Violence is also dialectical

As long as the world is violent, it doesn't matter whether you live in hell in Yugoslavia or in London pretending to be heaven. As long as there is violence in the world, you cannot be complacent about being outside yourself. Twenty years before the Paris terrorist attacks, "Heavy Rain is Coming" told us this truth, predicting what would happen.

The structure of "Heavy Rain is Coming" is divided into two parts: space and time.

In terms of spatial structure, three base points, Orthodox monastery-London-Macedonian countryside. From the bloody former Yugoslavia to the developed, stable and courteous London, England. 3 stories are arranged in 3 locations. The huge span of time and space between the three is like a huge arch , The evil of human nature is like a dark fragrance, and violence is rampant, like a big umbrella opened here, covering the whole world, there is nowhere to escape. His

girlfriend asked Alexander why he was tired of war photography. Alexander took a deep breath :
Romania, ah? El Salvador, Azerbaijan, Angola, Bosnia? Damn, peace is the exception, not the rule Small quarrels.

Time never passes, circles are not round. TIME NEVER DIES. THE CIRCLE IS NOT ROUND.. Such a time and space does not imply hope, in fact it implies greater despair. There is always someone who wants to break the closed circle, But no matter how you break it, you are still just staying on the surface of the ellipsoid.

Violence also has dialectics.
