those who are different

Righteousness and reason.
These tenets are already in jeopardy in today's real society.

I am moved by a film like this because it brings out some spirit in extreme situations. In reality, we all know that the appearance of peace and harmony does not mean that we really stick to each other, and the belief that we persist in extreme environments is the real character.

I know that, sitting in front of my laptop typing, I will never know what my real choice is. If, is an imaginary.

From a modern woman with a middle-class clothing taste, to "degraded" to being locked up in prison, being punched and changing her face, to entering a cultural and entertainment life that does not match her temperament at all, even a notepad is required. In extreme cases of confiscation. If I were such a woman, would I still stand by the protection of White House officials, the promise to the little girl?

Reason tells me that all rational people will choose to save others and protect themselves.

And those who are different will see beyond reason what today's compromises will bring to the future.
If the informant can be "sold out", how many people are willing to reveal the truth.
If a child is told that it was his own unintentional fault that caused the death of his mother, how will her life go on in the future?
If the front of righteousness and faith can independently adhere to certain conditions, the so-called adherence is for whom and for what.

Chinese people often talk about judging the times to save the world and taking advantage of the situation.
I always thought, that's what most people say. And what I treasure most are those few people who are different. When they transcend, they transcend the world and buck the trend, just for the perseverance in their hearts.

A teacher once told me that in the real world, not only black and white, but the gray in the middle is the largest space.
I still agree with it, and I hope that I can be more at ease in the ashes.
However, only those issues that do not touch the bottom line, non-principled issues, can be neither black nor white, and gray.
What's the point if we don't distinguish black and white, and we are covered in ashes.

Those who are different among the few people can keep the white and choose the gray and not the black. Such people I call wise. If you can't have both, benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom, and trust are required.

    The ending makes everything pointless, and protecting the little girl from guilt over her mother's death just needs to keep it a secret from the judge. If you don't know who the informant is, this movie will definitely have four stars. Now I will give it three stars for that defense.

    When freedom of the press conflicts with national interests, which is more important? The director of the film obviously gave the answer. Kate Beckinsale is doing great!
