In fact, the story itself is like an online debate caused by a social event, as well as various characters, various techniques, and various relationships in the debate.
First of all, there will be penny in the argument, they will evaluate the incident from a certain moral height, and sum up a series of reasons and consequences, and strongly demand moral education. This kind of people first have a certain cultural quality, otherwise they can't stand at that level, just like penny is a writer himself, and knows very well that if nancy's son doesn't voluntarily apologize to his son, then their meeting is meaningless. this essence. There will also be micheal, they themselves are not very concerned about this matter, but after all, this matter has such a sensation, then as a member of this civilized society, you should participate in this discussion in a civilized manner, although its own quality may be different. It is not high, so it will show the feeling of being on the wall, thinking that what both sides say makes sense. There will also be nancy, and they don't really care about this matter. They mainly focus on coordination when participating in discussions. Although they also have their own tendencies, they are still hidden under the cloak of civilization. There will also be allen. They don't care about the incident at all, and they always say some sarcastic words to stand out, showing that they are also part of the society.
Then summarize the methods they used. First of all, penny used "alarmism" as soon as he came up, and an armed raised the time from petty trouble to the criminal category. Then allen said a lot of sarcastic remarks, showing that he didn't care about the incident. Later, the nancy couple pointed out the reason for the incident, so that their son was not morally inferior. Then allen taunted Michael with his status and professional advantage. Until Nancy vomited on the coffee table, they were all friendly on the surface, but they were already scolding each other in secret. Since the conflict escalated, they gradually took off the cloak of civilization. Allen grabbed Penny's words and pointed at Penny to be alarmist. Then Nancy's death capture and the incident of the guinea pig, which has nothing to do with the incident itself, strongly condemned Michael morally, and received the support of penny, the husband and wife who were originally in the same camp were disintegrated. After that, the conflict broke out in an all-round way. All the previous dissatisfaction and all the irrelevant things were put on the table as long as they could protect their own interests. The scene went out of control several times, which made me very unhappy. When out of control, most of the time, it is not the nancy family against the penny family, but the two men against the woman, just like the regional discrimination, sexism and other discrimination we often encounter. These discriminations do not cease to exist, they are just wrapped in the cloak of civilization.
This society is a civilized society. At the beginning of the story, everyone did have good intentions and a friendly attitude, like handling this matter well. This is from the first brief solitude of the two couples to each other. It is very nice as can be seen. Even if there are differences of opinion here, they can be resolved amicably. But gradually, they began to deviate from the theme, and the focus of the argument was no longer on fighting with children. There are also many times when someone pulls the focus back to the subject, but suddenly strays again. The debate about social events is even more so. In the end, almost no one pays attention to the event itself, and they all start personal attacks and scolding each other. In fact, not so many people really pay attention to this matter, just arguing that this form attracts them. How attractive is it? Look at the Nancy family. They wanted to leave several times, but in the end they were reluctant to leave, and they continued to stay and argue, and if allen was there, they stayed because the debate was too exciting.
At the end of the film, there is a scene of two children playing together in the park. It doesn't look like there is any holiday at all. It is a strong contrast to the four parents who are arguing and blushing. It's not ironic. In fact, a very small matter, even not a matter at all, can cause such a big stir among them, and it can't happen without any one of them. This has to make people reflect on their attitude towards hot issues on the Internet in their lives. Are they the ones fueling the flames? Who are you among those four? There is a more important question: Are you so idle that you have nothing to do, and fight with others for something that has nothing to do with you? Think clearly about these issues, and our lives will not always be arguing and running out of time.
ps: It's hard not to make people think of "12 Angry Men". The technique is exactly the same. It should be a tribute to "12 Angry Men". Personally, I think this film is more contemporary and pays more attention to the problems of contemporary society. . The performances of the four biggest names did not lose at all to "12 Angry Men". Very exciting.
