I highly recommend the movie Dogville, the most iconic drama written about both sides of human nature. I'll tell you more about some of the plot below.
Dogville is heavy and fuzzy to watch, and Grace's name tells us it's a story with redemption in it, though perhaps not redemption in the usual sense of the word. But instead of redemption, it's just about sin, and in this movie, you can see how sin grows and spreads step by step, devouring every hail of pure one. It's hard to watch. Have been looking forward to a bright warm loving ending, but have been disappointed. Every time it gets worse, it's a heavy hit in the heart. The warmth from those innocent smiles and kind words hasn't disappeared yet, so why do people become so sinister in the blink of an eye, as if they want to eat people alive without spitting out bones?
I can't stop thinking about whether it's because Grace's vulnerability and selflessness gave them a taste of their own medicine, and so they got more and more greedy and evil, or whether it's because this kind of evil is rooted in the heart. And whichever explanation it is, it makes me despair.
Grace does not belong to this town, she is slender, weak, beautiful, holy, as if an angel. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a holy gift from heaven to Dogtown. But what can be done? Her kindness can really bring hope to this lifeless town?
At first it does. The first half of the story is as beautiful as we thought it would be, with Grace's selflessness allowing the townspeople to slowly accept her, and life melting cha cha cha cha, I almost thought it was a warm story about pure kindness bringing light to humanity. Grace teaches the children small truths, convince the skeptical old doctor that he himself does not have a terminal illness, accompany the lonely blind old man to talk about some of the no, at the dinner table to secretly hold Tom's hand, and day by day to save up money to buy the seven ceramic dolls on behalf of her love for the town. How loving. How lovey-dovey.
But when did it all start to change? When did the cracks in this beautiful life begin? Was it the day Chuck committed his first crime against Grace?
Overwhelmed by desire, driven by a mixture of hate and thirst, Chuck violates and destroys the untouchable goodness of a person in a savage and tyrannical way. Is he going to achieve the possession of beauty itself through the possession of beautiful people. Does he actually have a yearning and thirst for beauty in his heart. No. He lifted his pants with a look of vengeance, a sense of destruction: ho! Why can you be so perfect and noble? You're just as low as the rest of us, aren't you?
I think of Kim Ki-duk's "Bad Boys," and even though the intention and logic are different, what I see in both films is the tragedy of human nature in the face of nobility and inferiority. It seems that from this incident onwards, there is the revenge of the women who hold grudges, and the abuse of the men who have no scruples. All respect collapsed, and Grace became the slave of all. Or maybe it started the day the police came to town for the second time, slapped a trumped-up charge on Grace and raised the reward for reporting it?
I could feel a hint of eeriness spreading from that wanted notice into everyone's heart, silently. Despite the fact that everyone believed in Grace's innocence, and that no one acknowledged that such a frivolous slur would have any effect on their own attitudes toward the idea, change happened.
Where did this change come from? Was it because people felt that a good deed like taking in homeless Grace suddenly became harboring a wanted man, with heightened risks, so they wanted more of the supposed reward from her? Or was it because the high numbers on the wanted list gave everyone the feeling that they were losing a ton of money for this woman, so they wanted to double down on exploiting her to satisfy that mental imbalance? Whatever it was because of, the townspeople were harsher on Grace and more content to take from the slender woman. This, in turn, is what led to the later intensification and wanton plundering.
It suddenly struck me that it was all predestined from the very beginning. From day one, when Tom suggested that Grace appreciate everyone and make them accept herself by laboring for the town, from that day on, the devil was in everyone's heart and eyes were opened.
Seemingly, the source of all evil is buried in Tom's kind and seemingly quite effective advice. Tom is half-writer, half-philosopher, and acts as half-makuhu-songmaster of this barren town. He undoubtedly has a good heart, and like all pastors he teaches from the bottom of his heart about friendship, acceptance, helping others, and a sincere desire to make the world a better place. He saved Grace and tried hard to get people to take her in and accept her.
His idea is straightforward; Grace can work for everyone to show her gratitude, gain favor and acceptance, and at the same time earn money to support herself, which seems like the best way and the only way for Grace to stay. But he didn't realize that it was this approach that slowly turned what was originally a noble act of kindness into a transaction. It is also because of the implication that "you always get what you pay for" that the original goodness is stifled. When everyone in the town takes it for granted that Grace has to pay in order to stay, it's only natural that they would increase their predatory behavior.
