love this world

Either accept the nature of men, or be single for life.

The law cannot judge history, it can only judge this man for murder.

Think from the point of view of a criminal, he is just to enforce the law.

Not obeying orders in war will only result in death.

As a Nazi officer, Adolf just fulfilled his task, and it had nothing to do with him as to where the Jews were transported.

If it was his father who was transporting it, he would have done the same.

Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, everyone can carry out orders, it has nothing to do with conscience, responsibility, and this is the scary thing.

The trial is for political purposes rather than historical truth.

The film is interspersed with a lot of real historical video materials.

Thinking is a lonely act.

Can feel Arendt's toughness, her detached attitude of being involved in right and wrong.

The truth becomes clearer and clearer.

No matter what is right or wrong, there should be a right to speak up.

If you want others to love yourself, you must first love yourself.

Love specific people.

For Adolf, the most qualified person to beat his chest is Arendt, who was once imprisoned in a concentration camp and was a victim.

But she has an independent spirit and free thinking, and she is strong enough to overcome all opinions and reply one by one.

Trying to understand does not equal forgiveness.

Only extremes constitute evil.

Is it the collective creation of public opinion to tell you what to do, or the result of thinking.

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.
