As a language learner, I also deeply believe in the power of language and the power of peaceful reform. I believe that the progress, or rights, that is exchanged for violence is unsound progress. Because there are too many sacrifices in the middle, and after the meager progress, there will be new violence. So I firmly believe that through education, through peaceful mediation in this slow but civilized way, our dreams can finally be realized. This is not the meaning of the existence of those super-international organizations. . .

    Aside from the political factor, the film becomes nondescript, but it is also because of politics that it is sensitive but blurs the focus.

    There are beautiful girls, although there are many flaws, the male lead is ugly. But what is rare is that this movie is the good wishes of the good American people. Of course, because there are few resources worth fighting for, the US government is too lazy to care about these African brothers, not as aggressive as Afghanistan and Iraq. It was the Republic of Zimbabwe, a terrifying utopia.

The Interpreter quotes

  • Silvia Broome: Listen, I'm scared, and my protector is some one who doesn't believe me.

    Tobin Keller: You don't look scared...

    Silvia Broome: People handle fear in different ways, Mr. Keller. It turns some people into stand up comedians. You don't know me at all. Maybe I should talk to someone else about assigning someone to look after me who's better suited to the job.

    Tobin Keller: My job is not to look after you, it's to look after the man who's been threatened, if there was a threat. My job, as it concerns you, is to investigate you.

    Silvia Broome: So you're not here to offer me any protection whatsoever?

    Tobin Keller: No, Ma'am.

    Silvia Broome: [handing him back his card] And we were getting along so well.

  • Silvia Broome: Do you think I'm making it up? Why would I report a threat I didn't hear?

    Tobin Keller: People do.

    Silvia Broome: I don't.

    Tobin Keller: Some people like attention.

    Silvia Broome: I don't!

    Tobin Keller: Maybe you don't want Zuwanie at the U.N.

    Silvia Broome: I didn't make it up.

    Tobin Keller: How do you feel about him?

    Silvia Broome: I don't care for him.

    Tobin Keller: Wouldn't mind if he were dead?

    Silvia Broome: I wouldn't mind if he were gone.

    Tobin Keller: Same thing.

    Silvia Broome: No, it isn't. If I interpreted gone as dead I'd be out of a job, if dead and gone were the same thing there'd be no UN.

    Tobin Keller: Your profession is playing with words Ms. Broome.

    Silvia Broome: I don't play with words.

    Tobin Keller: You're doing it right now.

    Silvia Broome: No, you are. If I wanted him dead, I wouldn't have reported it. I would sit back and let it happen. That's not what I want, that's not why I'm here.
