Faced with an innocent woman being violated in public, would you choose to stand up or stay out?
In psychology, there is a concept called the herd effect, also known as the band float effect, which refers to the fact that when an individual is influenced by the group (guided or exerted pressure), he will doubt and change his opinions, judgments, and behaviors in a direction consistent with most people in the group
When everyone around you is looking at you coldly, can you still stand up? Everyone has a dream of being a hero, but most people lack the courage to fight against the evil forces
In 1999, a female driver in Fuhu Mountain District carried 14 people on the winding road, originally this car was driven by her husband, because her husband was ill, she came to the top shift, on this day she carried three of the 14 passengers, when passing through a more remote area, the three gangsters began to use their hands and feet on the female driver
As a result, most of the passengers on the car saw that none of them stood up to stop this situation, the female driver was raped miserably, and the ending after that was even more lamentable, if the 11 passengers worked together to stop it, I believe it would be a different ending
Today, Ya Ya recommended a short film based on this true event, "Car Forty-Four", which was shortlisted for many awards that year, and set off a wave of public opinion in the society, Douban 8.0, very recommended
Without further ado, the plot begins: a no. 44 bus full of passengers runs on country lanes, flat rides and long rides that make passengers drowsy
But the bus driver does not dare to fall asleep sloppily, after all, the lives of the passengers on the bus are in their own hands, the driver is a woman dressed in bright red, let's call her Xiaohong, she is as warm and warm as the red clothes on her body
There was a young guy standing on the side of the road in front of him, and when he saw the bus passing, he quickly waved his hand, and Xiaohong quickly stopped to beckon the guy to get on the car
The boy had been waiting on the side of the road for more than two hours, and he was very grateful to Xiaohong for letting him come up
Xiao Hong's good face and easy-going personality, the guy and Xiao Hong more nagged a few words, Xiao Hong had a good impression of him and told him to quickly find a place to sit down
The bus continued on the road like this, and after a while, there were two men parked in the middle of the road ahead, one of whom was still holding his stomach and looked as if he was unwell, and Xiaohong immediately stopped and asked with concern what was wrong
However, the two people who got on the car immediately became energetic, and the white-clad gangsters even pulled out knives and threatened the passengers in the car to hand over all the valuable things
There were more than a dozen people in the car and most of them were men, none of them resisted to stop it, one of the passengers refused to hand over their things, the white-clad gangsters immediately ran away, only Xiaohong was afraid that the passengers were in danger and persuaded the gangsters to dissuade them, and also advised the passengers to hand over their money
The passenger was still beaten up by the white-clad gangsters, and this trick made the people in the car obediently hand over their belongings
When he saw that the two gangsters were ready to get off the car after snatching their belongings, the white-clad gangsters stared at Xiaohong's face with a lewd face, and after saying nothing, they dragged Xiaohong under the car, and Xiaohong shouted for help, but the passengers in the car turned a deaf ear and stayed out of the matter
Xiaohong begged the gangsters to spare herself, only to add up her fists and feet, and Xiaohong was dragged to the dry grass on the side of the road
Seeing that Xiaohong was about to be poisoned, the young man said to the passengers in the car: "How can you sit", seeing that he could not mobilize others, he rushed down on his own
However, how the thin boy was the opponent of the gangster, his knee was still cut by a knife, knocked to the ground, the passengers in the car saw such a scene and still no one came down, and the little red roar and cry echoed in their ears
After the two gangsters ran away, Xiaohong staggered to the car, and she looked at the passengers coldly
She cried in the driver's seat for a while, but the spectators who stood by still had no one to comfort her, and Xiaohong glanced at the puppy ornaments on the front of the car, and its little head seemed to help her make the next decision
The guy limped up to Xiaohong and said, "I'm sorry", he was very guilty of not being able to save Xiaohong
Xiaohong drove him out of the car and threw his luggage out of the car, the guy was puzzled, obviously he was the only one who lent a hand to Xiaohong, Xiaohong did not explain, driving the 44 bus roaring away
The young man waited on the side of the road for a kind vehicle to carry himself, the vehicle drove to the front, found that there were many policemen, it turned out that the female driver of the No. 44 bus drove to the cliff with all the passengers, and all the people on the car were killed
Only then did the young man understand the reason why Xiaohong rushed himself out of the car, revealing a smile of unclear meaning
This concludes the film, an 11-minute short film, but the solid story framework and profound revelation of the ugliness of human nature are breathtaking
The whole film is shot in a plain and concise way, the dialogue is simple and simple, there is no cool shooting technique, and even the costume is very unremarkable, but that's it, the film looks so real, as if these things are bloody happening around you, in front of your eyes
First of all, let's talk about the heroine Xiaohong, she is definitely a good person, even if she is afraid of the gangsters, she will still bravely help the passengers speak, and it is precisely because of this speech that she helps the gangsters notice her beauty
Kindness and kindness is a good quality, but there is no precautionary heart to let the bad guys have an opportunity to take advantage of, long-distance drivers in remote areas will look at the passengers on the side of the road, easy not to let people get on the car in the middle, kind Little Red sees that someone needs help without thinking about it, which is a dangerous move in itself
The passengers who are outside the car let Xiaohong see through the ugliness of human nature, if it is a single person in distress, she will not have the expectation of being rescued in her heart, but the number of passengers in the car at that time can suppress the two gangsters so that Xiaohong has the confidence to be rescued, when the passengers choose to look at it coldly, Xiaohong understands that she is in hell, and hates their "spectator" attitude even more
The character of the guy in it is more like us real "mortals", who have the ugliness of human nature and the beauty of human nature
When he saw the beautiful Xiaohong, he would have the heart to talk; when he saw the gangsters robbing the money, he did not stand up to stop it, and chose to accept it with the current; when he saw that the gangsters had a heart to take away Xiaohong, he did not immediately stand up to stop it, after all, no one wanted to be the head bird
But when no one really stood up, his moral bottom line told himself that he had to stand up at this time, so he didn't regret saving Xiaohong from being stabbed; secondly, he had empathy, he was the only person among the passengers who stood up to help Xiaohong, and the only one who said sorry to her
Many people do not understand why the final shot is the guy laughing at the camera, this laugh makes people very uncomfortable and a little creepy feeling, but carefully taste, only to know that this is human nature, even if the guy for justice to stop, but learned that it is because of his own good deeds to pick up a life, he will still be glad that the choice at that time, but also understand the reason why Xiaohong rushed himself
