Bloodline doesn't matter here.

On the premise of not watching 1, I went to watch 2, and I even finished watching it with relish, and I still have the interest to write a film review, mainly because some ideas of this film challenge some inertial thinking.
Why Triss's brother would look at her as a test subject and just quietly watch it outside, in my opinion, is indifferent. Later, they had a conversation and found out that Tris's brother's sense of belonging was a faction, and he did not approve of his parents' behavior. This shock got to me. I always thought it was a matter of course to observe the mutual love between parents and children in the movie. However, in this sci-fi film, the advantages of blood ties are suppressed, and the call of faction organizations can even make people ignore the ties of blood ties.
In order to force the heroine to show up, Zhenning chose to let her face the moral pressure of killing the people around her every day. Everyone knew that Zhenning was planning a conspiracy, but some people stood up and said why we didn’t hand over Cui Silk, and then everyone thinks about how to resist Zhenning? The logic here is that as long as Tracy is handed over, many innocent lives can be exchanged, and it is reasonable to exchange one for many. As for justice, we want it too. Think long term. This reminds me of the multiple-choice question in the first episode of Michael Sandel's open class about sacrificing one person to save five people or sacrificing five to save one person. Perhaps many of you chose to sacrifice a person in that multiple-choice question. But I don't know if seeing similar multiple-choice questions in the movie will make people choose to exchange less for more without hesitation.
The heroine herself is also a very righteous person, and can't stand everyone dying for her, so in order to avoid the embarrassment of her boyfriend, she faces it alone. This is in line with everyone's expectations, but I always feel a little disappointed. It feels like, you see her doing it and it makes sense and it doesn't feel fair to her.
In the end, I want to say that the test of the friendly faction faced by the heroine is very interesting, a bit like Brad Pitt in "Seven Deadly Sins" facing the difficulty of choosing who killed his wife. To inspire fear, anger, and remorse in human nature, words are enough. For the first time, the heroine did not control herself. (Perhaps also to confuse Jenny) The second time, Tris's enemy is herself, and no one cares about you. This sentence is really frustrating. Sometimes people's anger and world-weariness for no reason may just be because no one in this world sees your value and respects your existence.
Therefore, we still have to find a sense of existence, which is an eternal topic.
