Kill the government machine

So in the first few minutes of this film, I was confused, and I began to question whether it was a film that made me inexplicably die like David Lynch's "My Heart is Wild", but when I got to the prison scene, I instantly felt more comfortable. Yes, although I can't accept the male lead's expression.

In the first few minutes of criminal wildness, it is indeed easy to arouse the inner turmoil, especially among young people. There is no way, this is human nature. The so-called blind state of Shi Feiyi is blinded by the tendency of will and cannot see the harmony between the individual and the group. . Naturally, there is a legal mechanism to enter. The role of the legal mechanism lies in the expectation of the future, and the mentality of threat is intimidation to ensure a harmonious society. So scientists have come up with another solution. Since the basic point of the law is the result, not the motive, then the motive and the pain are welded together through conditioning to control the evil at the end. In my opinion, this is actually just a replacement mechanism for human introspection, and replacing the introspection mechanism with intense nausea and pain seems to be a macro variable.

But the film does not develop that way, because it mentions that all prisons will be turned into prisons for political prisoners. How to define a political prisoner. In essence, its political claims do not conform to the existing evidence, and of course it is likely to be mixed with other common crimes, but the primary factor that separates itself from other crimes is that it does not harm others for the sake of individual will. So people are divided into macro-perspectives and micro-perspectives. And most people are the latter. But no one can escape individuality, because this is the original attribute of the individual, so politics will naturally be filled with various evils, power, money and so on.

The politicians in the film, aside from the power temptation of being re-elected—insignificant—essentially promote such reforms, precisely because if popularized, the management of society will become very easy—insert the injustice in the film only Violence and sex, what about liars - the masses do not have the ability to do injustice, but the administrators have, through the unequal distribution of power to achieve the rule of a harmonious society.

The most powerful weapon of dystopia is the irrationality of individuality. Utopia always sounds like a castle in the cloud caused by excessive irrationality, but I always feel that utopia is a product of pure rationality. In the process of constantly fighting with one fool after another, I understand this, although I try to speak with reason, but you can't control the other party to discuss the problem with reason and logic as the basis, so it always doesn't matter- —Can't help but remind me of Hitler's description of arguing with the Jews, beautifully translated. In order to achieve utopia, there must be sacrifice, and the word sacrifice does not mean that everyone's sacrifice is equal. So irrationality will jump out and feel betrayed, so the reason why Utopia is a castle in the air is precisely because of the existence of irrationality.

And more importantly, irrationality is more intuitive than rationality, and in the original mechanism, intuition is truth. The so-called rationality is just an intuitive conceptual description. Intuition is geometry, and concepts are just the algebra behind geometry. Algebra can fallacy, but not geometry. Because it has been drawn, it already exists. So the problem is that literary works or film works are themselves pseudo-intuitive stacks of concepts, and the degree of falsehood in movies is even higher. Because the intuition of literary works requires sensory imagination to form, and film is directly instilled into the senses. So after going around in such a big circle, what I want to express is that when irrational empathy is combined with intuitive assistance, a dystopian movie is enough to get a good public opinion.

The irrationality in individuality is simply a potion, and whoever uses it knows.

Squeeze the government machinery, and the days will be worse.

  • Alex: As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time. So now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones and that the oomny ones use, like, inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on and I viddied right at once what to do.

  • Minister: [addressing the audience] But enough of words, actions speak louder than. Action now. Observe all.
