Razor, it turns out that my understanding of this English word is limited to razors, and at best it is not a sharp blade. I only learned today that Razor, it turned out to be a sharp edge, is cruel, and is synonymous with cruelty that almost ignores blood.
I think I haven't watched movies for a long time, especially the kind of science fiction movies that can fully arouse my interest. I always search for the latest hot movies on the Internet with hope, and then close Internet Explorer disappointed. Until yesterday at noon, I just got up groggy from the bed, turned on the computer dazedly, watched the Internet, and suddenly found this movie:
"Battlestar Galactica: Razor" ("Battlestar Galactica: Razor") .
At the beginning, I just clicked on it with the mood of just looking at it. However, as the plot developed step by step, I was also attracted little by little, and I finished watching the movie in a satisfied and somewhat surprised manner. The ending song has already sounded, and I am still immersed in the dialogue inside and savoring it.
I can't help but suddenly think of my final thesis for my elective course. It is better to write this movie if I have an impulse. I searched the Internet for information about this movie, reviews, and other related things. I was surprised to find that the long sleep has almost isolated me from the outside world. The news was so blocked that I didn't even know that there was a "Battlestar". Very popular American drama, and "Razor" is only an episode in it. Regarding the plot, I don't want to mention too much. Interested friends can find this film to see it.
Although it is a science fiction film about war, it is more about dialogue, communication, thinking, and brief silence and sighs between people. How to say it, it is a philosophical film, it seems to have a high hat, but I personally think that dialogue is the real highlight and attraction of this film.
"Like I said, you make choices and you live with them. And in the end, you are those choices."-Kendra Shaw,
StarBuck playing with the Razor Shaw gave her. . The tone of voice, like very obscure words, is quite deep. When Shaw first joined the army, he was an ideal young man. She wants to be the commander of the entire Scorpion fleet. However, as soon as I arrived at Pegasus to report, the entire Scorpion fleet was destroyed in the Cylons raid. Pegasus jumped in an emergency space and escaped. Shaw was appointed by Admiral Cain to work in the CIC (command room), allowing him to get close to Cain. Shaw's choices when faced with many things later were influenced by Cain's iron-blooded style. And probably only she herself understands how difficult it is to make a choice, especially in wartime, at the most urgent moment, or even a casual choice, which can make many decisions. And at the moment you make a choice, your choice becomes your destiny, and even more people's destiny.
"All this has happend before and it will happen again."
When he was young, Amada was just a fighter pilot. In the last battle of the first war against Cylons, he found a place, and it was everywhere inside. It's human biological organs, residual limbs, etc., indicating that Cylons is conducting some kind of secret research there. When he went in and saw everything inside, he heard a very deep voice, saying the sentence above. There are comments on the Internet that, in a sense, it alludes to experiments with living people during the war in the real world. I think that putting aside the insinuation of reality, I don't care about it. I think this sentence alone has already expressed a lot of meaning.
What is history? I have read a lot of history books, especially the ancient history of China. I can’t remember many details, but the only thing I remember is that this dynasty is not essentially different from its next dynasty. As the saying goes, "changing the soup without changing the medicine", it just changed. The name of the dynasty changed the ruler. Other than that, what's the difference? What happened before will reappear in another form that makes you feel familiar but different. Probably, this is the reincarnation of history. We, every individual and every society, cannot escape the fate.
"Sometimes we have to leave people behind so that we can go on, so that we can continue to fight." - Admiral Cain
This is Cain had said, my favorite word. The person who can say this, you can say that he is cruel and ruthless, and that doesn't wrong him at all. However, I still want to defend him. What should I defend? This sentence tells the truth about the evolution of life forms. Put aside everything that is not advanced, and work hard!
In life, we have too much to consider, too many scruples, and too many worries. All of these have become the fetters of our progress. The Buddha said that you must know how to let go. Lao Tzu also expressed a similar meaning in his book. Of course, what the Buddha said and what Cain said are definitely not in the same context, or refer to the same kind of thing or phenomenon, but I think that both express the same meaning. Only by letting go, and willing to open up, can there be greater returns, greater progress, and greater achievements. Sometimes this is shown as a kind of ruthlessness, sometimes it is ridiculed as madness, and sometimes it is respected as enlightened.
"When you can be this for as long as you have to be, then you are a razor."
——Admiral Cain
When Shaw shot and killed the family of a civilian who refused to obey the order, the whole incident died down. The general's order was absolutely carried out. However, for Shaw, this is definitely an act in her life to confess for her life. However, in the face of the situation at the time, this was a necessary decision and a decision had to be made. During the war, as a soldier, military orders were his bounden duty. There is no emotion, there is not much right or wrong, all you have to do is to consider the whole thing, and then make the most correct choice with the greatest victory as the fundamental goal, even if the blood is flowing, it will not hesitate. Only in this way can I become a Razor and be able to win.
The last sentence, "History will have to make its judgements."-Amada.
Yes, everyone, no matter what he is, has done such an amazing thing, it is still insignificant after all. Our judgements are just our own, without any practical significance. The true judgment must be made by history. Only history has such a qualification, such a mind, and such a wise thinking, to write an inscription that truly belongs to a person's life on his tombstone without prejudice.
History will repeat itself. Today is tomorrow, and tomorrow may be yesterday. If it is me, how can I do it? I don't know, but I choose to be Razor. I want to be a sharp blade, invincible, and cut everything I can. Comment, although leave it to history for interpretation. As a soldier, I have to do everything I should do.
