brainwashing

Simplified Chinese name: Beacon Fire and Red Flames
English Name: reds
This film has a wonderful dialogue in about ten minutes from the beginning,
that is, the heroine is transformed from the role of the interviewee to the object of indoctrination.
I don't particularly want to comment on the cinematic technique itself, which keeps appearing in the coffee scene,
but the word brainwashing comes to my mind.

Values ​​are like a group of color gas suspended on each of our heads. Generally speaking, it will follow people's walks in the rivers and lakes; knowledge and experience are affected to some extent - some of them were previously affirmed and denied; some were previously recognized Yes, I slowly agree...

But the so-called brainwashing, vividly speaking, is that a certain piece of this gas, as if it was cut by a knife, suddenly changed its original shape.

Brainwashing is a completely neutral verb - if you recite a lot of words, improving your knowledge counts as brainwashing.
From the beginning of the Year of Doubt, it is not easy for people to be brainwashed. Of course, the speed of accepting new things is also slow.
So learning must start from the doll. If a person is still ignorant in the age of ignorance---the correct values ​​in the future will basically have no chance to come into contact with them.

To live is to be dazed, to die is to die in vain—this life is in vain.

The brainwashing environment incorporates subjective and objective factors, internal and external factors. People who have the desire to know are easy to be brainwashed; people with charisma, even if they are purely physical, are more likely to be brainwashed. The content is important, but it also depends on the willingness and absorptive capacity of the receptor.

I don't really want to teach other people how to brainwash or hypnotize. On the contrary, I want to warn many friends not to be easily fooled. Of course, don't easily become wary, you can't listen to it, and don't respond to it when you watch it.

    1981 was not such a great year for movies. This one should have won the Oscar for Best Picture. I love Diane Keaton.

    Regardless of the content, the super-fast speech and super-informative dialogue are enough to attract attention. Politics is ultimately a pain in the ass. "A great cause is ahead, worth living and dying for", "Is he a socialist, many of them are idealists"

Reds quotes

  • Louise Bryant: Boy, you've become quite the critic, haven't you, gene? Just leaned back and analyzed us all. Duplicitous women who tout free love and then get married, power-mad journalists who join the revolution instead of observing it, middle-class radicals who come looking for sex and then talk about Russia. It must seem so contemptible to a man like you who has the courage to sit on his ass and observe human inadequacy from the inside of a bottle. Well, I've never seen you do anything for anyone. I've never seen you give anything to anyone, so I can understand why you might suspect the motives of those who have. But whatever Jack's motives are, how...

    Eugene O'Neill: I seem to have touched a wound.

  • Government Agent: I don't suppose there's a chance of you being a Bolshevik agitator, is there?

    Louise Bryant: Why don't you just look around, and see how agitated you get?
