human, most human

Why am I only watching such a good movie now? From the beginning to the end, I can feel the loneliness and helplessness of the protagonist, the inferiority of human nature, and the distant hope brought by those few people. The physics teacher said to the protagonist that you may be what humans will look like in the future, is it also implying that humans will become kinder, just as the society has told us in various ways since childhood, human beings are kind, and the world is kind.
I'm confused why I give such a high rating, maybe it's because I like to be deceived by others, so that I know that this world is meaningful and that my existence in this world is meaningful, maybe it is to let more people To be deceived, to use one's own goodwill to achieve one's own purposes.
Human nature is inherently evil, but if we want to survive, we need to rely on the power of the same kind, so we must stipulate various rules to survive and reproduce in mutual grabbing and mutual support. Human nature is inherently evil, and human existence has no meaning.
Perhaps existence itself is a meaning.
People are evil and the world is evil. Humans are at their best when they just stand up and start walking on their legs, and never in the future.
People are always deceiving themselves, and humans are deceiving each other, with words, with books, with radio, and with movies.
And I still like this movie, like a self-deception
