Do not praise the collective and the government, do not praise heroes and leaders, owe everything to love, and through love, return the greatness to the crowd and to every ordinary individual. This is the charm of the American theme and the charm of freedom and equality in the West. .
The narrative at the end of the film reveals the scene of the bombing and also reveals the subtle appeal of the American theme.
The two people spent a long time planning this hateful action, but Love retaliated in an instant. When the explosion happened, people immediately came to help.
Do not praise the collective and the government, do not praise heroes and leaders, owe everything to love, and through love, return "greatness" to the crowd and to every ordinary person. This is the charm of the American theme and the charm of freedom and equality in the West. Where.
While acknowledging its smallness, it affirms the power of ordinary people. Attributing the victory to the crowd rather than a powerful organization, this gives every tiny individual a sense of existence and a sense of security born out of it. On the contrary, the security of oneself is delivered to a powerful organization to ensure that in a seemingly safe environment, the individual loses the possibility of fighting for himself, and ultimately loses everything.
A monologue in the movie is also thought-provoking and moving:
Seven years ago, the doctor said that Carol could not have children. We returned home and parked the car in the driveway. We saw the neighbor’s children, three little girls playing hopscotch there, five or six years old. We watched quietly, fascinated by it. Carol made some noises, not crying, but lower than the crying. I looked at her eyes, her eyes were full of pain, not pain, but more like war. It was as if good and evil were fighting in her eyes, as if evil struck, the goodness in her heart was fighting back.
Evil and ugliness are also part of our innateness. Human nobility does not lie in pure and flawless goodness and beauty. Those pictures of the most true and good are easy to settle down, and human nobility lies in those ugly attacks. The moment that comes, we can fight against it and win the victory in the end-this evil does not only come from the world, but more often from our hearts.
Many times, education tells us that if we improve our cultivation and keep diligent, the evil will fade away less and less. In fact, the darkness will never fade away. " We search for them, catch them, kill them, and they will still find us. Things can never be completely avoided. "What we can really do is to acknowledge their existence, and then strengthen ourselves so that when they pounce, we can defeat them.
When evil strikes, there is only one weapon in your hand that can be used to counterattack, and that is love, which is the only nemesis of evil.
Saruman believes that only strong power can deter evil. I do not believe. In my opinion, what can restrain darkness is the act of kindness and love. It is a trivial matter, it is the daily life of ordinary people. (Gandalf "The Hobbit 1: An Unexpected Journey")
They will never win.
