It is a coincidence to watch this film in the context of this year's Olympic Games. Two days ago, some people on Weibo were reposting the extremely malicious and extremely instrumental and mechanical "Remember that the blood feud with Japan is the factory setting of each of us". Remarks, Xiao S supports athletes being scolded, and there are many, many athletes from other countries being scolded, obviously we are also very unfortunately going through what Hannah Arendt is going through, but we are different from her roles, I am watching. Ying has always agreed with her judgment on Eichmann before, so I don't think pinky is a heinous crime, but I also don't think they are blameless. I guess people can get the pleasure of revenge when they release their maliciousness like that. So I don't quite believe it's all collective unconscious action. I don't know if Eichmann justified or really felt that he did nothing wrong when he made his innocence statement, but in either case, it actually reminds us that we should always be vigilant and reflect to prevent ourselves from changing. Become fascist, but whether the power of thinking can resist the temptation of fascism itself to people, the film and Hannah Arendt are unknown to this issue, but I think if we can do thinking, instead of doing a micro A dummy with factory settings like the one in the blog post, at least the situation will not be worse than not thinking, of course, maybe this is just a good wish.

    It should have been miserable to shoot this film in China... It's not impossible to make this film, and there is more respect for the Germans

    Recent biopics seem to favor excerpts rather than the lives of their protagonists. First of all, as a movie, it is really not friendly to the audience. The relevant background events and character introductions have been taken carelessly. The dialogues between the characters often go astray and go astray. Of course, the translation of the subtitles team is also responsible. The most exciting is Hannah Arendt's speech at the end of the film, the idea of ​​banal evil and strong personality are undoubtedly revealed.

Hannah Arendt quotes

  • Heinrich Blücher: Dearest. Don't cry.

    Hannah Arendt: I spoke to the doctor. He said you only have a fifty percent chance.

    Heinrich Blücher: Don't forget the other fifty percent.

  • Hans Jonas: But Eichmann is a monster. And when I say monster, I don't mean Satan. You don't need to be smart or powerful to behave like a monster.

    Hannah Arendt: You're being too simplistic. What's new about the Eichmann phenomenon is that there are so many just like him. He's a terrifyingly normal human being.
