The equality of all beings is the idea of Buddhism. I like to understand it like this: every life that exists on the earth is equal, because its existence is already a miracle. Don't pretend to be a higher creature, your existence is like an ant to nature, it is indistinguishable. A light rain can destroy an ant nest, just like an earthquake destroys a home. Humans have no pressure when eating meat and fish, and they are commonplace in killing chickens and cows. As soon as they change their roles and see their own kind become the one to be slaughtered by others, they will panic and yell at terror. Isn't it ridiculous?
In the movie, this idea is best reflected when the chainsaw massacre kills for the first time, it is clean and smooth. It is like an experienced butcher slaughtering animals. When he kills Kurt, the other party does not die immediately. The ground kept convulsing, and he immediately made up for a hammer. It was in response to the scene where Franklin had previously described his grandfather slaughtering animals in the car, and then the murderer caught Pam and hooked her, needless to say. Know that it is the most common in slaughterhouse.
The director puts humans at the other end of the food chain. Therefore, murderers wearing human skin masks can actually be alienated into another kind of creature. For example, human beings to cows and sheep are equivalent to murderers to these five. Sao years. The director just wants to use such an extreme technique to give the audience a visual impact. As for whether it can be thought-provoking, it depends on everyone's enlightenment.
I saw a lot of comments saying that the whole movie was boring. From the beginning to the end, I heard the hostess’s screaming. I want to tell you how the animals bark when you kill chickens, sheep, cattle, and dogs. Do you know what sounds like a pig? So this is just a human act. People don't want to call it because of the instinct of animals. In all fairness, the one in the middle of the night has no lights. If the hostess doesn't scream, saves her energy and runs faster, and it is not easy to be found by the murderer, it really kills two birds with one stone.
So the message I got from this movie is that we should treat every life equally and kindly, and we cannot kill arbitrarily just because they are under our control. The reason for the existence of the strong is to protect the weak, not to bully. Weakness, the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility, which is responsibility, not choice.
PS: Do you think that the generator outside the murderer’s house acts like a rattlesnake?
