A person has never been in a minority, a disadvantaged group in his entire life, is it pitiful or terrible? These people will not be able to understand the suffocating powerlessness and the hard-to-struggle self-abandonment. They will always take the easy advantage of life to express their opinions on the event. In their eyes, resistance should be decent and elegant, and questioning should be rational and wise. Otherwise, angry women will be called shrews, selfish LGBTs will call them heretics, and ferocious blacks will call them barbaric races. However, how can a truly disadvantaged person resist gracefully? They are not holding the gun in their hands. Of course the real power can be high, and they can complete their slaughter by pulling the trigger. Of course, the barefoot can only struggle fiercely, with a mixture of tears and blood.
Why should the feelings after hypnosis be clearly portrayed in the movie? Because that’s the feeling of being a disadvantaged group in the big environment: you can feel, you can think, you can see and hear, but you can’t act, you are trapped in "The Sunken Place" and cannot struggle. Everyone treats you. Said they are all predators. I believe that people who can empathize with the protagonist will feel suffocation and fear together, and that is what a disadvantaged group will feel in certain situations. However, placing it in the sunken place only requires a powerful person to "tap the teacup". This teacup may be "We do not recruit girls", "Homosexuality is a mental illness", or "Humble Jews should be slaughtered." ", now it may be "your health code is not green".
What we actually tacitly say is that the ending of the movie will never hold true in reality. It is impossible for the protagonist to escape hypnosis and complete the anti-kill. It will be a white policeman who will get off the police car. When it comes to your throat, you should reflect on how serious racial discrimination is at that moment. We all acquiesce in the attitude and behavior of white police officers. Even if the protagonist gets in his brother’s car and leaves, he will definitely be punished. It's just that if the movie ends with a hopeless ending, it will be too heavy and suffocating. And this kind of film-style resistance is even ridiculed by some film critics as "black coquetry orgy". But we are well aware that reality is harder to resist and struggle, more desperate than movies.
From a certain point of view, this ending of the film draws on the study of Hollywood movies from cinematics, which is to dispel the anger of black people against racism, give the angry people an emotional outlet, and let the people in the film do what they want to do. , The anger was resolved, the butcher knife was put down, or to maintain stability, or to serve the power class. But I am more inclined that the editor really wants to speak up for the aphasia. If everyone who can speak up is an expression of the power class and the elite, there will be no empathy, justice and hope in this world. This view, thinking that we are at the highest level, puts ourselves in the position of bystanders in the world, but we are just ordinary people in society, we need hope, warmth, and understanding.
Some people may have a smooth life and will always be on the side of the majority. When the train comes, under the usual rules, it is definitely not them who are sacrificed. In the past, under the education of "collectivism" and "the minority obey the majority", I did not hesitate to choose to let the train crash into the minority, and believed that those who could not make a choice were cowardly hypocritical. Now I just feel how naive and cruel my thoughts were at the time. Life is not measured by quantity, every life deserves to be respected. Only with such thoughts in mind will we commit ourselves to stopping the train, rather than measuring the number of lives and social value. No group should be ignored because it can't speak up, and no life should be trampled on because of its insignificance. Those who choose the majority have put themselves in the perspective of social managers, but forget that our chances of becoming a minority are much greater than those of social managers.
Years of oppression, neglect and even enslavement of a group have formed a history of group grief. When anyone realizes that he belongs to this group, he will bear this history and the grief that it is difficult to find a way out. The bending of the back caused by this kind of pain is regarded as "inferiority" by others, and the struggle caused by this pain is regarded as "arrogance." In his eyes, this anger manifests itself as arrogance, stemming from low self-esteem). What needs to be clarified is that "inferiority" or "arrogance" is the traumatic result of sorrowful history, not a mentality formed by excessive attention to history. Onlookers only see the results of a group of people going crazy, but never think about (or perhaps deliberately ignore) the cause of the abnormality. Again with elitist comments: How can people who are not rational and intelligent compete with me for social power? Crazy people are not worthy of making me respect. Respect is for your own efforts to win.
Every one of us in the past has formed who we are now, and every piece of history in the past has shaped the community of today. History is not only history, but history is ourselves. So what kind of attention is called excessive attention to history? As long as you don't completely indulge in the past, and you don't move forward, no kind of attention can be called "excessive". At the same time, the resistance and resistance of the disadvantaged groups are also far away from "excessive". The reality solidified by history makes it difficult to be moved. The real change requires tens of thousands of days and nights. just. So what feminist rights are too radical, homosexual hype will lead to imitation, and winning prizes about racism must be politically correct. These words are funny.
Please empathize, please be sensitive, please understand, please speak up for the weak and help the few people in front of you, that is, you are helping yourself who may become a minority. Perhaps your light will turn into a flash in a movie, awakening the courage and strength of struggling. If you really can't empathize, I also hope that you can understand your cruelty, put away your shining pride, and don't use it to stab others.
