The title, originally titled "Grindelwald's Inciting Discussion," focuses on the discussion, and the following mainly describes what happened at the rally. It is clear that this rally is a big drama carefully designed by Grindelwald to spread his opinions, and the last fire intended to massacre the city (Grindelwald: I hate Paris) forced the old man Nicole May to come out. Here are the words of Grindelwald that I noticed.
1) Attempts to justify violence. Said at the rally that I do not hate them (I do not hate them), then said in a condescending manner that Muggles are not worthless, but of other value, and finally used the abused word live for freedom , for truth, for love.
2) One-sided display of information, using information asymmetry to shock and anger the masses and weaken their judgment. At the rally, clips of war and the lethality of weapons were played in the name of the moment has come to share my vision of the future. Why can't I see a future fragment of Muggle self-examination and hard work? It should be ignored.
3) Another attempt to justify violence. Muggle arrogance, power lust, barbarity, so we should fight them.
4) Provoking the relationship between the masses and the power of the rule of law, and blurring the charges. Say something after spreading hatred, You must remain calm, and contain your emotions. (Because) there are Aurors on the scene. Grindelwald is actually very clear that what he said before has been instigated, and the seeds have already been planted. This sentence "Oh, keep calm or you may conflict with the Aurors" has been filtered by some people's ears. "Hey the Aurors are here, right? I'm ready to not calm down."
He also condemned the Aurors for arresting and killing Grindelwald's followers (and adding this is true to intensify emotions), imprisoning himself, beautifying the crime as seeking the truth, wanting the freedom, and brainwashing the ordinary wizards present at the assembly. Calm is no longer required now, the phrase "Your anger, your desire for revenge is natural", a flag is dedicated.
5) A fuse. The agitated ordinary wizard raised his wand at the Auror first, with his back to the camera, unable to see what spell she was about to chant; one Auror overreacted and chant the Unforgivable Curse. The situation was really tense. Brother Newt had previously emphasized the use of minimum force on the crowd, and the Auror had indeed made a mistake. This behavior is exactly what Grindelwald wants to promote.
The ordinary wizard appeared on the street at (01:16:05), and I think it was meant to express that this was really an ordinary person, who might have lived a good life and had nothing to do with Muggles, and might have had troubles, but in short An ordinary wizard living in the city, after attending this rally, was agitated by Grindelwald and then tragic.
Epilogue
I personally like the series Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, looking forward to reading the story, and feel that JK Rowling is trying to explore a wider worldview value than Harry Potter, some motivations and behaviors in more detail. For example, silently, for example, at the end, Nagini did not join the forerunner of her later master.
Depp played Grindelwald very well, and I can see his charisma, otherwise there would be no "CP fans". When Grindelwald was imprisoned in the Spire in the late period, under the torment of Voldemort, he never told the whereabouts of the Elder Wand (protecting Dumbledore) (in the end, it should be the old Legionnaire who got the information and then went to rob the tomb), which made me in After the Harry Potter series ended, I was still quite fond of and curious about the character. And now, with the addition of the Fantastic Beasts series to the story, I will not forget Grindelwald's distinctive villainous characteristics and indifference to life in this period.
Faced with this menacing villain, we know that eventually our gentle and powerful Professor Dumbledore will come forward. May everyone in real life understand the responsibility brought by gentleness and strength.
