The good and bad old days

Trent 2022-04-20 09:01:32

Back to the old days when mainstream politics is pure and all about ideology, when most on earth have to struggle for the relative freedom that feels so real and so absolute, we don't say manipulation of language or human psyc, we say mobilization and alteration; and we push forward this charismatic individual and many like him to the front, with the dimmest hope that someone would speak up for people of a nation and children from one mother, the faith towards one formless religion what we may call today, mostly in a sarcastic manner, patriotic complex.
I do see a noble man in front of his people and his country, and under his wings, I'd like to spread out those of my own and fight for the same reason, for a clear and liberal sky, for freedom, for never surrender to tyranny and never give up.
This movie is very convincing in talking people into a believe: serving the people and serving the country is a unity, which sounds like something could fit into Justin's stand up comedy show. But during the war, things tend to show in their most original and primitive form, far away from lies each made up for maintaining his own power. All is one, and one is all, this ideal story again ignited my interest in history. I now hope to encounter more stories and movies and art in the old days .

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: D'you know, I've never ridden a bus? I've never queued for bread. I believe I can boil an egg... but only because I've seen it done. The only time I tried riding the Underground was during the General Strike. Clemmie dropped me off at South Kensington station. I went down but got lost. I came straight back up! It was awful.

  • [having accepted the post of Prime Minister, Churchill must now have regular meetings with the King]

    Sir Anthony Eden: You only have to meet him once a week.

    Winston Churchill: But that's like saying you only have to have your tooth pulled once a week.
