Human life should not be ignored

I don't want to talk about the evaluation of the film itself, but based on my recent situation, I have been thinking about a question. If it were me, what would I do? Would I choose to kill others and let myself live? When I'm a mother, will I shoot in front of my kids? Make sure you and your kids will survive? Or wait for the police to come? Including some various problems, I watched Gambling Apocalypse at the end, the male protagonist madly kicked his feet on the stage to vent himself, because he hated himself being manipulated by money, and even more hated the people around him being manipulated by money. Watching another movie, the heroine decided to run away with everyone around her, but was mocked by the Virgin Mary, saying that it was enough for the protagonist team to escape together.

I'm outraged for some reason. In recent years, the word Biao has been misused. People no longer approve of one sacrificing one's own interests to save something that seems pointless (like one's own cowardly teammates). When the protagonist kills decisively and does not hesitate to give up people or things that cannot bring him benefits, he will get unanimous applause. And a protagonist who worries too much because of his kindness will not be so pleasing. Even if it is himself who is hurt because of his kindness, some people will say, look, it is himself who is hurt in the end. Is the Virgin useful?

The difference between the Virgin and the Biao is that the Virgin takes the initiative to help others, and the benefit of the loss is also his own. The Virgin Biao asks others to help others, and the loss is the interests of others.

There are many people who say that I'm just verbally saying that I can't do it at that moment, but just like the addict in this film, there's nothing I can do to kill that person in the end. Yes, I can't say what the addict did, because no one knew how he would choose. But at the same time as saying helpless in an indifferent tone, from the bottom of my heart it is indifference to human life. Just like the domestic violence of a male star some time ago, that woman is like this, and it is justifiable to beat her. Finally, I have to add a serious sentence, although hitting someone is wrong. These people seem to follow the rules in their daily lives, but because of their cowardice, they dare not do the right thing, even if they do it thousands of times in their hearts.

I can't help it, and I don't know if I'm right. The difference between humans and animals may be that humans are willing to hurt themselves for others. But I was just angry because I might not kill Adam for myself, but would I kill Adam for my family, should Adam be damned? Family fucking?
