Audiovisual language: Shot scheduling and lighting are impressive.
Script design: Or because of space limitations, the story develops a little hasty. When the reporter appeared, it was found that Pitt was a symbol of the crime of anger, and when he emphasized the image of his wife as a tool person, he had expected how the plot would detonate Pitt's "anger". Or because of space limitations, the portrayed characters serve the plot, and if they are too distinctive, they are too tool-like. In such suspenseful works, the viewer can easily perceive the creator's intention.
As for the deeper meaning of the film beyond technology, it reveals the difference between the philosophy of "I thought" and the philosophy of "should be".
Spacey's killing in the film is unreasonable, but in ethical thinking, it is even reasonable. Philosophy reassesses all value standards, abandons heteronomy and seeks self-discipline. After this reassessment, in terms of personal thinking, it is possible to abandon "morality" or even "law". It is impossible to require individuals to fully conform to social laws with the "self-discipline" caused by their beliefs. And whether this self-discipline will appear to be "extreme" or "perverted" in the universal morality, its development is possible, even very likely; what is even more terrifying is that people who hold beliefs are not passionate "Doing evil" often has an extremely high IQ, and has a deep understanding of the laws of society and the world. Such rational, intelligent, and knowledgeable characters have immeasurable destructive power (whether good or bad) on the established world. Such people, film and television figures such as Hannibal, John Doe, and historical figures such as Hitler.
Philosophy may seek freedom, but it is a more dangerous weapon to the world than guns and steel.
So can this danger be avoided? It's difficult, but I think philosophers need to be cautious, reverent, and always have confidence in breaking through the boundaries of their own thinking, which may reduce their "harm" a little.
Revaluation is not done once and for all. Philosophy should be a state in which "ideas" are the eternal norm, and instead are examined, broken, and reconstructed by reason. Whether it's a horse whose thoughts run in my head, or a horse from which I give birth to a pony and then run in my head, they are all bad horses, lame horses.
Our racecourse should always have a vision for a young, fresh "flesh".
Our prejudices will eventually become clear.
