Is human nature good or evil?

After watching the first Resident Evil, it completely subverted my imagination. The filmmakers are so bold in expressing their fears of the catastrophic consequences of technological developments that the camera is as bold as a horror film. I have never seen such a pessimistic movie before. Even the final protagonist of a disaster movie like "The Day After Tomorrow" still wins a temporary victory by virtue of his courage, tenacity and other excellent qualities. A little victory against a painful background is always It can reveal a little bit of belief that the director, screenwriter, etc. still have in the intelligent creatures of human beings. But in this film, the sub-protagonists who seem to have such a story fall one by one, and everyone leaves in an almost brutal way. Every time I see those cruel scenes, I can't bear to close my eyes, and I keep thinking in my heart: It's okay, they won't die, how will the movie go on after they die? However, they still died one by one. In the last shot of the movie, Mila escapes from the damn lab, holding her gun defensively, but: she's the only one left on the deserted street. She, is the so-called-the last person in the world? Is human nature evil or good? A proposition that never has an answer. In fact, when people are evil, they are like the living dead in the hive, their cells are constantly dividing, and their existence is only the desire to feed. The guy who wanted to steal the T virus, at the juncture of memory recovery, he could leave other people behind and focus on taking those evil viruses out of the hive and salvage a fortune from them.
