Suspicion: Two Outcomes of Weak Struggle

Carey 2022-01-25 08:07:39

In the real life culture, "forbearance" does not seem to have a derogatory meaning, nor is it disgraceful. On the contrary, people who can "bear" are often considered to be "open-minded", "open-minded", and feel "blessed are those who can tolerate". As a result, people who can "bear" also feel that their attitude towards life is superior to others, so they feel good.

Just think about what happened to Kristen Collins, what happened to a "tolerant" person in China?

After getting a copycat son, you have to know how to "forbear". What's the point of making a fuss? Counterfeit goods are not so easy to find. People should know how to be grateful and not ask too much. If the police officers are more experienced, they will ask the relevant departments to give some subsidy every month, and find individuals to do ideological work.

What about Christine? Psychologically, taking the fake son as a real son and living a good life is far more "blessed" than going to a mental hospital, right? If I can do a little more, I will make a pennant to the relevant departments, so that everyone can know the hard work and achievements of the police. If this thought is realized, how happy and harmonious the result will be!

But not Christine. In a society where "the police fight against criminals only to reduce competition", she embarrassed the police because of a son, and she was not satisfied even after getting the copycat version. Such discordant people should be sent to a mental hospital.

After you have finished speaking the opposite, it is time to speak the truth, otherwise you will be wronged if you are scolded.

As an underdog, Christine's struggles have propelled American society forward. The immediate effect was to suppress the corruption and tyranny of the police at that time, and the long-term effect was to amend the laws at that time, for example, "citizens shall not be sent to mental hospitals for subjectively determined reasons."

The progress of society is seldom through the self-improvement of the strong, but more by the unyielding struggle of the weak.

However, it must be known that the result of the struggle of the weak is usually not "good will win over evil", but "sacrifice". If an unfair thing happened to you, would you have enough courage, backbone, and blood to fight at the risk of being sent to a mental hospital? Or adopt a higher life attitude of "forbearance" in exchange for that pitiful and false happiness?

Finally, I have to talk about three very typical characters in this movie.

Person 1: Gustav (identity: priest)
Without his active and enthusiastic support for Christine, Christine could not have achieved the final victory.

Person 2: Unknown lawyer (identity: lawyer)
Gustav volunteered to fight for Christine when he couldn't afford the best lawyer. What is his name, the movie doesn't seem to say.

Character 3: Rice (identity: police officer)
It was he who did not take the Winewell Farm case lightly, nor let it go under the pressure of his superiors, and finally found the murderer of the child.

The identities of these three people have obvious meanings. Without these three people performing their own duties and doing their part for the disadvantaged, the result of Christine's struggle can only be sacrifice.

Of course, there are other typical characters in the movie, such as the attending doctor and the nurses in the mental hospital, and the lawyer who can't afford to show his face. . .

So, maybe we don't have the blood and backbone to stand up and fight. . . But, if anyone had, which of the above "typical people" would you choose to be?

Maybe we can't help anything, but at least we can hold a sign in solidarity like the people in the movie.

    The American Dream's place in the hearts of Americans may really not be underestimated. Although the story of the main theme is always good and evil, it does not necessarily end in a happy ending. Reality has its objectivity. The search process is to make up for her negligence, and the so-called responsibility is probably here. In the process, it is the mind that grows.

    Very depressing subject, Julie is so beautiful

Changeling quotes

  • Reporter at Precinct: [as Northcott is being taken into custody] How did you avoid capture?

    Gordon Northcott: Well, I didn't, did I?

  • [last lines]

    Christine Collins: Three boys made a run for it that night, detective, and if one got out, then maybe either or both of the other two did too. Maybe Walter's out there having the same fears that he did. Afraid to come home and identify himself, or afraid to get in trouble. But either way, it gives me something I didn't have before today.

    Detective Lester Ybarra: What's that?

    Christine Collins: Hope.
