Human rights, professional ethics, personality

The movie tells the story of the Soviet spy Abel was arrested by the US government during the US-Soviet Cold War. At this time, the pilot Bauer, who was flying a US U2 reconnaissance plane, was arrested. The American lawyer Novan who defended Abel was met with great resistance. After Novan negotiated on behalf of the United States and the Soviet Union, the two sides reached an agreement to exchange hostages.
Abel, a Soviet spy who is in the enemy camp but calm and calm, and Novan, an American lawyer who fully defends foreign spies, are the two people who impress me in the film. The United States is world-renowned for the protection of human rights. When the law firm asked Novan to defend Abel, the Soviet spy, he had contradictions and hesitations, but after accepting the case, he showed us a professional lawyer with a noble personality. The opposition from family, Chinese and the media did not make him question his decision. After several exchanges with Abel, he understood Abel’s longing for his hometown and promised to let Abel return to his home country. After the arrest, he also offered to exchange hostages between the two parties, which had reached the minimum loss and rescued a student after negotiations. Abel was a Soviet spy, but the film did not create an evil, cold-blooded image. He has a special temperament, calm and persistent, and loves his country. He always says: "whathelp", it's not that he is fearless, but he is more calm than ordinary people. The film only reflects a small point of the confrontation between the two sides during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. History is undoubtedly heavy, but it is precisely because we bear history that mankind can move forward.
Human rights, professional ethics, personality. This is what I saw in this video, and it is worthy of our thinking. The issue of human rights is at the national level, and professional ethics and personality are inseparable from the lives and work of each of us. How many people can do professional ethics above all else like the protagonist? In the face of doubts and opposition from his family, he did not back down. The pressure from the media and society did not make him choose to give up. He was loyal to his profession. In the course of negotiations between the two sides, Novan’s noble personality was once again reflected. Every life is waiting. The price is equally important. There are so many shining points on him. Therefore, he is a true "standingman."
For each of us, the most important thing is to be able to stick to oneself in the right direction of life, to be able to do small things to realize the value of self in life.

Bridge of Spies quotes

  • Rudolf Abel: Standing there like that you reminded me of the man that used to come to our house when I was young. My father used to say: "watch this man'. So I did. Every time he came. And never once did he do anything remarkable.

    James Donovan: And I remind you of him?

    Rudolf Abel: This one time, I was at the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards. Dozens of them. My father was beaten, my mother was beaten, and this man, my father's friend, he was beaten. And I watched this man. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. So they hit him harder. Still he got back to his feet. I think because of this they stopped the beating. They let him live. "Stoit i muzhik," I remember them saying... "stoit i muzhik." Which sort of means like uh, 'standing man'. Standing man...
