The island is full of dumb grasses

The reason for Jin Funan's tragedy seems to be Haewon's indifference and timidity from the film's perspective, but the root lies in the pathological order of rule on the island. As a small closed society, Wudao’s social structure is extremely simple. As the ruler of the Wanzong Tiezong brothers (actually speaking, Tiezong basically does not have the ability to rule, he is just a vassal of Wanzong. The society on the island is actually It is Wanzong’s one-man rule), and five adult women and one little girl from the ruled class. (There is still an old man on the island, but the old man’s sociality has disappeared, he just exists as a living organism, because it is not threatening to any party, so he is the only one who survived the bloody storm on the island). The basis of this ruling model is that the Tiezong brothers are the only two adult men on the island. The strongest power in the world, out of worship and superstition of power, the four elderly women of the ruling class fully agree with this mode of governance. They have said countless times: "This kind of thing still needs men to do it." At this time, men are still needed.” These words show that they fully admit that they are weak, and that the Wanzong brothers have abilities that they cannot match, and thus affirm the legitimacy of men's rule. But the actual situation is not like this. Tie Zong is basically a mentally handicapped person, and Wan Zong does not have much outstanding ability. As far as the matter of replacing the roof of the house with the house, all elderly women think that there is no Wan Zong that cannot be completed. The biggest contribution is actually that they all look down on Funan, the ruled man who thinks the most powerless. But once the superstition of the power of the ruler is formed, the ruled will ignore the truth and willingly accept the position of the weak. The relationship between the four elderly women and Funan is the most interesting in this ruling model. It is said that as the ruled, both parties should have some kind of sympathy for the same disease. But in fact, the four elderly women are superstitious about the rule of men and are in the ruling order. The status is slightly higher than Funan, so instead of helping Funan, they become accomplices of the system and perpetrators of Funan. This is the most cruel reality that is constantly happening around us. It is clear that we are in a dominated position, living a life without dignity and hope, but as long as there are people who are more vulnerable than ourselves, then these people will Must go to bully the weak again, one is to obtain compensation for his depression, and the other is to nail the weak to a weak position, or else he will fall to the bottom. This is what Lu Xun called "the bullying of the weak against the weak." So they are the same ruled. The four old women are more dedicated than the ruler to maintain this kind of ruling order, and because of their efforts, they are from the ruler. They get either real benefits or a little warm return, so they work harder to be dogs that maintain this pathological order. Because of these dogs, it is very simple to maintain the rule as a ruler, one is horror, and the other is ignorance. If you encounter a rebel against the order, such as Funan who wants to escape from the island, he will use terrorism to deal with it, or verbal threats or violence (in the film generally the latter), so the ruled is the least The obedient Funan became the target of punches and kicks, living in a kind of fear all day long. As for the relatively obedient among the ruled, it makes them ignorant. The more ignorant the ruled, the better the order of governance is maintained. Therefore, Yan'er failed to study at the age of ten, and the more ignorant Yan'er, the better he could control. With a bottle of nail polish and a little bit of his father’s warmth, Zong can buy Yan'er and make it his plaything, and also produce a false sense of happiness. Yan'er repeatedly said: "I want to get my father's love." When Funan took her to escape from the island, she still shouted: "I don't want to go, I like life on the island." This all shows that the power of ignorance rule, sometimes surpasses the rule of violent terror. The most symbolic thing in the film is the so-called "stupid grass." The more the stupid grass eats people, the more stupid it is. Most of the residents on the island are willing to eat tangible or intangible stupid grass. As a person, they are willing to continue to degenerate and become stupid and slow, and lose their freedom to live on this morbidly depressed island. Sadly, here On the island, only the old man who has lost his humanity by eating stupid grass can survive. If a person is willing to give up his personality and be a stone, then he can eat stupid grass unscrupulously. You can live in this morbid society, but if you are not comfortable with being a slave and oppressed, please get rid of it. The erosion of the dumb grass, don't learn from Haewon's indifference and indifferent mentality, but actively challenge the pathological rule and burn all the dumb grass on this island.

    What kills women is ignorance and sexism, and the violence in the first half makes the subsequent killings have justice and beauty! As the old saying goes, if a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, if a person is in a hurry, he will kill! ★★★☆