It's amazing how human nature can be so corrupt that it's only one step away from goodness.
If any movie has seen humanity, I think the Korean movie The Flu is one of them. The humanity embodied in this movie is complex, with both good and evil sides.
The heroine of the movie is an infectious disease doctor, who is a single mother with a lovely daughter and the key character of the movie. The hero is a firefighter. The story revolves around them telling the story of their search for antibodies together after a deadly flu outbreak in South Korea. The story begins with a group of Southeast Asian stowaways hiding in a shipping container ready to be smuggled into South Korea. Upon arrival in South Korea, they open the container and find that all of them are dead except for a skinny man who is dying. Because they are carrying the deadly virus swine flu, and the only survivor is because he has antibodies to the virus in his body. The virus then spreads quickly through South Korea and a large number of people are infected and die quickly.
Here are a few points that I think reflect humanity in this movie to share with you.
The first is that after the virus spreads, the government takes measures to quarantine those who are infected, otherwise the virus may spread further. But the heroine, who is a doctor, after knowing that her daughter is infected, tries her best to cover up the fact that her daughter is infected so that she can stay in the healthy population. Here you can see the greatness of a mother's love as a mom who can do anything for her daughter. At the same time, we can also see her selfishness. As a doctor, she knows the danger of concealing the disease, and her daughter could have brought the virus to the surrounding healthy population, making the government's quarantine tactics a waste of time, but she still did it.
Second: The government takes quarantine measures and each person is assigned a corresponding number. When the heroine's daughter is found to be carrying the virus, government agents come looking for someone with her daughter's number, and the heroine tries desperately to escape, while the hero learns of it and takes the initiative to go to the top (at this point, the relationship between the hero and heroine is mediocre, and the hero prefers the heroine's little girl), telling the government agents that the number is his own, and he's taken to the quarantine zone right in front of the heroine. The quarantine area is full of sick people and virus carriers, and going in means death. But the heroine just watched the hero go to the quarantine area for her daughter without any reaction. I was actually very angry when I saw this, I think the heroine is too selfish, of course, some people think it is the greatness of a mother's love, I don't know what you think?
Third: The infected city is quarantined by the government, and the army is used to cut off contact with the outside world, and the people inside are desperately trying to escape. Eventually the crowd gets out of control, breaks through the fence, and is about to cross the final cordon. At this point the government is faced with the choice of letting the crowd through or shooting to stop it. If the crowd breaks through the fence, the virus will spread uncontrollably, with the possible consequence of infecting the whole of South Korea and even Asia. If you shoot to stop it, people will fall in the bloodstream, and among them may be your family and friends. At this point, what exactly is humanity going to choose again?
These are the points I think about human nature in this movie, and I hope that those who are interested can talk more and share your views.
What is human nature, how many people and can accurately understand, and experienced some impressive things, we may be able to appreciate, human nature in the end, is evil, or greed?
The video of the recent killing of a baby fish on the Internet, do you still remember? Of course, killing baby fish is in order to make food, and not for the amount of attention. The guy in the video is called Wang Gang, a food writer who has uploaded similar videos before this.
The first time was the Yongzhou blood duck, and after this video came out, it was a rapid fire. Because duck is a bird that we all eat in our lives, there was no problem happening, and netizens thought it was reasonable.
And to the killing of baby fish, there are rabbits after the video, some people can not watch, think this impact is very bad. Originally living animals, under your knife, a few seconds to immobilize, is it because you see it feel inappropriate?
What we don't see, then, is not that way past. Human nature emerges at this time, on the one hand, it is considered okay, in order to eat the food, we do more than that. On the other hand, it is not in favor, it is simply animal cruelty.
Then when it comes to movies, I think there is one that is very worth watching, which is "No Man's Land" starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo. It is said that there are some very gory scenes in it that were edited out, have you guys seen it?
The scene of the story is centered in Coco Sicily, the impression of that, many people think that there is a place with extremely beautiful scenery, no pollution, no noise, very worthy of driving over, but that is also the most experience of a person's humanity.
In a few hundred kilometers around the unpopulated places, you will be afraid? I once heard that in Qiangtang there, because of a small misunderstanding between a donkey friend is to put another donkey friend to kill, this in our city life is unlikely.
