watched the movie starring Ruan Jingtian - "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week".
My friend asked, "Why aren't cultists afraid of death?" ”
The movie is about "Chen Guilin", a wanted criminal with advanced lung cancer, who suddenly repents and decides to kill the other two most wanted criminals before turning himself in to eliminate harm to society.
His story is similar to the historical allusion "Eliminate the Three Evils Everywhere".
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a young man named Zhou, who was so bad that he always bullied people; The masses called him, along with the tigers and poisonous snakes that plagued the people at that time, the "three evils". Later, Zhou suddenly repented, went up the mountain to kill tigers, went into the water to kill snakes, and reformed himself, and eliminated all three evils.
That's how the movie got its name.
The first of the two wanted criminals killed by Chen Guilin is relatively ordinary, drug trafficking, killing police, PUA and SM stepdaughters, ......Chen Guilin inquired about his whereabouts, monitored him for a day, found out the rules, and then killed him.
The second wanted criminal is a bit interesting, named Lin Luhe, after the crime of this goods, he was reduced from a pig's head to a skinny dog; Then they started a cult, drugged new believers, made people vomit black water, fooled people that there were unclean things in their bodies, and had to give up their belongings to atone for their sins and save their lives.
At first, Chen Guilin couldn't recognize Lin Luhe (** effect is remarkable, if the two of them are judged), and he was fooled into becoming a disciple and handed over his property. , and later saw his colleagues doing evil, only to find out the truth, and then shot Lin Luhe at a rally.
It stands to reason that if someone is killed, others should flee in a hurry, but no, the believers continue to meditate and sing.
made Chen Guilin very puzzled, so he gave a minute to the people present, and those who didn't leave after a minute were killed.
As a result, only a small number of people left, and most people regarded death as home.
Chen Guilin shot one at a time - only the sound of gunshots, no screams, and he was not afraid of death.
This is the question at the beginning: "Why aren't cultists afraid of death?" ”
Robert Cialdini answers this question in his book Influence.
There's an apocalyptic religion.
The leader said that he had received a message from God, saying, "In a few days there will be a great flood, and then all will die; And before the catastrophe strikes, astronauts will descend from the sky and send the followers to a safe planet with flying saucers."
Therefore, the disciples gave up everything and went to another planet, and they didn't need anything from this planet, and they didn't even hesitate to turn against their relatives and friends, and they were going to leave anyway, it didn't matter.
Finally, the date for the flood has arrived.
There were no flying saucers and no floods.
The congregants realized that they had been deceived and began to cry.
At this time, the leader received a message from God, saying, "The devotional meditation of the believers moved God, so God decided to save the world and eliminate the disaster."
The believers were so happy that they frantically spread the news of "God saves the world" to the outside world.
These people actually know that they have been deceived by the sect leader, but they have no turning back, they have given up everything, the money is gone, the relatives and friends are gone, and now there is no choice but to continue to believe.
So, why aren't cultists afraid of death?
Because they know that they are sinful and cannot go back, they can only continue to pretend and die.
This kind of psychology also explains "why some women don't leave domestic violence men?" ”。
At the beginning, he was deceived by a domestic violence man, and in order to be with each other, he turned against his family, and everything was put into it; Later, I found out that the other party would beat people, thinking that I had invested so much before, I would fight once, and I hope he can change it in the future.
Who would have thought, the more you fight, the more ruthless it gets, and when you wake up, it's already too late, you've been beaten so much, every time it's a cost, the more you invest, the more you can't escape, so many times you have endured it, it's not bad this time, it's not bad for this ......
