Path of Glory: Die Easy, Die Hard

One thought scared the shit out of me.

That thought suddenly popped into my mind,

"How do you get more money from your sister?"

Tianli replied:

Be kind to your sister, be kind with all your heart, love her, respect her, care for her, keep close contact with her, so that when you need to buy a house, a car, or a wife, she will give you money.

Human desire can do this:

Marry my sister and receive dowry gifts; I keep borrowing money from my brother-in-law, and if I can't borrow money, I use my sister's name to abduct and cheat; I'm not afraid of conflicts between my sister and my brother-in-law. If the elder sister is killed by domestic violence, the money that the brother-in-law has to pay and the money of the parents will go to the younger brother. In case, the elder sister and brother-in-law are immortal, the younger brother will take care of their children, and by the way, the inheritance of their family, in the name of love.

This idea is so scumbag that I picked up my phone, made an exception, and shouted a voice to a single girl on WeChat!

......

The core is just one meaning, Welcome to Beijing, although this is not your hometown, it is a place that speaks heaven.

but,

but,

However, I definitely did not mean to persuade that single girl not to get married.

I won't say much about the value of marriage to human beings.

Anyway, this sentence is definitely politically correct: "If all men in this world had wives, World War I and World War II would be impossible."

What I want to say is that the value of marriage to an individual,

1. Marriage can help you relieve anger, relieve boredom, and solve problems.

2. If you don't get married, you also need to relieve anger, relieve boredom, and solve problems.

3. Whether you get married or not, you must constantly improve your ability to "relieve anger, relieve boredom, and solve problems".

If you are anti-war, I recommend you to watch 1957, Kubrick, the director's work "Path of Glory".

If you are anti-marriage, I recommend you to watch 2017, 83-year-old old lady, Sheila Hancock, played "Ettie".

These two films are spoilers that will be downgraded from "five-star praise" to "two-star bad film",

So, I can only say empty words:

The theme of the two films is the same, it is easy to die first and then difficult to die, and the east wind is powerless.

Remark:

Anti-war film, Paths of Glory (1957)

Anti-marriage film, Edie (2017)

    Kubrick's anti-war films are always soberly thinking about the impact of war on human beings. Here, war has become a tool for high-ranking officials and politicians. It was they, not the soldiers, who pulled the trigger, and not only corpses, but helpless justice was under the gun.

    There is nothing profound and deafening, because where there are people, there are disgusting things. War is deformed blood, revolution is deformed impulse, and many shameless things are covered up by those hot-blooded illusions, and injustice can happen at any time.

Paths of Glory quotes

  • Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of getting killed.

    soldier in bunk: That's as clear as mud.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Well, which would you rather be done in by: a bayonet or a machine gun?

    soldier in bunk: Oh, a machine gun, naturally.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Naturally, that's just my point. They're both pieces of steel ripping into your guts, only the machine gun is quicker, cleaner, and less painful, isn't it?

    soldier in bunk: Yeah, but what does that prove?

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: That proves that most of us are more afraid of getting hurt than of getting killed. Look at Bernard. He panics when it comes to gas. Gas doesn't bother me a bit. He's seen photos of gas cases. Doesn't mean anything to me. But I'll tell you something though, I'd hate like the devil to be without my tin hat. But on the other hand I don't mind not having a tin hat for my tail. Why is that?

    soldier in bunk: You're darn tootin', because...

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Because I know a wound to the head would hurt much more than one to the tail. The tail is just meat but the head- ah, the head is all bone.

    soldier in bunk: That's...

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Tell me this. Aside from the bayonet, what are you most afraid of?

    soldier in bunk: High explosives.

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: Exactly, and it's the same with me, because, because I know that it can chew you up worse than anything else. Look, just like I'm trying to tell you, if you're really afraid of dying you'd be living in a funk all the rest of your life because you know you've got to go someday, anyday. And besides...

    soldier in bunk: Yes?

    Pvt. Pierre Arnaud: If it's death that you're really afraid of why should you care about what it is that kills you?

    soldier in bunk: Oh, you're too smart for me, Professor. All I know is, nobody wants to die.

  • Colonel Dax: Gentlemen of the court, there are times when I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race and this is one such occasion. It's impossible for me to summarise the case for the defence since the Court never allowed me a reasonable opportunity to present that case.

    General Mireau: Are you protesting the authenticity of this court?

    Colonel Dax: [pause] Yes, sir. I protest against being prevented from introducing evidence which I considered vital to the defence; the prosecution presented no witnesses; there has never been a written indictment of charges made against the defendants, and lastly, I protest against the fact that no stenographic records of this trial have been kept.

    [pause]

    Colonel Dax: The attack yesterday morning was no stain on the honour of France, and certainly no disgrace to the fighting men of this nation. But this Court Martial is such a stain, and such a disgrace. The case made against these men is a mockery of all human justice. Gentlemen of the court, to find these men guilty would be a crime, to haunt each of you till the day you die. I can't believe that the noblest impulse for man - his compassion for another - can be completely dead here. Therefore, I humbly beg you... show mercy to these men.
