Rashomon

Yes, you did not go wrong. I just finished watching "Rashomon" late night, and after watching this today, I feel that some truths are similar.

After reading Rashomon, I said that there is only one truth, or there is no truth. Today I think about it, and I should change this to: There is indeed one truth, but everyone can't grasp the truth.

Rashomon is not a detective drama, so we can't find clues to restore the close truth. It discusses people's egoism that completely kills the truth.

In the killing of a robin, can this rape case be established? From various points of view, the defendant should be innocent, but being unjustly killed will probably tell people another truth: when the world is dominated by mankind, the truth is covered with people's prejudice and is destined to become an accessory of mankind.

It is actually quite similar to Rashomon: both sides are see-saw for their own interests. And what did the onlookers see? The whites mostly support whites, the blacks are mostly close to the blacks, and the jury is mostly white, so it is possible to sentence others to others with insufficient evidence. So let alone the parties, even the onlookers just see what they want to see and hear. Not many people are willing to put aside their prejudice, put down their identity, and put aside all kinds of objective evaluations of someone or something.

People are always too lazy to think and are used to the consensus reached by society. Adults beating children is to love and educate children, while adults beating their parents is not filial; men are strong, women are always weak; successful people are talking about golden rules, and poor people are talking nonsense... When people are active Think about it, let go of your opinions, and then the truth will emerge little by little.

If a society is unjust, can we also give unfair feedback to the society when we have to? Good people can be wronged, but bad people deserved to be wronged? I don't know that a society made up of people is too complicated and makes people uncertain.

    When it comes to racial discrimination, I think of the United States. The little girl's style reminds me of "Old Things in the South". The righteous Gregorian Pike is handsome~

    The first half is a childhood story in which everyone will have fantasies about bad and terrifying things. In the second half, the father’s court trial taught the children to understand the law, race, justice, and the meaning of life.

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Calpurnia: That boy is your company. And if he wants to eat up that tablecloth, you let him, you hear? And if you can't act fit to eat like folks, you can just set here and eat in the kitchen.

  • [to Dill about Miss Dubose]

    Jem: Listen, no matter what she says to you, don't answer her back. There's a Confederate pistol in her lap under her shawl and she'll kill you quick as look at you. Come on.
