Respect for real people

No rage, no ups and downs, but it's a wonderful film. When the principles and rules are about to be broken, persistence shows its significance. Recalling Apple's persistence in the face of the US government some time ago, and then seeing what Donovan said when he appealed for Abel The statement brought tears to my eyes, and I thought it was the best statement of work ethic.
Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks, and Donovan's expression on the bridge when he sees Abel being pushed into the back seat without a hug is textbook, and what he said to Ball on the plane Maybe that's what he wanted to say to all those who misunderstood him and hated him before. Walking alone, facing the gaze of a stranger on the bus twice, even though the content of the two gazes was different, Donovan just insisted on himself. Finally, the momentary frown when he saw a group of young people jumping over the barbed wire from the car window showed his feelings and greatness even more.
Thinking that this is a film based on real events can not help but awe for the real Donovan. Even if the film has the suspicion of chicken soup, it still does not affect its color and fragrance!

    ★★★☆The main theme of Spielber’s format is as usual without any surprises, and for Tom Hanks’ acting, this role is not challenging. Had it not been for my big Coen brothers to add some material to the script, this would be another sleepy "Lincoln"

    The main theme, American Chicken Soup, uses our jargon to promote the core values ​​of socialism. So if Spielberg is American Han Sanping, then Tom Hanks should be Hollywood Tang Guoqiang.
