I've been watching Water Margin recently, so let's start with Water Margin.
Water Margin pays attention to the pleasure and grievances, and the most important point is excessive revenge.
The kindness of a drop of water is repaid with the fountain, the sin of the baht is paid for with one's life, ten times the kindness, and a hundred times the blood vengeance. This kind of plot can move people, indicating that it hits a certain fundamental desire of human beings. I think it should be the desire for revenge.
Of all human desires, revenge must be one of the most difficult to get rid of.
The act of revenge is not only out of its own emotional needs, but also easily linked to the so-called axioms of heaven and earth. When an injustice avenger takes revenge, it is often possible to take revenge not just as a private act, but as part of nature's cruelty to the law.
Retaliation is not just a right, but more often, as Hamlet puts it, a "duty on the whole."
Water Margin is a cool essay that conforms to people's hearts. When the world is injustice and lacks the power of justice to correct it, people hope that the society will naturally generate the power of revenge. Perhaps this power of revenge is not based on justice, not out of benevolence, but also It will not bring tranquility and peace, but this vengeance is still needed by people who would rather die with injustice than be ruled by injustice forever.
The reason why people like Water Margin may be because of the same mentality as Ye Wenjie who wants to attract three-body people.
The so-called wicked have their own grind. Song Jiang and Li Kui are all demons, and the common people are well aware of this.
Back to movies.
The Danish officers at all levels in the film naturally have the desire for revenge, which is human nature, but under the background of the time, this desire for revenge was suppressed by a certain social bottom line. They still regarded German prisoners of war as human beings, only Germans. They still have some basic bottom line in their eyes, not driving them all out. Under a just system, when people really get along with each other, the friendly and great side of human nature begins to return.
I think one of the important factors why mankind has enjoyed such a long period of peace after World War II is that its end is accompanied by the fairest trial that can be carried out under the conditions at that time, and a fair trial is the best way to restrain revenge tool.
Hatred does not need to be encouraged at any time, because it is the most basic human desire like hunger.
Using desire to control is always the most cunning and most effective way.
What can maintain order is just law outside the chain of hatred and causality, and only love and tolerance can save the world.
