If the revenge has an end

When I watched it in the cinema, I remembered a few approximate time points (may be wrong):

The screen is black for nearly 30 seconds and then the close-up part of the skull surgery

20mins daughter and boy went for a walk and started learning to smoke the first cigarette

40mins son could not get up, symptoms began to appear but no cause was found

60mins boy confessed to his father that one of his wife, son and daughter must die, otherwise all three will die

1h20mins daughter fell to the ground in the middle of choir rehearsal

Son cuts hair to please dad

Daughter crawled away and talked sweetly to father after being recovered

Wife goes to bed to please her husband but is poured cold water

At 1h50mins, the husband asked his wife, son and daughter to go to the living room and tied them up. They sat at three angles, covered their heads with their hats, and shot them in circles. After two false hairs (personally thought they were not false hairs), they shot their son and died.

q. First talk about family relationships (same sex repulsion, opposite sex attract as the basic principle):

The father prefers his daughter, and the extreme approach taken when his son does not want to eat is completely different from when he feeds his daughter fruit.

Mothers love her son's innocence more than her indifferent attitude towards her daughter. When I went to the basement to meet the boy, I held my son, but let his daughter crawl on the ground.

w. Three characters are pleased in different ways:

What to do when the power of life and death is in the hands of others, facing your own relatives, but you cannot be sure whether you are the person closest to you and the person who has the best relationship with you.

As the younger son, his expression is the most straightforward. His father had asked him to cut his hair long ago, but he refused. After that, he crawled to the cabinet and took the scissors to cut his hair and then crawled to tell his father, "Look, I cut my hair (I am a good obedient boy, don't let me die, okay)"

The older daughter still pinned her hopes on the boy. Even if you want to kill me, take my life, and make my legs numb and unable to walk, I still think you have a good impression of me, and you can't bear me to die, right. Let's go together, I can let you go, as long as you restore my ability to walk. Of course, the boy's indifference also made the daughter hysterical and eventually ran away.

Running away from home (climbing), when she was carried back, her body was bruised and bruised. When her father treated her wounds, he kept saying, "Choose me to die, Dad, you gave me life. You are the master of my life. What do you want me to do? Anyway, I just want to say that I love you, because after I die, I can't say it." This trick seems stupid and conspicuous, but the father doesn't say anything, only the mother sits numbly and stares aside.

The mother has not had any symptoms, but knows that she is one of the three. She wants to protect the child but must protect herself, so she gently told her husband at midnight, "I can still regenerate, even if you can’t, we can still do test tubes. (Children can die, but I don’t want to die. I am your most important person. Children can have more, but you are the only one.) It seems that you have changed from suspecting your husband’s betrayal to a wife who gave up your dignity, eager for your husband’s care and beg The husband loves to exchange for his own life. At the end, he even wants to put on his favorite black dress to welcome the last moments, hoping that he can let her live for it.

She said to the boy: Why did he (husband) make me pay the price for his mistake?

e. God who masters life and death

The male protagonist undoubtedly played the role of God in the play, but even if God makes a mistake, he must be punished.

When choosing one of his wives and children to kill, even if there is a preference, this kind of decision is difficult. I even need to go to school to ask the teacher which child is better and more promising.

But the love for her daughter has surpassed that for her son. It is undeniable that men have extraordinary love for the beautiful opposite sex, even for their daughters.

So in the final game of shooting and killing, it seems to be a game of "pointing and shooting", and there is a glimmer of selfishness, as if we have the answer before we start to choose, and our behaviors are silently close to that choice. In the end, there were two rounds of empty guns. In fact, they all passed by with his wife and daughter, and finally hit his son. First, because the son had the most severe symptoms, he had begun to bleed in his eyes, and second, he thought so in my heart.

r. Realistic version of a tooth for a tooth

Don't say anything that feels the same with me. If you want to understand my hatred, you have to suffer the same hurt as me.

My father's life was ruined on the operating table, so no compensation is enough. Only if I also take away the lives of people around you.

This is also the reason why the boy wants the male lead to choose one of the three. Since you don't know which one you will choose, of course, you have to treat all three equally and let you choose.

Why can't you understand it? Just like if I bite off a piece of your meat, you feel hated and angry, then, only if I also lose a piece of meat, your heart will feel better. Even if your wound will not get any better, your heart is balanced.

t. When it comes to balance, there are two paragraphs:

In one period, the daughter had symptoms but the mother had not.

The daughter asked, "Mom, don't you hurt? Are you still conscious in your knees?"

The mother didn't say anything, she slapped her daughter, and her eyes were deeper with disgust.

The other is that the daughter can finally walk a few steps, but the son is not yet.

The son said, "Why can my sister, but I can't?" Then he forcibly got out of bed and fell to the ground.

Why don't you have the same pain as me? This question is not because I care about you, but because, why don't you have to suffer the same pain as me?

This is why most relationships can live and die together, and the breakdown often lies in the fact that I am standing still, but you are able to keep pace.

This is the principle of killing and paying for life. This seems very interesting. It not only reminds me of the fact that a murderer can be forgiven by the victim’s family when he is sentenced.

The answer is no. So what is the use of sentencing? It is nothing more than an explanation to the public, not to the victims.

Retaliation is always more useful than compensation.

If the revenge has an end, it must be the end of mankind and the end of the world.
