I have a dream that one day, on the red hills of Georgia, the slaves of former slaves The son can sit at the same table with the son of the former slave owner and be like siblings.
I have a dream that one day my four children will live in a country that is not judged by the color of the skin, but by the quality of character... ..."
- August 23, 1963, "I have a dream" Martin Luther King Jr.
allowed me to bring up "I have a dream" again, which has been reverberating so strongly in my mind lately...
just halfway through A month later, goodbye Spielberg, after winning the Oscar after "War Horse" in 2011, as expected, the excellent production, the narration is very kind, but still lingering the tall and sacred aura of Lincoln's sculpture, a piece of American The history, the depth, the greatness and the weight of it cannot be conveyed by words.
In 2006, Abraham Lincoln was rated as the top 100 people who influenced the United States by The Atlantic Monthly. In the hearts of Americans, his greatness even surpassed that of the father of the country, Washington and "state monopoly capitalism", led World War II, and was re-elected for 4 terms. Little Roosevelt. As a poor president, the first president to be assassinated, Lincoln issued the "most honest" credit currency in American history - the president of Lincoln Green Coin, both the liberator of black slaves and the defender of people's wealth, More on the trailblazers on the road to freedom.
This film captures the last four months before Lincoln's assassination, from the Battle of Gettysburg to the passage of the 13th Amendment, and I am struck by the mortal side of Lincoln himself that the film seeks to convey, on which the United States of America depends. A superstructure from rise to prosperity to domination. What is democracy? It is neither Confucius' simple and rude "benevolence" nor Han Fei's tough and stubborn "law". I have never understood its true meaning, but its realization must be based on a sound rule of law, with the House of Representatives as its foundation. For example, people can advocate their views through debate, they can change their democratic republic at any time, they can be radical and conservative, and they allow wooing and buying, but all their actions are so firm that they revolve around natural law, following in the footsteps of Cicero, and everything is in the law Within the framework, adhere to the founding creed and remember that all people are created equal. Even though Congress can be manipulated by interest groups, what we have seen in America is still in the best interests of the country, not the government. Even though Lincoln had the right to war that was robbed from Congress (required in the first year of high school History, the right to declare war and peace belongs to Congress), and was therefore ridiculed by the Democratic Party as a tyrant dictator, he still had to be amended by Congress, and For the expansion of power in extraordinary times, the use of such respect for legal principles, even if disaster strikes, will not dare to overstep the slightest, if one day I will have such a kind of innate conscious reverence for "law" in my country, I believe It is also not far from attainable democracy.
Of course, this film should be very pure in English, but unfortunately there are too many professional terms and slang words, the dialogue is long, the speed of speech is fast, and it may be very painful to watch the subtitles.
As a citizen of an enemy country, just like "No Country for Old Men", I definitely don't understand a lot of imagery, and this film doesn't touch me too much, but as far as the film itself is concerned, it can write a film for the nation's greatest hero. The biography is enough to make the world unforgettable.
It is very exciting, and it is definitely a masterpiece, but it is estimated that it is not easy for Chinese people to understand it. I do not recommend it to mainland audiences. Consider collecting it.
