banal evil

Goebbels, who had made a somewhat unusual contribution to the film industry, once lamented so proudly about his creative team that they could make the German people "obey a law they didn't even know, but could recite in their dreams." "Riefenstahl, who is famous for filming "Triumph of the Will" and other films, is a leader in the team organized by Goebbels. Many years later, in her old age, she still insisted that she only participated in the film creation of the Nazi government as a film director, and that her emphasis on artistic aesthetics just coincided with the spiritual aesthetics of fascism at the time. It seems that the cage of the critics has not worn down the will of the old lady. The 101-year-old old lady "refused to regret" most of her life has successfully survived a wartime compliment, and mocked her after the war for fun. , except for reviews, a mediocre artist who has never had a life-long film or book.

The man who calls himself a policeman in the film is like Goebbels, who is playing a game of chess in order to realize his own political plan or some inexplicable plan. And this strange call is absurd but not unfamiliar to the employees in the store. The manager and employees seem to need a new event to ease the tension in the store at this time, whether it is good or bad, good or evil, It seems that when it happens, it can absorb all the current problems and get rid of all the embarrassment that may occur from unemployment, superior tracking, customer complaints and so on. Betty, the victim, had the same idea at first.
Thus, a tragedy led by "a people fascinated by the allure of the unusual" (Riefenstahl) happened, and what is even more tragic is that the perpetrator who made this mysterious call never appeared in the in the plane dimension of this event. The two parties facing each other face to face are basically the same kind of person. After the incident, most of the survivors claimed that they did not understand what happened, let alone why it happened; a small group of victims indulged in sentimentality about the incident, but still ignorantly but firmly believed that it happened. Even if it happens, it can't happen to me, and what I experience is an "illusion of immediacy".

If the banal evil blooms, it will be like a dandelion. The fear is that if the flower does not bloom at the same time, its seeds will float on the bodies and hearts of many people around. Blindness is the norm, followed by hallucinations of memory dysregulation. Unless this flower blooms on ourselves, we will not realize that what everyone carries in small events, seemingly unimportant, may be the courage and hope of others to live.
