Greed is the driving force for social progress, and it is also the original sin that leads people to the abyss. But human greed is from small to big, from the initial food and clothing to the last money, which cannot hide people's greed. So in the "Bible" greed is the original sin, one of the seven deadly sins. The movie "Black Hole" uses a simple story to show the greed of human beings vividly and makes the audience think about themselves, so it won the Oscar for Best Short Story.
The movie "Black Hole" tells the story of a down-to-earth clerk who was printing a document, when the machine broke down and a piece of paper was a black hole that could arouse human greed. The clerks who use it to do bad things are most likely to die.
Comment on the theme of the movie
The dim light at the beginning of the film fills the film with an eerie atmosphere, creating a good atmosphere for the film's progress, and at the same time highlighting the loneliness of the protagonist. When the paper with black holes appeared, the light was a little brighter, but there was still a feeling of depression. When the protagonist uses it to fetch food, it proves that human society is first satisfied with food and clothing, but it also shows that the protagonist begins to go into the abyss. When he hit that door, the darkness in the room confirmed that his future had no turning back and could only step into the abyss. When he took out the money, it was greed that dominated him and he was completely hopeless. The falling of the paper not only means that everything is a foregone conclusion but also symbolizes the end of the protagonist's life, the end of the movie.
