Born to be human, I'm sorry

After watching this movie, my whole body feels bad. What does this movie tell us? Society is a vertical prison where people exploit people and the lower classes can only eat leftovers? Then what?

This table of food wants to feed 666 people on the 333rd floor. No matter how you think about it, you know it's impossible, even if everyone eats it sparingly. Especially in that extreme situation. I may not be able to eat food next month, so when I have something to eat, I have to eat hard and fight hard. Isn't this normal logic? You asked me to do charity and talk about virtue when I was in precarious time. Do you think it is possible? Then the movie told me that human nature is inherently evil, that the upper class will never take into account the life and death of the lower class? What kind of robber logic is this, just like you fed him Viagra and found ten beauties to seduce him in order to prove that the target is a scumbag, but he cheated on him. It's the problem that he doesn't cheat! Mental or physical or both! "Being in a good position and knowing the etiquette, having enough food and clothing to know the honor and disgrace", "the poor can be alone, and the good will help the world", these principles are difficult to understand for foreigners who lack a sense of history, but the Chinese should not be fooled...

The movie has created an evil rule maker (prison management class) for me, and the evil is building a system that is extremely inhumane; the person serving the rules (the chef) is stupid, seeing the milk jelly being brought up and thinking that there is a root in it. People are willing to eat; a world where people within the rules (people in prison) eat the weak. Also want to metaphor the world will not end well. Sorry, I don't eat this logic.

Because the world is not like this! People will cooperate with each other and develop together! Everyone exists in this community with a shared future for mankind! The resources in this world will not be said to be inexhaustible, but it is guaranteed that everyone has something to eat and clothes to wear. Now the poorest people in the world will not go hungry. The biggest dilemma they face is their weak ability to resist risks (data from the 2019 Nobel Prize-winning book "The Nature of Poverty").

The film also deliberately ignores one point, which is human ingenuity. It doesn’t matter if there are few resources. We can use science and technology to help us increase resources. If the yield of rice is low, we will conduct scientific experiments and cultivate hybrid rice. If oil resources are not abundant, then we will develop new energy. As for what other resources are available at the upper levels but absolutely unreachable by the lower levels, maybe I am a lower level person, but I don't know. But the extreme situation of the jungle in the movie is absolutely impossible for human beings to make it appear, because we have brains! !

Anyway, I feel very desperate after watching this film. If the day comes, I will choose to die. I hope that fire can still be used at that time. Please cut me into pieces, skewer me into fat and thin skewers, grill and sprinkle with salt. However, after the chili noodles are roasted and eaten, even as food, I hope that I have the dignity of food - delicious. But I don't eat the spiritual papa that this movie fed me.

Okay, now I'm going to watch a few episodes of Peppa Pig to wash my mind and eyes.

Mr. Feynman and I share the same opinion, happy?
