    2.5. Only in combination with the context of the times can we realize the meaning of the theme of this film. The process of excavating the status of Jewish ethnicity draws out the limitations of various classes' attitudes and their own stereotyped cognition. White people exposed the social status quo from the Jewish perspective, gradually blurring their own identity and acting identity, and the individual spontaneity gradually degenerated under the trend of group aphasia, and was replaced by...

    In the last words of the heroine's mother in the play, there are a few lines that are like this, I suddenly hope that I can live to be very old, and can see the next century, or when the United States and Russia will not have Atomic bomb, all people can live happily together, all free people. . . It's a pity that the ten years of the new century have passed, and the number of countries with atomic bombs has not only not decreased but has continued to...

    The male protagonist is handsome, tall and handsome. Racial discrimination is indeed worth discussing, but this film is unpleasant, the male protagonist is a little paranoid, why is he so cruel to the female protagonist, I just can't bear it, you can be cruel to those people outside, she has always forbeared to change for you, you that's it? ? ? Push your nose on your face. The heroine paid too much. Mom and son are extra points, and Dave is okay, but it feels very stiff, sacrificing everything...

    Although I support Philip's struggle, I also understand that Casey's struggle is limited to speech but not action, because not everyone is a fighter with courage. Just like David. There are also people who have been taught the concept of "Don't conflict with others, don't let others hate you, and conflict with others is an unqualified person". The consciousness of resistance was killed in the cradle. It takes a threat to fight, or more encouragement, more courage. If you want justice, you must...

    The image of Gregory Pike is completely suitable for the image of this sympathetic and upright literati. The injustices encountered by the Jews for eight days have turned into the driving force for his struggle. For the Jews, the world is like an opened lion's cage, and the racism they face has never...

    The social significance is far greater than the artistic value. Discussing anti-Semitism without going deep into the root causes just stays on the display of discrimination. Journalist Parker decided to pretend to be a Jew for eight weeks in order to write an anti-Semitic serial, to experience the hardships of being a Jew with his own personal experience. The setting is quite interesting, but it is very boring to shoot: Parker is first of all a middle-class or even an upper-class figure, and...

Gentleman's Agreement quotes

  • Tommy Green: Pop, are we Jewish? Jimmy Kelley said we were. Our janitor told his janitor.

    Phil Green: Well, what did you tell Jimmy Kelley?

    Tommy Green: I said I'd ask you.

    Phil Green: Well, it's like this. Remember that movie Kathy and I took you to, and you asked if things like that really happened?

    Tommy Green: Kathy said they were pretending.

    Phil Green: Well, I'm pretending I'm Jewish for something I'm writing.

    Tommy Green: You mean like a game?

    Phil Green: Yes, but I'd appreciate it if you promised not to tell anybody it's a game.

    Tommy Green: Okay, Pop, sure.

  • Phil Green: I've been saying I'm Jewish, and it works.

    Dave Goldman: Why, you crazy fool! It's working?

    Phil Green: It works too well. I've been having my nose rubbed in it, and I don't like the smell.

    Dave Goldman: You're not insulated yet, Phil. The impact must be quite a business on you.

    Phil Green: You mean you get indifferent to it in time?

    Dave Goldman: No, but you're concentrating a lifetime into a few weeks. You're not changing the facts, you're just making them hurt more.
