Are you in color? | Silent Hill | Everyone looks down at their feet

The movie I watched a few months ago, the plot has been blurred. Impressively, after entering Silent Hill, the characters are divided into two categories: color and black and white.
The colored ones include Laura, her mom, the policewoman, and the priestess. Black and white is a group of people, shouting, scolding, or beating along with the female priest. Why do they scream, scold, beat? Just because the priestess told them to? No, they believed it because of the "demon girl" theory spread by the female priest. They fought for the "justice" in their hearts and died. They are pitiful because they don't see their position clearly and do it for their own benefit. Laura's mother is to find her daughter, the policewoman is to help Laura's mother, and the priestess is to kill Laura. And what about these people? What are you messing with? They were brought in by the priestess just for fear of the future.
It reminds me of politics, it reminds me of the Cultural Revolution. In that crazy and wrong era, how many Red Guards, just like these black and white characters, followed the rebellion and roared. Do they know where they stand? Isn't it just guided by some theories and slogans?
Maybe some people say that my thoughts are too selfish, there is only "small self", no "big self". In fact, the so-called politics is like this. Everyone looks down at their feet. In the end, everything is driven by interests.
