Analysis of Human Nature

From the perspective of the live broadcast room, "Terrorist Live" tells the story of a "terrorist" who threatened to demand an apology from the president through an extreme series of explosive means. This is a very realistic and routine subject. On average, at least one terrorist incident occurs every day in the world, but for most people, it just appears on TV, in newspapers, on the Internet, with pictures and texts.” news events", and are not directly related.
And "Terrorism Live" penetrated the news headline of "XXX terrorist attack happened again in XXX organization in XXX region", allowing us to see the more human deep reason behind these terrorist incidents.
This so-called "terrorist" is actually just an ordinary construction site worker. He has worked hard for 30 years but is regarded as a dog by society and is completely ignored by the society. The workers who experienced the accident were injured or killed without any compensation. He didn't really want much, he just wanted to be treated more fairly. And he wants too much, an apology that represents the dignity of a country, and for the stronger party, an apology means surrender. Just imagine, it is still difficult for two people to bow their heads in a fight, let alone a country with many intricate political relations.
At the beginning of the movie, Yin Yinghua may feel ashamed. He thought he would be an anchor who is willing to listen to and maintain justice, but he is just a utilitarian and secular person. But in the end, as the plot deepened, he mistakenly thought that he had brought a bomb, and negotiated and demanded an apology from the president in accordance with Park Lugui's advice. I deeply admire the acumen he showed in the process. In the end, he also became a scapegoat, and finally stood on a unified stand with Park Lugui. No one was willing to believe the truth he understood, and the direction of public opinion was once again controlled by the government. Such a cruel reality is in front of him. In the film, Yin Yinghua's desperation to detonate the bomb is not just a simple ending, but another "terrorist incident" that is oppressed by reality and seeks to vent!
In fact, this is nothing more than a dispute between two parties, but it is obvious that the strength of the two parties is disparate. This innate disparity occurs not only at the bottom of the society, but also in schools, offices, and everywhere. I sympathized with the poor worker in the movie, and felt sorry for Yin Yinghua, who lost his wife, was calculated again, and was unfairly treated, but in the end, I found that such sympathy was meaningless. The selfishness of human nature is hidden in everyone's genes. Some people will have tragedies, it just depends on who happens to them. Knowing that my sympathy was of no use at all, I tried to look at human nature more objectively. Through those superficial disputes and dissatisfaction, to analyze and understand the motivation behind. At least, keep yourself out of harm's way, I thought.

An important reason why this movie makes me feel good is that he mercilessly directly exposes the fact that human nature is ugly and the government guides public opinion, and at the same time, it also naturally reveals the warmth of human nature in many places. (Yin Yinghua's concern for his wife) Human nature is complex but simple.

At the end of the film, it is learned that the real Park Lugui died two years ago. The person who claimed to be Park Lugui is actually his son. The plot setting is not ingenious, but it is more reasonable and makes the escalation of the conflict more dramatic. For a person who has worked for 30 years, he has long been accustomed to silence, not to mention that he has a son and is still attached to the world, how could he really be willing to do everything just to seek justice. That's how most of us live, isn't it? We obviously have a lot of dissatisfaction with this system and society, but in the end, we still feel that this is it and choose to compromise. And his 20-year-old son, after losing everything, choosing such a way is the only way he can get relief. I think this is why the vast majority of revolutions in history were initiated by enthusiastic young people, and the old people just advocated reforms.
