The good of the individual, the evil of the group

individual kindness and group malice

I don't quite understand why so many long and short commentary official account articles are one match and one mourning, and the film is described as a satanic book that exposes the evil in the world. The people who persisted for two and a half hours were all people with strong psychological qualities who really loved movies?

In fact, each section of the film is progressive as we tell a truth. As an individual, people are kind by nature, but a group composed of people must be sinful.

In the fight for small animals, the protector is Joska himself, and the perpetrators are a group of children.

It was his grandmother who gave Joska affection, and it was a group of villagers who made him experience violence for the first time.

The witch doctor who bought Joska not only affected his life, but also prevented him from getting close to the plague, and even saved his life in his own way, and it was a flock of crows who almost killed him for the first time.

Starting from the mill owner, new concepts of individuals and groups were introduced. Although the boss said that Joska would bring bad luck, he still acquiesced in taking him in. This is his most personal kindness, but as an unequal class society Husbands and bosses in this group, the tyranny unique to this group is outrageous.

The bird catcher hits the title "Smeared Birds", implying by the way that sex is good between two individuals, but sinful in a group

Joska's kindness towards horses brought in the villagers and the miscellaneous army for his sinister intentions, but in the end he was rescued by a kind individual in a "criminal group", but he still witnessed the period when the railway massacre unfolded The greatest mass sin.

At this time, Joska learned to take the initiative to survive by begging for mercy, and was also saved by a kind priest. Someone asked if the pedophile was also a person? Why is he evil? The video here gives a clever answer,

That is, groups and individuals cannot be simply distinguished on the surface. A pedophile looks like a person, but he represents the group of pedophiles. He is an individual on the surface, but his essence has been lost in the label of a perverted group.

But is there some kind of group label that can represent goodwill? It's a pity that the film gave a sarcastic answer of "no"

In Christendom, priests should be the most holy group. Was the priest who saved Joska in the first place because he was a priest but a good man? Soon, the newly appointed priest slapped the group of "priests" with abandonment and insults to Joska.

So the film draws an iron conclusion here - goodwill must come from individuals, malice must come from groups, and no group is qualified to guarantee that all its members have goodwill.

The second half of the film focuses on the growth of the man represented by Joska. He was submissive in front of him. After completing the sexual rite of passage, he really began to be possessed by evil and integrated into the groups of "people" and "men". ,

Not only did he learn to be jealous, but he began to mutilate living beings, and even took the initiative to use violence to do evil in order to achieve his own goals (robbing innocent witch doctors).

At this time, the late protagonist of the war began to take over the stage, but what is surprising is that the war did not let Joska's evil continue to ferment. Use "evil" to do an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

The bullying of the strong in the orphanage made Joska completely disappointed with the groups. Even though these groups were weak, they still possessed the original "evil".

The final recognition of relatives personally thought it was a bit redundant. Joska, who had already decided to become a loner, still surrendered to his family and found himself. This bridge was too grand, and I don't know if it was deliberate.

Finally, someone who has read a Polish author's novel, listened to Polish music, or watched a Polish movie will ask, "What happened to this country? What unimaginable suffering has this nation experienced!"

Enthusiastic people, if I tell you that what the Poles have experienced, as early as a few centuries ago, during the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the residents south of the Great Wall and north of the Yangtze River, you will remain calm. Is it compassionate?

Good always belongs to the individual, evil always belongs to the mob.

In this day and age, many people don't even watch a movie. But there are other options in life - not necessarily movies, but one has to be able to fantasize. If we don't "watch movies" in any way, our minds will rot.

    No one dares to imagine such a childhood, fleeing like a lost dog. It is a real desperate situation to survive. The narrative in each chapter is the cruelty and cruelty of human nature. We put all the blame on the war, but the individuals in the war Can you do whatever you want? Group beatings seen as plague gods, children thrown into cesspools, lynchings by witches, eyewitnesses gouging out flirters with jealous husbands, women being whipped and beaten, women who abused, sexual abuse of children without the protection of priests, addicted The wicked woman is like a madman, and the ugly piles are like bones, like the rat in the manhole, and the desolate land is covered with wounds and pus stabbed by war. Peace, when peace came one day, he touched the wooden horse toy of the small vendor, but was slapped a few times and called him a "Jewish dog". He learned to fight back with fire. The overthrow of his childhood was so complete that even his father apologized softly. It was also too late, and his soul had already been burned to death, like the burnt chick. No one can erase the stains in human nature, they are just sealed somewhere and move by chance.

    The meaning of such a heavy film itself is covered up by gimmicks, which is really annoying.
