Everyone is tearing up "Should the director release the film without hesitation", tsk, I think, the director may think that this documentary can reveal the hypocritical regime of North Korea, so that more people can see the country more clearly. The staff who interfered with the shooting were government personnel? Or work in the film industry? Anyway, they are used by the government as a tool and cannot help themselves. This is also the greatest sadness.
To tell the truth, a documentary is to record the facts faithfully, and transmit the information to the audience more precisely after the director's editing adjustment. From this documentary, we can also see how some of the living conditions in Pyongyang are like, how the government hypocritically controls the filming, and finally Xin Mei subconsciously recites the hymn, which reflects the depth of brainwashing. These are useful information recorded by the director. The director only fulfilled his responsibilities by publishing them. He did not take into account the rest. Although he cannot be said to be correct, he is not wrong.
Just like "The Hungry Sultan", the reporter filmed this scene just to fulfill his duty, to say something unpleasant, he is not a saint who loves all beings, it is not his duty to save the girl, save her out of Humanity, there is nothing wrong with not saving. There are right and wrong responsibilities, black and white; humane is not! Humanity is only a choice. So why did he save her? There is no reason, just relying on his conscience, he has done his duty, he has not violated his duty, he is not wrong, even if he has no humanity, he is not wrong. (I shudder to think of this part myself)
For another example, a child accidentally fell into the gorilla's breeding ground. The gorilla did not hurt him and took care of him, so what should others do? Waiting is not the way to do it, send someone down? How do you know that the gorilla won't think the man is a bad guy and attack him and accidentally hurt the child? shoot it? It is very inhumane, but the duty of the zoo, including the police, is to protect the safety of people, not animals. It is very inhumane to shoot animals that do not seem to be aggressive, but for the safety of children, they must be shot, which is a choice that fully complies with their duties , so no one is at fault in this matter, only inhumane.
Besides, this director has also fulfilled his duty of recording the facts. He doesn't care about the fate of Xinmei's family and the staff. To be honest, it is inhumane, but he is not wrong. May I ask what is wrong with him as a director? ? Well, he's inhumane, but he's not wrong. What's really wrong in this film is the government, and the rest are tools, tools that make people feel sad and can't help themselves.
Humanity and responsibilities should always be discussed separately. As long as you perform your due responsibilities, whether or not you have a humanitarian spirit will only affect how others view you. Fundamentally, you have done nothing wrong.
Therefore, the director should release the film, and there is nothing wrong in essence, but he is not very humane. It's just that he's not very human, that's all
