這篇影評始于一個問題，由于這個問題，我最終寫下了這篇文字。因為這個問題是英文的，所以我的回答也是英文的，但為了方便閱讀，我最後附上了中文版。以下是這個問題和我的回答：


What do you think of the killer, John Doe? Is he right in certain sense for what he did?

In terms of artistic value,the Se7en of John Doe is a self-consistent and rich performance art.He successfully deconstructs the religious symbols and socially focuses on the ugly truth behind the persona at the level of death.Among them, the form of the work is undoubtedly exaggerated.But it is precisely because of this, full of dramatic treatment to complete its stimulating effect.A metaphor for the obscurity of social order——The ability of people to live in peace stems is from their ignorance and tolerance of the crimes of others,and the indulgence and concealment of one's own faults.Most people may not accumulate such a miscellaneous and deep sin,but it is always difficult to avoid contamination.Everyone is a sinner,because our souls are more or less buried with the bones of sin.The artistic value of the Se7en lies in its role of "painstaking in one’s study",forcing everyone to face the dark side of themselves,others and the whole society.And then there must be thinking. But eventually it's just the masturbation of an art maniac.

In terms of social value,the behavior of John Doe is extremely cruel and destructive,and the strong stimulation to the media and the public is predictable.In the huge swirl of public opinion,how will society respond?Crying, people realize the sins of life?Certainly not, such a strong stimulation will only lead to the ugly "When They Cry(Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)" - like cycle of terror, good people are bullied by evil imagination,Insidious people are inspired by evil imagination.Over time,the Se7en will only become a typical criminal case and strange memories.Liking Jack the Ripper,society does not change even a little.The impression left in people's minds,in addition to meet curiosity and cause social panic,the significance is always tiny.Human nature is lazy,emotional ups and downs will gradually calm down.The most important thing is that human beings are forgotten animals,and the nightmares and disasters that happen to others can only affect a person to what extent?After all,a person's self-restraint still needs lasting,constant education to be able to cultivate.In this sense, the Se7en of John Doe ultimately failed,John Doe ultimately failed,he can only destroy,not create,like Godzilla.The failure of John Doe is also the failure of contemporary art (especially performance art).John Doe exposed some of the life of the most dark and terrible things,but at the same time did not give any solution,just let people awake,Soberly desperate.What the artist did,on the one hand,he bemoan the hard things and the misery of the people.But on the other hand,he seemed to tie up his hands.John Doe is such a mouthful of nonsense,actually do-nothing artist bastard.

John Doe's behavior is ugly and self-satisfied,although his directing and participating in art seems to be a brave and sober Prometheus.But it is still based on narcissism.On the one hand,John Doe misinterprets and transforms God,licking the anus of Allah like "Blue Beard" Gilles de Rais,with the blood of death to imitate the divine glory,with the devil alchemy to imitate truth and virtue.On the other hand,John Doe is rolling in the bed of culture and religion,beautifying himself and playing God.People may be guilty,but what qualifications does John Doe have to exaggerate and punish people?John Doe's behavior is not really to expose people's deep evil,on the contrary,his behavior in the art to complete the image of the whole society exposed,but also in fact can inspire and cultivate the evil in the heart of the whole society.John Doe is not a human god,is the embodiment of Caesar,is the seven deadly sin itself.And the saddest thing is that he never realized his real sin,he died in a shameful satisfaction and weak happiness.Even John Doe’s death is hypocritical and meaningless.



以下是我寫的翻譯：


你覺得兇手John Doe怎麼樣，他的所做所為在某種意義上是對的嗎？

藝術價值上，John Doe的七宗罪是一場自洽、濃郁的行為藝術。他成功地解構了宗教符号，在死亡層面社會性地聚焦了人格面具背後的醜陋真相。其中，作品形式無疑是誇張的。但也正是因為這點，充溢的戲劇性處理才得以完成其刺激作用，刺破社會秩序晦暗的隐喻——人們能夠相安無事地相處，根源上是得益于對他人罪行的無視與隐忍，對自身過錯的放縱與隐瞞。大多數人身上或許并不會集聚如此蕪雜和深重的罪孽，但總是難以避免有所沾染的。人人都是罪人，因為我們的靈魂中都多多少少地埋葬着罪惡的屍骨。七宗罪的藝術價值在于其演繹了“懸梁刺股”的角色，逼迫每一個人去直面自身、他人和整個社會中的陰暗面，然後必然發生思考。但這終究隻是一個藝術瘋子的自慰罷了。

社會價值上，John Doe的行為是極其殘忍和富有毀滅性的，對媒體和公衆的強烈刺激是可以預見的。在巨大的輿論漩渦中，社會又會報以怎樣的回應呢？痛哭流涕，人們大徹大悟人生的罪惡？必然不是的，這般強硬的刺激隻會導向醜惡的“寒蟬鳴泣之時”般的恐怖輪回，善良的人被邪惡想象欺侮，陰險的人被邪惡想象鼓舞。時過境遷，七宗罪隻會成為一個典型的刑事案件和古怪回憶，就像開膛手傑克，社會并不因此而改變哪怕一點。留在人們心中的印象，除了滿足獵奇心理、引發社會恐慌外，意義總是廖廖的。人性是怠惰的，情緒的起伏會逐漸平定。最關鍵的是人類是遺忘的動物，發生在他人身上的噩夢和災禍究竟又不過能影響一個人到什麼地步呢？一個人的涵養終究還是需要持久、恒定的教育才能得以培養。從這個意義上說，John Doe的七宗罪最終依舊是失敗的，John Doe最終還是失敗的，他隻能像哥斯拉那樣破壞而不能創造。John Doe的失敗也是當代藝術（特别是行為藝術）的失敗，他們振聾發聩地呼喊，魯迅般地揭露生活中的一些極黑暗、極恐怖的事，與此同時卻不給出任何解決的辦法，隻是讓人清醒着，清醒地絕望。藝術家所做，一方面悲天憫人，另一方面卻又似乎束起手來，确實是個站着說話不腰疼的混賬了。John Doe便是這樣一個滿嘴呓語，實際上無所作為的藝術家混賬。

John Doe的行為是醜陋的、自我滿足的，雖然他編導和參與藝術的行為似乎顯得他是個勇敢、清醒的普羅米修斯，但其基底上依舊是自戀。一方面，John Doe曲解、改造上帝，像“藍胡子”吉爾斯·德·萊斯那樣舔舐真主的肛門，用死亡的血腥來仿造神聖的光輝，用惡魔煉金術來仿造真理和美德。另一方面，John Doe又在文化和宗教的床上打滾，美化自己，扮演上帝。人們或許有罪，但John Doe又有什麼資格去誇大、懲罰人們？John Doe的行為并非是真的在揭露人們内心深處的罪惡，恰恰相反，他的行為在藝術上完成對社會全體形象揭露的同時，也在實際上可以激發、培育了社會全體内心的邪惡。John Doe不是人間上帝，是凱撒化身，是原罪本身。而最可悲的是，他從不曾意識到自己真正的罪惡，他到死都活在一種可恥的滿足和淡薄的幸福中。 John Doe甚至連死都是虛僞的、無意義的。
