Film review "Freaks", will you use superpowers to do things that harm others to complete yourself? The main content of the Canadian science fiction film "Freaks" is about a 7-year-old girl named Chloe hiding with her father in a broken house Here, the father does not allow the girl to go out or contact anyone. It turns out that their family of three have superpowers to control other people's thinking or travel through space, and most ordinary people in the real world rush to kill these superpowers because of fear. Troy's mother was taken away and hid in a secret base in Miao waiting to be executed. The
film develops to the point that Chloe’s eagerness to go out caused his father and himself to get into trouble, and was entangled by his grandfather who wanted to use his superpowers to rescue Chloe’s mother. His grandfather was beaten to death by humans to save Chloe, and his father died to save Chloe. The mother who was rescued by the whole family took Chloe into the air.
looks like a fantasy film, but it is actually a complicated questioning of human nature.
Some people with superpowers who have the ability to manipulate other people’s thoughts or travel through space are called freaks, and thus become the objects of extinction. They are exterminated out of fear. If there are really some people with such superpowers, if you You have the right to vote to determine their life and death or the scope of their activities. How would you vote? Confine them in a protected area? Give them special legal provisions? Or is it extinct?
If you were Chloe, would you use superpowers to pay a huge price to save your family? For example, many people were killed in order to save their mothers, regardless of whether those people were out of duty or simply innocent? If most people give you the opportunity to get along with each other equally, can you guarantee that you will never use superpowers to manipulate other people's thoughts? See what exam questions the teacher asked? Know someone's bank password? Or travel to the room of someone you like in the middle of the night to see his sleeping face?
In life, there are very few people with superpowers in real life after all, so far I have not seen a real superpower.
But we have all seen some unique people, what attitude should we report to them? Think of it as a freak staying away? Laughing like the children of Chloe's neighbors? Or have the courage to accept and tolerate, and at the same time be vigilant about self-protection?
If we ourselves are different in some way, how do we view ourselves? Are we freaks? How to realize our self-esteem, self-confidence, happiness and the meaning of existence? Can we control ourselves not to harm others? When we are hurt, do we directly fight back or try to explain it first? Is it better to fight for reconciliation or to vent your breath?
Chloe yearns for the outside world, desires to make friends and integrate into the real life, that is the basic social needs of human beings. In order to achieve this goal, her father trained her to hide her true self, use proficient lies and deal with external problems, but she still messed up, because a lie is a lie, and a lie cannot glue the cracks between truth and illusion.
If we are different, should we hide our true selves or bloom our own flowers? Even poppies or mandala? Or the kind that the world can't distinguish. This question is just a question, and I cannot give a standard answer, because everyone's trade-offs are different and the answer will be different.
But no matter what the answer is, we must find our own pride and courage, find our own direction, and don't let ourselves live a miserable life in a depressed cage. You don’t need to tell about your privacy, but you don’t have to lie, you just need to be clever and sincere.
If I were Chloe’s mother, I would take her to a place with beautiful scenery for children and children, and meet families with the same frequency to live together in a circle of mutual trust and help, and live a semi-hidden life without harming others , And not hurt by others. I will not be disappointed by the difference between myself and our children. On the contrary, we need to understand and accept who we are, then live according to the rules of this world, and pursue freedom, health, independence and happiness as much as possible.
