I always do not worry with the greatest malice

Mr. Lu Xun seems to have used such a sentence: "I have always used the utmost malice to speculate on Chinese people."
In fact, Mr. Lu Xun is an irony, but it also reflects the helplessness of the "evil" of Chinese people acting under the shackles of tradition in reality. . However, this is not a phenomenon in China, or Chinese talents in the 1930s and 1940s. "Do not worry about speculating and treating others with the greatest malice" may be the most obvious in China's current society, but it is also deeply etched in the nature of many people.
A lie subverted the entire life of a man. The dull and slightly casual life atmosphere throughout the film highlights the tension, depression, and destructive power of people's perceptions and attitudes that undergo a 180-degree change. People's reaction to Clara's joking was outrageous. The psychological counselor clearly intends to induce the girl to speak. The director completely ignores Lucas’s reaction and attitude, and insists on thinking that Lucas has done that with the girl, and all parents without exception doubt that their children are also affected. Violated. Lucas' best friend, Theo, believed that he was the most distressed victim.
Everyone feels that they are in control of morality and truth; everyone feels that they are the victims. Therefore, when the rumors flew, few people really used their reason to think. Even those who have nothing to do with his so-called "ugly behavior", such as supermarket managers and butchers, have joined the ranks of the crusaders.
Lucas and Theo were reconciled in front of Jesus. But what about the others?
At the ceremony where Macus received the hunting license, Lucas and some old friends shook hands with each other. However, under the smiley face was obviously indifference and greater hostility. The expression of Theo's son is the same.
At the end, Lucas, who was almost shot in the cold, turned his head and saw the murderer aiming at him with a shotgun under the backlit sun.
He can be anyone. This is also the most painful and shocking place for us.
At first, when Lucas was hunting in the forest, a reindeer fell down at his voice, so weak; among the seemingly harmonious villagers, the Lucas family became the target of everyone's hunting because of a fuse. In the face of scandals and guilt, people are as powerless as reindeer. However, the director was kind. The male protagonist treats the behavior of resistance by not resisting, insisting on his own qualities of being a human being, and possessing the nobleness of Jesus-this may be why the most important reconciliation scene is arranged on Christmas Eve.
Lucas's sad look back may be the best comment on this sentence:
Although people always treat others with the greatest malice, we still have to be kind. Because only good-hearted people can support each other and go on.
In the face of this society, malicious people hunt their targets wantonly and engage in hot and cold violent behaviors. Even if the kind people resist and desperately repair and maintain, it will be a drop in the bucket and it will not help. This is the director's greatest irony and helplessness.

    The ending! Bright guns are easy to hide and hard to defend. In this society, children are not responsible for their lies. Of course, it is adults who turn lies into violence. The male protagonist is obviously Tow Wai Leung from Denmark, and the other males and females in the town are either bald or fat. .

    ❶This film is extremely desperate and depressing (but not dull), and it is prone to impulses such as lifting a shotgun for the male protagonist and starting to kill the clerk of the kindergarten principal and supermarket. Please watch it carefully. ❷We may all become those who abandon Lucas. Just as we believe that a person is mentally ill, all his behavior is mentally ill. ❸Bear children’s malice is more terrible than any malice, because they don’t know the consequences.
