Ted Analysis -
Ted pursues absolute freedom and absolute integrity of himself. On the one hand, it is because he is wise and thoughtful, and sensitively detects the redefinition and confinement of social rules, industrialization on the development of human personality, and the boundaries of freedom. On the other hand, it is because Ted is sensitive by nature, and life just exposed the cruel side to him earlier: human nature is fickle, fragile trust, deceit and trampling... He can no longer believe, can no longer love.
Ironically, everyone thought Ted was either insane or demonic, yet he was just awake and childlike and absolutely pure. He coldly told the truth, that it was a human farce that was staged one after another, including people being enslaved by industrialization, exploiting each other for profit, losing the pursuit of freedom, and losing the question of life... In Ted's view, he has the highest wisdom Humans seem to be the most stupid.
Ted's ideas are the best interpretation of individual freedom. He went beyond the so-called normal rules of society and tried to be that different person, the retrograde who went against the tide of society. Even Fiz said that he respected such courage.
However, Ted forgets that humans can still love, whether it is having or giving. Those many ordinary people can't be the victims of other people's thoughts, otherwise, you and the violence you are fighting against will be no different.
Perfect, including the soundtrack - the best thing about this film is that it gives too much room to think, it doesn't give an absolute choice of black and white. Even after Ted was convicted, the show didn't take a stand very clearly: Ted was ashamed, and probably partly regretted, after hearing the victim's speech, he couldn't say a word in his own defense anymore, and he began to learn Love and empathy, but he lost the freedom that he cherished most in his life. Because of this, watching the movie is very emotional, switching back and forth between thinking that Ted is cunning enough to sympathize with him. At the same time, the play also uses the thread of Fiz to challenge the boundaries of rules and freedom again and again, and tries to explore multiple issues: the imperfect judicial system; how to guarantee the freedom of each individual human being; the justice of social existence; and the self Where should the bound human beings go in the end?
The bgm at the end stirs the nerves again and makes people's heart beat faster: Fiz is in front of the red light, hovering at the boundary of rules and freedom, how will he choose?
