Politics and human nature are inherently contradictory

This is a documentary filmed under the supervision of the North Korean authorities. All footage has been verified and all scenes have been arranged. What's the point of that documentary? Its conflict is that it also records behind-the-scenes footage and how the lines and pictures are designed.

This kind of plot design is also common in us, and it is more thorough. I just laughed and passed it, because this is not something I can change, and I have no intention of falling into that kind of bitter struggle. Only when the heroine Xin Mei recited the preset lines at the end, she cried while talking. When someone reminded her to think of something happy, she said she couldn't think of it, reciting poetry? When she recited the oath of joining the group, I couldn't help but feel a sting in my heart. I felt sorry for this little girl, all the children living in politics, and myself. He also received ideological education since childhood, joined the League and the Party, and also lived in an isolated world, like a frog in a well looking at the sky outside. We still have a chance to see the sky, and even the well is blocked in North Korea.

This is not condescending self-righteous ridicule, some are just the sadness of the same disease. We band together because of hypothetical realities and prey on evolution. Since the birth of Homo sapiens 100,000 years ago with such an imagined reality, ideology has also been born. Not agreeing with cooperation means being out of the group, and cannot complete predation and hunting by one's own strength, but can only be reduced to food for other animals. And what about the hypothetical reality of the state? We must also obey and identify with this consciousness, imperial or republic. With the production and use of tools and the development of science and technology, people live at the top of the natural biological chain. At this time, outliers can survive on their own. But it is not the forces of nature that threaten the lives of the outliers, but the unifying will—that imaginary reality. People are just tools for implementation, tools for cannibalism. Anyone who disobeys and approves will be regarded as a heresy, and in ancient society, physical destruction is usually carried out when dealing with heresy. In short, under the unity of will, no split voice is allowed. From time immemorial to the present, it must have been. It's just that the scope of "heresy" is getting wider and wider, and the way of dealing with "heresy" has become more civilized, but the essence of seeking common ground will not change.

In this way, is there no day when an independent person will come forward? Maybe only the weak will pity themselves! When people are complete and unwilling to follow the mainstream, they can choose to hide in the mountains and forests like Laozi Zhuangzhou, hide in the countryside like Tao Qian, hide in the Buddhist temple like Baoyu, and only those who are free and easy and indifferent to fame and fortune can hide in the red dust. Yu Chaoye?

    The tears of little girl Xin Mei at the end are really distressing. "Don't cry, think of something happy." "I can't think of it." From talking, eating, working, sleeping, and even thinking, expressions and emotions, there are people who are interfering. What is it like? ? Truman finally walked out of that world, what about Xin Mei?
