Where is justice to be found? Where does the hatred go?

A few years ago, I watched this movie for the first time, and after the first story, I couldn't stand it anymore: what the hell is this about?

It’s raining today, so I just relive it slowly by myself: a movie doesn’t have to tell a complete story, it can also be a splicing of multiple absurd stories to see humanity through absurdity. For example, this movie tells us several ways of revenge:

1. Call all the people who have hurt you on the same plane, then the plane crashed, and everyone was finished; 2. The enemy came to his own small restaurant to eat, and put rat poison in the food, even if the rat poison expired, the poison could not be returned. You can make a few knives in the back; 3. Businessmen and locals fight each other on the wild road, causing a car accident and then igniting the fuel tank to destroy the body;

4. The engineer took advantage of his professional expertise to blow up the parking lot of illegal vehicles that deliberately towed the car and collected fines to vent public anger. Even if he was jailed, he was regarded as a hero; 5. The rich man's son drove a BMW and killed a pregnant woman. The money buys the poor housekeeper as a scapegoat, but the greedy lawyer lion speaks loudly, and finally the rich man says let his son go to jail, this is the best education for him, but unfortunately the poor housekeeper was beaten to death by the pregnant husband when he was arrested; 6 . The bride found out at the wedding that her husband had invited a cheating lover. She wanted to jump off the rooftop and hooked up with the chef who comforted her. The husband caught the adulterer on the spot, and the bride continued to make a scene. She threw her lover out of the glass window by dancing. , the wedding turned into a farce, I thought it was a one-shot and two-part breakup, but it turned out to be a happy ending... The first story is too coincidental, the second is very ordinary, and the tragedy of the third story could have been avoided: in the wilderness If the driver doesn't let you overtake, then you won't overtake. Why bother to argue and insult the other person, but your tire blew out before you go far, giving the other side a chance for revenge; In that tone, he had to go back and hit someone to death, and both ended up dying together.

The fourth story, no one died, is slightly warm. The engineer parked illegally, got stuck in traffic again, missed his daughter's birthday, and his wife filed for divorce; because of disrupting public order at the DMV and damaging the government's image, he lost his job. When life was gloomy, the engineer blew up the parking lot and went to prison, but got the support of many people, and finally his wife and daughter came back.

The fifth story, one corpse and two lives. Many protested at the door of the rich man's house, demanding justice. Where is justice when lawyers and prosecutors collude to scapegoat innocents? One million or two million, can all problems be solved with money?

The sixth story, in love and marriage, can only be a matter of both men and women, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, no one can mix it.

What impressed me the most was the fourth story: divorce, unemployment, no way to find a job, social injustice, when life falls into darkness, how should the hatred in my heart be vented? Fortunately, the engineer did not completely lose his mind and blew up the parking lot without causing any casualties.

Everyone suffers from unequal treatment at some point and falls victim to some kind of unfair social rule. Life is wonderful. This movie tells the stories of others in a weird and distorted way, and it mirrors itself as if it were oneself, making people ask themselves: Where to find justice? Where does the hatred go?
