Humanity Exposure in a State of Occlusion

Recently, I have been making up last year's movies, and I finished watching Fei Wen's "The Tailor" a few days ago.
After watching it for the first time, I didn't have too many thoughts, but some clips have been echoing in my heart. Today, I suddenly found out that this is the real version of "Dog Town"-a kind of human nature exposed in a closed state.

When the surrounding things are pitiful and people live in only one environment for a long time, the original human nature will be exposed involuntarily.

The daughter of the grocery store, who was timid and cowardly at first, seemed to be bullied only by others, but when her self-confidence was dug out by Fat Wen's clothes, it quickly turned into arrogance and unreasonableness. In an environment that has been repressed, once she has a little self-confidence, it is easy to evolve into arrogance, because she thinks that this is the whole world.

The teacher who gave false testimony, on the one hand, lived cautiously under the oppression of the mayor, for fear of making a mistake, so he was willing to testify against Fei Wen; on the other hand, he turned his cowardice into the bullying of those who were weaker than him. Many people who are bullied will not resist, but will help others to bully weaker people.

The rest of the town echoed what they said. The mayor said it was Fat Wen who killed people, and people said it was right. She killed them. No one would really think about what the truth was. It is difficult for people to find other powerful support, so they have to follow the crowd.

This reminds me of myself and many of my friends who have come out of small towns. Sometimes we try to escape from our original family and city. Is it because the long-term relationship and small life have already exposed human nature to its fullest extent, so we have to go elsewhere. Looking for a way out to find the ideal world?

But in the end, either the essence is buried in prosperity, impetuousness, and emptiness, which confuses you and thinks you can get rid of it; or you are disappointed again and migrate again; or you finally compromise, of course, some people can find the ideal country, after all, the forest is bigger, what kind of bird will have.
