talking to oneself

Some dreams are not allowed to be shared with others...
Today, I finally deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. I have always had such a dream since Yasuzuki. However, this "luxurious" dream cannot be blessed by anyone, nor can it be shared with anyone. A little touch is a big, big hurt. I still have hope for this future, but the only remaining hope is broken one after another. After the broken, I have to rebuild it. After the pain, I have to be happy, because hope leads to dreams. Even if it is a very small hope, I do not want to give up.
Yes, such a dream is not allowed to be shared, and this little hope can also destroy life, because it does not allow others to touch - a casual remark, a stray glance, or even a slap in the face is normal. Gestures can lead to my hostility. But how can humility like me destroy life? Hope was shattered one by one, and I gave in step by step, until the bottom of my heart was only a glimmer of hope, alas, it was just a glimmer of hope.
In fact, such a dream needs to be shared with another person, and I also hope that it can be blessed by others. Instead of being suspicious of each other and hurting each other, we have become trusting and loving each other. Perhaps this is a new beginning, carefully guarding the only remaining hope, just like the beginning...

    A heart-wrenching story. Very heavy and depressing, but no one is wrong! Jennifer Connelly is so old. Ben Kingsley has the face of a big villain in this film as a stubborn colonel. The employee of the Women's Aid Center who was making soy sauce looked familiar. It turned out to be Frances Fisher, the powerful mother of the female pig in the Titanic. She was a little confused from Maggie Smith. The Colonel's speech at his daughter's wedding in the opening credits is wonderful.

    Sometimes it's not hatred that destroys our lives, it's the hope we hold.

  • Nadi: [to Massoud, in Farsi] I didn't come to America to live and walk the streets like a filthy Arab! I came to America to LIVE!

  • Behrani: [to Kathy] You think you can frighten me? You think you can frighten me with your stupid deputy coming here telling me lies?

    [Grabs Kathy by the arm and frog-marches her down the path]

    Nadi: [Following them] Don't!

    Behrani: In my country, you're not worthy to raise your eyes to me. You're nothing! And you can tell your deputy friend his superior officers know everything!
