Human nature is evil

For small language movies (except Korean), I have never been so fond of watching them. Because I think that if you don’t understand a language, then you can’t understand his emotions, and the content of the movie is not very clear. Therefore, in the past, watching movies in small languages ​​would be entangled with the accuracy of subtitle translation, and sometimes I felt that the subtitles were inaccurate, and it was difficult to be interested in watching it. But when the movie ended in one breath, I had forgotten whether his subtitles were accurate.
At the beginning, I still struggled with why Klara lied, and even hated her. When the protagonist's son spit on Klara, I still felt very happy. But when the film ended, Klara was no longer so hateful, leaving deep questions and deep helplessness in her heart.
What caused this tragedy? Is it klara's lie? Or is it the distrust of their parents? Or is the male protagonist himself cowardly and incompetent without a defense? Or are people around blindly moving and ignorant?
I can only think of one word, human nature is evil, whether it is the lying klara or the harm of passers-by to the male protagonist, it can all explain this point. Children are synonymous with innocence, but children also know revenge, and they can lie. This is not what they learned from the day after tomorrow, but is the reaction of human instinct, just the so-called human nature! When Klara's behavior was tactfully rejected by the male lead, his little self-esteem was hurt, so he instinctively hated the male lead, and instinctively said something he called "bad things" in front of the dean. An ironic scene is that the dean mentioned many times that Klara's imagination is very rich. In fact, it is not Klara who is rich in imagination, but it is the dean and the people who know the incident. People at this time don't care about the truth of the matter anymore, they will turn the truth of the matter into that according to their own imagination. No one thinks that he is a perpetrator, but he is a hero of justice. All people will go to siege this anti-social and anti-righteous "prey" through their actions to prove their sense of justice!
All the actors have great acting skills! I really admire the director for making such a shocking movie!
