A simple comedy, but it caused me to think deeply

Yes, art comes from life, and American elections are ridiculous both in the director's lens and in reality, but is this the fault of electoral democracy? I think it is not. I have seen too many current political news and historical events and cases. I am more and more convinced that any form of thought in the world, especially religion and ideology, is essentially a tool. The problem is never the tool, but the use of the tool. people.

Just like a gun, a gun can kill people. When the villain gets a gun, they will burn, kill, plunder, and do no evil, but when the villain comes in front of you and your family, if you have a gun in your hand, the villain will either stay away or be killed by your gun. The villain uses a gun to do evil, and a good person can take up a gun to act chivalrously on behalf of the sky.

Thought is such a thing, it can teach people to do good, and it can also be used to inspire people to do evil. What we want to oppose is not just any kind of thought, but the evil in human nature, those who are driven by evil thoughts.

And another thought that puzzles me is that some people think that the United States can make such self-defeating movies, but we can't. And I want to ask, is it useful if the irony is over and the laugh is over? What should we do?

For example, in South Korea, the Zhang Ziyan case was made in a movie, but the real murderer is still at large. Later, several Korean actresses committed suicide. This film was shot, and nothing has changed. So is Sowon. It was a good shot. , But still nothing has changed. The real murderer has not been sentenced to death. He has just been released from prison these days, but 11 years after the Suyuan case, there was another room N incident. I don't know what the significance of such movies apart from winning a few awards and touting the superiority of this country's "good at self-defeating" for some licking dogs. They didn't even dispel the animal desires of the beasts to do evil.

In addition, it is the "Parasite" that satirizes the status quo of South Korea's social class and won a grand slam at the Oscars. How many people know that one of the investors in the film is the granddaughter of the founder of Samsung Group, and what Samsung is in Korea? For those who know this country, I don’t need to say more about this status.

Another example is this film. Eight years after it was released, as I watched it, the United States in reality is undergoing a presidential election that is more ironic and exciting than the plot itself. People in other countries all over the world are watching American jokes. For some reason, people who hate the United States and its system are celebrating. Americans and spiritual believers who have always believed in American democracy can only cry.

But as a bystander, I want to ask from the bottom of my heart: You know that your system is imperfect and there are problems, so why don't you revise and reform it? Do you have to see the coffin without crying, or hit the south wall without looking back?

Maybe it’s really just a comedy. Everyone can take a look and laugh and have a good time. The movie ends. Everyone goes back to each house and finds their own mothers. What should they do? In reality the villains continue to do evil, but everyone’s lives , Have to continue.

    It's too cold, it's not because I'm Asian, that maid's joke is really bad. Whether it's the reference of politics, I have common sense or not, the script lacks jokes
