If this society does not change and the problem cannot be solved fundamentally, then one Mr. Verdoux will be executed, and there will be thousands of Mr. Verdoux standing up. What we have to be wary of is not the demons, but the soil where demons can be produced. It can be the greed of the capitalists, the indifference of society, the pursuit of interests, the ruthlessness of turning a face to deny others, it can be the indifference of a society that has worked hard for 30 years but can abandon it like a shoe, or it can let you lose yourself at will The environment of dignity can be the socially accepted norms that you stick to yourself but are deceived, honestly but despised, and so on.
In addition, I think of the teacher said in class this morning that there was a major shift in the 19th century to pay more attention to the changes and problems of the entire social system and system, and seldom pay attention to personal moral quality. I think this is a kind of progress, because the individual is born in society, so weak and so small. However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, ignoring the moral requirements of the individual, and it will inevitably induce a negative tendency to avoid shirking responsibility. It seems that maintaining the golden mean is really important.
Although the rhythm of the whole film is a bit broken, the setting of some of the jokes is slightly deliberate and embarrassing. But when the master gets old, only the truth, goodness and beauty in his heart will last forever. The woman whom Mr. Verdoux once helped turned to help him after her fortune. This is the only kindness in troubled times. Finally, Mr. Verdoux deliberately exposed his identity in front of the police, maybe he was tired. The most philosophical in the eyes of lunatics, the dialectical thinking of "killing one evil and killing ten thousand heroes" may seem a bit outdated today, but in the United States around the 1950s, there was still a great need for discussion.
The story takes place in the United States around the 1930s. The stock market is turbulent, the economy is in depression, and everyone is in danger. Mr. Verdoux is still not immune to his painstaking efforts. What I worry about is whether there will be such a desperate moment in the West today. Perhaps this is a cannibalistic society.
In addition, the last part of Master Zhuo’s film, my trip with Master Zhuo, is over!
