Russell said that three simple and strong emotions dominate our life, that is, the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge and the piercing pity for human suffering. There are two emotions that are meticulously and precisely displayed in this film: love and compassion.

Love and compassion are intrinsically interlinked. Love is the sympathy of one person for another. Sympathy is a person's love for the species to which they belong. Nick's heart is huge. He has broad sympathy and regards saving the suffering of all beings as his mission. Sarah, was originally a little woman. Have the happiness a little woman deserves. However, when Nick appeared, her heart was opened. She saw deep and universal suffering, and she saw a warrior in the face of suffering. The good side of her character was brought out. She gave up her career as an exhibitor to become a member of the UNHCR, helping volunteers around the world. There is so much kindness and compassion in this movie. There are flashes of humanity everywhere. It's a brutal movie, but also a warm one. With their efforts, the dark side of the world is retreating. The world is getting better.

By the way, let me tell you about Médecins Sans Frontières.

Doctors Without Borders (French name: Medicins Sans Frontieres; abbreviation is MSF, English name: Doctors Without Borders) is a non-profit organization (NPO). Winner of the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize. MSF was founded in Paris on December 20, 1971. The original members were French doctors and journalists who believed that all human beings in the world had the right to medical treatment. But now its members are all over the world, with more than 2,000 volunteers serving in about 60 countries each year. It is the world's largest independent medical rescue organization, with 19 offices around the world, and five major operations centers. All are located in Europe, namely Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Geneva.

    Nick Callahan: No, and that's us, right? We drown it. Kill it. Numb it, anything not to feel. You know, when I was a doctor in London, no one ever said 'medahani'.

I mean, it was silly and childish, but it made me feel good about myself. So I took him with me to London, you know, my talisman, my courageous Africa... - pauses - How could I be so bloody stupid? How could I be so totally selfish? The point is... he was my friend. He had a name. So now I HAVE to remember him. If everybody I lose has a name...
