The moral high ground (spoiler)

This review discusses moral issues. After watching the movie, I turn around and think about it. I feel very sick? Very uncomfortable (but the overall viewing experience is very immersive, forgetting the passage of time)

First, there are two premises

1. The Western world believes that human nature is inherently evil because of religion

2. The mainstream in the eastern world believes that human nature is inherently good, which comes from Mencius.

Both are different to solve the same problem: the pre-moral problem (what does it do for me to be a good person? Why are good people usually not rewarded? Pre-morality is to solve this moral paradox)

Then came a line from the veteran that made me feel very uncomfortable "She killed my baby by mistake, so I asked her to give me a baby to make up for it" (take a deep breath?)

I will analyze this thinking

--------------------

Firstly

1.3 Thieves stealing things is right, they constitute a crime and will overturn sooner or later

2. Let's assume that the veteran served in Iraq when he was young, was injured and blinded, and his family is still very happy after returning home. But his relatives said goodbye slowly over time. A few months ago, he had another and only child, but was mistakenly killed by the female 2

Here, we have seen "First Blood". A veteran who has experienced the vicissitudes of war may be traumatized. As time goes by, his relatives slowly become the only one left.

Then we need to discuss, the value of the only relative, please think about yourself and others, the status of family children in the minds of men: when a man in his twilight faces the truth of the death of the only relative, ask: the value of his existence Did it die with it?

It's hard for us to imagine the terrible, sad, helpless, helpless feelings he would have felt when he learned of the death of his only relative, and as a veteran, as a veteran of the nation of America, this time Accident - not judged by justice, most likely the government is bribed, corrupted by money, so: when justice is corroded, when the most important pillar in the world collapses, as a man, everything he has may be lost! He may be about to face the ultimate test of humanity. I think the power of this emotion that germinates is enough to destroy everything. At this point, I have affirmed the necessity of revenge for the veteran, and he may also ask himself "to be or not to be" I am also angry with him, then It is a powerless rage, an anger that tests the soul, tests the soul, tests God, and tests humanity.

-------------

But I think the worst part (because of the fact that the veteran's image of justice has collapsed) is that the veteran did not choose life for life as a means of revenge; as an alternative to law and justice for executions, although this method of life is equally desecrated justice and law

But he chose a way that I couldn't accept. He lost his only relative, his existence was shaken, his spiritual world collapsed, and there was no more light in his eyes---he: fallen ! Mencius once said: The difference between humans and animals is very small. He gave up the greatness of a father, the mind of a husband, he gave up morality, he gave up the nobility of being a human being, and annihilated humanity!

I ask: Is there any difference between his existence and the beast?

i don't like this movie

5 stars for the viewing experience, but digging into the morals makes me sick

(This film review has a strong subjective judgment, please treat it dialectically, thank you)
