The best tool to control a country is the army, and the best tool to control people's hearts is religion

Rarely involved in movie reviews, but couldn't help but say something this time. Seeing other people's comments, I feel more of a criticism of my own country's system (maybe I am superficial). But I have to say, have we been educated by these Western cultural films? Every country has its own national conditions, every country has its own system, and every country's system has its imperfections. Whether it is China, the United States, or other countries. We always see the improvement of other countries' systems, and we are angry that our own country's systems are not perfect and unreasonable. This is because we know our own country and society too well, but we don't know much about the national conditions and society of other countries. This is precisely what countries that want to subvert us want to take advantage of. Look at the so-called dictatorship countries that have been subverted by those so-called just countries under the banner of justice in the past decade. The people of several countries have lived a better life than before. In fact, the state system is sometimes just like the concept of religion, and it is easy to confuse people. Those so-called democracies want to achieve their own goals through this kind of cultural brainwashing. But do you think their purpose is really good for us? I don't want everyone to be excluded, on the contrary, I hope to extract the best essence from foreign cultures to make up for the shortcomings of my own country. But don't be exploited by them. Don't make the mistake of "if people are good, they must be suspicious; if people are bad, they must believe it", but "if there is something, change it, and if it doesn't, you will be crowned." The writing is not good, I hope you can understand what I mean!

Todd Hayes: Who never says anything even though he never stops talking.

Professor Stephen Malley: The decisions you make now, bud, can't be changed but with years and years of hard work to redo it... And in those years you become something different. Everybody does as the time passes. You get married, you get into debt... But you're never gonna be the same person you are right now. And promise and potential... It's very fickle, and it just might not be there anymore.
Todd Hayes: Are you assuming I already made a decision? And also that I'll live to regret it?
Professor Stephen Malley: All I'm saying is that you're an adult now... And the tough thing about adulthood is that it starts before you even know it starts, when you're already a dozen decisions into it. But what you need to know, Todd, no Lifeguard is watching anymore. You're on your own. You're your own man, and the decisions you make now are yours and yours alone from here until the end.
