Lost humanity

——Analysis on the "Silent Image" in human nature

In a certain corner of the world, there is such a group. They are the Indonesian Democratic Party. They have suffered from beasts. They have silent faces and silent eyes. There are too many sufferings hidden in those wet eyes. All of this cannot be expressed in words.

The Democratic Party, when the danger comes, the only thing they can rely on is to pray. They know that the god of death is approaching, that any behavior is just useless, and they know that they are innocent, but they don’t know why they are dying...

From the description of the killers, we can understand that they are crazy, indeed crazy! They are no longer essentially different from the beasts. For the killers, the slaughter by the Snake River made them complacent! Live happily in this world without guilt, human blood? lie? Self-deception? Seeking psychological relief by drinking human blood, even thinking that what you have done is glorious and worthy of reward? "We never eat fish in the river. Those fish are grown up eating human corpses." What a horrifying, brutal and inhuman method of killing this sentence... Does the Democratic Party really have no faith? Are they not eager to survive? Should they be killed? It was deception that deprived them of their right to live! They have no counterattack and are at the mercy of others... Isn't their lives worthless? Should it disappear silently from the world?

During the conversation between the killer and his family, the director used a lot of close-up shots to give the male protagonist's silent face. Looking at his moist eyes, people felt the pain like a piercing heart, but that was exactly the answer to the killing. The best response...

proud of something? But who can hear the cry of the Democratic Party? The process of killing people on TV is imitated and restored, and it hurts my heart time and time again. There is a proud smile on my face. The behavior is full of guilt. The action that makes people feel funny is exactly what the director expressed. Ironically.

"He ran into the rice field. Someone wanted to take him away, saying that he was going to the hospital for treatment. I said I wanted to follow it, but I was rejected." The grandmother's words could not help but make people fall into contemplation, the murderer's deceit, The death of her son became the biggest blow in her life... But it was too late, and she could no longer save it.

Sadly, the Indonesian government still feels that the killing was glorious, and even misled the people to say that the Democratic Party is a group of terrible murderers. They did not have a trace of repentance and believed that the actions at the time were correct. Even if the facts are in front of them, they do not follow In essence, to make changes, the Indonesian government will not pity those who have died.

Faced with reality, now we can only pray that the world can be better, no killing, no deceit, just as the original intention of the director, I hope the whole world can see such a forgotten group, let the world know, let the crime Not to be forgotten. Their death is worthwhile! It is to prevent a second such group from appearing in this world!

    The meaning of the film itself can make it stand out. How much courage and perseverance does the protagonist need to go through such a journey. Although this documentary focuses on dialogue, the expressions and silences of the characters in it convey more information!

    Do evil in the name of the country, hide in government machinery to dissolve personal crimes, complacent with the dehumanizing interpretation of humanity, and have no regrets because of the belief in the disciplined "belief". There are individuals who live in daily life. In the massacre, the meaning of "human" was lost, and it was reduced to cold data. I used the hands of "people" to get rid of opposing voices. Such a face and so familiarity; people who face history are fearless and brave, and most people would rather ignore it, "It's all gone." "It's a good excuse, but don't forget that the sins of history will always come back.
