Hannah Arendt in the film is a woman who either smokes, meditates, or meditates with a cigarette. Her independence and uncompromising are admirable. "Understanding does not mean forgiving", "I don't love any nationality." Man, I only love friends I know." The film is made for those who are willing and able to think, and the theme of thinking is just thinking itself.

Hans Jonas: But Eichmann is a monster. And when I say monster, I don't mean Satan. You don't need to be smart or powerful to behave like a monster.
Hannah Arendt: You're being too simplistic. What's new about the Eichmann phenomenon is that there are so many just like him. He's a terrifyingly normal human being.
