In this triune, dramatic movie, the audience didn’t feel boring at all. It was just a short afternoon, two men, two women, and two families. All of a sudden, all kinds of problems came up. In other words, politics, human nature, Western values, and the cognitive level of modern civilization; in the dark, men, women, families, middle-aged crises, and marital conflicts. In the dialogue, these questions are covered one by one and clicked to the end. I have to say that Polanski is really a genius, that is, he still has not lost his humor and laughter in this chatty drama movie. The several stages of the dialogue, the small climax in the stage, and the big climax of the entire dialogue are all ups and downs. , The start-up, transfer, and transition of each stage are moderately heated, always keeping the audience fresh. In the fierce dispute between the four people, the most prominent or most arousing spectator's thinking should be the doubt and refutation of the two cognitive concepts of civilization and brutality by Westerners. It is also a collision of American values, whether it is killing or peace, heroism or silence. Children are the fuse of this debate, children are the seeds of the future, and the value orientation of the adult world has already begun to emerge in an afternoon of debate. Is civilization a fig leaf of the real world? Chaos and confusion is a question that Westerners who express their own opinions should think about, because they already have the conditions and time to think about these things, and they don't just think about lust after being warm. The middle class represents the mainstream discourse power and values, and the dialogue between the four adults opens up to us several attitudes of the American midfielder towards such issues. The morality of idealism and the morality of realism can never be reconciled. The perpetrator and the victim can never stand on the same plane and negotiate. The so-called morality and civilization may be just a mask of actual violence, and this mask is very easy to fall off. As Mr. C said, there is a god of killing in everyone's heart. Killing is human nature, and civilization has become a kind of hypocrisy. In fact, everyone wants to be a perpetrator, and the height of morality is always within the relative scope of an interest group. Just like the parents of the injured child in the play are putting themselves to a moral height, thinking that they are a symbol of civilization. Therefore, they will put out tulips and put out pie to forge a peaceful and civilized peace talks. But in fact? They will always have differences. They still have dissatisfaction and grievances. What they want more is not peace talks, but throwing away Nancy's bag as Penny did at the end, and using violent methods to resolve the dissatisfaction in their hearts. Conversely, the Carren family did not have a feeling of guilt from the heart. Perhaps they did at first, but deep down they still didn't feel that they had any problems. They just had to apologize and negotiate because of the shackles of "civilization". And when these four people could never agree, their attitudes at each stage began to reveal their true inner thoughts. Alcohol made the "God of Killing" in their hearts start to wake up. Nancy’s politeness and Penny’s polite restraint all fell apart. In these two women’s dramas, they used each word on the issue of conflict, and they hit it off on the issue of men and family; the same was true for the two gentlemen. On the issue of children, they are at war. On the issue of women and family, they show that they don’t care. They want to talk about whiskey or smoking a cigar. This reflects the attitudes of men and women on family issues and the views of men and women on each other. Four of the people's perceptions of society reflect Americans' views on politics and several existing mainstream value orientations. Penny’s idealistic ethics, Penny’s husband’s classical values, Nancy’s feminist way of thinking, and her husband’s secularist values have all been fully demonstrated. In this afternoon, all the illusions about civilization in a middle-class home in Brooklyn, New York were gradually torn down. Do we see what we are?
