What kind of child speaks Esperanto?

Watching this film is also very accidental. I heard that there are fragments of Esperanto dialogues in it, eh~ Esperanto?

This is not the main theme of joy, nor the non-mainstream of disaster. It is just that my father wants to adhere to his own worldview, and when he walked out of the paradise he created and faced various challenges outside, he felt that his values ​​had been impacted.

"I feel my value is under attack", sounds familiar, isn't it Dawes from Hacksaw Ridge? Daws believed in God, and in the face of various death situations, as long as he insisted on his beliefs, he didn't have to do anything, and God could always save him from danger (relying on his father's relationship, and of course, physical strength later).

The Captain's father here also has his own beliefs. He believes in the illusion of American democracy, the corruption under the surface of capitalism, the humanitarian struggle of Chomsky, and the self-sufficient way of life. Therefore, what he teaches children are practical skills that can make them "prepared", such as all-round development of morality, intelligence, physicality and beauty, such as hunting and killing deer, shooting sheep, climbing mountains and rock climbing, quantum entanglement, Planck time, dialectics Materialism, what the Powers of Freedom Act, fascism,. . . Listening to classical music and playing various musical instruments is not a "Friday" on a deserted island at all.

The father treats each child as a whole, equal, and intellectually sound individual, who does not fool or lie. He knew that in the face of power, he should give in. He told the children "some fights you can't win", but in the end he came out of heaven and went to the funeral to disrupt "mission: rescue mom", because this decision was not made by him alone, It was decided together after interacting with these independent thoughts.

My favorite episode is about my daughter's evaluation of the book "Lolita" before and after the Esperanto dialogue. At the beginning, the daughter said the book was "interesting", and the father said the word "illegal" was "non-word" (similar to "hehe" in the Chinese context), and asked her to express her views in detail, while the daughter If you really do it, if you say it, it is called "insightful". (To sum it up: an old man fell in love with a 12-year-old girl, this book is from the perspective of an old man, making people feel the same way and feel that his love is beautiful; however, he is actually a child-molester, raped her, although it is outrageous wrong , but made people sympathize with him.) Then the younger 8-year-old daughter asked what is rape, what is intercourse, why penis penetrates into vagina, etc. Embarrassing questions that parents usually avoid talking about, but Captain The father's face was red and his heart was not beating. It can be seen from here that his education method is not to "protect" children with "tell white lies". It is too out of tune with the secular, how can it not encounter collision?

Esperanto does not play a role in promoting the plot in the film, but it is not bad for pretending to show the style of these children.

With Esperanto dialogue:

Mankas al mi panjo
I miss my mother

Mi deziras, ke panjo povus reveni hejmen ĝuste nun I
really hope my mother will come back soon

No. No esperanto. I'm not joking.
No, don't speak Esperanto, I mean

Domaĝe
So annoying

Jes, domaĝe
is, so annoying

No foreign language unless the language is spoken by all.
