Compared with the Das Leben der Anderen I watched last month, I think "Arendt" gave up the superficial ideal of kindness, and better showed the plight of the thinker in reality: as soon as the "Report" was published, the public's superficial thinking And one-sided understanding, coupled with Zionist propaganda insidious, all turned into irrational group sentiment. I think that in the Internet age, the collective sentiment in Internet public opinion, under the control of large capital, is more permeated with the evil of banality than it was 60 years ago.
I am wary of all kinds of films that boast personal heroism and libertarianism, and I prefer films that show complex reality: there are scenes in which Ms. Arendt conquers students in public speeches, and moments when relatives and friends turn against each other and betray each other; At the end of the movie, Arendt was lying in bed smoking, as if he had finally exhausted all his courage and will. The questioning of Arendt by relatives and friends in the film is very close to reality; on the standpoint of Jewish nationalism: the German-American philosopher, with her arrogant reason, disregards the national revenge, and uses cold and unrealistic attitudes. Philosophical thinking, betrayed their own nation. To varying degrees, every serious thinker will inevitably become a traitor to the national culture. No prophet is accepted in his homeland.
If I were Ms. Arendt, would I have the courage to write a report entirely on my own terms? Or will I be worldly so as not to offend the wrath? Great ideas are causing lasting controversy?
Haven't read Ms. Arendt's work yet, try writing a little more in-depth review when you get a chance to read it!
