what is evil

Written in the front: I have watched a lot of films about good and evil, instinct and restraint, order and chaos recently, and these films have a lot of subjective color to the objective, so I would like to take this opportunity to make a summary of this series of films, which is also about A decluttering of your own cluttered brain. The finishing content starts from the "evil" in the movie.

What is the opposite of the universe? The answer given by people who have entered a black hole is "evil", and the so-called "evil" is shown in the movie through some clip switching. In the director's opinion, "evil" is to combine some literature, The hell in the film and television works is depicted, but "evil" itself is a subjective word, which is what "I" thinks, so it is the opposite of what "I" thinks the universe is evil. After going around a circle, let's take a look at the core question: what is good and what is evil? I believe that most people's definitions are subjective, "I think it's good" and "most people think it's bad", then if we go back to the objective The angle, standing at the height of the universe, is the "evil" shown in the movie? I prefer to use "disorder" to explain, or "entropy" to explain. When the degree of chaos is minimal, the universe is calmer, with no events or regular events; when the degree of chaos increases, the universe is more chaotic and there are more irregular events. In the movie, it is the opposite of the universe, black holes. What if this theory corresponds to the human body? When the entropy is equal to 0, the human body should no longer exist, and the soul (thought) is in a sleeping state; when the entropy approaches infinity, the mind is extremely chaotic, while the body is in a state of deep sleep. fully express ideas. That's the "evil" in the movie. Here I would like to introduce Freud's theory of "id-ego-superego": "id" (completely subconscious) represents desires, which are repressed by consciousness; "ego" (mostly conscious) is responsible for dealing with real world affairs; "superego" (partially conscious) is the conscience or inner moral judgment. Here I personally understand it like this: "I" refers to the basic law of biology, that is, survival, and survival is above all behavior; "self" is what is actually done, and the "self" of most living things is equal to "id" ; When the biological "self" is not equal to the "id", the difference value can be explained by the "superego"; the superego is the existence that can break the basic survival law of the creature, and the superego represents countless behaviors. When it is close to infinity, we can understand that "superego" is equal to "ego", but we still can't define this as "evil", because he only does one of several possible things, and this one From a subjective point of view, it is possible for things to happen whether they are right, evil, or neutral, and there may even be different criteria for different subjective judgments. So I thought of a question: When the ego is equal to the id, what is the entropy of the creature? If I were to give an answer, it should be infinitely close to 0, but not equal to 0.

    This is a very weird and terrifying film, especially when combined with science fiction. I remember watching this film in a small hotel on the banks of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, late at night when jet lag was insomnia. Starting from "2001", the idea that "human science is ultimately useless and will be destroyed" has been reflected in this type of film. For example, on the surface of this black hole, the most cutting-edge science can only be explained by myths.

    The tailgate closed, and it felt like they weren't out of danger. It's too long and I want to fast forward. human scientist no zuo no die

Event Horizon quotes

  • Miller: I'm telling you it was his voice I heard, he was calling to me. A young bosun named Eddie Corrick. We served on the Goliath together. When the O2 tanks ruptured, four of us made it to the lifeboat but Corrick was still on board the Goliath when the fire broke out.

    [to D.J]

    Miller: Have you ever seen fire in zero gravity?

    [D.J shakes his head]

    Miller: It's beautiful. It's like liquid it... slides all over everything. Comes up in waves. And they just kept hitting him, wave after wave. He was screaming for me to save him.

    D.J.: What did you do?

    Miller: I did the only thing I could. I closed the lifeboat hatch, and I left him behind. I swore I'd never lose another man.

    D.J.: I've known you a long time. You never told me that.

    Miller: That's just it D.J, I - I never told *anybody*. But this ship knew about it! It knows my fears, it knows my secrets! Gets inside your head and... it shows you!

  • Miller: Vacate! I want off this ship!

    Dr. Weir: You can't leave. She won't let you.

    Miller: You just get your gear and get back on the Lewis and Clark, Doctor, or you'll find yourself walkin' home.

    Dr. Weir: I am home.
