Chaos Death

The last 20 minutes were first-rate, the male protagonist made a choice, but the question was left to the audience - this is not only the entanglement of law and morality, but also extends to a more primitive motif - that is, people and What does the relationship between people really mean? To what extent should it be achieved? Are we really entitled to choose the fate of others? Perhaps the result is emptiness and isolation after all.

This reminds me of the story of Zhuangzi:

The emperor of the South Sea is Su, the emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the emperor of the Central is Hunzhuan. Suddenly and suddenly meet each other in the land of Chaos, and Chaos treats them very well. Su and Hushou sought to repay the virtue of Hunzhuan, saying: "Everyone has seven apertures to see, hear, eat, and breathe. This is unique. Try to dig it out."

——The Pre-Qin, Zhuang Zhou, "Zhuangzi: Emperor Ying"
