Reflections on Power and Desire in Disorder

Herold, a deserter, can do whatever he wants with the help of a captain's skin, from experimenting with power, learning power, and mastering power and abusing it. Throughout the process, we can see how power can make a timid and cowardly person become evil and crazy in a disordered environment.

Herold's path to power came from the disorder of war. The common people lost their trust in the soldiers and lost their recognition of the country's credibility. Soldiers, despairing at the prospect of war, spend their days numb. The chiefs at all levels only cherish the power in their hands, and no longer think about the country, a picture of the collapse of the empire. In this environment, the remaining order suppresses the indulgence of despair. The appearance of Herold caters to people's indulgence. The common people can punish the soldiers with criminal law, the camp chief can clean up the troubles in the camp, and the upper levels can also use this opportunity to divide the power scope of the military department and the judicial department, ushering in the tense of Totally out of control. After the chaotic shuffling, it no longer mattered who Schroeder was, whether his actions were just or reasonable or not. The important thing is that he is the rule, a kangaroo judge who can decide the fate of anyone at any time.

If there is chaos, let the chaos come more violently. Show your undisguised evil side to the world. Wine, women, fun, indulgence, just want to be happy now. When power is in the hands of a demon, the demon's way of doing things becomes the new order. However, the funny thing is how satisfied the parties were with the order of the devil in the disordered environment at that time.

    After watching the play "Fake Captain", it is necessary to say a few words about "Hollywood Ending". Acting, acting or pretending removes barriers to people's communication and at the same time builds a unified context. Just like the symbolic military uniform, it first provides a virtual space and then a specific identity. God is completely absent in this allegorical work, which is embroidered into uniforms of different ranks. The reason why Nazism is easy to revive is precisely because of the rationalization brought about by modernization. These symbols, which are well known to women and children, have created a walking context. Never has an era been so far away from the world we live in, yet so close to evil. . It is a pity that the concise and cold black and white did not purify the film, and the crime and punishment were all passed on to innocent people.

    At the beginning, the most amazing thing was that a low-level soldier actually used a uniform to direct and act as a tall senior officer, and successfully deceived everyone's acting skills. After all, some temperaments can't be put on by clothes, just like the shop owner said. : Now the uniform is not good enough. On the other hand, it also makes people marvel at the rigorous military and political system of Germany during World War II. The most regrettable thing is to discover how vulnerable the rule of law is in the face of the rule of man. Sticking a label to the supreme head of state, you can rob and kill arbitrarily. We know that the captain is rampant all the way, even if there is a passerby character who is deeply questioned, nothing will happen. However, because of the obscenity of the head of state, no one dares to check the origin of this person, and more What is terrifying and ridiculous is that the easter egg is a wake-up call to modern and contemporary human society. No passers-by question the rationality of World War II soldiers forcibly robbing contemporary passers-by to resist. Just like the society we live in, there are still liars with various names running rampant. Why? Do they still have room to live? It can be seen that what really needs to be flogged is not the magnified dark desire to kill, but to reflect on the fragility of human society. The social operating mechanism can be recklessly attacked by its own virus.
