LIVE AID saves lives

I just watched "Bohemian Rhapsody" last night. In the end, Queen was a rock singer to raise money for African refugees. The name of the concert was "Save Lives". The heroine Tesa is also doing the same thing, helping them without hurting them.

When the end was about to end, the camera showed the eyes of the little African children. There was no fear or hatred in their eyes. They happily ran and gave the camera a thumbs up, like praise and thanks, and they cried. Sometimes I also think about some of the "political correctness" that the West is pursuing now, like compensating black people, but it is almost irrelevant compared to what Africa really needs. The ones who are really hurt are the people who are left on the African soil.

Some wealthy and righteous people in the West feel that they have an obligation to help the poor, but I have read an article saying that it is more important not to help while hurting.

Many movies have touched on this point. The whole group came under the banner of help, and then the leaders of the group colluded with the local rulers, or the aid materials were directly given to the rulers, consolidating each other's power, and then plundering local resources. It may be said that without contacting the local people, aid organizations cannot survive in the local area, and there will inevitably be transactions, but transactions without a bottom line are secondary harm.

"In Africa, pharmaceutical companies and arms dealers are the same raccoon dog." The whole film is to expose how unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies are, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and under the banner of help, they plunder the resources of human testing drugs. Expired warranty period. Since I watched "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Walking Through the Future" last year, I have come into contact with pharmaceutical companies and human trials. I will read books on this topic next.

As for the local aid in Africa, there is a German doctor who has won the Peace Prize and has a very rich experience. Then he said that his life is not to engage in academia or art, but to dedicate his life to ordinary people and serve them in the name of Jesus. Do little things. He lives in Africa and has been a local doctor all his life.

Wei Zi's poor white left lawyer is more like this German doctor. There are too many bad things in the land of Africa, how can you help? If you can do one thing well, just do one thing.

Okay, let's talk about the actors next! It is a pity for the immortal CP that there is not much time together in this movie, and the feeling of CP is not tired enough to make calls, but it is still the immortal CP. Ralph Fiennes is really such a gentle, affectionate and affectionate person, the reader, the British patient adds this, and he loves to run to Africa, the bomb disposal unit, the British patient adds this, I have read a lot Such a screen image will be brainwashed, how can you find a man!

As for the archangel Vichy, that naive and sweet smile is very iconic. Even if she misunderstood her before, she couldn't help but defend herself. You see, this is dedicating herself to the cause. What she really loves should be with her. Like-minded people, not just a good husband who will be gentle and wait for her to come back on a rainy night. But no! ! So love must speak out, and once again admonish yourself. If you express it clearly from the beginning, you will not be so resentful later. Two people take each other's video, it's so sweet, can I wait for the person in my life who can't help but video him as a souvenir?

In the movie, tessa's cousin, Ham, has become an existence of hope invisibly, and I think he is very capable and reliable.

The captain of the plane at Rocky is my African cook somewhere, and his voice and looks are very similar.

And Abu, a little African girl, jumped out of the plane when she saw two adults arguing, and then in the shadow of the plane's wings, she continued to flee, and no one could care about her.

Both of Ralph Fiennes' films about Africa are worth seeing.

Two funny lines, do not represent my position
