The best "Revolutionary"

Tyrese 2022-03-25 09:01:21

Quite a revolutionary war movie worth watching 1. In the 80th minute, Juan said to John: The revolution is when the literate people go to the illiterate people to tell them to change, and the poor people change, and then become literate The people sat around the big table talking and talking and then eating and eating. But what happened to these poor people - they all died. Then the same thing goes on and on. This is your revolution 2. The tragic scene of the massacre after the 101st minute echoes the paragraph in Mao Zedong's "Report on the Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan" at the beginning of the film - "Revolution is not a dinner party, an essay, or a painting. Embroidery can't be so elegant, so calm, gentle, so gentle and submissive. A revolution is a riot, a violent action by a class to overthrow a class" 3. John said that when he started making explosives, he believed in many things, and later he only Believe in dynamite. John, who also believes in many things, shoots his best friend after seeing him defect, and John, who only believes in explosives, says "I don't judge you" in front of the mutinous doctor. 4. Juan finally became a general, but when John died in the explosion, he could only say: What should I do? 5. The last scene before John's death is not the success of the revolution, but the friendship and love long gone forever. PS This film also tells us a truth: the most useful thing in revolutionary war, especially guerrilla warfare, is not long-range sniping, but a variety of bombs with small size and huge lethality!

Duck, You Sucker! quotes

  • Juan Miranda: [looking through John's binoculars the wrong way] He says there's no danger; all you have to do is just watch the bridge from a long way. No matter how I look with them, I'm still too close to the bridge.

    [looks through them the right way]

    Juan Miranda: Why am I mixed up in this fucking revolution in the first place? Go ahead, you tell me God; what am I doing here? Why didn't you strike me dead instead of letting me say "I stay too"?

    [notices John walking away from the birdge]

    Juan Miranda: Oh-ho, look at him. Look at him! All because of him! He acts like a tourist that's going somewhere, only he's staying, eh, heh-heh! Look at him. What the hell does he care, ho-ho, he's having fun. Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! I'm glad he's having fun, God, because I am not having fun. Oh-ho. No! Hey, what's this?

    [notices John napping]

    Juan Miranda: Ho-ho, now he goes to sleep, eh? Go ahead, you sleep. Sleep. I tell you something God: when he's asleep, I go. Shhh. May the good Lord watch over you.

    [prepares to leave, but notices Günther Ruiz and his soldiers arriving at the bridge]

  • Priest: [about peasants] I hate saying it, but you should hear them in the confessional. You would never imagine. Did you know that they...

    Adelita, woman in stagecoach: I can imagine, Father. I can imagine. Living in such promiscuity. All of them in one room, male and female together, lying in a heap, like rats in a sewer. At night, when the lights are out, all their inhibitions disappear. You never know who's next: mother, sister, daughter... goat...
