I still remember that this movie was shown to us by sociology when we were in college. The wind of thinking brings us not knowledge, but the ability to distinguish right from wrong, which is very impressive. Now two years after graduation, watching it again, I am very impressed. The "evil of mediocrity" is still very touching. After work, he gradually became numb, no longer thinking deeply, focusing on gossip and entertainment. In other words, it is not to give up thinking, but to give up thinking deeply. For things in real life, a little judgment is in line with the world and then come to a conclusion. I hate this kind of myself; if I have power, I am afraid that I will also become "an age-restricted vegetable market". "Selling vegetables" decision makers; be vigilant to yourself, don't give up thinking, learn to distinguish right from wrong, and don't show off knowledge

The abandonment of personal thinking and judgment is more due to consumerism in the West. In the East, there is not only consumerism, but also the worship of power and the coercion of Big Brother.
