The country is just an illusion

After watching "The Boy in Striped Pajamas", it has been a long time since I watched a better-looking movie. The childhood of an eight-year-old child was full of adventurous spirit. The tutor told him that if he finds a "nice" Jew, he is the world. The best explorer in the world, and he found it. In his heart, he told him that his best friend was a little Jew. The child's unique communication speed and spiritual commonality make him resist vain "patriotism", even this doctrine comes from his favorite father. An absurd ending, but you can expect what a child can do. The child can only use death to wake up the world, and the nature of family affection is destroyed to present the nihility of "patriotism".
What is the country? A country is a large collection of countless natural families. It is too simple to say, because the emergence of nationalism comes from the rise of modern nationalism. Humans are social animals, and it is this animal-based nature that allows humans to form associations, and politics is born from this situation. When politics is organized with an extreme norm, all doctrines and ideals become anti-human under this concept. In an environment where people's basic survival is so humble, is the state still necessary? Is nationalism too much to make people feel inferior to not wanting it? The family is a small unit. In this environment, the blood relationship and individual abilities of the members alone can still function and maintain well; once it enters the social level, such as a region, the co-existence of the members presents a geometric double speed level. The trend of complexity, therefore, how to organize interpersonal relationships and norms has become an important issue of interpersonal and social coexistence. However, if this large-scale organization method and standard becomes the ultimate goal, it will stop the interests of individuals from the "populism", and the organization method and standard will become a form of a headache. That's why we find so many demolition and "urban management actions" for the so-called community interests, urban interests, and even more "considering the overall situation". If a system or method of distribution of interests or division of power cannot achieve even the most basic individual interests, it is really better not to do so. The most dangerous and tragic manifestation of this system is likely to be that any individual in it may become a "wife-killing". A self-extinct person who kills his son and loses his conscience.
Human natural family affection is the decomposing factor of totalitarianism and the supremacy of royal power. However, when totalitarianism was strong for a while, the story of obliterating humanity and strangling family affection became the best expression of human tragedy. Lu Xun said to the Revolutionary Party that "there is a mother at home, and it is hard to forgive me." However, the fact that countless sons and wives told their fathers, wives, and friends during the Cultural Revolution always reminded us: Satan has always been in our hearts, ready to flee. Out of the prison.

    The baby wearing a short trousers, shirt, vest, eyes like a transparent lake can see through all the purity. Thinking that the boy in striped pajamas would turn into smoke in the chimney, but with such a hasty ending, the heavy rain hit the heart like sulfuric acid.

    The ending is really disturbing

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas quotes

  • Herr Liszt: Yes Bruno?

    Bruno: I don't understand, the Jew is down to this one man?

    Herr Liszt: The Jew here means the entire Jewish race. If it was just this one man I'm sure something would be done about him.

    Bruno: There is such thing as a nice Jew isn't there?

    Herr Liszt: [Sarcastically] I think Bruno if you ever find a nice Jew, you'd be the best explorer in the world.

  • Father: My work is very important to our country and to you. We're working very hard to make the world better for you.
