I just finished watching it, my emotions are a little excited, and the language is not very smooth, but it is all true feelings, from the heart.
The editor asked her: Did you add your own opinion to it?
A: I am doing my best to be fair
The continuation of the survival and prosperity of the race is the deep principle buried in the bones of gregarious creatures, and each individual and each nation will proclaim their innocence. Hannah Arendt struggles to overcome, to see the dark parts of the room, and to stand on the core of true "national progress." Through constant criticism of the self (real, bone-shattering criticism, not formalism!) it is possible to avoid the next collective evil. Whether it's the people of the day or future readers, she wants them to gain something. The role of "enlightenment" is irreplaceable.
Some parts of the "nation" are exposed to the sun, but also have their own dark side. If we can try to be "as objective as possible", can we face up to the "banality and evil" of certain eras? I can feel Hannah Arendt Your desire to "enlighten the wisdom of the people", she hopes that people will be able to remember her words the next time they are collectively lost. Hope people keep their sanity in the frenzy.
It seems that only thinking can avoid becoming the sharp edge of "a certain doctrine" and "a certain class".
Before I became an adult, I read Feng Jicai's "Ten Years of One Hundred People". Those "evil deeds" are just executing orders and fulfilling the call. The inertia of their thinking was a great sin in that era. I once read a sentence that said that it is violence for ten people to bully one person, violence for one hundred people to bully one person, and justice for one hundred thousand people to bully one person. Combining "Hannah Arendt" and "Ten Years of a Hundred Men" today I really realized what this sentence means. How to keep independent thinking in the crowd? Does Faith Really Collapse? Should individuals live in a sense of independence when living in groups? That's why I said that Hannah Arendt was in "Awakening the Wisdom of the People", not only that, but believed that the guidance and tolerance of the society can make the people's understanding go further: to give their own ethnic groups the right to think in pluralism, only rich and speculative Mindfulness makes it possible to avoid the enslavement and drive of extremism.
All in all, it's a very inspiring work.
And, I said earlier that the second half of "Return to My Hometown" can't be seen
Maybe it's time to try again!
