Although "Cheers" is a black-and-white film, it tells a short story from Eastern Europe in the mid-19th century, but it alludes to modern times, but uses more exaggerated techniques, but it is so realistic, so he exaggerated with realistic techniques Alluding to modern civilization. The content of the story is nothing. A policeman took his son to hunt down an escaped gypsy slave. This policeman was originally a revolutionary. He wanted to change the world. He despised the dignitaries and missionaries, spitting at them where they could not see. But when he really met them, he kissed the back of their hands. He cursed the gypsies as crows and rats, but after catching the gypsies he kept him on the horseback until he was almost at the destination. He dragged the rope to run with the horse in order to gain sympathy, and also gave him alcohol and meat on the way, and patted his chest to promise to help him intercede... What was the revolution for? It is for the disadvantaged groups to be able to speak out, but if there is no change within the system, the success of the revolution is only to change a wave of power to continue to commit atrocities, but what did those revolutionaries fight for? In order not to be oppressed anymore? To pick up your dignity? Neither, really, they are not for themselves... At the end of the film, the father said to his son, I can only do that You enter the army, you will participate in one or two wars, and then become a commander...

  • Costandin: Lifeless out of life, life out of lifeless.

  • The Priest: Each nation has its purpose. The Jews, to cheat, the Turks, to do harm, us Romanians to love and suffer like Christ. And each has their habits. Hebrews reads a lot, Greeks talks a lot, Turks has many wives, Arabs has many teeth, Germans smokes a lot, Hungarians eats a lot, Russians drinks a lot, English thinks a lot, French likes fashion a lot, Armenians are lazy, Circassians wears much lace, Italians lies a lot, Serbians cheats a lot, Gypsies get beaten! Gypsies must be slaves.
