Emotions are lost - what are we left with?

The world view is grand but slightly pale, the country's armed forces are too weak and illogical, and the protagonist is too invincible, a bit fake. But none of these can stop me from liking it. Science fiction, action, etc. are not the highlights. Its real connotation lies in human nature, emotion, and spiritual thinking. The reason why people are human is because we have emotions. If one day we become insensitive and live like a corpse, this is no different from beasts!

The following bullshit

first learned about this movie in 2010, and saw a short film: Gunfighting. At that time, seeing Chris, the handsome guy in black with a pistol in his hand, was so excited, I was as excited as a pervert when he saw a beautiful woman. He was completely shocked: This TM is so handsome... Then I found this movie with excitement.

At the beginning of the movie, the fight was unique. The protagonist made a gorgeous debut, then turned off the lights, fired, and just flashed back and forth to prevent you from watching.

Then there is a long introduction about the world view of this world. To be honest, that part is a bit unbearable, so I will fast-forward to the past. But then I came back and watched it carefully, because without those world views, it would be difficult for you to understand the true connotation of this movie! The director will not add water for no reason. That background introduction actually foreshadowed everything.

Emotion is the source of hatred, jealousy, strife, war, disaster... All evil is the original sin of mankind! The only way to cure the cancer of this world and maintain peace is to destroy emotions! And the protagonist is a priest, the most powerful court eagle dog + forbidden army coach!

The beginning of the film keeps showing us that the government destroys literary and artistic objects: various paintings, books, music records, arrests emotional criminals, and eliminates all factors that can cause human emotional fluctuations, even dogs. People in the whole world are like walking dead, their faces are numb and expressionless. Life is extremely regular, going to work and get off work, no entertainment, nothing, just like a machine.

If we look at it from the perspective of a bystander, we will laugh, really laugh, what nonsense! You can't imagine such a life, is this the life of a human being? Robots are just like that!

In a world without emotion, what do we need to face?
There is no family affection, the family reports and supervises each other! (Cultural Revolution?)
There is no love, and it is helpless to see his wife being taken away!
No camaraderie, even shooting his own partner!
Without humanity, without emotion, humans are no different from animals! ! !

I also recommended many people to watch this movie, and even let it pass once in the class, but it was closed after more than 20 minutes. Most people said they couldn't understand it, and even after seeing the dark style of the film and the slightly long background introduction, they couldn't stand it anymore. Some people said that the protagonist was too defiant, too fake, and then said that the background was too nonsense!

I am helpless! When did our level of appreciation get so low? Is this movie difficult to understand if you watch it carefully? Nothing more than the word around the emotion!

More and more people like to watch things that are entertaining, and they no longer like to watch deep-level things, and their minds will become more and more difficult to use, and what others say is what they say. I actually like to watch those vulgar, courtly, incestuous movies, movies that have no meaning, I don't understand, I really don't understand.

I can't understand it because I don't have a sense of substitution, and I didn't watch it seriously. If you want to understand the inside of a movie, you must substitute yourself into the movie, understand from the background of the movie, and accept those in the movie. concept, and then treat yourself as a character in the movie, so that it is not difficult to understand a movie.

Many people say that the protagonist is against the sky. In fact, it is not very fake if you think about it. The protagonist is the number one executioner in this country, and then he is also the chief instructor (teaching those warriors gunfighting skills), then his force should be NO.1 If it exists, then solving those little shrimps is not very bad.

In the end,

feelings are as important as breathing, no feeling, no love, no anger, no sadness, the breath is just a swinging clock!
