Fight like a man

When Morgan Freeman slapped Denzel Washington, he said, don't complain about the world, fight like a man! This is my favorite line of dialogue.

When I saw the Wenchuan earthquake, many teenage child soldiers trained for many days. They were sent to the front for the first time, but were arranged to dig out a large number of simple graves every day. I remembered this movie. As a soldier, it is sad not to go to the battlefield, and it is very likely that the next grave will be dug for you.

Today, more than 100 years later, Obama has the same firm eyes as Denzel Washington played the role of Ze at the time. He has realized the great dream of black people becoming the president of the United States. I think of this movie again. Remember Denzel Washington’s serious joke the first night when black people slept in the same tent? "I went to run for the president, but I was not elected."

    Title Card: Robert Gould Shaw, the son of wealthy Boston abolitionists, was 23 years old when he enlisted to fight in the War Between the States. He wrote home regularly, telling his parents of life in the gathering Army of the Potomac. / These letters are collected in the Houghton Library of Harvard University.

    Colonel Robert G. Shaw: Dear Mother, I hope you are keeping well and not worrying much about me. You mustn't think that any of us are going to be killed. They are collecting such a force here, that an attack would be insane. The Massachusetts men passed though here this morning; how grand it is to meet the men from all the States, east and west, ready to fight for their country, as the old fellows did in the Revolution. But this time we must make it a whole country for all who live here, so that all can speak.
