not a post-apocalyptic society

If you insist on what it will be like in a post-apocalyptic society, how it will be rebuilt, and with the heroism that emerges from despair. All seem shallow and straightforward. Put aside these, you will see a blind man with light in his heart, with faith, and persistently accomplishing the most meaningful things in life. Regardless of whether this matter is directed by God or insisted on by himself, the only thing that will never change is faith.
In a real society where nothing is lacking and material is extremely developed, is it possible to imagine what the world will look like in the not-too-distant future when material is extremely scarce and people cannibalize people? Maybe you can say that it is unfounded, but it is undeniable that behind the extreme development, what kind of lack is. People no longer look at the problem peacefully, everything is directed to the purpose, for the purpose, the original belief is abandoned. You may say, what is faith, and whoever got me is faith. Nor am I preaching what is true, good, and beautiful. As long as you want to dig, you will know that the so-called truth, goodness, and beauty are the foundations that guide the balanced and sustainable development of the world. If you don’t want to eat people and live a barbaric life with extreme material scarcity, you can think of the power to persist in goodness. belief.
Avery said, "Just to...Do for others more than you do for yourself." The belief of goodness is to tell people to stop caring about their immediate interests and take a long-term view. All substances in nature have There is an inevitable connection, and the whole body is affected. Small damage can be repaired, but large damage is difficult to repair. Balancing this interest relationship, or the relationship between all substances in nature, depends not only on means, but also on technology and the power of the mind.
Maybe after watching the film, you will feel a little hopeless, and you will feel that human beings are actually like that, not like some scholars say that human nature is inherently good, but human nature is inherently evil. Yes, without human guidance, do you believe that man could have evolved into what it is now? No matter who guides us, it is undeniable that knowledge or the guidance to promote human growth is something that a civilized society must have. Because it has the container of higher organisms, it must be equipped with matching energy. Ruined the container, no matter how you trample on your own container, and trample on this living environment, what ultimately bears is still human beings.

    72/100. After reading it, I found out, wow, it turns out that Denzel Washington's acting is so awesome. The pretending director + soy sauce's Gary Oldman, deduct one star. ps, when I put on the sunglasses at the end, Mila Kunis has a charming charm of Julie.
