What I see is what a government should be like

This should be regarded as a documentary, commemorating the 2013 Boston Marathon terrorist attack.

There are many things that impress me about this film, but the main reason is that it is true. The truth of the film, on the contrary, weakened the terrorist attack itself, and unexpectedly expressed more content.

Among them are the response efficiency of the entire government department (street - police station - state capital - White House) and feedback to the media in the face of emergencies, coordination between different states and counties; The emotional connection made me see that everyone is not just an independent individual. Behind him stands a group of people who support him. That connection is not bonded by suffering, but established by the growth environment. These are the temperatures that I cannot feel in the environment I am currently in.

In the end, this strong - this group of strong people, a group of people who do their duty to defend the city and maintain the dignity of the city, constitutes the city. Their calmness, calmness, and help when they went through this ordeal, as well as the confident, warm, and strong smile on their faces after going through this ordeal, are the most heart-warming things.

Suffering will only disturb the city for a short time, it will not bring down the people living here, but it will make people think more deeply, reflect on how to prevent such incidents from happening again, and reflect on how to make people's lives safer. A city, what a government should look like.

"This is our fuckin' city, And nobody gonna dictate our freedom, Stay strong!"
