How to evaluate the movie "Killing Life"?

Killing Life is adapted from a novel named Design Death. In fact, this story is more like "design castration". Niu Jianli, the hero played by Bo Huang, is a metaphor of our nation, which means that Bo Huang is actually a rooster, an abstract and spiritual rooster. This abstract rooster is the source of vitality and free personality. How to castrate this abstract rooster? This is the core of China culture.

The story of "Killing Life" takes place in a closed town called Changshou Town, which is a metaphor for closed China. In this country, longevity is one of the ultimate value orientations. Even if you live like a coward, bored and dignified, you should try to live for a long time. The abstract cock that likes to make trouble mentioned above is the mortal enemy of the dream of longevity, so people in Changshou Town want to strangle it reasonably.

Sargam played by Yu Nan is a metaphor of China women's instinct and nature. People in Changshou Town tried to kill this Sargam through a ritual, which is a metaphor to suppress women's instinct and nature with culture. This Sargam was besieged by other women in Changshou Town because of her so-called disobedience to women's morality, which shows that culture can make women hate their instincts and nature, and then they want to look more serious, more moral and more in line with the expectations of a patriarchal society in a way similar to self-castration. Yu Nan's role is set as Sargam, which is a metaphor that China women can't express their desires normally.

Doctor Niu played by Alec Su is a metaphor of authoritarianism, which hates free personality, so authoritarianism designed a culture, a ubiquitous "gaze", and then castrated free personality with the help of the public.

Yam Tat-wah's role is a metaphor of modern scientific rationality, which will continue to be disenchanted, that is, demystified and sanctified. In a sense, all authoritarian societies like to use mystification and sanctification to maintain their smooth operation. In a truly modern society, there is nothing mysterious or sacred. Of course, modern scientific rationality is also a double-edged sword, which may create a post-authoritarian society that seems completely unsolvable, a society in which the masses seem to have free personality and enjoy sexual freedom to the fullest, but in fact they are legally supervised and disciplined by power in secret. Although such a post-authoritarian society also has its horrors, it should be regarded as an improvement compared with the mysterious and sanctified authoritarian society.
