Human nature is not sin

The tone of the whole film is very gloomy. It tells the story of how a perverted murderer who holds the banner of moral approval "walks for the sky". The seven deadly sins and the horrible way "sinners" were tried, the dim and hopeless streets of New York, the rainy weather, the old police officer’s indifference to human feelings, and the tragic fatalistic ending, all of which make people start to look at themselves and this. Society, human beings cannot escape the fate of these seven deadly sins. From this point of view, the film is indeed impressive, but the idea of ​​the theme of the film seems to me to be pale and weak.
"Gluttony", "greed", "laziness", "jealous", "pride", [lust], and "anger" are actually basic human natures. To say that these are all sins, they are actually denying human nature itself. It's a fallacy of "born guilty". The "sinners" in the film seem to be guilty and deserve to be tried, but these are the extreme prejudices that perverted his own wishful thinking. Fatty guilty of gluttony to death? Is the lawyer's unscrupulous just his personal greed? How are drug dealers lazy? Is it pride for women to love beauty? Prostitutes really indulge their lust to do these human flesh trades? Abnormal. Why do you suddenly become jealous of his boy's life? What kind of shit is to deliberately arouse the anger of others to complete your "perfect" trial? In my opinion, these crimes are too artificial. How can a person's crime be simply labeled as a word, and how can he bear it alone?
Human nature is not sin, but the extreme human nature is the source of sin. Most of our ordinary people are really far away from that extreme humanity, and there is no need to rise to the height of approving themselves. Conversely, sometimes we should try to understand this nature. Pitt killed the pervert in grief and indignation. I think it’s human nature. When faced with this situation, many people tend to lose their minds and vent their anger. On the contrary, the people who control themselves not to shoot are really not ordinary people, even a little bit. Cold-blooded. If I were a judge, I would not sentence him or treat him lightly, because if a neurosis unconsciously kills innocents, he can escape the punishment of the law. Why does a person who loves life extremely sad and insane kills a demon in an instant? Should be punished.
The old police officer's disappointment in human indifference may be a helpless reality, but it is not hopeless to change. After all, people's hearts are good, and people appear indifferent only because of their protection and lack of trust. The flopping old woman in Nanjing made Xiang's minds on those who wanted to help the elderly; nine out of ten beggars on the street cheated, and people didn’t have the patience to identify those who really needed help; donations and donations flowed into the hands of corrupt officials, and people didn’t want to Waste my sympathy again. The indifference of human nature does not happen in a day, nor is it incurable. When some things are done, the good side of human nature will naturally develop.

    The whole movie is immersed in low and grand music, matched with the gloomy environment, hot conversation and thrilling case, as well as the continuous rain, as if even the sky is squeezing the world, suppressing it until the end is miserable. And bloom brilliantly. Our world is full of too much evil and helplessness. It is too extreme. The fact is that although it is not as good as the ideal, it is always worth fighting for.
