After watching the entire film, I realized the fact that the male protagonist is not Heinrich, Eichmann or anyone, but Heidegger. As the theme of the film is nothing but the word "thinking".
For a long time, I felt that "being a superficial person" was a good lifestyle choice, because it didn't require much thought, at least it was easier to be happy. Think, how hard it is.
Slowly, I realized that superficiality does not bring happiness. Superficiality makes people feel that to be happy is to have the same wealth as others, or to be as beautiful as others to be happy. In a word, being superficial, or having no ability to think, can easily lead everyone to follow suit, follow the trend, and be devoured by desire...
Student Hannah Arendt knocked on the door of Heidegger's office and told him that she wanted to learn from him how to think. Only then did I realize that whether the ability to think is a priori or not, the most important attribute is "acquired" and needs to be learned.
The first half of the film is relatively dull, and I almost gave up the show after watching it for an hour. The second half is the most exciting part, whether it's the New Yorker magazine staff discussing Hannah's manuscript, disagreeing; Secretary Lottie reading readers' denunciation letters to Arendt; Arendt giving lectures on campus , to tell her understanding of "the evil of mediocrity"; it was Hans, an old classmate who criticized her for being arrogant and stubborn, putting on the face of a German high-level intellectual, and breaking with it... 80% of the good-looking plots and tense performances are in Presented an hour later. Fortunately, did not give up the show.
