The director's imagination of this movie is really worrying.
He wanted to show pure evil, but he showed evil as something from the sky, using the fall of a spaceship as the arrival of evil, so this evil became a superman-like being. What Superman implements is salvation, so what this devil boy implements is destruction and killing. During the ten years he lived in the world, he was not affected by human nature at all, but he started his actions like a machine waiting for a mission of destruction to come to the world. But what is the purpose of these destructions and killings? The director did not explain it to us, and it is estimated that he did not think clearly at all. The murmurs that kept appearing in Mo Tong's mind: take... take... take... the world! take the world!...take the world! But what the world is, this director doesn't know at all, and it is very likely that he can't figure it out. His knowledge level and thinking ability are still at the level of graduating from elementary school.
If the world is a no-man's land, it is a lonely planet. A lonely planet is nothing but a lifeless state of matter and energy, and all changes are meaningless. In the absence of an observer, the coherence or consistency of this state of matter is a question. It certainly can't be called the world. The world is first of all the world known to man, and man endows these material states with meaning as a whole, that is, many people and other beings constitute each other's meaning. The world is such a totality of meaning.
Through the actions of the magic boy, the director believes that taking the world is an unplanned, irrational and indiscriminate killing, which is a stupid view. If there is no omniscient or almost omniscient perspective and knowledge, you will not know the results of any action you are currently doing, and you will not be able to control the future. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to take over the world in this way. Taking ten thousand steps back, this devil boy is indestructible forever and has eternal life, so he may indeed be able to kill all human beings. But at the same time as human beings die, the world ends, and there is only one devil left on earth. At this time, he can't even see the other that is different from himself, and he can't even confirm his own identity, talking about taking over the world. To seize the world, you must first ensure that there are many people in this world, and all of them have become their own puppets, and they can control everything by themselves. Therefore, the crazy killing and revenge shown by this demon boy, the irrational display and venting of his own evil, he will only be attacked by all human beings soon. What he has done is farther and farther away from taking the world.
If the director has some necessary knowledge of the humanities and social sciences and can read the works of Marx and his party, he should have a better understanding of how the task of taking the world should be carried out. Because there is no need to make up a pure evil from the sky, the devil is already walking around the world. To seize the world is to inspire human egocentrism with one's own set of theories, such as dividing human beings into different classes, making them resent and fight each other, and thinking that nothing can be beyond this category of class struggle. After all, "fighting with the sky, the joy is endless; fighting with the earth, the joy is endless; fighting with people, the joy is endless!"
This is called taking over the world.
