About human nature, about religion, about resistance

Who would look at such a heavy subject on birthday night... It was a bit shocking, but also a lot of doubts. I took a bath at four in the morning and thought about it a little bit more clearly. Regarding human nature: All are selfish. In the movie, I changed myself to the son of the godfather, and I would leave early, but throughout my life, I would feel that I was cowardly and would owe these lives. Even if I stayed, it would not help. But abandoning, it seems that there are some things that go against the heart and kindness. The dust splashed by the departing wheels has not yet fallen. The tens of thousands have fallen on the slope of blood. Our helplessness cannot comfort our conscience, just like the Titanic escaped. Of the men who chose to commit suicide. Regarding the remaining white godfather, first he has experienced life; secondly, he is a person with a strong religious belief. To stay or leave, his choice is actually whether he chooses to believe in God or choose humanity , He chose his faith, and finally he fell under the gun and saw the footsteps of the kid hiding in the truck, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Maybe he felt that God was by his side at the moment; about the resistance, it was not shown in the film (there was resistance But it must be a minority), why not resist? On the one hand, the slaughtered people are a minority group, in their consciousness they are the marginalized people, they are the lambs seeking survival; the second slaughterers, in their education and consciousness, there is a sense of self-superiority and group hatred. In my heart. One wanted to kill, the other wanted to escape, so their choice of resistance was different, don't you believe it? For example, during the Xinjiang riots, would you take a machete and go out to fight? No, you will hide, you will run away
