The first time I knew this movie was when I was in college. At that time, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, as if the birds were everywhere, the people around me were so simple and life was so beautiful. So seeing others watching this movie, I think it’s a bit too heavy. Yes, I still believed that human nature is good at that time. Why should I make such a movie?
After graduating from university for many years, I finally saw the cruel nature of this world. I finally realized that society is really complicated and the world is not as pure as I imagined when I was a child. I slowly began to wonder whether there is true fairness in this world. Positions, interests, and strengths are often those that dominate people's words and deeds, and guide people's direction, rather than dreams or beliefs.
Vulnerable groups are oppressed and bullied. There are too many to no longer have. The essence is the same. The only difference is the form and degree of expression, and whether we have chosen to turn a blind eye. I saw the heroine being raped in the film, why didn't I see myself and the shadow of too many ordinary people? Vulnerable groups are oppressed by others, whether it is begging for mercy and pretending to be pitiful, or rising up to resist, it does not work. It seems that they have seen a helping hand and thought that they were born, but they did not expect that the world is as dark as crows. . It's unbearable, which is why I never want to watch "Lake of Eden" again. I really want to thank the black screen when the heroine was abused in the film, just like our sleep after being treated unfairly, allowing me to deceive myself again and again, pretending that everything is fine the next day.
And the second half of the movie is really a transparent and refreshing carnival that only belongs to the group. The seeds of hatred have been planted, and as long as the conditions are right, hatred will thrive, giving the weak to strength, and ultimately allowing the weak to taste the ultimate delicacy of the fruits of revenge. People, in the final analysis, are still very fragile. Sometimes when they are alone, they can't stand a baseball bat most of the time. Some people may criticize this movie for being too bloody and violent, but isn't that blood-redness the best seasoning for the fruit of revenge? Seeing the wonderful place, all the previous suffocation and depression were unreservedly released in the film's various methods of revenge. I only felt that the whole person was shaking and tears lingering in my eyes, very refreshing and hearty.
Of course, violence is not the only solution to the problem, let alone the best solution. When the weak are forced to have no choice but to choose this way, in fact, it is also what each of us does not want to see. In more cases, what we see is just the disadvantaged group suffering from dumb loss, or the end of their own lives to escape all injustices. And at this time, I can't ask them why I can't get revenge like the heroine in the film, why not punish myself and my relatives instead of extinguishing the anger with the other's blood. After all, movies are movies after all, and reality is always reality.
I only hope that the world is better and fairer; I hope that the disadvantaged will not have to swallow their tears, and that the strong must not use their authority; may the brilliance of humanity shine on every corner of the world; may there be no more pain and no hatred in the world; hope that tomorrow will be there better.
