I vaguely remember Sherlock in the textbooks when he was a child. He was an opportunistic and ruthless character. He didn't know how to appreciate the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, but he wanted to satisfy his selfish hatred from it. Looking at it now, Sherlock has become a character who has won sympathy and sadness. The Jewish people have endured the oppression, freedom, insults and abuse that they have endured for a long time. I will not comment on the contradictions of religion for now, but Al Pacino's performance is really shocking. He humiliated me, cost me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my income, scolded my nation, thwarted my business, alienated my friends, angered my enemies, and what did he do? ? I am a Jew! Do Jews have no eyes? Do Jews have no hands? No organs, no height? No feeling, affection, and enthusiasm? Don't eat the same thing? Not getting stabbed with the same weapon? Will not be reached by the same disease? Won't be cured by the same method? Don't feel the change of summer and cold like the Christians? You stab us and we won't bleed? You scratch us and we won't laugh? You poison us, will we not die? And if you offend us, won't we retaliate? If the rest of us are like you, we will be like you in this. This passage is like the Declaration of Human Rights, and like Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream", it is shocking.
