Thoughts on "The Hunt"

It's been a few days since I watched this film, and I have settled down the hostility when I watched the film. I think about the thoughts this film brought to me relatively rationally.

First of all, of course, what must be affirmed is the excellent acting skills of Uncle Mai. In my opinion, he completely expresses the feeling that a person is suffering such grievances. The desperate performance is undoubtedly what I like very much. , It also made me feel the complex emotions of despair.

Next, I would like to briefly talk about a few roles and my thoughts triggered by a few roles.

First, the kindergarten principal. Because of the little girl’s words of revenge, the principal performed a series of self-righteous behaviors, which caused the protagonist to fall into a huge disaster. Before she did these things, she didn’t seem to have thought about this problem with her brain, just relying on it. With the little girl's words and ignoring the protagonist's usual personality, she opened up the "magnificent" conjecture that she destroyed too many things. I think there are some names for this kind of people, such as "Long Tongue Woman", "Tongue Chewing Aunt" and so on. This kind of people has a characteristic, that is, they are good at Lenovo, good at fantasizing, and good at catching the wind and shadows. Their unconstrained "logical" thinking is staggering. In my opinion, these people are usually the creators of public opinion and the destroyers of harmony. As for why the principal should do it? Why does she want to believe and contribute to the flames even though she knows that the child's words are not credible? Is it an excessive sense of responsibility and mission as a principal? Is it because you want to find a sense of presence? Too self-confident and self-righteous? Or is it that although the principal is not in conflict with the protagonist, he just wants to take this opportunity to ruin someone, so as to satisfy himself and bring himself pleasure? Are you unhappy if you don't do something? Is it very happy to see others suffer? At this time, I have to think of the inferior nature of human beings again, which is indeed our eternal object of thinking.

Second, the clerk of the convenience store. After the incident, the clerk of the convenience store refused to sell things to the protagonist, telling the protagonist not to come to the store anymore, and finally even fought the protagonist and threw the protagonist out of the convenience store. I think this kind of people is very sad. Even if the protagonist does something like that, what right do they have to refuse to sell to the protagonist or even beat the protagonist? Even if something like that happens, what does it have to do with them? Do they really have such a sense of social responsibility? Such people are universal, and universal values ​​are composed of such people. The performance of such people is often a manifestation of nearby human groups. They seldom think independently, lack independent thinking, and are easily influenced by the opinions around them. They think that they can talk about current affairs and politics. In fact, they don’t understand anything. They rarely read books, even if they read books, Hamlet is the majority. The Hamlet in the eyes of people, even forcing the Hamlet in their eyes to be the same as most Hamlets, over time, their Hamlet will be exactly the same as most people's Hamlet. In our current society, this kind of people are active in the major forums on Weibo and Zhihu Duan. Whenever they encounter any situation, they always reply and reply without thinking and unknowingly become a free navy. They are narrow-minded, numb, cruel, emotionally easily mobilized, bullying and fearing hardship, worshiping popular culture, thinking that they are advancing with the times, thinking that they have a sense of social responsibility, knowing why they all understand, blindly catering to universal values, and thinking that the three views are correct. It is not easy to be educated, and the inferiority of human beings is vividly reflected in this kind of people. They didn't move the knife, but the number of people who died under their hands was more than tens of thousands?

The third category, the protagonist’s friends, the protagonist’s child’s godfather. After the incident, among the protagonist’s so many friends, he is the only one who maintains a clear mind and independent thinking ability to distinguish right from wrong (right and wrong here are considered to be in line with universal values). Those who watched coldly, and even beat the protagonist and his children, only this one was normal. Yes, there are only a few people who have independent thinking and can remain independent in a harsh environment. The amount of knowledge, the degree of broadness of vision, and the independence of thinking are closely related to whether to become the second or third type of person. This type of people maintains the normality of society, but they will always die in the hands of the second type of people.

Before watching this film, my friend once asked me what would you do if you were the protagonist. Of course, if it were me, I would never be able to remain calm like the protagonist (although it’s a little out of control, it’s already very calm) until I regain my innocence, I will definitely be destroyed in this farce, illegal and criminal. Normal (after all, they are just things defined by people themselves), and eventually they lose their humanity. I thought about it and thought that if it were me, I would be destroyed. I don't know what I will do in the future, but at least for now, I will choose to retaliate, then lose my humanity in the revenge, and finally destroy.
