Don't be the straw that breaks the camel's back

Humans are social animals, and everyone's words and deeds may be intertwined and affect each other. The boss may dismiss the employee because he is not pleasing to the eye, the customer may complain to the clerk for a trivial matter, the lover may hurt the mistress because he is cowardly and irresponsible, the passerby may not help because he suspects that the weak is a liar... Whether intentional or not, we may are hurting another person. The seemingly inconspicuous indifference is likely to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. God says: Remember this, there are thousands of Eva Smiths and John Smiths in this world whose hopes and fears, their suffering, their chances of happiness, are all intertwined with our lives together. Words, deeds, our thoughts. We don't live alone in this world, we all have responsibilities to each other, and if man doesn't learn this, he'll soon be able to teach him only fire, blood, and pain.

    There is nothing wrong with the play as a whole, the steps are compact, the performance and presentation are more delicate and the degree of completion is high.

The audience actually knows what they want to express, but under such a plot arrangement, the scolding and criticism of the capitalist class are on the contrary. Appears to be over-exerted

    All commercial bad films with pure purpose can be given more than 0 points, and a film like "Sin House" must be rated negative. It is not a bad film, it is a stupid film, a harmful film that corrupts the mind of society. The only person with moral responsibility is a scumbag, but on behalf of the playwright, he has shown the most "sense of justice", that is, a potential socialist. Here's the only thing that's particularly true about the story, factually and morally: Socialists are badass.

An Inspector Calls quotes

  • The Inspector: There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives in what we think and say and do. We don't live alone upon this earth. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And if mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will, soon, when he will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.

    Man: Do you believe in God?

    Woman: Yes.

    Man: How can you?

    Woman: I can't believe in people. I have to believe in something, or I'd fall - fall down through the cracks. Never stop falling.
