Human nature does not distinguish right from wrong, only the system distinguishes right from wrong

I watched it in a hurry without understanding the social background of South Africa at that time. Many shots of the film were handled a bit awkwardly, such as the overall tone (it was originally based on black people, and there are so many shots taken at night??), a lot of contrast. Repeatedly interspersed shots cause the rhythm of the film to be fast and slow, a little too forceful, and the atmosphere of the whole film is heavy from beginning to end (although it is a movie about...

Forgiveness is freedom

I watched the Korean movie "Gorgeous Vacation" a few days ago, and I clearly felt that even a bystander like me felt pain and hatred surging in my heart. And what about those involved in the movement? What kind of destructive and bitter power will such pain and hatred accumulate in the heart for many years? This is what worries me because: Korea has Gwangju, we have Tiananmen - some things are not really so far away that they are almost irrelevant to us. What I fear or even fear is this, such a...

choke the anger

This way of pursuing freedom in the film can only be called terrorism. Only genuine forgiveness can truly give a person the freedom they want.
    The title of the film can be understood as "holding the throat of anger" and such a work must be the God who prayed for all people on the cross.
    Whether it is the fire of lust, whether it is the mine that can cause a fire, or the anger of hatred in the hearts of people, there is nothing that we can do by ourselves. We are the initiators...

Any racial oppression is similar, the fears of the rulers and the fears of the ruled appear to be different, but they are actually closely related, and in the end, true reconciliation will require generations to continue working towards...
