Goodbye Mrs Adams

Before watching the film, due to the knowledge of American independence and the history of the 50 years after the founding of the United States, it is limited to those few nouns---Linda's book, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Declaration of Independence, Marshall. Among them, there is not even a memory of John Adams.

When watching the film, I found that the image of the historical figure I had positioned was subverted: Jefferson, the chief writer of the Declaration of Independence, was so ill-spoken; the famous Dr. Franklin was also an old fritter; Hamilton of The Federalist Papers was so different, the one on Mount Rushmore General Washington is tired of the presidency, and Marshall, who established the separation of powers in the United States, is not just a justice... After

watching the film, I realized that my understanding of American history is so shallow and subjective: those two "Continental Congresses" The convening, the exciting "Declaration of Independence", the glorious and great history of the founding of the country, the shining White House, the tit-for-tat rivalry between the Democratic and Republican parties, those presidents who have already concluded... What I know is not even "fur".
The freedom, democracy, and legal system that we admire endlessly must not be understood until a generation struggled for it, and how difficult it is to produce, develop, and maintain. I remember Leo said: "The production of two things in the world is best not to see, sausage and law."

In addition, the favorite is Mrs Adams with a bright smile. Indeed, to a large extent, Mr Adams is Mrs Adams, and they have walked hand in hand for 54 years.
