Now that it is a civilized society, human beings can protect themselves well. But at the same time, the cannibalism from the same kind has never stopped. This kind of cannibalism has always been "not the worst, only the worst". Every time I encounter this kind of situation, I can't help sighing " Hell is empty, the devil is in the world ".
The movie "July 22" that I recommend to you today is based on real events. It happened in Norway, a developed capitalist country. The perverted killer killed 77 people and injured more than 300 people. It can be described as "horrific." What is shocking is that this tragedy was caused by him alone, and what is even more shocking is that the criminal is still alive and well.
The face above is the Norwegian Breivik who created the "Uter Island Massacre" .
On August 22, 2012, the court sentenced the murderer to the harshest punishment in Norway - 21 years in prison. The moment he heard the verdict, he laughed!
The tragedy happened on July 22, 2011.
At more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in Oslo, the capital of Norway, a government office building suddenly exploded.
Casualty figures came out quickly: 8 dead and 10 seriously injured.
It wasn't over yet. 45 minutes later, gunshots rang out on the island of Uter on the outskirts of Oslo. A 32-year-old man suddenly shot at students camping here.
90 minutes later, the SWAT arrived on the shore, they couldn't believe their eyes
69 people were shot and killed, most of them were teenage students!
The killer was quickly caught, and he admitted that he was also responsible for the car bomb downstairs in the government. A year later, he was sentenced to 21 years in prison, the harshest punishment in Norwegian history.
What? Is this the "toughest"? Because: Norway does not have the death penalty !
Who would have thought that such a brutal massacre would still occur in a modern civilized society?
The massacre is considered the worst violent attack in Norway since the end of World War II. In order to remember this painful lesson forever, director Paul Greenglass made a feature film called "July 22".
The filming and release of the film were controversial, and even for a time it could not be released for various reasons. Fortunately, director Paul Greengrass persevered.
He's a world-renowned director, nominated for an Oscar and a ton of accolades, and he directed and wrote The Bourne Bourne 5. His films are known for their quick edits, and because they're fast and sharp, he's a good director of action movies.
But in "July 22", he remained calm and objective. The whole movie is like a newsreel - a massive explosion, with a shaky hand-held camera, behind the innocent victims. Or directly use nearby surveillance images to keep the truth.
The perverted killer Breivik is not mentally ill. He has a higher education and studied business management at a business school. After living in eastern Norway, he opened a farm and engaged in agricultural products business.
After the case, his lawyer arrived quickly, which shows that he made a lot of preparations in advance. Not only did he find a lawyer, but he also carefully planned the whole operation.
[Breivik in the movie and Breivik in reality]
In the camp, he tricked the kids into saying he was a policeman, then went into the room and raised the gun... to make sure no kid was missed, and when he saw the kid pretending to be dead... he even filled the gun with aplomb.
There is an anti-human calm about him that makes the audience shudder.
Everyone wants to ask: why?
The truth is extremely simple. The murderer is an extreme right-winger , who opposes immigrants of foreign races, and opposes Muslims. However, in 2011, a quarter of Norway's population was immigrant.
Therefore, he aimed his angry guns at the government and created the bombing of government buildings.
So why did he kill teenagers? Because these young people support the government, "they will make everyone in the world one family in the future".
Breivik is an extreme member of the Norwegian Progress Party, a right-wing party opposed to immigration and multiculturalism, also known as a "neo-Nazi".
Speaking of this film, the film actually focuses more on the reflection on modern civilization.
Some of the survivors of the incident lived in fear for the rest of their lives, severely traumatized and never healed; there were others who bravely faced their inner fears and survived.
And what we onlookers need to think about is: Why does the development of civilization take this form?
Ethnic division, terrorism, poverty, extreme right-wing... Every step of human civilization is often accompanied by hatred and inequality.
But even so, it requires great rationality, real courage and persistence. Only in this way can progress in civilization and order be achieved.
Like the criminal who didn't get the death penalty because: Norway doesn't have the death penalty.
