son of red

I don't know where to start, but after reading the comments written by other people, I feel that this subject is actually too deep and deep, and I must read the comics when I have time.

When animation or comics involve deeper connotations (especially politics), I always think in my heart, can people who draw comics and animations talk about this topic? The real situation is often complicated.

There are so many abrupt and unreasonable things in this movie, Batman's behavior, Wonder Woman's flat feminist image and strange departure, Luthor's before-and-after comparison, all make me a bit of a drama. As it turns out, the movie wasn't very good.

Regarding the mutual opposition and suppression between the two ideologies, in fact, I think the voice of Wonder Woman is more reasonable, peace rather than struggle, common development and seeking common ground while reserving differences rather than intrigue and attack each other. That deep-seated wariness and distrust of each other is really disturbing. But the real world is often not so simple, which makes Wonder Woman seem a little vexatious. Including the fact that Luthor also sent the green light to attack later, how can he suddenly look righteous and awe-inspiring at the end, it really doesn't work.

For the so-called freedom, is it not allowed to sacrifice at all? This is a question worth thinking about. Sacrificing too much for a city in a bottle doesn't seem like a good idea, but freedom is unlikely to be the number one consideration. "Freedom, how many sins are committed in your name". As Luthor said at the end, they want to reach out to where they need help, but what is freedom? Is freedom in the real world happiness? Freedom may just be an excuse, a morally found rhetoric.

In fact, I am more concerned about who will take his place after Superman leaves, is it the free world, and will the original people be suppressed after the free world takes over?

That's all, the film's ideas are acceptable, but the depth is not enough to surface, which kind of destroys a good subject matter.
