It has twists and turns that make it difficult for people to figure out the truth; it also has public power that is fucked and plausible, but the two sides of the game are at least "evenly matched" and are equal in court; the important thing is that it has a criminal under the law, Bright tail of the police chief stepping down.
Heaven and earth conscience, the only thing that can match the stories of Chinese petitioners and the plot of the movie is that they have all been "mentally ill".
About mental illness.
There is a mental patient who believes he is a grain of rice. The doctor tried hard to cure him and made him believe that he was a human being, not rice, but he came back immediately after being discharged from the hospital, saying that there was a chicken at the door, and he was afraid that he would be eaten by the chicken. The doctor said but you know you are human, not rice! He said: "I know, but does the chicken know?"
Of course, the mental illness in the movie has nothing to do with mental illness itself, it is just a prison for all dissidents who are against public power.
The joke has nothing to do with psychosis itself, it's just a metaphor. Metaphors about faith.
Whenever I hear a cynic brag that he doesn't believe in anything, I always want to tell him the joke and ask him: OK, but where's that chicken that believes for you?
On Faith and Religion
Those who favor the role of religion always quote Dostoevsky: "If there is no God, anything can be done."
This "if", at least in the film, does not hold.
The man who murdered more than 20 children was convinced that as long as he repented to the priest, he could be forgiven by God. At the last moment of hanging on the gallows, he wanted the priest to confirm, and the priest nodded slightly, which he understood with satisfaction.
If the cowardly humanity of the prisoner is not revealed at the moment closest to death, I can almost say the last paragraph: if there is a God, anything can be done, provided that there is a prayer to it. "Let Dostoyevsky beat himself up.
About the world
Although this world is not worthy of a dog in many cases, each of us is a part of this world. Everyone at least has to take responsibility for their own world. If you are a pig, don't mind anything, just roll around happily in this filthy world.
