Many details in the movie reflect this. The black partner of the protagonist obviously laughed several times when he first went on a mission. The desire also shows that he is emotional.
For another example, there is a picture of a dear friend (actually a rebel) leading everyone to applaud collectively. People who are really unsympathetic will not applaud at all.
There is also a scene where the protagonist walks into the office building in the crowd. Someone is looking around, and an old lady puts her hand on the handrail of the stairs. There is no doubt that these two people also have feelings.
What the director wanted to express has actually been said through the mouths of the rebel leaders: ordinary people in a country have the right to enjoy joy, sorrow and sorrow, but the ruling class (such as priests) must suppress their emotions and try their best to make rational judgments. At the last moment, the emotional tester shows that the male protagonist has zero emotional fluctuations, which also reflects this very well.
I personally think that Father's original purpose is the same as that of the rebel leader, to make the ruling class take medicine and suppress their emotions, but not to restrict ordinary people, but Father did not expect that there have been emotional people among the priests (that is, the council). Chairman), this system has instead become a tool for careerists to make profits. From this point of view, the so-called leader of the rebel army is afraid of losing power in the political struggle.
