Although I can't argue for the statement that "human nature is inherently evil", at least I can cite a large number of examples to overturn "human nature is inherently good", such as this article. Being indifferent and turning a deaf ear, it may be for its own interests, and it may have long been unclear right and wrong in the environment of calling deer a horse. Subjectively, I prefer the latter, which also indirectly shows that people are not good at the beginning, and they have both right and wrong concepts. It is gradually cultivated by acquired education and environment. When you grow up in an environment where black and white are reversed, people will completely reverse right and wrong. This concept is comparable to the "Villain of the Villains" in Gu Long's novels. In any case, I believe that at the beginning of human beings, the nature is chaotic and unclear.
The film depicts what it was like in Germany after World War II: cities were filled with ruins, but the bellies of civilians were empty. In order to fill their stomachs, children are forced to steal and rob, adults steal electricity, and women sell their colors; the hospital's food is good, and the bedridden old father will recover after 3 or 4 days of living in it: if he can continue It's fine to stay in the hospital, but it becomes a burden when you get home.
The center of the story revolves around such a family of four. The father was bedridden for a long time, and the brother returned from World War II. In order not to be caught in prison, he hid at home all day and dared not go out. For the sake of the family, the sister went out every night to "work". , 12-year-old Edmond is not yet of working age, but he still works everywhere. When I first met him, he was a very sensible and responsible child. Dad blamed his brother for not coming out to take on family responsibilities, and sister complained about how his brother could be indifferent to Edmond's gang of thieves. It seemed that he was the only one who always defended his brother and felt that he should do things for him that he couldn't accomplish.
Occasionally, his teacher Haining appeared. He gave Edmond a not-so-glamorous "job", and while defending himself, he preached the theory of "survival of the fittest" to Edmond. Edmond had a huge psychological impact. On the first day the old father was discharged from the hospital, Edmond poured him a cup of tea, "Breaking Tea". On the black and white film, the director was very calm, restrained, and realistically narrated the story, but the audience could feel that something was wrong, which affected Edmond's chemical effects. Edmond and a slight change in the rhythm of the film. Later, the old father passed away suddenly. Edmond's performance was a bit unusual. He was not very sad, and he was unwilling to accompany his elder brothers and sisters to see the old father. His heart was flustered, he questioned his actions, and could not accept the consequences... He chose to hide upstairs in the ruins next door, watching the truck drag his father's body away, he chose a position and jumped down...
There are comments about how children can be so crazy, I say not crazy, but ignorant. Cruel for ignorance, madness for ignorance. And the harsh life left him no chance to be guided by kindness, so he left in a hurry
