This is a country completely alienated from our morality. Respect for life is a universally recognized moral presupposition, but not here. People in the kingdom have no concept of "death". Life is a continuous process of reincarnation. The age of 72 is a cycle. When the age of 72 is reached, it will self-destruct. The sacrifice of the two natives is also voluntary and considered sacred. They don't die because they are reborn in the newborn's body, and the cycle never stops. People in the kingdom love empathy, they use their bodies to touch others to feel the same emotions, and when the 72-year-old old man fell off the cliff and groaned in pain, their wailing was neat and conscious. But for outsiders, they have no sympathy at all. The pain, anxiety, anger, and fear of outsiders are like the dying neighs of a crushed insect on the ground. They can't hear or care. Probably because locals and outsiders are treated differently, they regard these people who cannot be integrated into them as sacrifices. After all, once outsiders enter, unless they integrate into them, like the heroine, they have to disappear from the world to maintain the peace and quiet of the country. pure. As for the sacrifice, it should be a willless thing. At the end, the butcher slaughtered the grizzly bear. Facing the huge bloody internal organs that were open, the children sat on the table and watched, listening to the slaughterer's remarks about the slaughter technique. Sacrifices are roughly the same treatment. Their emotions and attitude towards outsiders are really infuriating. They don't know anything about violence, and they may not even know the word at all. For those who violate their religious consciousness, they directly assassinate them in blood. Afterwards, they use lies to deceive unsuspecting outsiders. The complacency at the time of the massacre is in stark contrast. Under the bright sunlight, there are sacred and solemn religious ceremonies, but in every small and dark room, there are slaughter and conspiracy. All human actions have their own consciousness and motivation. This huge ceremony held by people in the kingdom is aimed at a very simple ultimate goal-religion. This hidden power is almost the only reason to support their actions. Religion is sacred and inviolable, and it is so huge that free will has been squeezed to the edge. In this way, doubts about religion are inevitable. What is religion? is not clearly defined. In nature, it should be consistent with Kant's moral law. It is an absolute imperative, self-generated rather than empirical, there is no reason not to respect it, and all right and wrong in the empirical world is based on it. From the point of view of purpose, it is to let individuals or groups find the value and meaning of survival, and also to make their hearts and behaviors have a basis to avoid confusion and ignorance. In this way, religion and moral law seem similar. But the two are far from far different. When you are alone in an empty and dark corridor, and a stranger approaches you, then you have every reason to suspect that the other person is a believer of a known or unknown religion, and there is every reason to suspect that the other person believes in a religion. Ask him to kill anyone he encounters of a certain nature, possibly yourself. No one can be sure of this, and it is a religious fear. There are universal moral values, but no universal religious values, and the relativity of religion leads to questioning it. Is religion holy? Not necessarily. It is only in the eyes of believers that this is true. 2021.7.5 Update: It may not be a matter of religion. The background of the movie is people living in what we call an ordinary world, and this small town is isolated from the world. The "normal" reaction of the "ordinary" world seems to them Not normal, in turn, the truth they espouse is cruel to us, so in the final analysis it should be a matter of paradigm, not religion, which is just a manifestation.
