This is a story that happens every day

First of all, there are spoilers.

This is not a professional film review. I just say what I think after watching the film. You can disagree, but you can't stop me from speaking.

57 minutes and 44 seconds, when the supervisor executed the people one by one with a gun, the girl said: "who the fuck are you to decide who lives and dies?" I was thinking about the answer to this question, because I am actually Agree with the supervisor’s approach: 30 people must die to avoid more deaths. But who decides or on what basis you decide who lives and who dies? Then I came to the conclusion: because he fucking has a gun!

Suddenly I thought of how similar this is to this world. Isn't that certain collectives with real power, resources and guns are controlling people's life and death? They decide who can get a job and who will be unemployed at home, because we can't make everyone succeed, everyone has a house to live in, and everyone can fill their stomachs. Some people must "die" in order for the rest to live. Just like the rules in the movie, if you don’t kill 30 people, more people, including yourself, will die. Then go fuck in order to survive. Morality and humanity.

Think about the college entrance examination a few days ago. Don't everyone think about climbing up on other people's "corpses" and trying to "kill" others and let themselves survive. I think this movie amplifies the dark side of this society.

Finally, I want to clarify that I do not hate this society. It is because there is sunshine that there is darkness. And this so-called dark side is the rule of the world. At least no one can change or violate it. I just want to tell something. People, this world is not as beautiful as you think. Slightly.
