It There is no doubt that Smith was a staunch idealist - proud of a righteous father, a follower of Lincoln and the Declaration of Liberty, a proposal for Boy Camp from Knowing Nothing, For right and wrong, turn against old friends and fight against evil forces. The whole story begins with Smith's idealistic thoughts and actions, one-man resistance against the mighty "Taylor's machine" and a council that doesn't believe in him. But in the end, in fact, Simth is going to fail, but he has awakened a trace of idealism and a trace of right and wrong values in Mr. Paine's heart.
So how appropriate is this idealism? But obviously should not be abandoned and ridiculed.
Media: Communication / Control / Independent Spiritual
Communication - Emphasizes the autonomy of information transmission. Smith's heroic deeds are known to everyone, and the children actively tell their fathers, Simth has the opportunity to be nominated as a senator; another On the one hand, in the end, the Boy Scouts newspaper also played a role, but of course it was more about the topic of free speech. Of course, the power of the media comes naturally from its influence on people's hearts. How can readers judge the difference between news and truth?
Control - is the strong and direct control of the newspaper by the capital oligarchy represented by Mr. Taylor. This is unavoidable. Even an independent media's attitude is still not too far from its editor-in-chief. So how should society balance this power? The Internet is probably half of it, and the other half is in the shadow of big Vs and citizens who can't think for themselves.
Independent spirit - positive: It is the support of the media for Smith in the second half of the film, and they have self-judgment; negative: the reporters are used by the gimmick trend to take advantage of Simth who has just arrived in Washington. This is for all the media and all citizens. I will probably always remember Chen Yinke's words: free thought, independent spirit.
Public rights: freedom of speech/democratic environment
This is very clearly reflected in the film, the film gives the horror of being restricted in speech, and also shows that Simth still has the right to speak in parliament when he is suspected of acting, but it is restricted again. Down. It is the protection and restriction of a reasonable system.
The democratic environment - actually a very small point, is that tourists can watch the parliament. See the micro-knowledge.
In general, the phrase I can think of - love your country, but be wary of your government, lest it become "Big Brother's eyes on you."
Politics (institutions)
before WWII, 1939 movies, and can "uglify" the government. A good system is not afraid to face its shortcomings. No matter how good a system is, it is not perfect. A good system should at least take the initiative to let the public understand, let the public participate, and accept public doubts. Compared to the present...maintaining stability first?
Persist
in receiving education since childhood, and constantly instill the power of "persistence". On the other hand, this film, the same, did not do much discussion. However, instead, it made me reflect on what circumstances should I persist, and how should I persist?
Love
seems to be a common bridge in today's romance films: the loved one does not know, the suitor falls into deep love, and finally the prodigal son turns back and finds that love is by his side. That's the case with Saunders vs Smith. Is it time for the Chinese people's view of love to mature?
There are few and very weak parts in the feminist
film, naturally focusing on Saunders on the front, and Susan on the reverse. An independent and assertive, helping the protagonist to overcome difficulties; a pawn that is likely to become a family marriage. Well, 1939.
Screenwriter: From story to emotion - you can tell a truth and create a character, but in the end, what more ordinary audiences like is
only to arouse their emotions.
Acting: 1939- ——The actors' performances have a bit of a stage feel to them, but they are still very infectious. On the other hand, some movies today
can no longer care about the acting skills of the actors. When will this kind of deformed business behavior be eliminated by the market?
Real politics: The incident of forcing an actor to change/deleting
a post is very strange. After watching this film, I want to talk about it. The previous online arguments, standing in line, and sparring were boring. Give some opinions.
1. It is necessary to distinguish the difference between capital oligarchy and interest temptation, especially the impact of the two on politics.
2. Public opinion control (deleting posts) is a violation of public rights and is wrong. I don't see how you can use the same thing to wash the ground for Gov while refuting the public team.
3. In a centralized state, the main thing to be wary of is the government and those in power.
4. Some people are either stupid or bad.
