No trust between people is a disaster

If a guy suddenly says his neighbor is going to blow up the FBI office building, do you think the police will believe it? I think most people probably feel that this person is whimsical, probably insane. But if it were me, I would rather believe what it is than not believe it. The film tells the story of a neighbor who took advantage of the hero's out-of-control emotions and love for his son to blow up the FBI office building. The male protagonist's graduate student girlfriend, unwilling to believe, or even suspicious of what the male protagonist kept saying, "My neighbor is suspicious", died tragically under the cliff. The male protagonist was furious and frustrated with repeated distrust, and was finally defeated by emotion. The rational awakening at the end of the film could not save his life. I think people live in this world, they must look at things with good intentions but not without a skeptical eye; they must maintain absolute rationality under any extreme conditions; I am not very comfortable after watching the movie, and the final tragedy is the male protagonist Accumulated step by step, I felt injustice for her girlfriend, who died innocently. Why are so many people now willing to see the appearance, rather than thinking about what purpose he is doing? The male protagonist puts forward a point again and again, a person who has just raised his salary is going to blow up his building in two weeks, just because of tax evasion? Therefore, this question also shows that the media should not believe it casually. It is possible that events are just different versions of the media! The film also gave me some inspiration: 1. Stay sensible at all times 2. The reasons for events written by the media cannot be trusted, you can only believe in the results 3. Be suspicious 4. Trust is required between people
