How great was once, how fragile is now

There is no doubt that the founders of the United States have created such a great country for us. The beginning of time is like the dawn of the earth, but it is undeniable that the United States is in decline, both culturally and politically. Since 9/11, the United States has been like a Overly frightened neurotic patients take the whole world and themselves into the abyss step by step The government has gained unprecedented power for nearly 200 years and then frantically drove the people into the abyss It is hard to think about what Trump has in common with their ancestors In addition to returning to the traditional isolationist culture, let's think about whether the United States has had a more outstanding cultural output since 2001. No 90s is not only the pinnacle of Chinese cultural undertakings, but also American Hollywood can no longer shoot this kind of thought-provoking. Films and traditionally serious media are also facing tighter government regulation such as the Telecommunications Act and a series of bills that further compress the First Amendment space. The lighthouse it preaches finally wishes the United States a speedy recovery and restoration of its former glory, just like the great Chinese nation.

    I didn't know the movie until I read Linda's book. But as far as the movie is concerned, it's okay. Freedom is always in human nature.

    Awesome! ! ! I was recommended this movie while watching "I have a dream too". How many people's hard work and efforts are behind every little bit of progress of the times

Amistad quotes

  • John Quincy Adams: How is it that a simple plain property issue should now find itself so ignobled as to be argued before the Supreme Court of the United States of America? I mean, do we fear that all courts which found for as easily somehow missed the truth, is that it? Or is it rather our great and consuming fear of Civil War that has allowed us to heap symbolism upon a simple case than ever has been? And now it would have us disregard truth, even as it stands before us tall and proud as a man. The truth... the truth, has been driven from this case like a slave from court to court, wretched and destitute.

  • John C. Calhoun: We are inferior in one area: we're not as proficient in the art of gain. We're not as wealthy as our northern neighbors. We're still struggling. Take away our life's blood now, and... well, we all know what happens then. North and South. They become the masters, and we the slaves. But not without a fight!

    [the other dinner guests are momentarily silenced]

    Martin Van Buren: Senator Calhoun is being modest. He's not inferior in another area, the art of exaggeration.

    John C. Calhoun: Ask yourself, Senor Calderon. What court wants to be responsible for the spark that ignites the firestorm? What President wants to be in office when it comes crashing down around him? Certainly no court before this one. Certainly no President, before this one. So, judge us not too harshly, sir. And bid her majesty 'like. Because the real determination our courts and our President must make, is not whether this rag-tag bunch of Africans raised swords against their enemy... but rather, must *we?*
