Nixon : You grew up in a religious family, came from a poor family, and then went to a prestigious school, where there are rich people and fashionable people.
Nixon: What school, Oxford?
Foster: Cambridge
Nixon: Where's the snob looking down on you? Of course we look down on it, that's our grief, isn't it, Mr. Foster?
No matter how high we climbed, they still looked down on us.
Foster: I really don't know what you're talking about?
Nixon: No, you know,
forget it, no matter how many awards you get, how many columns you write about, or how high I get elected, it's not enough,
we still feel like we're insignificant.
As those losers tell us over and over again.
Nixon: The self-righteous guys in college, the guys in high positions, from big families.
The esteem that those men enjoyed, we have sought and fervently longed for.
Isn't that why we work so hard today and fight for anything? Isn't that why we climb up by any means necessary?
Let's be honest for a moment, let's each reflect for a moment, and let's take a glimpse at that dark corner of the web called the soul.
Isn't that why we have today? The two of us? Find a way to get back under the sun, be in the spotlight again, and be a winner again.
Because we feel like it's drifting away, we, the two of us, are walking towards the dust!
The snobs always say that's what's up for us!
We will be disgraced and humiliated, and the harder we work, the more humiliation we suffer.
So fuck it, we can't let that happen.
We're going to show those idiots and let them get caught up in our repeated successes.
The headlines report us over and over again, and we will always enjoy the awards, power and glory!
To make those fuckers breathless,
am I right?
Foster: Yes, only one of us can win!
Yes, and I will be your fiercest opponent, and I will attack you with all my might.
Because the spotlight only shines on one of us, and for the other, there is nothing but desolation.
Nothing, alone, but those voices remain in the memory.
This is an excerpt from the most exciting part of the American film "Foster Talks to Nixon". Seeing this, I understand Nixon, understand the anguish and annoyance of a poor child in the process of continuous improvement, and understand more about the popular "struggle" in the previous paragraph. Twenty years, I can have a cup of coffee with you” story, and finally understand how more and more expensive education is blocking the normal channel for children from poor families to rise, and how it is collapsing the cornerstone of the country.
Nixon, poor Nixon! Sad Nixon!
No one dares to break the old world and build a new world like Chairman Mao! He just became a puppet applauded by interest groups, a loner with filth and humiliation.
