What impressed me most in the movie was when the Soviet Union attacked the Hungarian capital Budapest for the second time, the Hungarian radio station sent a helpless cry for help to the world: the Soviet army wants to destroy us! People all over the world, we need help! We don't promise...we act! SOS for help! SOS for help! SOS for help!
The above is the broadcast version from the movie, and the following is the
first version of the relevant historical material I found on the Internet :
"I am Imre Nagy, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Hungary. The Soviet army has begun to attack the capital this morning in a blatant attempt to overthrow the The legitimate democratic government of Hungary, our army is fighting, the government still exists. I inform the Hungarian people and the world about this situation." After
Nagy's speech, the broadcast was followed by the shocking appeal of the famous Hungarian writer Hay: "I call for help to the world, to the intellectuals of the world! Please help us!"
Version 2:
Najib made his final address to the nation, "At dawn today, the Soviet army began to attack our capital, and its obvious The intention is to overthrow the legitimate democratic government of Hungary." The Hungarian army did not resist. 15 minutes later, the forces of 17 Soviet divisions launched a military operation code-named "Strong Wind" towards Budapest.
War and peace are eternal topics of mankind, and the history of mankind is also a history of war. Most of the people who clamor for the use of force to resolve disputes are people who have never really experienced war, especially in this era of constantly escalating weapon power. War is a scar that can never be removed by human beings. There is a risk that the wound will tear and the old one will recur. From October 23 to November 4, 1956, what kind of catastrophe and humiliation the Hungarian people experienced. In this country that shouted "if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away", some people helplessly asked the world for help, But alone, the whole world is watching Hungary, but the whole world can only watch them being completely suppressed under the fire of tanks. It was not until more than 30 years later that this bloody "counter-revolutionary" movement was renamed "a people's uprising" in Hungary.
In my opinion, whether it is under the banner of "liberating all mankind" or pretending to be "the police of the world", it is just a legitimate excuse and identity for the power to intervene and rule all under the power. The fear of power will also lead to the worship of power. Behind every fear of power is an ideal of becoming a power. Humans are always happy to play the game of power division and seizure, and the acquisition of power is always accompanied by the price of blood and fire. , each force expects to leave the price to others and seize power by itself. This is also why human beings are afraid to see the birth of any power, fear for no reason.
Interestingly, I have been inundated with the news of the Olympics recently. I didn’t expect that I still didn’t escape the Olympics when I watched this movie. The Olympics during the Cold War were inevitably marked with politics. The water polo battle between Hungary and the Soviet Union in the 1956 Olympics reminded me of Iran's 2-1 victory over the United States in the 1998 World Cup group stage "kick" to break the iceberg. Back to the ping-pong diplomacy between China and the United States in 1971, seemingly pure sports are often one of the effective means of politics and diplomacy. Today, the Olympic Games also carry the significance of the rise of a great power. The Olympic Committee has repeatedly emphasized its opposition to the politicization of the Olympic Games. I am afraid that it is also worried about the increasingly obvious influence and interference of politics on sports, which has led to the Olympic Games becoming another political battlefield. From the perspective of competition, sports itself is pure, as long as it is not given too much meaning by people subjectively, it can even serve as a buffer zone for disputes and diplomacy, so as to simply resolve conflicts.
If some political conflicts and prejudices can be resolved in sports communication, then "politicization" is positive. But if sports are used to create political conflict and prejudice, "politicization" is negative. Therefore, "politicization" cannot be generalized. We encourage the positive and oppose the negative. This is the way for sports to truly develop towards a healthy development, because to make sports completely and politically decisive, I am afraid it can only be an ideal. Back in 1956, looking back at the water polo semi-finals between Hungary and the Soviet Union at that Olympic Games, and re-examining the Cold War tragedy of the Hungarian incident, history will always warn the future, and history will never be forgotten.
