Overcome and pursue
Mazie 2022-04-20 09:01:30
The protagonist of the film has been torn between violence and peace. He inadvertently showed violent tendencies from time to time, but he often regretted it when he was rational. In the simulation of the final battle, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself, but also to kill the enemy, which reflects the primitive violence of his heart as an animal. After knowing the truth, he regretted it, and finally decided to continue the race of the former enemy. This is his rationality and pursuit as a human being. Violence is the low-level desire of human beings, while the pursuit of peace is the high-level thinking of human beings. As an animal, basic impulses do not disappear. But it also makes people's advanced pursuit of overcoming basic desires more precious and valuable.
