Movies may not be full marks in terms of layout and performance, but the significance of this kind of movie itself is not to compare the art and skills of other movies, but to see whether it tells a valuable story. This is the life of this kind of movie, just like my title, so I gave it 5 stars, just to praise and recommend the meaning of this movie.

The essence of human society that is different from the animal world lies in the establishment of morality, the respect of human nature, and the establishment of good order. It is precisely because of these core things that we are different from the animal world of the grasslands and mountains where the weak and the strong eat the strong and the willful slaughter. As a powerful machine of human society responsible for maintaining these core values, the essence of the state is to see whether these core values ​​are maintained, otherwise it is an evil country. For example, Nazi Germany trampled on human rights recklessly, and the state apparatus was reduced to an evil country that was robbed by certain classes and even robbed by means of war. Of course, this evil country will soon perish. However, many countries have not reached the evil of the Nazis, but in essence they do not respect the core values ​​of these human societies, so many problems will arise. For example, the current United States has actually become a machine for some people to plunder, but it also has a good side. This is true for the entire European and American society.

The film's response is of course the good side. The nature of the second war against Iraq is as mentioned above. The state apparatus is manipulated and the well-being of millions of people is used as a bargaining chip. So what is the difference between this and the Nazi approach? Anti-war activists in Europe and the United States have risen to resist in order to safeguard the core values ​​of human society. Therefore, the heroine is not loyal to the government, but extremely loyal to the country. Because for the country, everyone hopes that it will be a heaven on earth, and the government is in turn, and the country is the only unchanging machine that maintains core values ​​and justice on earth. Understand this, it is not difficult to understand why the treason of the heroine is not established, provided that the government has violated the law. The brilliance of human nature gleams and illuminates the darkness of the world. This is the greatest positive energy the film tells.

Of course, the prerequisite to ensure this is that a democratic and legal social system has been established. Therefore, the victory of the rule of law is also one of the core performances in this film. No matter how powerful a government agency is, it must respect the law and respect human rights. This is the greatest significance. Our miserable child who has been detained for 251 days may have even more tears when watching this movie. After watching this movie, you know how the police officers who abide by the law and popularize the law behave, how the lawyers maintain legal justice, and what an ideal country under the rule of law looks like.
