.

3. Self-salvation.

At the end of the film, when the camera was opened, Ben whispered to the air, "When people see a horse, they want to ride a horse, but can you tell me which horse wants to be ridden? If a horse has the right When choosing...", we suddenly realized that the lovely Scarlett was not by Ben's side; it turned out that the creative death did not come from that beautiful head. It turned out to be...that's the way it was, at that moment, in that shot. At the moment when the track stretches back, the film has improved in quality both in plot and in thought. We guess who Scarlett is, whether it is Ben himself, or there is someone else, it is difficult for us to make accurate judgments from the film. One possibility is that Scarlett did exist and came to Ben’s city, but when Ben picked her up from the station, followed her on the train, and got off again, Scarlett left on the train, and Ben Became the new Scarlett; another possibility is that Scarlett is actually Ben’s fantasy at all. This fantasy includes the MMS in the mobile phone, as well as the insult to Ben when Bogart and Deschmei look at the MMS. It’s between the blur and these two possibilities that really make us applauded, without letting us notice it. On the other hand, if Scarlett intervenes, it seems a little hypocritical, and a illusion that appears so quietly is full of new ideas, enriching the plot, and more, we know that when facing the hesitation and growth of personal emotions, Only oneself can save oneself.
