We've all gently locked the door

Maybe this text doesn't have much to do with the movie itself, but I wanted to write it.

Each of us has privacy or secrets that cannot be seen. For example, if we share a room with friends and watch porn, we will lock the door gently, this is to avoid the embarrassment of being caught, but the thing itself is a bit evil None, although this would make normal people in "society" feel a little ashamed. The development of the incident will have two endings. One is that after you finish watching the film and open the door, your roommate has no idea what happened, everything is as usual, and there is no trace at all; the other is that your roommate suddenly knocks on the door, You panic, close the movie, open the door, and explain embarrassingly, if your roommate is a sensitive person, you will think too much, what the hell did you do?

There is only one truth, but lies bring people all kinds of emotions, and some even deviate too far from the truth.

After watching the movie, I thought and thought about what the theme of human nature he wanted to reveal, but he was ashamed to reveal. Do you want to sympathize with the lack of human nature from the perspective of limited life, or to praise Coffey, because he has the most primitive heart of kindness that human beings should have, and as for superpower gimmicks, of course, it is not the point. The film uses a lot of extreme expressive materials and techniques, such as the death penalty, superpowers, killing two little girls, Dale's excruciating death, Percy's distortion of human nature... All kinds of things that are too extreme come together, people who can accept I will still be moved. Those who don’t like it will not find resonance. There are very few places in the film that really touched me, because I didn’t follow the idea of ​​the film.

Coffey said to Paul with wide, tearful eyes, "He used their love for each other to kill them." I was a little bit taken aback. I don't deny that this entry point is a good one, but it's also one of the most fatal flaws in the film's presentation. In fact, the two little girls had the most extreme fear at that time. Of course they loved each other. The tragedy at that moment was the magnifying point of the extreme darkness of the murderer's nature, but the director deliberately wanted to magnify their love for each other in order to win a kind of let the audience. Produces the film effect of incomparable sympathy and sympathy that evil kills kindness. This technique is most obvious in three places in the film, and the other two are when Dale and Coffey are executed, which can also be regarded as the climax of the film. Percy's revenge let Dale's death torture everyone on the scene and us watching the film, this is to let people know how terrible and how hateful the twisted human nature is, the real person who should be electrocuted is Percy, and Dale If the director of the once committed heinous crime is slightly modified, it is estimated that people with human nature will curse and accuse him, wishing to electrocute him several times, but when people only see one side, they tend to discuss the matter. At the end of the film, when Coffey was executed, all the unforgivable and painful jailers who vowed to kill the relatives of his victims knew the truth but were still powerless. The director once again magnified the evil and made the kind Expounded as if the last remaining breath had also been stifled.

The reason why I left the previous paragraph is because if what Coffey did was not discovered by people, then maybe he was still quietly doing the good deeds of angels, and there would not be so many people in the end. It was also an embarrassing scene. People show creepy paranoia and extremes when they are swayed by a certain consciousness of their own. Perhaps, just like how many people feel when they read my article, I may have been influenced by some of my cognitions, and I have had so many ideas that are different from many people and cannot be accepted.

Ignore the truth itself, let's talk about right and wrong, and maybe we'll be horrible too, like the last of those angry relatives who don't know that all their emotions come from a false truth. In the end is the phase from the heart or the heart from each other. On the bus radio, I heard that Buffett holds stocks worth tens of billions of dollars in total. Money is something that many people chase after all their lives. It allows us to buy villas, cars, beautiful clothes, and more. needs, such as the spiritual enjoyment that must be based on money and material foundations, such as traveling around the world. However, these Buffett can already do it, then he will devote himself to more public welfare undertakings, or strive to do more front-end things in many human causes. Ordinary people can only endlessly earn extremely limited money to meet their material needs. When we delve into the specific meaning that these substances themselves can bring us, it seems that we will suddenly realize. The big house is comfortable and comfortable to live in. Sleeping under the flyover is not a life for people, but some people live like this. We attribute these meanings to the height of life, then they are equivalent, because to put it simply, they are things that life does not bring, and death does not take away, and everything goes back to zero. Should one really pursue a life experience? This kind of experience is unique, because everyone has a limit, and there is a day of GREEN MILE. We should indeed satisfy all our desires to do things, but these desires must come from the true meaning of your life, that is, The real me in psychology. Maybe it's the time when you know that a big house is a big house, and sleeping on the road is sleeping on the road. You can accept these things calmly.

In fact, the film has always wanted to guide people to understand the meaning of life from the perspective of life. People want to achieve various goals because of various desires. Some extreme people are influenced by the desire to deviate, and human nature is distorted, so they do it. The things that bring shame to their lives are sorry for the "decade or longer period" given by God. This can still be learned from Paul's words at the end of the film.

And I was thinking, do I still need to gently lock the door in the future? Is it because he has enough understanding to disdain the embarrassment of being caught.
