Slightly embarrassed to admit that I shed a lot of tears when I brushed it. I have always felt that some parts of my values are old-school, and Rowling's is also. So her creations can always poke some points deep in my heart. In each of her stories, there is naturally an evil side and a righteous side. It’s just that the word “justice” is always not accurate enough. It is better to say that there is always love in the heart: because there is love, there is faith; only when you have courage in faith, you can insist on facing all evil, no matter how evil. Powerful-in my understanding, this runs through the core theme of all Rowling's works. And the focus of each part is not exactly the same. In this book, love is "empathy" and "equal treatment." An extremely contagious part of the movie is Newt's love of animals.
If you don’t look at these animals with love, they may be just terrible. Even the naughty Bowtruckle tree guard is actually a setting that digs people's eyes, which makes people feel a little scared), crazy (Erumpent in estrus), troublesome (Niffler sniff and Demiguise stealth beast), and A little disgusting (such as the Billywig Billy Wig bug and the murtlap Motra rat that bit the baker), or just valuable (the beautiful Occamy that can become huge, with silver scales and egg shells) . That's how the group of people in the U.S. Wizards Congress treats animals-animals are just some "others", which will cause trouble to protect the identities of wizards from being exposed. So they banned the existence of magical animals in New York, thinking that the city belongs only to themselves and humans; they also arrested people who keep animals (what a strange charge); they also deceived themselves under the slight instigation of the security minister who pretended to be Grindelwald. Believe that the murderer is not the silent beast, but a certain escaped animal.
However, for Newt, these animals are just a group with their own instincts, and these instincts are not good or bad or good or bad. The reason why Erumpent runs rampant is only because she needs to mate during the estrus period, so it’s good to imitate the courtship dance of her family to tame and appease her; for the mischief, Newt just tirelessly educates her parents as they did to their children. , Manage and clean up the mess-if a child makes an unknowing mistake (...not a "mistake that all men make"), can you really think that the child is heinous? For those fierce ones, they are only raised and nurtured according to their nature: when natural needs are met and they are in a suitable environment, what reason do they have to attack humans? From Newt's perspective, these magical creatures may be powerful, but they can't actually fight against a large number of people who are not necessarily well-intentioned. So when Tina and the others were chattering about the animal running away and possibly hurting people, only Newt was on the side of the weak. Yes, when we do not enter the perspective of "the value of life and social stability of humans/witches is greater than the freedom of survival of animals", it is actually easy to judge who is the weak and who needs protection.
One of the plots particularly impressed me, and I only understood it during the second brush: Grindelwald inspected Newt’s box and found the silent beast separated from the Sudanese girl. His evaluation was "useless" ",Useless. When Newt heard this word, his expression was shocked. He said, so what do you need to use it to counteract the harmful power of the host? ! ——In the movie, many of Grindelwald’s views seem to be correct, at least worthy of debate; however, we still think he is evil, precisely because of such a small but very important point : When we want to use and use certain forces to achieve our own goals, are we going for the so-called "bigger goal", disregarding the suffering of others or even sacrificing others? Will we be more enthusiastic about our goals than we care about a certain real pain and life, whether or not this life has a close relationship with us?
In my own perception, when we think that a life is "can be sacrificed", "equality" has disappeared. That life becomes an object that can be used. This inequality and materialization is the origin of all evil. In Grindelwald’s world view, for his own goals, Credence can be deceived, can be abandoned, and can be praised and greeted again because of reassessment of power; and colleagues such as Tina, because they may get in the way, can The death penalty is easily used-no matter how great and correct the goal sounds, if such a mentality breeds, it is worthy of our vigilance. On the other hand, this time, many people didn't like Tina, an old-fashioned Auror, but it happened to be the opposite of Grindelwald. I was a little impatient with her when I first brushed it. I often found her to be embarrassingly staid, but when I brushed it second, I really liked her. Does she love her job? Very passionate. Even though she had been driven out of the team except the Auror, she still insisted on stalking the second Semler, and insisted on arresting him when she spotted a "outlaw" like Newt, and so on. Her sense of justice and responsibility made her completely ignorant of other people's disdain for her, and insisted on doing what she felt was right again and again (when she captured Newt, the President of Congress complained about how she came again, which can be seen It's not the first time to do this). And during the dinner scene of the four, it can be seen that Queenie is also very proud of her sister's career.
But how can such a persistent person lose the job that he loves and is proud of? It's because of Credence. In order for the foster child to be abused by the adoptive mother, the Auror, who was supposed to be the ruler, violated the wizarding rules and attacked the adoptive mother in front of the crowd. Of course, it can be said that she is emotionally useless, but think about her love of her profession and observance of the rules (even the landlord does not allow her to take male friends home, and she obeys it, except for "big events" like Newt. In other words, Tina's professional sensitivity is actually really great, like it), you can find that the sympathy for Credence is such an overwhelming force in Tina's heart-this can also explain why Tina is under the death penalty Previously, a lot of shots about Credence appeared in the meditation pool. Because for her, this should be really important and worthwhile. Similarly, when Newt threw down his box in order to save Credence, all his beloved animals and the precious manuscript written out of exhausting experience, it was based on the same psychology.
Isn’t it the coolest thing when a person can sacrifice something that he thinks is the most important for another person he never knows, even a weird and weak person who is looked down upon by many people? If Tina lost the job for her sister or friend, this is easy to understand, because there is a strong emotional motivation behind it; but when Tina puts the protection of Credence above the profession she loves, she lets I understand a little bit more about equal care for other life individuals, regardless of whether these lives have an intimate intersection with myself.
Such values are what Newt and Tina share, and they are what Queenie said. They are both givers. And the basis they can give is not how strong they are, how high their status, or how much property they have, but because they have a deep belief in the equality of life in their hearts. When these beliefs are expressed in their daily lives, they become love for others or other creatures, perseverance and courage to fight evil, and a kind of love that is the same for all different races and groups. This is what moved me deeply by this movie.
