The devil is us

All right, for a few hours after watching the film, Melanie’s cute smile with "pleasure" kept in my mind, so that I opened the window with the roaring cold of the night, staring at the lacquered curtain for a long time. Not feeling cold. The birth of this new concept is as stunning as the fireworks in the night, and even slightly moving.

As Melanie said at the end of the film, "Then why should it be us who die for you". For the first time, zombies and humans are placed on the same life value standpoint. Humans kill zombies for survival. Why can't zombies kill humans for survival? Human beings occupy this planet, put everything they own above all creatures, recklessly, continue to destroy, continue to consume, from this level, our evil is far greater than zombies. This evil is born from our greed and ignorance. The devil is us.

We are afraid of the devil, but indulge ourselves.

The thought given to me in this film is, in this vast universe, what position should we humans take to treat all creatures other than us? What is our real place in the universe? The value and meaning of our existence on this planet is to completely protect ourselves? Or everything on the planet?

When will human beings establish a cosmic belief? What kind of belief should that be?

Should we let go of our arrogance and indifference? Should we look up instead of looking down? Should we humbly ask the entire natural world, the entire universe, and learn everything? Do we have this ability?

Is it necessary to learn how to co-exist and prosper with this planet, this universe, and all living spirits more fairly? Or do you want to "take arrogantly" without disregarding it?

Maybe one day, we will be replaced by another kind of life. At that time, we will "take the blame", or just the law of the universe?

At this moment, we have no answer. But as a god-given choice, we seem to need to think more about getting along with everything around us!
