Similar golden sentences, even if they are made up, can be quite true.
Mrs. Thatcher is a true politician. The purpose of a politician in life is not power. Power is only a means. Its purpose is to obtain greater authority to do things. Just as she followed the advice of her colleagues: You want to change our party, Lead it . You want to change our country, Lead it.
This is the ambition that a politician only has, so after she was elected, she has a tough wrist and a tough style, because this is what she wanted to do early in the morning. When she was the Minister of Education, she was already very tough in the face of doubt, choosing the good and stubborn. No surprise at all.
This movie can move people's hearts, and that's why it captures several representative fragments of Mrs. Thatcher's life as a representative. It is a fair and objective description. Her evaluation in the UK is very contrasting, and there are many supporters and opponents. They are also very iron.
In my opinion, the Margaret Thatcher expressed in this movie is the kind of politician that I think I agree with. The biggest significance of being in politics is that it can change people’s lives, and the number of people affected is the most. The ancient Chinese said: No A good doctor is a good doctor. It also changes people's lives, and more people are affected by good health.
When she was a college student, she was inspired by Heath’s speech and felt that her ideas were similar. She joined the Conservative Party and campaigned step by step, and finally entered the Heath shadow cabinet, but then she felt that Heath was too weak to lead the party. , So she participated in the election, defeated Heath, became the leader of the party, and then became the first female prime minister. The motivation behind her is one thing. She has to practice her own ideas. Among her ideas, the most critical one is : To prevent Britain from moving towards socialism.
Through these events shown in the movie (in fact, most of them are consistent with history, this history is not far away), we can see that Margaret Thatcher is a leader who understands the principle of razor, she always adheres to simple and clear concepts, and To make complex mistakes simple and clear, such as the Falkland Islands battle, she did not understand the naval commander's battle map, and did not care about the peace mediation of the international community, but insisted on a simple principle: not to negotiate with gangsters. After the war was won, Britain regained the Falkland Islands. When speaking to Parliament, she said: I think this day is not suitable for questioning or criticizing my judgment. We need to pray for the dead soldiers. This is a glorious moment in the British Empire.
When the United States came to mediate, she also used simple questions to solve complex international relations issues. She just asked the US Foreign Minister: Hawaii is also very far from your country, but very close to Japan. If Japan occupied Hawaii, would you talk to them? Negotiation?
The same is true for other policies. She can always simplify seemingly complex issues, find solutions, and push them hard. This is the skill of a qualified politician.
Of course, the authorities may not be able to see the complexity of politics itself, and she happened to lose in the party in the end. Rather than rival parties. In 11 years, for her, a lot of things have been done, and many have not been done.
This movie and other British movies (for example, "Strange Grace" is an earlier parliament), you can see the parliamentary situation of the old democratic countries. I have watched a bit of Blair going to parliament to answer questions on the BBC, hundreds of years It has passed, but the difference is not that big: everyone scolded loudly there, and the speaker desperately yelled: order! Order! , And then quieted down. Someone spoke. Just after the sentence was finished, the opposition party yelled again, or the ruling party’s legislators strongly supported it. When Mrs. Thatcher met for the first time, her party members said to her that she was welcome to the lunatic asylum. This is indeed the case. The parliamentary atmosphere in Western countries is like a lunatic asylum (some beginners, such as Taiwan and South Korea, even fight it out), but the Chinese laughed at this political form after a meal, and silently saved money to send their children to Anglo, America and France. These evil capitalist countries. This is actually a form of voting: voting with your feet.
Is Margaret Thatcher's life a success or a failure? There is no success or failure in the British dictionary. The meaning of life is not measured in this way. The first election failed. Boyfriend Dennis held a portion of Britain’s famous and only food: fish and chips, handed it to her, and then began to propose marriage. He said, Although you have a degree from Oxford University, you are a girl from a grocery store. If you are the wife of a wealthy businessman, your political career will go smoothly. Marry me.
Such a marriage proposal is not at all romantic.
Before accepting her husband’s proposal, Maggie suppressed her excitement and joy, and said seriously: I must make it clear that I don’t want to spend my whole life in the kitchen washing dishes and taking care of children. The prospective husband replied: Of course, we will hire workers. She simply made it clear: I didn't mean that, I mean, life has to be meaningful, which means more than just being a good wife and a good mother.
She has been pursuing the meaning of life. In the film, two twin children chased her car and ran a long way. She hoped that her mother could look at the painting she drew. She sat in the car and galloped away calmly, leaving one behind. To the disappointed children. Even her husband, who has always supported her, expressed dissatisfaction when he heard that she was going to run for party leader, but in the end he said, "Don't worry about me, Xiaoma, I'm fine."
The movie begins in her old life after losing her husband, and runs through the movie. In addition to the major things that Mrs. Thatcher did, her love life, her old age, and the memories of her husband and children are more important than those of the military. Much more. Until the end, she was troubled by auditory hallucinations and said from the bottom of her heart:
"Before I met you, I lived alone for 24 years, and my life was well organized. You suddenly broke into my life and made me unable to be independent. I can rely on you."
Then, she saw Dennis had really gone, disappeared in her hallucinations, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Tao Jie has mentioned many times that his ten years in the UK have been the ten years of Margaret Thatcher's reign. He has seen and experienced how she has reshaped the UK, and she admires the five-body cast every time she talks about it. He returned to settle in HK in 1993 (the year that Mrs. Thatcher stepped down), hoping to experience the return of 97. Take a look at the changes in HK, and now he sees it.
Last week I watched "60 Minutes" interview Jack Dorcrsey, who invented Twitter. His next plan is to run for the mayor of New York. He said, I like New York and I want to change it. This is an authentic nerd. He can't communicate with people normally except typing. He designed Twitter. After being kicked out by the shareholders of Twitter, he founded Square, an electronic payment system xit system. Because a friend of his did not sell a work at an art exhibition, just because he didn't have the money to install Visa or UnionPay terminals.
The reporter asked him, what do you do to canvass for a public speech? He said that I should think of a way, in fact, I can also use twitter. During the interview, he always felt shy. He looked down and never looked directly at the reporter.
I hope that his campaign can be successful, because what drives him is the impulse to do things rather than the desire for power.
