America puts you in a box, it's small and dirty, you can't move, we're all in it. Its light is limited, some people get it, some people don't. This is the line in the movie, referring to the difficult and awkward social situation of black people or people of color (there is an Asian supporting actress in it) in the United States. However, judging from the content and plot of the film, removing the politically correct viewpoints and replacing the word ''America' with 'society', this line is not inconsistent. So I don't think political correctness is what this film wants to express. The only theme is a scene that we are not unfamiliar with in life. When you grab the food that has reached the mouth from the pet's mouth, it will probably bite you, even if you are the owner of it. Charlie Munger calls this phenomenon "being caught" Super-response tendency to deprivation". Not only is this the case with animals, but human beings in the jungle society where they live together will also show a state of striving for and protecting their own interests as much as possible. When you try to deprive others of their vested interests, he will also respond to You are grinning. The film uses the perspective of truth to explain this phenomenon. When superimposing interests on the truth, the truth is divided into subjective truth and objective truth. Your position ultimately determines whether you choose A or B. The "truth" is actually not the most important thing. The first principle of judgment, or the instinctive selection standard, is whether it is beneficial to self-interest. The background of the male protagonist is set to be from Eritrea, one of the poorest countries in the world. African teenager, I don't know if the writer and director are using the American way to interpret "Poverty Mountains and Bad Waters Make Mischief People", and then link this to an award-winning film. If so, Laomei's values ​​are not much higher than ours, don't be arrogant all day long Coax, you are all rotten and backward, only I can build a community with a shared future for mankind! In addition, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman are really related, except for a short one.
