In the future where the world is divided into 5 factions, erudite, selfless, fearless, honest, and friendly, the people of each faction only have the attributes of that faction, and those with multiple attributes are called divergent ones and will be exterminated. The seemingly orderly and balanced world is in fact anesthesia and suppression of human nature for the sake of better slavery management. All narratives revolve around a central point: people have multiple selves, these selves can only be suppressed and hidden, but indelible, these selves will have their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone’s inner growth will be short board Self-improvement.
First of all, for these five schools, I regard them as several selfs of a person. The suppression of any kind of self will cause people to resist instinctively in their hearts.
The selfless faction represents a self that has no sense of self at all. In the selfless faction family of the first heroine of the film, the rules of avoiding looking in the mirror are all to extremely weaken the sense of self and make the selfless faction center on others, including the selfless people. This kind of unthinking, even blind benevolence, to a large extent ensures the survival rate of the non-sectarian group, and also greatly increases the unstable factors of "this" society (the non-sectarian group used to be the people of various factions, but they were chosen by themselves. Abandoned by the faction and lost social security, it is conceivable that they all have a kind of hatred for the society in their hearts. In this way, if everyone helps, then when such people come to power, there will be two situations:
1. The world is all selfless, a paradise utopia;
2. As long as there are still some people who are selfish, the world will be chaotic.
Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why the erudites want to eliminate the altruistic faction. Reason and logic tell them that the altruistic faction ruling will destroy this "orderly" world. The author also inadvertently raised a very interesting question, surely rational people will not be selfless? Is it like this? hehe~
The erudite school represents a purely rational self who avoids all human confusion in their lives, focusing only on knowledge and logic. I have been thinking, why did the heroine's brother join the erudite school, I can hardly see the clue from the few pictures and dialogues from the beginning till now, it took him about 3 seconds to make a choice, 3 A few seconds ago, the mother smiled confidently, but 3 seconds later, doubts and sadness hung on her face. She found that she had never understood her son... In the eyes of the heroine, my brother is a 100% selfless person who extends his life to others. Helping out is almost his instinct, but he unexpectedly chose the erudite school. As a result, the family has lost a person, and the choice of the heroine undoubtedly increases even more pressure. The heroine's eyes at the moment A little dazed and a little dazed, it seems that something has shaken his heart, that is worry and concern for his parents. The description of the inner drama has ended here, no matter why you choose the erudite school, it all reflects the brother's disapproval of the selfless school. Sometimes he chooses a field not because he is good at it, but because that field can help him better understand everything in the world he is currently in. Maybe this is the reason why he chooses the erudite school, or the rebellion of adolescence? Or is it the inheritance of the Fearless mother? Or as I said before, any kind of self-repression will cause people to resist instinctively in their hearts?
(As an aside, it is easy to switch from a selfless faction to a fearless faction, but it is not so simple to change from a fearless faction to a selfless faction. The heroine's mother has put a shackle on her heart, from her wild and impulsive personality. Turning to self-restraint, does it also show that the mother was extremely fearless for love? Really fearless mother! And the follow-up plot can indeed show that this mother is still fearless, so she is indeed respectable, from beginning to end. Sacrificing life, sacrificing your personality, sacrificing your life, sacrificing and being happy)
Fearless represents a self that seeks freedom, breaks free, and returns to animal nature (animal nature is also a part of human nature). The film uses Fearless as the main story background of the film. I think it has its meaning. It is to show resistance. the best background. The erudite supporting actor and the honest supporting actress are laughing and scolding at the dinner table, and when the heroine speaks to Four, they both dare not speak, yeah, they're not fearless, they're just teenage rebels Wanting to break free from this shackle, so choosing the Fearless became a symbol. Back to the heroine, whether from life or the first test Nikita did, it is not difficult for us to find that the heroine likes to look in the mirror. From a psychological point of view, such a person will have strict requirements on his inner self. It is also not easy to compromise with the outside world. The subsequent choice of factions, disobedience to elimination, and control over the progress of love all confirm this.
Next, let's look at growth. Four has all the symbols of the 5 factions on his back. He is also a person who is looking for himself. There is a passage where he says, "Although I'm still working on 'kind'", you can see it as flirting with the heroine. what is kind? It was forgiveness, and finally facing the father who was about to be left behind, the father who had abused him, the father who made him fear, he still stretched out his hand. At this moment, Four was considered to have completed a period of his growth.
Finally, are there really only a handful of people who are divisive? It seems not necessarily, the mother is selfless and fearless, and many details reflect the wisdom of the erudite school, the father also fearlessly rushed to the enemy in the end, in fact, they just chose to suppress and hide other selves. At the end of the play, Rose, the leader of the erudite school behind the scenes, is not afraid of the heroine's life threat for the sake of her ideal world. It's really ironic. Yes, she is also a dissenter herself, and killing the dissidents is simply a matter of Sheng Yu's mentality is irresistible, and the rulers have such a mentality. So you see everyone is a divisive person, it's just that many people destroy themselves...
Surely rational people will not be selfless? In fact, the answer is that there is a time for reason, a time for dispossession...a time to tear, a time to mend; a time to be silent, a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time to fight, and a time to reconcile...