What is the reason? Is it get rid of the law, or human nature broke out. In the "No Man's Land" inside the plot, is also appeared and this similar thing, only it is forced to buy and sell, and there are many people is the boss.
No constraints, only interests. It is because of the hundreds of kilometers of no man's land, only to create such a situation, then you still plan to go, for the road will encounter the danger, you have heart preparation?
We are in the city why there will not be like the movie like the plot, completely there is a thing in the bondage of our brain, if we lose, then the results will become very bad. It is also something that will show us what human nature is really like.
In some other movies, it can also be experienced. For example, "The Last Sunset", "Busan", these, when we are in danger ourselves, there is no more energy to think about other things.
It is also a temporary amnesia for feelings, kindness, love and all these, and will not remember the kind things we did before. So human nature is of the hidden, very scary, no one knows when it will appear. If you want to feel it up close and personal, go through some more catastrophic events, maybe you can understand.
If you really want to explore human nature on a cinematic level, I'd recommend The Seven Deadly Sins. If you have seen the movie, you will be particularly shocked by the final case of jealousy and anger, which is completely unimaginable. The climax of the movie is that John, the criminal, kills the wife of the hero, Mills, thus provoking Mills to kill John to fulfill the last sin: anger. From here, all people are guilty of original sin! So this movie has elevated from a crime movie to a deep exploration of human nature. That's what makes Seven Deadly Sins so powerful in its depiction of human nature.
Asian culture is influenced by Confucianism, which shuns the evil side of human nature, and in order to regulate people's behavior and set a high or even unattainable moral benchmark on the spiritual level of human beings, our kind of culture is more prone to produce hypocrites. While we are still debating whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil, Europe accurately defined the seven original sins of human nature in medieval Catholic doctrine: overeating, greed, sloth, envy, pride, lust, and anger.
How do we control our desires (original sins) in our lives? In a moderate situation, desires can motivate a person to get ahead, and beyond that, they lead to the path of sin.
The problem is that the most important thing is that the people in the world have to be aware of their own desires, and they have to be aware of their own desires. The reason is that we do not have the original sin of human nature to be bound, just to set up a moral benchmark is useless.
In fact, there are many, many movies that reflect human nature. Each movie reflects a different aspect of human nature. There are also those that reflect the ugliness of human nature. There is also a reflection of the goodness of human nature, he has a good side and a bad side. Instead of reflecting human nature, it is closer to reality, close to the truth. The first thing I want to say is that I'm not going to be able to do that.
We recommend several movies that reflect the ugliness and darkness of human nature!
"Sin Under the American Fields"
"The Hunt"
"The Melting Pot"
"Dogville"
"Eden Lake"
"Hello! Mr. Tree"
"Tengu"
"Earthworms"
"Blind Shaft"
"Sohon"
And the most painful thing and saddening thing is these highly rated, reflective of human ugliness and darkness movies. The vast majority of them are based on real events.
Of course there are ugly and dark movies, there are good and bright movies. Here are a few movies that reflect the goodness of human nature
When Happiness Comes Knocking
It's a Beautiful Life
Springtime in the Cowgirl Class
The Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
Happy Endings
Slumdog Millionaire
Driving Miss Daisy
The King's Speech
The Mindhunter
The Beautiful Legend of Sicily
The ugliness of human nature
The political turmoil of World War II
The film adopts a linear narrative, in which the uncomplicated plot lines are laid out in beautifully-toned images and extended slowly with music, giving the film itself a neat, gorgeous and powerful atmosphere.
Jealousy is a powerful, yet gorgeous, aura.
Jealousy, rumors, and the trials and tribulations of a beautiful woman, Marlena, are all part of the story, and in the end, she lives on. If the Koreans were to make a movie like this, they'd probably be able to die eight or ten times over, but they'd have to make it a gimmick with a name like "Scandal". I think Marlena is a respectable woman, she has been strong throughout the movie, from losing her husband to losing her father to losing everything, and the end is quite dramatic, her husband didn't die~~ I want to live, and any hatred can be faded away with time, and since remembering those insults won't help, it's better to do so, and just live.
The movie that touched me most directly about human nature is "A Good Show" directed by Huang Bo.
