why they

Why inspire me is the people over the sea.

At the beginning of the film, I was puzzled and even disgusted with the actions of the Seven Gentlemen in the film.

In the end, they were touched by their belief in nonviolent and peaceful protest.

Time has come to this day, and history has given the answer. The United States was the unjust teacher in the Vietnam War. Today, when we look at those people who opposed the Vietnam War in the United States at that time, we will feel that they were correct and moral. Sympathy arises spontaneously after seeing the unfair treatment of those who hold high the flag of righteousness.

But it was neglected that looking at them at the time, they may not be the same as they are now.

To be honest, if I were in the middle, I would probably be the group of people who followed the main theme.

National war, national conscription, how can we disobey the order regardless of the overall situation! They are a bunch of rats, doing things to avoid conscription. Anti-war slogans are just an excuse for their escape.

If I were an American citizen at the time, I would have avoided this group of street sign holders. Only when I was drawn on the draft list would I have the urge to follow them. But only dare to be impulsive

It's hard to understand what gave them courage. Hard to understand, only to escape fear.

But now, I can use the historical perspective to have an understanding.

Probably thought, is rational.

But it is only approximate, not certain.

Because there are so many people who told me that this film is an artistic praise, although it is adapted from reality, it is different from reality. And the purpose of the film's birth is not pure, it has a zz purpose.

In the midst of praise and depreciation, I experienced a series of contradictions and entanglements with a lack of thought.

In the tangle, I can only choose in the end, I believe in my heart, I believe in the touch that has appeared.

The whole world is watching, and I want to be the part that is watching.

    Best of the year as of today. "It's the 1960s outside the bar, the 1950s inside the bar", "Are there only seven people protesting with 100,000 undercover cops?", and the members of the Black Panther Party who were shot were all too impressed

    The whole article talks about one thing: what is called "not treating people as people", and how people become people and how they do it. There are also such awesome and glittering characters in China's modern history, but they can't make a movie. When the death list was finally read out, the moment when the children stood on the court chair and paid tribute to their fathers, was as passionate as "Dead Poets Society", and it was also the hope of civil rights, the best enlightenment education, the best father-son inheritance, that's how it was accomplished .

The Trial of the Chicago 7 quotes

  • Tom Hayden: If blood is going to flow, let it flow all over this city!

  • [after being informed of Fred Hampton's murder]

    Bobby Seale: [to Tom Hayden] You've all got the same father, right? 'Cut your hair, don't be a fag, respect authority, respect America - respect me.' Your life, it's a 'fuck-you' to your father, right? A little?

    Tom Hayden: Maybe.

    Bobby Seale: Maybe. And you can see how that's different from a rope on a tree?

    Tom Hayden: [quietly] Yeah.

    Bobby Seale: Yeah. He was shot in the shoulder first. You can't aim a gun if you've been shot in the shoulder, you can't squeeze the trigger. Second shot was in his head. Fred was executed. Anything else?

    William Kunstler: No.

    [Bobby leaves the room without another word]
