Human nature is good, human nature is evil?

This film made me see the weakness of human nature, and the evil in human nature, and showed a story of human indolence through a group of children who were supposed to be the most innocent.
The stories in the movie terrified me, and made me sigh even more. The civilization, democracy and rationality that human beings have pursued after thousands of years of struggle and games have become so vulnerable in the face of primitive desire and barbarism. The evil nature makes everything go back to the wild era in an instant. Children are fighting each other, crazy and ferocious. For the so-called selfishness and rights, the tyrannical magic power is wantonly inflated on the seemingly hopeless island. enlarge. In a short period of time, the island that was supposed to be a paradise has become an appalling hell on earth.
In the course of human development, the upward road is always too tortuous, and the downward road is always too smooth. I couldn't help but have a big doubt: Is human nature inherently good, or is human nature inherently evil?
