Human nature is evil. For example, when you were young, you would kill a gecko for the knowledge you learned in biology class, throw rubbish at the door of a neighbor’s house or kick the body of a dead cat as a ball... Before morality, you don't understand that these are evil.
I have always disliked children, disliked faces that smirk regardless of good and evil. Some people say, look, what a pure soul that is. And I said: It's just silly, because he hasn't experienced life yet.
A good sword does not have the sharp edge when it is released, but it still cuts iron like mud after killing thousands of troops. The same is true for people. The innocence created by ignorance is not worthy of praise. Only those who still believe in beauty after hardships can be regarded as truly pure.
And how many people can still pursue the beauty of life after all the hardships and hardships? I don't know, but it must be difficult.
(The following part has spoilers)
"Before You Die in the Way of the Devil", when I saw this topic, I only thought of one word: boredom. A typical ethical boring film is either boring to collapse, or confusing to collapse. In short, collapse is inevitable.
A seemingly happy family has a crisis under the peaceful appearance, just like a terminally ill patient, the calm body has begun to decay inside. The relationship between brothers, father and son, and mother and son suddenly became vulnerable.
Ethan Hawke played the most typical loser in modern society this time. Apart from his performance in bed, he was incompetent to the extreme. His ex-wife’s concern for him was limited to the payment of alimony, and his financial distress was so distressed that even his daughter called him loser. After a man has been stripped of his dignity, what is left besides his desperate efforts?
It's just such a counseling bag, but he just fucked his sister-in-law...
Another actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman. After becoming the actor, his confidence in acting has soared. In front of him, Ethan Hawke was like a little monkey with violent veins, jumping and making noises, without a human appearance, completely concealed by this handsome, big-bellied old man. During the performance when he learned that his wife and younger brother were having an affair, Philip Seymour Hoffman showed his trance and repression crazily as realistic as to the bones. Although I laughed in tears at the time, I couldn’t breathe. Express helplessness.
I believe in the theory of evil nature and I am not desperate for this world. I believe that it can be changed through education and ethics. Speaking of it, I am actually Electra, not a specific real father, but I always hope that I can become a very small girl and get the warmth of a father from my lover. In fact, it reflects the subconscious trust in blood kinship.
In the film, Albert Finney, an old actor who played a loving father in the movie "Big Fish", plays an old and spicy jewelry merchant. When he sees this face, the Electra complex takes effect, and the father will forgive the children who do stupid things. , When the old man shook the eldest son's hand kindly, I thought I had guessed it. However, it is a pity that the ability of the screenwriter is much stronger than I thought. At the end, the impact of the old man sending his son to the west road is quite similar to the effect of "The Mist".
So, it collapsed...
It turns out that what is more terrifying than sexual evil is that there is no trustworthy opportunity. We live in isolation in the world, and hypocritical love makes the surroundings wait for suspicion. When the trust and the ability to be trusted are lost, even the dear ones, when they wake up one night, they can see the bitter and cold ghosts on their faces.
