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.

The General's Daughter quotes

  • [Colonel Fowler asks Brenner for a favor in his investigation]

    Col. George Fowler: Mr. Brenner. I understand you have special arrest powers.

    Brenner: Yes, sir.

    Col. George Fowler: But I'm going to ask before you arrest anyone, you notify me.

    Brenner: Why is that, sir?

    Col. George Fowler: We don't like our personnel being arrested by outside people without our knowing about it. There are three ways of doing things - The right way, the wrong way, and the Army way. See that in doing it your way, Mr. Brenner, you don't forget about the Army way.

  • [Sunhill and Brenner watch a tape of one of Elisabeth Campbell's teachings]

    Capt. Elisabeth Campbell: [the tape plays] Our job here at Psy Ops is to panic the enemy, to blunt his will to fight. A Psy Operator must know the customs and habits of the enemy, the current dissensions, anxieties, and fears to determine vulnerability. To engage the enemy, you must know the enemy inside out. You must fill him with fear, and not just fear of dying. Fear of grotesque wounds is much more terrifying.

    Sunhill: [Sunhill stops the tape] Ugh. Grotesque wounds.

    Brenner: [Brenner smiles] I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
