Survival loop

The plot is very simple, there is no need to repeat it. I will try to rationalize my thinking.

First of all, I have to make it clear that in this scenario, any moral values ​​in peace or war are no longer applicable. Because according to the rule of voting to kill one person every minute, there are only two final endings: only one person who cannot vote for himself can survive; no one survives. There is no fundamental difference between voting to kill the elderly first and killing the sick or pregnant women first.

To break free from the shackles of the scene and refuse to be stained with blood, unless there are two kinds: the first is voluntary sacrifice; the second is that someone refuses to do evil from the beginning and does not participate in voting. There are descriptions in the movies. Looking at it this way, it shows that the screenwriter originally planned to be a big plate, hoping to reflect various morals and values ​​in this scene. Morality is a code of conduct generally recognized by a group, such as racial discrimination is wrong, respecting the old and loving the young, caring for the disabled, and caring for the sick. Values ​​are an independent individual's attitude towards the world of the people around him. Therefore, no one is born himself. A writer once said that he cannot become himself without any passage in his life. Pulling away.

Although this scenario does not apply any moral values, everyone will obey their own independent values. For example, perhaps between myself and an old man, I will choose to kill the old man to save myself; and later, I will choose to sacrifice myself to save the child. Although morality is no longer restricted, and once a vote kills people, values ​​change. I'm sure it will not change in a good direction. If you have since believed that "killing is not a crime," then it is not a crime.

Suppose I put myself in this scene, I am one of these 50 people. What choices will I make?
1. Voluntary sacrifice;
2. Refusal to do evil and do not vote;
3. Be silent, be silent, and obey the vote of most people. In this way, one more minute may be a minute to live; the final outcome Still dead;
4. Take the initiative to provoke and form cliques. But it is not enough to provoke public anger and prevent the fire from burning. In the end, it depends on who used the deceptive technique to use the mentality more intelligently;

according to my personality, I should just use these possibilities. In order of probability, the order is 2134.
The purpose of everything is to live. But in that environment:
50 people die every minute, which means that if you want to live, you have to go against your own values, killing people, killing the elderly, children, and pregnant women; the
room is full of institutions, even if the last one survives, how likely is it? Can you go out alive?
In addition, looking bigger, the entire universe is constantly experiencing destruction and rebirth. Living on a remote planet has no meaning at all, but mankind is looking for some meaning. If you die, you will die. Some people will not give up. They change their beliefs because of fear of death, and murder and arson are feared of death. It can only seem ridiculous and sad-if there is such a value. If you die, you die, like a leaf falling to the ground, and a drop of water flows into the sea. If you don't have to find meaning, it is the law of nature.
I think so anyway. So, I don't struggle anymore, let others quarrel, let others vote. I do not participate in destruction and carnage.

Then talk about the ending. I think this ending is very good, it is a definite result, but also left suspense for the unpredictable future. But according to my personal preference, I want to change the ending: in the
end there are only 3 people left, a man, a pregnant woman and a little girl.
Men sacrificed voluntarily, leaving pregnant women and girls.
The little girl also chose to sacrifice herself. Only pregnant women were left.
In the end, the red circle on the floor disappeared, and the black ball in the middle of the room was shining with red flames. Then the flame disappeared, and the room fell silent. The last electric noise was left in the darkness.
