Human nature is inherently dark

Just finished watching the freak house, the aunt who looks most like the murderer is a good person, and the youngest and brightest 12-year-old girl is the murderer! Because my grandfather thought she was not beautiful and should not dance ballet, but she regretted that her beautiful sister didn't learn ballet, which made her angry, so she poisoned him on his birthday. People, no matter how old they are, feel that they are unique beings, smarter than others, and do not allow others to be more beautiful than themselves, let alone say that they are not as beautiful as someone else! It is casually said that the crisis is lurking; as for killing the nanny, it is because the nanny found clues... At a young age, it is not for money, not for feelings, and without the realistic thoughts of adults, but there is the original sin of being a human being. Yes, original sin.

  • Josephine: I hate stupid people. They're useless, apart from dying during wars like Grandpapa used to say.

    Newsreel Announcer: Death of a legend. It is with sorrow that the country learned this week of the death of Aristide Leonides. Born in 1871, he arrived from Greece, aged 23, without a penny in his pocket, and opened his first restaurant that same year. The first hotel was ready for business not long after. His first wife, Lady Marcia de Haviland, died young. But Mr. Leonides wasn't alone at the end. He is survived by his young and lovely American widow, Brenda. Here is Mr. Leonides with his eldest granddaughter, Sophia. Friend or foe, no one could dispute Aristide Leonides was a colossus of his time.
