The movie tells a story like this: a young and beautiful girl committed suicide, and the "inspector" came to investigate an upper-class home inextricably linked to the girl's death. The daughter and son-in-law confessed to what they had done, and they should all be responsible for the girl's death. After the detective left, when the family was in despair, things took a turn for the worse. It turned out that the detective was a fake girl's death. fake. Under the huge surprise, the hostess, hostess and son-in-law were about to celebrate with each other, which is simply ugly. It was followed by a sudden phone call that sent them to hell, saying "a girl committed suicide".
Since we think the theme is sin, let's take a look at the sins of these people from this aspect.
To start with "Sir" (the title he wanted so much was just in quotes), he fired Eva for organizing a strike. From an economic point of view, there is no problem with this approach. He does not owe Eva anything. It is normal to pay wages at market rates. Businessmen are not philanthropists. Why pay excessive wages. It is reasonable to dismiss the strike leader as a punishment. If he is really unscrupulous, he can take the opportunity to cut wages and make a windfall at the moment when the workers are exhausted by the strike. Did he do it? no. Many people in the world now denounce sweatshops for exploiting labor, but hiring labor in those areas is because it is cheap, which is almost their only advantage. If the government stipulates or the workers force excessive wages, the businessmen will not go there at all. After setting up a factory, they don't even have the opportunity to work. Even "Sir" said "you can go somewhere else if you can't do it" is a rational statement, why not go to the place that gives 25 shillings? There's likely to be only men there or more tiring jobs or more expensive rents in that area, so this is their best bet right now.
Well, the economics way of thinking can seem ruthless. But we are all human, not machines but emotional animals. Russell said, "The desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the unstoppable sympathy for human suffering, these three pure and incomparably strong passions govern my life." As human beings, we should give some help to others, right? Some methods may work, such as rewarding some excellent employees with higher wages to motivate people to make more and better products, winning more profits in the market with excellent products to pay more wages, or simply earning less yourself Pay everyone's wages (although this approach will dampen his enthusiasm for doing business, and it is not good for the development of the factory in the long run).
I believe that if "Sir" can have a strong sympathy, he can figure out a way to achieve a win-win situation. His greatest sin is to think that he is superior to others (also the evil of the hostess), and treat the poor like grass. And the education of children, which is not as serious as sin. It can be seen in the movie that although their social status is high, their children do not have enough respect for them. It can be said that what happened later is the mine that they planted.
The sin of the heroine also lies in the above two points. She may be the most hated character, because she fails in these two points to the point of being disgusting. First of all, when choosing clothes, she did not give her daughter any face at all, and she had to control her clothes (the daughter was about to get engaged), which also caused her daughter to complain to Eva in anger. And the charitable organizations run by several of the ladies seem to be giving out to the poor for their own image. The original intention is not to help all living beings and how to really do charity work. It is because of her overly strong class consciousness.
As for the son-in-law, he said, "This kind of thing (taking a mistress) is something a man would do." I couldn't argue with that, what else can I say to such a bastard! It is a heinous crime to deceive a woman's feelings! Be punished! (Hahaha, when Tianpeng was accused of molesting Chang'e, Taibaijinxing said, "Tianpeng is here, and he will be punished according to the law!" The Jade Emperor sighed
. The two children, if they were a little younger, their sins should be borne by their parents, and their parents didn't teach them well. But now that he is an adult, he must take the corresponding responsibility. Who told you that you didn't hurry up on self-education when you knew that your parents were not good? There is no shortage of opportunities for education at home. It is a big sin to give up growing up.
Besides Eva, her greatest misfortune is that she is too beautiful without the corresponding wisdom. I am most afraid of being in troubled times. Since you are in troubled times, you have to keep a low profile. You also lead a strike and laugh when people try clothes. This is your fault. When people try clothes, you should be flashy and stimulate others Woolen cloth. I always feel that the role of Eva is not full enough. She is the only one who comes and goes. She has no family or anything. It makes people feel that she is a character specially designed to suffer, and she has to commit suicide in such a painful way...
As for the presiding judge, she is a I'm not interested in what kind of missionary or supernatural phenomenon. The words he said before he left had a holy meaning to enlighten the world. In addition, he used the psychological suggestion and conversation skills successfully from the time he entered the room. In general, he is a charming character. .
This drama has been changed, and the atmosphere of the film is very successful. The actors have first-class acting skills, beautiful pictures, and good voice (I still prefer British pronunciation). Aside from a little flaw in the script and the mischief about the presiding judge's identity, it's perfect. Four stars!
