At the beginning of human beings, nature is good

The protagonist of this film passed the dialogue reaction of the Nazi leader's trial, and then reflected on the performance of the Jewish Management Committee during the Nazi period, and the question raised by calm thinking: What is the real reason for the tragedy that caused millions of Jews to die in the concentration camps? what is it?

This reminds me of seeing the explanation of the word "good" in "In the beginning of man, nature is inherently good" at the beginning of "Three Character Classic", saying that its original meaning is "praise, praise", not "kindness". In other words, a person's first birth should be something worthy of admiration.

What I found from the film is that most people are judging Hannah's questions from a low level of awareness of life. Even if those people are educated and one of them is one of the victims, but they are affected by their emotions, they cannot stand in the consciousness of the highest level of human life like Hannah, to think about the future destiny of human beings, they should actively think about how to avoid the recurrence of similar tragedy of the event.

In real life, many groups of adults show mediocrity and vulgarity without knowing it, but many people rush to it and become a member of the rabble.

The mediocre and vulgar people are caused by their growth and living environment, influenced by ideology and survival ability, without critical thinking and resistance consciousness, that is, the expression of lack of vitality, which is very sad and pitiful. These people who have no thinking ability, no freedom of choice, and who have lost their humanity, their life value is like an ant, a Nobody.

The mediocre and vulgar people do not know how to sincerely praise and praise life, and most of them are compliments and kitsch;

As a modern person, it seems that it is very important to be a sober and independent thinker, and to have the courage to combine knowledge and action!

Hannah Arendt, thank you for being out in this world and asking these thought-provoking questions! ?

    I always thought that the young man who was sitting beside young Arendt in Shanghai Degel's class was always looking at Arendt. The young man who didn't talk much was Strauss.

    Evil banality. Barbara Sukowa, who plays Hannah Arendt, has a strong performance.

Hannah Arendt quotes

  • Hannah Arendt: Israel has to be very careful that this doesn't become a show trial.

    Kurt Blumenfeld: That's my Hannah! Just wait a bit. And try to understand Ben Gurion. Our young people refuse to confront what you call the "dark times." Either they're ashamed of their parents who didn't fight or protect themselves, or they accuse them of having behaved dishonorably. They think only criminals or whores could have survived the camps.

  • Adolf Eichmann: I received the matter for its continued processing and dealt with it in an intermediate capacity. As I was ordered to do. I had to follow orders.
