It's about glory

"He is not a great black man, he is a great man with black skin."

This sentence describes Denzel Washington. If I give it to Morgan Freeman it seems equally well deserved. And they were able to achieve such an achievement and such praise. It is really because there used to be a group of great people with the same black skin who made huge sacrifices for a common dream. This dream is to become a man like Morgan Freed. A free man as described by Man’s last name.

The acting skills of Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman are beyond doubt. But in this film, I feel that the traces of their performance are too strong, not as freely as their performances in those classic films later. What is the reason? I believe it is because their performances are too devoted, and this devotion stems from sincerity, and this sincerity is also because of reverence. The reverence for their bloody and sacrificed ancestors and grandfathers for generations, it is their sacrifice that has brought your freedom and dignity. This It sounds hypocritical, but it is true, and this glorious history of sacrifice began in the 54th Corps of the Northern Massachusetts State Corps during the American Civil War, and perhaps even more distant.

This movie tells the story of this corps. This is a group of black Americans gathered for freedom. In the process of their struggle to become soldiers, they are still subjected to various discriminations from all aspects. This This kind of discrimination comes from being their allies, the northern whites, which makes them deeply feel the value of freedom and the accompanying dignity and glory, and all this must be obtained through resistance and sacrifice, so we see a brave and fearless Team, a team that is most eager to fight and sacrifice. And write a glorious page in the battle of Charles Tan. I remember that in the movie "The Godfather 2", Michael Kryon went to Cuba to negotiate business. On the streets of Cuba, he encountered a suicide terrorist attack. Then Michael gave up his business with the Cuban government. The Cuban side was puzzled and said there was There is no problem with police and army protection. Michael replied that the police and the army are fighting for others, and these rebels are fighting for themselves. Yes, the people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death? A person with a sense of sacrifice cannot be conquered or enslaved by any power. Dignity and glory have surpassed life here and become an eternal pursuit. This is where the strength of this black legion lies. And this force is also the winner of the American Civil War, and has always inspired the American minorities to fight hard.

This is a true story. The protagonist, Colonel Robert Gouldshaw, a white officer, is a real person in history, and his letters are still preserved at Harvard University. We are obliged to write a strong mark for Colonel Robert Gouldshaw, like the film, because Colonel Gouldshaw is an idealist like Guevara, compared to the self-sacrifice of those black Americans. He contributed all his strength, even his life, out of justice and sympathy for the tragic situation of black Americans. This shows the greatness of personality even more, as he wrote in his letter: "A person with a mind is a person who can get rid of all evil eyes. He can hear the call in people's hearts, and the love in their hearts can cross everything. Obstacles." He did not abandon the American people, and the American people did not forget him. We should not forget that idealism is always the most precious spirit of mankind.

Oscar awarded the best supporting actor to Denzel Washington. The judges are not so much infected by Washington's acting, as they are moved by this sincerity. Every American will never forget the great declaration of 1776 and the glory and dreams contained in it.

"We would like to pledge our lives, property, and our sacred glory to each other, and we will never swear to each other."

This is how the Declaration of Independence ended. To this day, we still vowed for the vows we made two hundred and thirty years ago. Moved. The right to life, the right to freedom, and the right to pursue happiness. These rights are the symbol of why a person is a human being. It symbolizes the dignity of a person, and this dignity is the most sacred glory of a person. When people lose this sacred glory, everything else will be meaningless. For this glory, people will sacrifice their lives without hesitation, and die gloriously as a true person.

    It's great and profound, and even though I haven't lived in that society, I can still have a sense of resonance. There is a heart-wrenching realism.
