Value confusion when thinking

Not to mention that Buddhism is one of the three major religions in the world, according to Leslie's point of view, "I think it is philosophy". What she hates is only "organized religion" - "the organized kind". Yes, she made a very "unorganized" last wish, but cremation, singing and dancing, and the ashes being scattered in the toilets of crowded shopping malls are still religious ceremonies.

What's more, you are wrapped in white cloth and put flowers - are flowers a philosophy? No, flowers are religion.

If we want to go further, the boundary between religion and philosophy is actually hard to say. Both are an ideology of human civilization, and who is less abstract than the other. . . . There is still a debate about who is closer to the ultimate truth of the universe than who.

Ben and Leslie originally had a common goal. They wanted to build an ideal country, and they wanted to be anti-social. They played with their children and didn't hinder anyone. This was okay.

Dad can lie, steal, and don't know how to respect others, these plots show the loopholes and failures of Ben's original mode...

After spending most of my life believing in something, after a funeral, I immediately turned 180 degrees. The human rights and freedoms that they have been emphasizing in their education system are now slapped in the face.

The eldest son wants to go to college, the younger son wants to return to society, and the four daughters want to follow Ben to continue their original life. Please, you all believe in individualism. Why didn't the eldest son go to college, the youngest son went to society, and the four daughters and Ben returned to Dashan, but they all compromised with the mainstream civilization? Don't fool me with a happy breakfast time - you just chose a suburb of a city and planted some flowers and plants in the yard. Everyone took a step back and used a half-society, half-wild way to forcibly show respect.

Captain Fantastic quotes

  • Ben: [about flirtatious girls] Go talk to them. We got time.

    Bo: Ask her what she thinks of the working people creating an armed revolution against the exploiting classes and their state structures?

    Ben: Well, Marxists can be just as genocidal as capitalists.

    Bo: Or weather or not she's a dialectical materialist and accords primacy to the class struggle?

    Ben: Avoid Marxism. Or telling her you're a Trotskyite.

    Bo: Trotskyist. Only a Stalinist would call a Trotskyist a Trotskyite. And I'm not a Trotskyist anymore. I'm a Maoist.

    Ben: Right. I forgot, sorry.

  • Ben: [stops the bus to lecture his moping children] We can't go to mommy's funeral. We have to do what we're told. Some fights, you can't win. The powerful control the lives of the powerless. That's the way the world works. It's unjust and it's unfair. But that's just too damn bad. We have to shut up and accept it.

    [now turning around in his seat]

    Ben: Well, fuck that!

    [starts the bus back up and turns on loud bag pipe music]

    Kids: [all cheering]
