brutal invasion

Perhaps what moved me was the gratitude that everyone thought was perfect and beautiful after trying to make up for the twisted family relationship, and it showed that the tolerance and nostalgia between close relatives are extremely beautiful. A divided family does not allow People feel sad, a story about death does not make people feel bleak, on the contrary, the surging warmth is filled with the kind and fragile side of conscience and humanity saved from money and self-world. It turns out that no one ever resents anyone. It turns out that disputes, contradictions, generation gaps, etc., these old life troubles will disappear in front of an old man who is dying, and the day when life is about to die will be the time when sincere love, family, and friendship will come. , to live, so quietly wait, waiting to be happily lingered by relatives and friends, surrounded, cared for, cared for, and then forever mourned, will life always understand the meaning of happiness at the last moment, and then at the last moment? I was moved to tears by the pillow at midnight, looking back on the too much love and being loved that I missed, so I have nostalgia. The most ruthless, but this passionate nostalgia, when it is cruel, it has witnessed the disappearance of a life.

The return of his wife and children, the reunion of old friends, and the company of old lovers are all humble requests when life comes to an end. It's so humble that it's a bit low. Just look at the rich son in the film who takes out a stack of banknotes outside the ward and divides it. For those who came to visit their father, they were his father's students, and they were dismissed so easily. Who is qualified to talk about conscience together with whom? Some people rest peacefully under the strong expression of money piled up, while some people may die in solitude. I think of the funeral customs I saw in the countryside before. The noisy and festive atmosphere made me see death in a hidden layer. In the sense of the word, it has solved the worries of the living relatives.

Life is not as simple as just one life for another life. Only in other lives can we test our own humanity and conscience. If we do not admit that we are selfish, this can only be the case. More often, we choose relatives and friends who are with us day and night. It seems that we are cheap to ask for or give to them. It seems that you and I are very human and have a sound conscience. By what standard do we measure it? The son of a financier in the oil industry is extremely powerful. He can buy into the top management of the hospital to create a superior medical environment for his father, and he can even inject heroin into his father in order to reduce his suffering. The reason why this story is so touching is that this man has Qian's son's filial piety, we learned from the film that his father and him were strangers before he fell ill. In the end, their tears still flowed together when they hugged each other. I was moved by this strong family affection. At the same time, it also made me doubt this. I wondered whether this family relationship would still be so touching without a firm material support. I doubt that the standard of conscience will eventually fall to the material scale in this world with a fully developed economy. I also have to mention my grandma and give her living expenses on time, which has become a programmed ritual to miss her old man. I believe that this is the case in many families. It is like when we pass some worldly feelings, we will do everything possible to find excuses to prove that we are also very pressured to live. After all, in everyone's world, in the darkest time, only watching Get himself, and still a vague shadow.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.
