So there will be people who use various group labels to force or trick people to give up independent value judgments and become unconscious individuals in group actions. The film continues Amartya Sen's thinking in "Identity and Violence" in a sci-fi way.
In this allegorical science fiction movie, greed is packaged as a reason for the continuation of the race. Put a racial label on people, let them make a simple two-choice, press red to live on their own, otherwise they die. The fundamental judgment of blinding human nature, forgetting that the opponent also has parents and children, and forgetting that they also have love and friendship. When the people around them have been instigated by the packaged greed, they have lost the most fundamental judgment of human nature in unison. People are so fragile, and they are essentially blind from the crowd, but at that time they have become a rational choice.
The person who has the courage to stand up and oppose or even resist is the true hero. The reality is really not as pleasant and enmity as a movie. The statue of Zun will only be handled alone in the Youth Park in Shenyang in reality, with the words "Zhang Zhixin" written below. It will not stand upright like in the movie, for the story to be extolled by the world, and it will not even have more room for expression than those who initiated the perpetrators.
Faced with the helplessness in reality, going to an illusory space, find a trace of surviving comfort in humanity, or looking for the same kind of surviving humanity, so that those humans who insist on basic value judgments can find companions and no longer be alone. Perhaps this is the reason. The merits of such movies unintentionally.
