To compromise with reality is to commit suicide.

Some people say that poverty is the biggest disease of this village, but I think that compromising reality is the biggest disease of human beings, and it is also the biggest disease of this village.

Officially, because they all compromised with reality, they killed the old man. Everyone is proud of it. It is precisely because they all compromised with reality that they buried the thief's family and thought that they were in To enforce justice, it is precisely because they have all compromised with reality that they have the bones everywhere.

A person's compromise with reality is a lifelong suffering for a person. When a group of people compromises with reality, this era is darkened. The loss of humanity is doomed that this era cannot be rescued. No matter how many old people you kill for rations? How many baby boys were killed! In the end your era will come to an end.

How I wish to see the protagonist flee with his mother at last, or someone who dares to make a brave oath to challenge and question this system.

Back then, monkeys dared to challenge a world without trees, so after walking down trees, they evolved into Homo sapiens and today's human beings.

Suffering is not terrible, what is terrible is that without the spirit of resistance, you endure suffering silently until death. Difficulty is like a spring, when you are strong it really becomes weak. And when you are weak, he will be extremely strong, until it crushes you.

    8/10. All evil stems from poverty. The relationship between the law and the right to life is told in a tone of primitive desire tension, making the film full of shortcomings caused by the shortage of physiological needs: baby boys discarded at will in the fields, insects on branches are eaten as delicacies. The pregnant daughter-in-law, who was designed to steal blood, was buried alive and vented with a bitch.... The last 30 minutes of the act of sending her to her mother vividly shows the journey to death, in which the neighbor pushes her father down the cliff, which is shocking.

    In order to survive, anything is okay. It is okay to give birth to a child and throw it away to death, to bury the whole family alive, or to carry the old man to death by cold and starve. Blame? This is a remake of a film from the 1950s by Imamura Shohei. I think if this tradition is true, it is not necessarily the original version of Jin Yong's Tiezhangshan.
