Without it, it is jealous!

Why do the boys at West Point hate Elizabeth so much: The reason is simple, it is jealousy! A group has always been condescendingly looking down, pitying, and absolutely controlling another group, but one day suddenly discovered that the group that should be overlooked suddenly climbed on top of itself one day and looked down on itself condescendingly... , The sense of superiority that had always been accustomed to disappear disappeared, the psychological balance was lost, and then it began to lose control and retaliate against that group frantically...

The above psychological reaction is not limited to men and women, but in the film is shown as men's jealousy of women. In fact, as long as the people around us who have been down and overlooked for a long time suddenly become condescending and looking down on us, most people will have this kind of jealousy!

The film is very good, and the male lead's acting skills are top-notch! It's just that the plot unfolds hurriedly, and the early preparation is not enough. I feel that various clues and murderers have appeared inexplicably...

In addition, because the film wants to express too many things: the selfishness of the father, the disappearance of family affection, the collapse of beliefs, sexism, the ugliness of human nature, jealousy, institutional problems...blablabla, leading to a bit of confusion in the narrative of the story, various elements The fusion is not very compact and natural, and a bit scattered: I was talking about sexism in the last second, and I changed to the betrayal of family affection in the next second... and so on.

But in general, this is a good movie worth watching.

    The gender and law courses let us watch a film that is quite meaningful, and the content is also deeply thought-provoking. When a woman is a soldier or even a man in the upper position, what will the world think?

    A conspiracy tale of scandal and reputation that exposes a cruel and cold-blooded father, and also explores the role of women in the military. It's a pity that the director's narration method is too rigid and clumsy. The same story is written by Alan Sorkin, which should be more than one rank higher.

The General's Daughter quotes

  • [Brenner watches another tape of one of Elisabeth Campbell's teachings]

    Capt. Elisabeth Campbell: The human eye can distinguish 16 shades of gray. A computer image processor analyzing a fingerprint can distinguish 256 shades of gray, which is impressive. The human heart, mind, and soul, however, can distinguish an infinite number of emotional, psychological, and moral shadings. In Psy Ops we deal with the blackest of black and the whitest of white. Thank you.

  • [General Campbell pays a final visit to Brenner before leaving the country]

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Remember, when I asked you if you were a cop or a soldier?

    Brenner: Yes, sir.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Well, you're a soldier, Paul... and a damn fine one.

    Brenner: [General Campbell salutes Brenner before walking off, as Brenner follows] General Campbell. You're wrong. I'm a rotten soldier.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Oh? And why is that?

    Brenner: You really don't get it, do you? The only mind Elisabeth wanted to fuck with, was yours.