One, I saw human nature from the helplessness of Huang Bo's character who won the lottery jackpot but was stuck on a deserted island unable to redeem it.
Second, from the primitive society led by Wang Baoqiang to the capitalist society led by Yu Hewei, and finally Huang Bo led by the Pax Romana, all the changes inside, let me see the human nature.
Third, Zhang Yixing's selfishness, threatening Yu and Wei to get accidental property, want to escape from the island with Huang Bo two. Make me see the human nature.
So, human nature is something that people were originally, no matter what step of social development will exist, human nature will not be disappeared, only be hidden.
The movie is so powerful that I can see the human nature in it. In the cruel society, the bottom line principle is gone, in the end become what kind of person?
Excerpted from the wooden fish water heart
There are many people like Zhang Baomin, as sheep, they are slaughtered, were used, but finally even the voice of the way are not, their simple goodness, helped the lawyer, but was betrayed by the lawyer, and even the truth can not be known. While people like Chang Wannian and Xu Wenjie, who had grasped the resources and knowledge, colluded with each other and covered up the sky with one hand, in their eyes there was only refined and unprincipled egoism, and even a little bit of basic conscience was obliterated, and even more horrible was that they were wearing the veneer of svelte. In this way, Zhang Baomin's setting of being able to hear but not speak actually corresponds to his life situation: he can only hear others speak but has no way to express himself; he treats Xu Wenjie with kindness and fairness but does not get a bit in return, and in the end, he can't even find his son. His son was actually shot with an arrow to protect the sheep, but in the eyes of Chang Wannian and Xu Wenjie, they only thought of their own safety and threw the child into a hole, with no thought at all of saving the child, who at that time still had hope of survival. The living condition of this group of people, Bao Min, may be just like those sheep to be slaughtered, they put in great efforts to make ends meet, but no one knows about their suffering. In that final shot, even though Zhang Baomin has a landslide-like burst of sadness inside him, how can he not cry out, always silent. This is exactly their anger and sorrow. When there is such a movie that gives voice to such underdogs, how can the audience not be moved by it?
Ke Shouliang and Wang Jie starred in "War Dragon in the Wild", every time I watched this movie to see Wang Jie played Ajie because and he joined the mercenaries of the Japanese because he could not stand the bullying and insults of his black companions and committed suicide without sympathy for him, and feel the anger inside, to the French officer inhumanity, the French officer to Ajie said "he just can not protect himself. He should be damned". Especially when Black played by Ko Sau Leung teaches Kit how to be a human being, he says, "All in all, being a human being is a lie, the most important thing is to protect yourself, but don't do harm to others. The first thing you need to do is to be able to hold back, and if you do, you'll only be able to let people ride on your head.
In accordance with my viewing experience: the earliest touched by watching the Hollywood movie "Ten Days of Danger", Kathy Bates as a middle-aged nurse can be on their own admiration of the writer of such a painful killer, vividly revealed the darkness of human nature, evil; and then the Cohen Brothers "Ice and Blood Storm", the film a number of people and so on for the sake of money and the interpretation of the black humor, which really proves that the word has long been passed on to the old saying, "I've got a lot of money. Then came the Coen brothers' "Ice Storm", in which all the people in the movie performed black humor for money, which really proved the old saying "people die for money"; then came the "Scorched Earth City" directed by Denis Villeneuve, which was so tragic and absurd that it left people stupefied and speechless; David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins" can be said to be the master of revealing the evil of human nature. Kevin Spacey plays a perverted man through an elaborate seven murder cases, the Catholic doctrine refers to the seven sins of human nature, namely "overeating", "greed", "laziness", "Envy", "Pride", "Lust" and "Anger", which is quite a warning to the world. Of course, there are more movies that show the goodness and beauty of human nature. Let's talk about a movie that I watched recently and was y impressed, Capernaum, in which 12-year-old Zayn lives at the bottom of the social ladder, alone and without any support, and harbors the most miserable resentment in the world: his irresponsible parents shouldn't have given birth to him! But it is such an incomparable poor, innocent child, his sister full of care, showing a man should be responsible and righteousness, and the accident entrusted to him, although the toddler, but never born resentment and ill will, in the most miserable world has always held a good heart! As I write this, I am suddenly reminded of another child full of kindness, Ali from Little Shoes, who, along with Zain, is one of a kind!
