About Good and Evil

It's a movie that transcends your average survival thriller. He elevates the central idea to an angle that explores whether there is any hope for human beings. Although this kind of effort seems very abrupt, it is still worth thinking about after combining with the reality of the current world.
The story revolves around a girl who is hidden in a remote improvised dungeon by 2 kidnappers just for money. It was later learned that the girl's father was a murderous devil who had committed genocide.
Here comes the first moral question: Is the family of a murderous demon worth saving?
A group of inconsequential climbers found the girl and took their lives to protect her. The film gives enough illusion to make the audience think this is a cliché B-movie about a perverted killer. In the end, it was revealed that there were two simple people who just regarded murder and kidnapping as a business. They have no excessive killing, no excess emotional catharsis, no desire for sex or flesh. They are driven by money to implement clean and simple removals.
Here is a second question: Is a person who kills others for his own desires (like a girl's father) a great harm, or a killing machine without personal grudges and emotional catharsis, fueled by money?
After that, according to the convention of survival movies, several innocent people died with the simple emotion of saving the girl and saving themselves. After they know that these people are here for money, it is very logical for ordinary people. If someone kills you for reasons you don't know, you will be confused and scared. But if someone wants to kill you for money, you take it calmly, understand the killer and start responding quickly.
At the end of the film, the kidnapper is caught by the girl's father, the girl is safe with the help of the woman, the hired person gets the money, and everyone is satisfied. The woman was lying in the ambulance and heard a foreign language from the girl, and he asked the paramedics what she said. The paramedic said, I think thank you. The woman burst into tears. What is she crying for?
Combine this movie with this world. I think she's crying for a good reason - the fright, the death of a friend, the sinister world, she finally survived, but I think her crying is different from what the audience sees because she doesn't know what happened What's behind it, and the audience knows it.
