What do you want to do, you won’t know until the last second

I was going to eat noodles and watch it like watching "Robot Story". But when I saw the topic of "human nature", I dared not eat noodles in the movie. It seems that today's society is very careful about the distinction between humanity and inhumanity. I write a blog and say that I like to pinch the face of a child and I will be human. I have to put myself at risk. I watched this movie seriously, even though it was a cartoon.
First of all, the film questioned human nature: what is human nature? In human history, we are accustomed to summarizing human nature as the characteristics that distinguish humans from animals. The dictionary explains: human nature is the essence or nature of humans. Human nature plays a decisive role in emotion and reason. Human nature is the logical starting point of the theory of international relations and has always been widely concerned.
In Simone Weil's "In Anticipation", it was mentioned that man is supernatural, he is different from other animals and plants, we know great love, not the animal world that eats the weak and the strong. The human world has qualities such as tolerance and humility, which other animals do not have.
Is human love limited to earth creatures? How to choose when it comes to self-interest? For the human world, the continuation of race is also the historical mission of mankind. The continuation of mankind and the continuation of the race on Tira are in contradiction. Of course, we are at a loss. People are living there well, so we go to grab the site.
The key is here. Human beings have said that we are forced to die. If we don’t hurry to find a place, where does humanity come from when we are all dead? The people on Tira Star also come as soon as they say they come. They didn’t say not to let you live. Why are you fighting?
Okay, the question can be viewed in reverse. I believe everyone has seen "The Ninth District", right? In the ninth zone, we become humans on Tiras, and aliens become humans. They are staying peacefully. What is the result?
The people are kind and call not to bully the aliens, but the place is so small. When these aliens come out and do not understand the rules, they will destroy the peace and production of the people on the earth, and there will always be people who are unhappy. If this continues, war will surely break out.
The filming of "Thai" was very moving. At the last moment, the director let the plot obey the emotions of the audience, and the pilot resolutely crashed into the command post.
We all want to be kind, I mean, hope.
So I was moved to tears.
But more likely, we just watched the movie.
This is what I am ashamed of. I am not ashamed of humanity, I am ashamed of myself.
I hope to be as brave as a pilot. I hope that I will ultimately obey my heart rather than historical responsibility. I hope. Only at the last moment, I will choose.
Don't talk about me, talk about movies.
Returning to the issue of human nature, perhaps the final direction of the plot shows that human beings have a conscience. This conscience is based on compromise. Mara flew with the brother of the pilot who died at last, representing the end of hatred and rejection. Although it is only temporary.
This may allow us to re-recognize ourselves-human beings. You don't have to force yourself to know yourself concealedly. What kind of race are we? Objective and rational.
After all, history is stained, and our kindness is not pure. If we are weak, we can say that we are good, but what if we are strong? This is another choice.
If all of us raise our hands and agree to live in peace, then the terms racial discrimination, product dumping, colonization and colonization will not be invented.
But what makes me happy is that people still yearn for great love. Love nature, love the same kind, love everything.
When the movie finally appeared in the statue of the pilot being built, I was so moved that tears fell into my face. But halfway through crying, I suddenly shivered: If the result of the war was not like this, then there might be such a figure sculpture, but it was not him.
