Against that background, the fate of blacks was destined to be ruined, and a woman like Claire with a handsome face and a sweet and weak singing voice was destined to be trampled by men. In that era of inequality and craziness in human rights, huge tragedies seem to be normal. What kind of noble personality you can ask this era to shape, there are only violent, bloodthirsty, and lost inhumans.
I don't want to discuss the tragic nature of that era. Only enough patience or dullness to that tragic helplessness will not collapse. I want to discuss some superficial things, about the inner peace of people.
The reason why Claire's daughter was thrown to death by the soldier was that the noise of the child's screaming in the riot made the officer irritable and out of control. When Eddie was punished for shooting a black boy, his screaming and crying made the officer irrational. He turned around and shot the shot. The air suddenly calmed down. He explained this to his men as "fucking noise". His life is completely crazy because he has killed too many people by mistake and done too many unreasonable things. He is always well-dressed on the surface, but he will never get inner peace.
And Claire and Mangana, the absolutely disadvantaged group in that society, although Claire was entangled by the nightmares of the past every night, they stood on the beach and watched the rising sun unconsciously singing a beautiful melody. Even if the darkness stays forever, she can feel the awe-inspiring touch when the sun rises. She has become a stronger woman, enough to dispel the haze in her heart.
At that time, the white people's choiceless slaughter of blacks and their extermination contained too many complicated and profound factors. I can't easily answer them at this moment, but they must include the innate arrogance of white people.
People's self-righteous superiority and moody killing and plunder will eventually lead to self-destruction, which is deeply felt in every study of history. What can I really do to alleviate human guilt? Human beings do not shed tears without seeing the coffin. It is undoubtedly the sensitive and fragile people who are truly heartbroken. And what role these people can play, I am also deeply exploring.
I wish to be a person with endurance in this life, even if I am exhausted, I can have the faith to live.
