About betrayal

In 2000, Harbin was not as popular as it is now to watch movies, but I was almost obsessed with the movies in 1999-00 because I was in love at that time.
It was a colleague who recommended me to watch this movie, and dragged my boyfriend to join in.
The story itself isn't that compelling, but it's a film that keeps you going.
Investigating a bloody case, with the deepening of the case, the mystery is revealed little by little. People do whatever they can for their desires, and the despicableness of human nature can be seen everywhere. When she was a young female officer, she was revenge for her excellence and was gang-raped. However, what really hurt and defeated her was not the event itself, but her father's betrayal.
At that time, I did not understand the true meaning of betrayal. Is betrayal more intolerable than inhuman torture?

Recently, I have been thinking about the "betrayal" a lot, and because of this, I feel that I understand the essence of this film more and more. Besides betrayal, what else is unbearable?
How can you face life with enthusiasm if the person you trust most betrays you? Your pillar has collapsed, what can you hope for? People need belief and rely on, and no one can exist independently in society.
The destructiveness of betrayal can be immeasurable.
Everything in this world is relative, and if there is sincerity, there will be betrayal.
If the betrayal is unavoidable, I hope I don't know.

    I still like the way Travolta plays in reverse.

    Old film, what does adding a UC in front of it mean?

The General's Daughter quotes

  • [Brenner watches another tape of one of Elisabeth Campbell's teachings]

    Capt. Elisabeth Campbell: The human eye can distinguish 16 shades of gray. A computer image processor analyzing a fingerprint can distinguish 256 shades of gray, which is impressive. The human heart, mind, and soul, however, can distinguish an infinite number of emotional, psychological, and moral shadings. In Psy Ops we deal with the blackest of black and the whitest of white. Thank you.

  • [General Campbell pays a final visit to Brenner before leaving the country]

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Remember, when I asked you if you were a cop or a soldier?

    Brenner: Yes, sir.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Well, you're a soldier, Paul... and a damn fine one.

    Brenner: [General Campbell salutes Brenner before walking off, as Brenner follows] General Campbell. You're wrong. I'm a rotten soldier.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Oh? And why is that?

    Brenner: You really don't get it, do you? The only mind Elisabeth wanted to fuck with, was yours.
