The dense lines are the most naked display of knowledge. After reading it in one breath, you can feel the sexiness and charm of knowledge. If there's anything sexier in this world than being naked, it's probably knowledge.
Movies are like a brick on one's city wall, making oneself stronger.
1. About knowledge
Hector: "knowledge is not general, it is specific. And nothing to do with getting on. 'All knowledge is precious, whether or not it serves the slightest human use.' ”
"Most of what poetry's about hasn't happended to us yet."
Hector: "But it will, Timms, it will. And when it does, you'll have the antidote ready. Learn it now, know it now, and you will understand it, whenever. Grisf, happiness, even when you're dying. We're making your deathbeds here, boys."
'Now, Voyager, sail to thou forth, to seek and find.'
Knowledge is such a powerful force, it is hidden in the depths, and it is the antidote when people are doubtful, confused, and suffering.
Hector told the children to decorate the standard answers with poetry. Then please use poetry, literature, and history to decorate the answer to life, how vivid and vivid such a life should be.
2. About history
Irwin: "We don't like to admit the war was even partly our fault cos so many of our people died. And all the mourning's veiled the truth.
It is not 'lest we forget', it is 'lest we remember.
That's what all this is about, the memories, the cenotath, and two minutes' slience.
Because there is no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.
As for the truth, Scripps, forget it. In an examinatin, truth's not an issue.”
Covering up is probably a common way, but I am glad that many people around me still have the seeds of ideals and are pursuing the truth.
3. About women
Lintott: “Why do you think there are no woman historians on TV?
They never get round the conference table.
History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men.
What is history?
History is women following behand… with a bucket.”
Regarding the "invisibility" of women in history, we should realize that this is a suppressed phenomenon. Therefore, it is very important to be wary of history repeating itself.
Finally, there is a comment: English is spoken by them so sweetly. Probably knowledge is also lingering on their lips. I believe that after reading it, everyone will build a stronger brick for their own wall. After all, it is so tolerant and broad, and it is related to knowledge.
