2 minute reflections on a 2 hour movie

I once asked my mother a question about freedom
when I was very young, why beggars choose to beg instead of committing crimes, and then they will be thrown into prison. Although I can't go anywhere, at least I have something to eat every day and a place to live. I don't have to endure hunger and the sun and rain like I am now. My mother said, for freedom.
Just like when I didn't know what the party was, I would sing "there would be no new China without the Communist Party". When I didn't know what "freedom" was, I first came to know "freedom" as a word.
A chat with a friend a few days ago also mentioned "freedom". One of the obvious changes I've noticed over the years is that I'm starting to think and yearn for freedom.
For thousands of years, human beings have fought for a very simple reason - freedom. Arthur in "King Arthur" said "Freedom means fighting for freedom".

Regarding the longevity
human beings do not recognize Andrew's identity, it is because, unlike all people, time is endless for him. People hate, envy and even hate. But in my opinion, people should feel relieved. Because of the limited life, we learn to cherish it, because it will end, and the beginning will have meaning.
All the scenes I can imagine saying "I love you forever" are tragic. If we always learn to be slack, helpless, and not love, then there will always be no meaning.
I think I'd prefer a scene like this. Supreme Treasure said to Zixia, if you want to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is 10,000 years. What about the 10,000th year? The Supreme Treasure of immortality also cannot guarantee what will happen 10,000 years later. In fact, 10,000 years is too long.

Bicentennial Man quotes

  • Andrew Martin: May one, sir? Is now a good time?

    'Ma'am' Martin: What? A good time for what?

    Andrew Martin: Last night, Sir taught...

    Sir: No, no, no, don't blame me Andrew. Just... go ahead.

    Andrew Martin: Thank you sir

    Andrew Martin: [Very fast] Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area? A woman goes into a doctor's office, and the doctor says "Do you mind if I numb your breasts?" "Not at all." *makes 'motor-boating' noise. "Num-num-num-num."

    Andrew Martin: [Family chuckles] One did it sir!

    Sir: Andrew, it was fine, but we might want to talk about appropriatness and um, and timing.

    Andrew Martin: It's ten-fifteen sir.

    [Family laughs hysterically]

  • Galatea: Sucks to be you!
