I was a primary school student when I watched this movie, and internet censorship was relatively lax at that time. When I saw the kid in the movie who put a black man in his house on the "killing night" and was scolded by netizens from beginning to end, at that time. I don't understand.
Of course, I don't understand it now.
The idea of material selection for this film is very good. It uses violent conflict to liberate "hypocrisy" from the dark night where one can't see one's finger, and make it concrete into a horrific murderer. The choice these people made on "kill night" was to kill, while the children's choice was to "save." The children's temporary kindness is the direct cause of the father's death, but the fundamental cause of the father's death is the "evil" of human nature.
Human nature is most real only when everything loses its limits. The neighbors who are friendly and friendly on weekdays will also be jealous because of jealousy, but the people who talk very much want to kill you...
True humanity may not be seen until the moment when there is no way out and the criminal law is ineffective. This is the deep meaning of this film, because the director knows that we will never have such an absurd "killing night", so all the evils of human nature in the film will be covered by the sun in reality.
We may never see it, but the hypocrisy is still there.
