There are always people in the world who are different from ordinary people, and they will always do incredible things.
Since he is very human, it is inevitable to be out of line.
In Cold Blood, directed by Richard Brooks, was filmed in 1967 at a time when Americans were panicking. The Vietnam War, drugs, and hippies all mingled together to make everyone addicted and uncertain. Confusion becomes the poison of society, and fragile nerves are broken at the touch of a button. Fortunately, the United States is a Christian country. When there is no market for national essence, religion becomes the only chicken soup for the soul. Even so, there are neglected people who exhibit unusual behaviors that stem from their childhood memories of poverty, wanderlust, and misery.
"Cold Blood" shows two young people, one who has just been paroled and the other who is dissolute. The two met, drove the car, and came to a so-called "hidden treasure" family, which was purely based on hearsay. The originally happy family of four was wiped out by two cold-blooded killers. The killer got no "treasure", nothing but the radio. The two killers began to run away.
Undoubtedly this is an overlooked movie. Adapted from the reportage of writer Chuman Kaiboti, the director adopts a very calm documentary technique, which is delicate and unique, and restores the truth of the two killers from killing the family to fleeing little by little. Tracing the painful childhood memories of criminals, the ins and outs are clear. In the whole process of tracing the origin for more than 2 hours, the criminal took off the armor of brutal beasts and returned to a person who was completely different from ordinary people.
The psychology of this type of person is ever-changing, suspicious, fragile and sensitive, and lacks basic interpersonal trust. It seems that the slightest thing will catch fire. Even an unintentional look or a normal action from others will be regarded as disrespect to him, and will lead to death. The disaster, but the overall can not be separated from the characteristics of "intermittent mania". Occasionally very calm, when emotions come, they will involuntarily become "passion killers", and most likely they are often "copied" by their own emotions, which is hopeless. Any kind of education will be of no avail. It is a social problem, but also a personal genetic problem. Therefore, in reality, no one should be underestimated and should be treated with due respect. This is the best way to reduce the irritability of such people.
Another film, Good Blood, shot in 1979, illustrates exactly this point, directed by John Houston.
A fake blind man, an old slick who cheats money under the guise of propaganda. O'Connor, a young man who had just retired from the military, returned to society with double painful memories of childhood and military camp injuries. In a chaotic state, he started his journey to create a "New Truth Religion" in a frenzy. Claims that God is still the same God, but God does not think that all people are sinful, on the contrary, they are all good people. Because of this kid's hysterical and violent temperament, it's hard to make him fit in, and it's impossible to make him "successful."
The liar, the slick, took this to make money, which made O'Connor furious, thinking that the liar had violated the "sanctity" of his mission, so he killed the liar's "accomplice". In the end, he could only follow in the footsteps of the false blind man's "self-blindness" rumors, and let himself be "real" with a black eye. Being blinded by himself, he had no choice but to spend the rest of his life with an old lady.
Chinese society is facing unprecedented changes. The living conditions of all kinds of people have exacerbated the evolution of the original genes. Good factors will be hidden, and bad factors will gradually appear, and even come to the fore. Various evil deeds created by such people often occur. From a lot of news, I saw a lot of things that shouldn't have happened. It was shocking and helpless, and there was only one sigh. When congenital bad genes and acquired embarrassing predicaments, once a marriage occurs, the great rift of disposition will become more and more difficult to bridge, and then such people may become factors that break out social fission at any time. At least, the whole society cannot ignore or neglect such people. Making them feel real warmth is a social problem that needs to be solved urgently or that human beings will always need to face.
