Forgiveness and the bottom line of forgiveness
Camden 2022-04-23 07:03:34
How should people treat those who hurt us? Everyone in the film has been hurt by others to some extent, and at the same time, it is inevitable that they have hurt others. Using violence to control violence can only make things worse. Perhaps only forgiveness can make people truly peaceful. When I read it, I couldn't figure out what this theme had to do with the African tycoon incident. Now I suddenly figured it out. That is, there is a limit to human forgiveness. Violence against a car mechanic can be tolerated - because he is not heinous. , but the dehumanizing behavior of women by African tycoons cannot be condoned.

Anton: Sometimes it feels like there is a veil between you and death, but that veil disappears when you lose someone you loved or someone who was close to you, and you see death clearly, for a second, but later the veil returns, and you carry on living. Then things will be alright again.

Christian: That asshole, Lars.
Elias: You want to blow up his car?
Christian: Sure.
Elias: Someone will find out. A car is really expensive.
Christian: Your dad will be pleased.
Elias: I'm not so sure.

Elias: I'm not sure...
Christian: If you're not in, I would like my knife back right now.
