Zola's conscience

#观影录# A long time ago, in the articles of Zhu Xueqin, Wang Kailing, Lin Xianzhi, Linda and others, I read the famous open letter of writer Zola that was like a dagger like a bomb. "In the name of mankind, let the sun shine on the tortured people, and people have the right to be happy. My fierce protest is just a cry from my soul. If you dare to summon me to court, let them do it, let The trial will be held in broad daylight! I am waiting.” In the seventh year after Zola’s death, the Dreyfus case was reevaluated again, and the client was given late innocence twelve years later. Zola did not wait for this day. In his dream four years ago, he died because of gas poisoning caused by construction rubble blocking the fireplace flue. At the funeral, Franc said, "He is a moment of human conscience." Six years after Zola's death, France carried out a state funeral for him and moved him to the Pantheon. Mark Twain, who was known for his sharp teeth all his life, wrote: "Some churches and military courts are mostly composed of cowards, hypocrites, and protagonists; such people can create a million in a year. And it takes five hundred years to create a Joan of Arc or a Zola!" Well, five hundred years, a very good number, is also the time limit for other big people to renew their contracts with God. In this movie, the chubby Zola also showed up, contributing to the scene that made the decent and the villain excited. But in this movie, the real protagonist is a colonel. It is his unwillingness to violate his conscience and his sincere love for the country that played a huge role in reversing this almost iron case. ——Only by reading more books and more movies can we understand history, life, and human nature more calmly. Aqiang, continue.

    1. The sign of a striking patriarchal social structure is that all men have the same uniform/hairstyle/tone and even the same raised mustache. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, it at least tells us that this is a way of eradicating differences, killing individuality and emphasizing commonalities. A society that emphasizes grandiose positions, such as nationalist positions. Because of this, any effort to defend an individual seems so humble and even insignificant. 2. How easily prejudice inspires hatred, and how easily human beings are blinded by hatred. Violence in the name of justice that runs through our history, our networks.

    Polanski's sophistication is that he allows an outsider in the system to "put himself in the shoes", and then turns the inquisitors into investigators and the wronged prisoners to achieve spiritual unity, loudly resisting against power, the system, and public opinion, but ends up using It is the difference between the two after they return to the system. Polanski is calm and thoughtful. "Complaining" does not need to shout loudly, but only needs to show the facts of what he has suffered. He makes the audience become the judge and also allows the audience to sit in the dock and think about their position in the incident, a kind of Qianfan's exhausted relief came out through the gloomy tones of the oil painting—he was naturally not surprised by this turmoil.
