It's not good to fight a war, and it's even worse to use the revolution as a flag to fight a war

Reality, reality, reality, reality always exposes the scars for people to see.

Reagan's stubborn fear of the red flag being planted all over the Americas actually reached the point of ignoring the lives of the American people. So you see the cruelty of politics, not in every revolutionary bloodshed, but in the insignificance after the bloodshed. Sometimes, the kind of freedom and democracy that they advertised is no longer the dream of Martin Luther King Jr., but has become a one-way service to politicians.

The contradictory and decadent Richard was so fragile that he watched the blood spread, his friend John died, and his girlfriend Maria was sent back to the country in a ruthless manner. His weak voice seemed completely powerless, and all he could do was just watch these things happen. Even if the communist party he supports later wins the city, what he sees is -- "you all become them"

despair, there is this feeling, or that Americans use democracy to kill the value of other countries, Or the Communists use autocracy to stifle the aliens in their own country. What else could be done?
Stone is such a paradox, as in so many other works, as if he were Richard, watching Maria being savagely taken away by immigration and then spending his life Time will not find her back.

    "When you do this, you become like them" - there is still a slight difference between executing prisoners of war and killing civilians. However, people are always the same, even if you succeed, it's just a change of face. The difference is the system, the power structure. Some friends in the comments said that the protagonist has been criticizing the United States, but he escaped by relying on the United States, but the protagonist was not rescued by the justice of the United States, but by the hegemony of the United States. This hegemony can be the United States, the Soviet Union or other countries with strong regional influence.

    The director's helplessness and expectations for the world are often seen from the black background and white words at the end of the movie... It's heart-wrenching and can't be relieved. Oliver is like a ghost in Hamlet, constantly pushing his audience to find out the truth about the world.

Salvador quotes

  • María: I can't marry a divorced man!

    Richard Boyle: God!

    María: And you, Richard, are a bad Catholic in all ways.

    Richard Boyle: How am I a bad Catholic?

    María: You are living in sin. You drink!

    Richard Boyle: Okay, yeah, once in a while...

    María: You sleep with many women... Do you smoke marijuana?

    Richard Boyle: No, that was Rock! He's a troublemaker!

    María: And you lie. You scheming scum! What is good or decent about you? What redemption can you expect?

    Richard Boyle: Well none I guess, but look... okay you got a point, I am a fucking weasel, there's no doubt about that. But think about this... If I went to church, I haven't been to church in thirty years, but if I went and I took confession, and with the communion together that'd be great! We could go to Archbishop Romero, you know he knows me, he likes me very much. I could become his Catholic worker, that'd be wonderful, I could get a little basket and collect coins...

  • Richard Boyle: John! John! You crazy fucking stooge, you're not that magic!

    John Cassady: Today I am, Boyle.
