About the ending

The most interesting thing about this film is that it is not only the plot, but also a human experiment outside the play. The audience's attitude towards the ending and the fate of the characters in the play is also a very interesting phenomenon.

This film reminds me of the proposition of a debate show in the past. If you have to choose, are you willing to bomb a boat with a hundred people or a boat with one person. At that time, the debate talked a lot about morality and moral kidnapping, and the value of life and whether it can quantify the value of life.

In the end they dropped the debate.

As for "scheming men", I don't want to evaluate whether it is "reasonable", but I have to admit that, excluding "morality", those so-called "scheming men/women" are the best among human beings in terms of intelligence and emotional intelligence. , they survived enough, you may think that it is not "beautiful" enough, you may feel that it is against "morality", but is this also another level of "natural selection"?

So, directors, you see, the reason and the problem are here, we all understand, but you have put human nature in an extreme environment and tore it to us so many times, what are you trying to explain?

However, compared to this, I am still more concerned about whether to work overtime on weekends, Keke.
