I knew almost nothing about Hannah before watching the movie, and I don't know anything about it anymore. The depth and advance of her thoughts are simply admirable and unpredictable. Rather than writing about Hannah's life, the film focuses on the writing of the book "The Banal Evil" and the events surrounding it. She is so rational and objective that it almost makes people feel cold and emotionless. He himself, as a Jew, was deeply persecuted by the Nazis, but he was able to jump out of the national frame and emotion, and stand in the perspective of a bystander to calmly examine the source of this chaos. Not to be clouded by hatred, look at Eichmann's representative case from a philosophical proposition, and analyze the logic behind it and the universal phenomenon. It is not a radical criticism to cast aside this person and the performance of this case, but to ponder the essence and logic behind this phenomenon. This would have been a philosophical and calm and objective approach. However, this case involves the Nazis. This is a tag that can be directly yelled at without having to listen carefully to its content and without thinking. However, Hannah did not directly criticize and satirize the central character of the incident, but in the eyes of the public seemed to be analyzing the logic behind her whitewashed Eichmann actions. This is something that seems to break through the ethics of ordinary people, and everyone will think "she didn't scold this bastard, but explained to us why he did this! She wants us to understand a demon who killed millions of Jews ahhhhhhh she's the devil!!!!". Yes, she is trying to analyze and understand the root of this evil. However, understanding does not mean forgiveness, because the consequences have already been produced, and they are huge and tragic. But we can deeply analyze what is hidden behind this evil, and warn the world (well, I think this is not the goal she pursues, the purpose of her research may be just her yearning for the truth hidden behind it and she never the habit of stopping thinking). So, everyone slammed her, ostracized her, cursed her, except her thought partner. But no one can be blamed for this, because the evil deeds of the Nazis had such a great impact on everyone's spirit that emotions replaced thinking, and they only saw the outcome of the tragedy without thinking about the tragedy itself and the process of its occurrence. Just like mediocre evil, not thinking by yourself, but doing something that everyone thinks is right, And it feels right to ignore the consequences. Another point worth thinking about is the conflict between the national standpoint and the standpoint of all mankind. Perhaps it should not be called the standpoint of all mankind, but the standpoint of philosophy. It is divorced from worldly relationships and emotions, and completely looks at a thing from the standpoint of a natural person, a separate individual, or a bystander. In that event, that era was shocking and even contrary to human ethics. She is a maverick, ahead of her time, out of a worldly perspective. Mirror not everyone can have such a state of consciousness and courage. Another highlight of the movie is the emotional line in it. The magical relationship between Hannah, Heinrich and Charlotte. Hannah was well aware of Charlotte's existence and status, but she never pointed it out or rejected it. I see through the nature of men and the essence of love, but I still love without dismantling it. She is a really free, easy and transparent female man. Then there's Hannah's friendship with an American female writer. Hahaha, the actress from the American female writer is really sharp and full of true feelings for her interpretation. Hahaha. Is a bohemian upright big woman. I am a mango who is full of prejudice and preference, and is not shy about it. I'm just a shallow person who can't think and love to think. If you think there is anything wrong with this spicy chicken article, you can say it generously, but don't scold me. If I scold me, I will scold you, but if I cannot scold you, I may cry.
