This story is adapted from real people and real stories. An American soldier was originally a long-distance runner. He joined the Air Force for his country in World War II. He was captured by the Japanese during a mission and started a long career as a prisoner of war. The soldiers were arranged to do coolies in the Japanese coal mines. They worked hard from morning to night, and were often lashed by Japanese officers. The coal was moved slowly, and the Japanese soldier's whip was slashed across his body, and the whole body was already black, with blood stains added one after another.
Such days continued until the end of the war. One day, the Japanese officer asked the prisoners of war to wash off the black cinder accumulated all the year round and escorted the American soldiers to the nearby creek. Americans think that this is their end. I also imagined the next plot: the original clear river was dyed black by them, and then the gunshot fired the river water again.
At the last moment, American soldiers stood in the water like black charcoal. Suddenly, an American plane symbolizing victory flew by. Everyone cheered suddenly. The Japanese soldier holding a gun next to him also put down the gun and relaxed his expression.
The war is really over. The originally hideous Japanese, at this moment, have also restored their original kindness.
Taking off their military uniforms, they were actually teenagers, but the war turned them into terrible killers.
I suddenly remembered a failed interview. Sitting in front of a group of professors at the top of the school’s food chain, a professor seemed not to give face, and kept asking strange questions,
“Does your research make sense? I don’t see it”
“Your research can’t change anything, why do you still do it it "
" do not stop me, I will continue to ask, in the end in what sense? "
about my sense of discipline where, I think for many years.
But I seemed to be irritated, I kept smiling, but my tone of voice was very high.
I said the last sentence "I think it makes sense." I have seen a professor with a surprised expression.
Probably in their position, no one would talk to them like this. Then I realized that I had fallen into the interviewer's trap again. They just want to see if you will be irritated.
I don't remember how I got out of that room. Fortunately, I didn't cry because I was still sitting outside waiting for the next round of interviewers.
After the interview, I also heard some comments about the professor. They were direct and unrelenting, or students who wanted to protect themselves. But these don’t seem to be important; since then, I happened to read Mrs. Thatcher’s autobiography. The young Thatcher once interviewed for a position and ended in failure. The reason given by the interviewer was, "This girl has too strong personality".
This irrelevant example has also become an inner comfort; Too strong personality, once thought to be one of his own strengths, is actually a huge shortcoming. Can society really allow people with strong personality to exist? I remembered the words of the college counselor saying "I think you are destined to be eliminated by society"; I have also thought about whether in the small town where I grew up, no one has shown weakness... If I become The interviewer must respect the person who comes to the interview, but I have to be a person who can interview others... Maybe some people hate me like this, the haters gonna hate, hate, hate... this It’s not the first time I failed. I didn’t take it seriously. This time it’s also because I have matured; but I am so old. Is the pace of maturity a bit slow...
this time? The sequelae of the interview lasted for more than half a year. I followed me from Houston to Wuhan and back to Houston from Wuhan; from Thatcher's autobiography to Feng Tang's novels; from breakfast cereals to hot milk before going to bed. I have derived a lot of thinking, a lot of self-blame, a lot of experience, a lot of emotions, but there is no chance again to test whether I have really learned anything. Why do you always get what you want in life? Hard work may not be rewarding, because others have worked hard.
Fortunately, all these things stopped in this movie. Seeing the scene at the end of the war, I suddenly understood that, maybe in that situation, the interviewer could only choose to be cruel to the people who came for the interview, because they wanted to choose the best person, and because it seemed to be human nature. Part.
I have been looking forward to the ending of this movie: When the American soldiers were preparing to go home, the Japanese soldiers who had bullied them ran over and patted them on the shoulders, saying that I’m sorry, buddies. We were enemies at the time, and I could only Choose to be cruel to you. Then the American laughed and said, "It's okay, I can understand. Now that the war is over, you are welcome to come to the United States to play."
I like Western movies because they are always discussing human nature. Human nature will have shortcomings. In some extreme situations, many people will also burst out of extreme humanity. Regardless of the culture, the real winners are those who can see human nature and remain innocent and sober at all times. When interviewers are interviewing, there should be someone with a better attitude and some with a worse attitude. According to the so-called folks, some people sing white faces and some people sing red faces. Those who come for the interview should be able to follow along no matter what role they sing.
Angelina Jolie, the director of the movie, certainly wouldn't let me guess the next plot casually. She arranged an Easter egg at the end of the film: The true protagonist of the story finally fulfilled her wish at the age of 80 and completed the Olympic torch relay in Japan. Many people around cheered for him, and he smiled and waved to the Japanese children. The country he hated extremely during this war has also become a neighbor in peace. And the protagonist of the story, from the experience of taking off the prisoner of war, is just an amiable old man.
It seems that this is really the case. Some people treat you badly, because under certain circumstances, he can only react like that. After a certain period of time has passed and the conflict of interest has dissipated, people will still show a kind side. How to acquire this kind of humanity is also a science. Since everyone sympathizes with the weak, then you can be a weak, a confident weak, or a proud weak.
