No one can live like an animal, only obeying the laws of nature, doing whatever they want without scruples. In the final analysis, human beings are the product of obedience to social evolution, unknowingly accepting the assimilation of ideology and morality. As a result, those original behaviors and impulses are hidden. They can only do a few things under the prescribed system. Perhaps the dull environment is too boring for them, so those stimuli and impulses are irresistibly attractive to them.
They are not evil. From their respective original intentions, they are more like experiencing an exciting game. It is only about the process, ignoring the results. In fact, they did not seriously consider the consequences. When the punishment came, they woke up from their big dreams and couldn't even believe the fact that they had committed a crime.
Spencer is an art student with a talent for painting, he has a happy family, and he has excellent academics. Perhaps these too comfortable factors made him confused, and his life was bland and boring. In the confusion, he didn't know what kind of life he should live, he could not find the meaning of art, and he lost the meaning of life. He is eager to change, and after learning about the experiences of artists, he points this change to the painful and difficult life experience, and always wants to do something to make himself special and experience a life that he has never experienced before. Even if you don't know exactly what to do.
Warren is a rebellious hippie, the instability of the family factor has always plagued him, he is rebellious, petty theft, all his indulgences are not bad behaviors, compared to them in "Trainspotting" Pediatrics, but he seems to have positioned himself as such a person early in the morning, a person who looks different, at least among the four of them, so he is also eager to change, to make himself through some earth-shattering event radical change.
Eric is a typical good student and academic bully. He has a high IQ and poor social skills. The learning environment makes him very withdrawn. Warren may be one of his few friends. If it weren't for Warren, he might Never get involved with crime in your life. The reason for his joining is to maintain the friendship between his friends. He has no concept of the specific consequences of the matter, just because his friends need him, just like helping others to cheat in exams.
Chas doesn't have to worry about money at all. The reason for joining the team is that he wants to find it easier to get what he wants. No matter what the circumstances, in the end, they were all in the same confused period, and they were just immature students. Or use the student's thinking to deal with things.
They are not stupid, they made careful preparations for this theft. First, they searched online to find out how to plan the theft, and then used videos to make up for specific details. They even used their own strengths to draw maps, prepare props, and practice escape routes over and over again. It all seems a bit funny, but they are serious, and they once fantasized about using artistic techniques to complete the theft perfectly. Maybe this is the result they want, the artistic process and gorgeous results, and a different life .
The facts are different from the plan. For the first time, because of the caretaker, the plan was temporarily unsuccessful. The tension, stimulation and pressure faced during the process were unprecedented. Therefore, after the plan failed, I suddenly felt the warmth of the sun and no pressure. Without any scruples, even though everyone is remorse and scolding, they are still happy in their hearts, and they have escaped the disaster.
But this has nothing to do with reality, and everyone remains the same as before, unchanged. Although Warren said he was not the lead, he was without a doubt the central figure, who persuaded others to join in, orchestrated the entire operation, assigned jobs and duties, and courage (responsible for tackling the caretaker)
On the day of the actual battle, they may have realized the difference in reality, they no longer pretend to be, and do it directly. But things got out of hand. Warren didn't stun the caretaker in advance, and even if she electrocuted her, she didn't pass out as expected. After that, it was like a chain reaction was triggered, and everything became different.
Once people cross that red line, they can go on to do whatever is too much, because there is nothing to restrain them, just to get there. This is the moment that is closest to the nature of animals, tension, stress, excitement, joy, violence, all emerge. There is no artistic process, no gorgeous ending, only embarrassing escape.
When everything is trivial, they are actually faced with more problems than they imagined. They can't even believe that they are involved in such a sinful thing. In tormenting their spirits, finally waiting for that moment of liberation to come.
Going back and looking at the whole thing, their original intention is just to do something special to prove that they are not ordinary, their nature is not bad, they have a good education, they are instilled in success from childhood, special, unique Thought.
But the facts make them feel more and more mediocre, so breaking away from mediocrity and realizing self-worth become their primary desires. It takes exploration to evolve into the adult world. This theft has become a sign and temptation of their evolution, but for For them who are still in a period of self-knowledge confusion, it is a bit too radical.
When self-cognition begins to become blurred, adjustment is urgently needed. If there is no external guidance, they will conduct self-exploration, uncharacteristically, or suppress, rebel, or indulge. If this energy is not channeled properly, it will eventually be a punishment of remorse.
