collectivism:
In the film, in a surreal space, five men with almost the same appearance (looks similar to Voldemort, I will call it that) are at the center of a boxy board with only a fulcrum below it. will disrupt the balance. They walked to the four directions tacitly, trying their best to keep their balance, and then pulled out their fishing rods to fish. At this time, they were loyal supporters of collectivism. Each of them is subordinate to this group and supports the balance of life and death.
However, collectivism is only a means, and the interests of each individual in the collective are his original purpose. Only by giving a certain degree of individual interests and freedom to the collective can it be beneficial to the long-term development of the interests of each individual in the collective. Such a delicate balance needs to be carefully maintained by each individual. Because once the boundaries between individual and collective interests begin to blur, balance will be difficult to maintain. Collectivism inevitably leads to a given state of disillusionment.
individualism:
One of the five "Voldemorts" caught a wooden box, he wanted to explore the secrets inside, and the other four were also curious, so they began to break the balance and let the box slide towards them to satisfy their own desires. Individualism revealed his true colors at this moment. He started from the center of the individual and put his own interests first. They began to fight for the wooden box, as if to hear the music from the wooden box. As for what the wooden box was, it was no longer important at the moment. For them, the exclusive use of this wooden box occupies their minds.
The five "Voldemorts" killed each other in the end, leaving only one person remaining, maintaining the final balance with the wooden box. The modern thinker, British Hobbes, universalized individualism as the eternal and unchanging human nature, and regarded it as an important criterion for morality and judgment of good and evil. In fact, in the face of individualism, right and wrong have been covered with a beautiful white sha, through which all you can see is a blurred solo dance. Be beautiful alone, remember alone, live alone, exist alone in all selfish ways. When the world is empty of people, individualism is just a reflection of nothingness.
"Balance", as its name suggests, is very appropriate. If "collectivism" and "individualism" can achieve an ideal balance, can the world be truly balanced?
