My contradiction comes from three aspects: the contradiction between humanitarianism and closed-doorism. Many countries have produced a large number of refugees due to various reasons. If they are not accepted, it is death. Accepting them will cause trouble. Humanitarianism is normal when it does not hurt too many personal interests. On the contrary, it is difficult to be humane, and it is more self-protection. So the future Britain in the film closes its borders to prevent anyone from entering. We say they are cruel, but we don’t even recognize refugees now, they are worse than them. So this is the first contradiction in me. I think I should help them, but I don't want to help them.
The second comes from the contradiction between cultural diversity and unity. I am not an ultra-conservative, and I am willing to accept new things, but my personal perceptions are different. Such as homosexual culture, I can use modern thinking to get along with it, instead of ancient thinking: the party is the same and the body is eliminated. However, I do not approve of it at all in my heart, nor do I agree with the so-called existence that is reasonable. This is a kind of pan-truth statement. If the existence is reasonable, then there is no right or wrong in this world. It only depends on personal understanding. My contradiction is that I oppose raising a culture, mythology, and narrowing its connotation. For example, many people think that the ID card begins with 310. Those who were born in Shanghai and can speak Shanghainese are Shanghainese, and their culture is Shanghai style. It is also opposed to treating all niche, extreme, narrow, and counter-mainstream cultures as correct and reasonable. It seems that some people feel that they have been discriminated against and oppose everything in Shanghai, and feel that their extreme and narrow ideas are correct. Going back to the movie, I think that British civilization is definitely not the civilization of white British people, but you, a voodoo culture from the Caribbean, also say that you are British civilization. I don't recognize it.
The third comes from the contradiction between personal religion and secular society. Christianity is an exclusive religion, and the doctrine of Christianity does not include peaceful coexistence with other religions. Because believers who truly believe in Christianity regard everything that contradicts the Bible as wrong. So Buddhists, Muslims and atheism. Homosexuality, abortionists, and the worship of ghosts and gods all need to accept the gospel. I am convinced of this, and I look at the world according to this standard: it sucks! But the secular world is heading for an opposite path. You can't break away from the world, let alone violate your beliefs, so it's a contradiction.
In this film, facing the impending demise of mankind, I have no trace of sorrow. Because Christians long for Judgment Day, the world is just a place for foreigners. So at this point, I am not so compassionate. But I can also feel the suffering of human beings because of selfish desires, and I am very sympathetic. Both citizens and illegal immigrants in the movie are selfish and abandon the path of God, so no one represents justice, and it is not a pity for anyone to die. In short, by simply projecting emotions into the film, you can feel the emotions in the film critics, but after returning to your own beliefs and cognitions, you completely disagree with the issues discussed in this film. It is true that when human beings think, God laughs.
