duality of human nature

After watching Hunger Platform, this is a very depressing and heavy film. My biggest feeling is that human nature contains both the great spirit of truth and goodness, and the dark side of extreme cruelty and ugliness. I don't know if both are always hidden in one's soul, it's just the difference between revealed and hidden. But it's really incredible how someone can stay on the bright side in extreme conditions, how they do it, it's amazing. They are the highest spirits of mankind, and in them, it seems that the dark side has nowhere to hide under their light. But some people have a hard time keeping the light, and to varying degrees. I don't understand two things: one is why the brightest and the darkest can exist in people at the same time, even if it is a hidden state, people are really mysterious; the other is why there is such a big difference between people when choosing light and dark The difference, the tolerance is so different, is it just perseverance? Where do the bottom line of human nature and the supreme morality of human nature come from, and why do some people regard it as their belief, while others do it at will?

    [Spoiler alert] At first I thought it was a flustered party, so I took an ice cream and ate it slowly, but it turned out... Well, an "obvious" (Learn from the old man) Zheng Zhi metaphor: under the premise of limited social resources, if the rules ( If there is a problem with physique), then the animal nature of human beings will be stimulated, and the whole society will become a hell on earth. The upper class is reluctant to leave good things to the lower class, and the lower class fantasizes about turning over to be the master every day. So this film has a very interesting setting: the bottom layer and the top layer can be interchanged at any time. This is the deepest and most ironic place in the whole film. The so-called upper class and the bottom of the slums seem to have a huge disparity in their identities, but in fact they are just the same raccoon dog, a group of pitiful animals.
