The fountain of evil is endless

The first time I saw an Estonian movie, I was shocked and speechless. It is said that the movie "Class" was adapted based on real events, but then I searched the Internet and found no original case. It was a school shooting in Finland, which is somewhat similar to this case. Regardless of whether there is a real background or not, the film itself is still very dynamic and beautiful.
Like every corner of the world, people will look for the weakest link in their own group. Jossep has unfortunately become the target. The evil of human nature is constantly erupting on him. The bullying of the weak seems to show his strength. . jossep is also obedient, and always silently endures the violence his classmates impose on him. But there are always rebels in the group, and Kaspar's conscience discovered that he was on the side of Jossep. But this aroused even greater evil on the other side, the bullying of josep was also escalating, and kaspar was also being bullied. When the good cannot solve the problem, the evil in human nature will also burst out, find an explanation for yourself, and seek justice for yourself. The two of them jointly took guns to wash the campus and shot to death their oppressive classmates. They also swallowed their guns to commit suicide. Quite shocking, right? The film was made calmly, without tricks, and it was very attractive to shoot such a bloody thing.
In fact, the most surprising thing is not the kind of bloody violent reaction to violence, but that the evil is everywhere, flowing endlessly in the dry well of human nature. This kind of evil has nothing to do with size, old and young, it fills people's hearts, and it will gush out as long as there is suitable soil. This makes people think of a sentence: at the beginning of man, nature is evil by nature. The animal nature of human nature makes people full of cruelty; while the social nature of human nature puts a gentle coat on this cruelty. The evil of animals is to find a better way for themselves, to find more food for themselves. And the ferocity of human beings sometimes just makes oneself appear powerful and makes oneself find pleasure in it. The tragedy of jossep also shows that blindly forbearance can only make oneself appear weaker, let others get more happiness from it, and let evil run like a stream. The Jesus-style "people hit your left cheek, and you offer your right cheek again" is not working, but tooth for tooth is the right way. Haha, this film tells people such a truth. Look, everyone who watched this film gave a long sigh of relief in the end. After all, justice can be claimed, regardless of the reason for this claim. Greater evil is achieved.
