Perfect life?

After watching this film, I felt a shudder.
Many times our desire for control even rises to the point where we want to deprive others of their basic rights. Maybe this is just the darkest side of everyone's heart. In our daily life, we still try to play our due roles - husband, wife, and Try to keep our life in an orderly state without appearing the patriarchal or matriarchal society in primitive society.
Unfortunately, "Copy Wife" shows our inner desire to control others: in Stepford, the husband kills his wife and replaces it with a robot in order to satisfy his absolute status in the family. After the so-called "reform", the wife is gentle and gentle, and she only wants to please her husband, do housework well, and take care of children. Since then, everyone has lived a "perfect life".
But is this really the perfect life? Obviously our reason tells us that this is definitely not a perfect life.
The desire to control is a natural part of human nature, but modern society is formed on the basis of restricting people's desire for control. Only by restricting the desire for control can we enjoy freedom to the greatest extent and give freedom of others. Otherwise, our society will really regress to a highly centralized feudal society: the emperor has the power of life and death, and the subjects are just a small cog in the country and are insignificant.
The reason why "Copying My Wife" is chilling is the infinite amplification of the desire for control. The tragedy of everyone in the film is a warning of this amplified consequence: loss of self.
What the film shows is just a space that has lost its limits and inflated desires infinitely. However, in real life, this kind of control over everything is even worse than in the film. Now, keyword: Chnia (you know how to combine it yourself)]
