Norway's legal basis doesn't protect the country anymore

How did neo-Nazis come about? The criminals in the film said they were against diversity and against immigration. Why object? It is because these immigrants destroy the values ​​of the original white people. Some choose to endure, some choose to compromise. The point is that someone chooses to resist. And when someone chose to resist, killing 77 people turned out to be just life imprisonment. There is even a decent life in prison, with the chance of parole after 21 years. Magical or not? Magical or not? It's just a great irony, whether it's the extreme left or the extreme right, they all live well. Instead, it is the centrists who will hurt the most. The centrists are the largest faction in society. When their rights and interests are not effectively protected, what will happen to this society?

The political atmosphere in Norway and even the whole of Europe has been seriously distorted now. It is extremely compromised on the refugee issue. The ultra-leftists continue to incite refugees to run to Europe. The centrists are suppressed by political correctness and dare not speak out. The extreme right thus has the soil to survive. When the extreme right moves, it is the ordinary people of the centrist who are hurt the most. If this neo-Nazi did not kill his own compatriots, but only picked new immigrants to kill, I would respect him as a man, but unfortunately he was just a "coward" who blindly vented his anger on his compatriots.

In the end, the problem was an infighting among white people, and the new immigrants were unscathed. Those who were supposed to go to Europe continued, and the problem remained unresolved.

    This new film by Paul Greengrass is a solid work developed from the two main perspectives of the perpetrator and the victim, with the director's consistent documentary visual style and full character and story shaping. The extremely natural and smooth rhythm, the characters and the story are very solid and neat. The beginning and the end are from these two perspectives. Compared with the two main perspectives of the film, the defense lawyer's perspective is a more subtle existence. It plays a role in both. The role of moral defense for the parties involved in the incident also further deepens the role of the villain from the perspective of supporting roles, and the film's rather documentary-style images, with the cooperation of the actors' excellent performances, will be displayed in extreme events from all perspectives. The emotions are effectively conveyed with a few sets of shots and the soundtrack.

    Powerful control ability, the plot trend that has always been unpredictable, such a calm, three-dimensional and all-round presentation of a shooting case, no matter whether the final two-line treatment is old-fashioned or not, it has the same emotional impact.

22 July quotes

  • Lara: How are you feeling?

    Viljar: I'm okay. And you?

    Lara: Yeah. I'm fine. I was in the shower block when it started, so I managed to run and hide. But I got separated from my sister Bano. I'm sorry about Simon and Anders, too.

    Viljar: It's shit.

    Lara: How is the food here? Is it okay?

    Viljar: It's pretty shit, too. Actually, it's *really* shit.

    Lara: If you want, I can bring you something. Food, or anything.

    Viljar: No. No, I'm fine. I don't have much appetite.

    Lara: Do you want anything else? Cigarettes or...

    Viljar: That would have been nice.

    Lara: Okay.

    Viljar: ...Except I don't smoke.

  • Judge Wenche Arntzen: Can you tell us what happened to you on Utøya, Viljar?

    Viljar: Yes.

    [has a flashback in his head]

    Viljar: He tried to... he tried to kill me. I remember... seeing him... and then running away... trying to find somewhere to hide, and protecting my little brother. I remember being shot. Five times. When I was lying on the beach, I was... all alone. In a kind of pain I couldn't imagine.

    Judge Wenche Arntzen: But now you are here.

    Viljar: But everything's different. I've had to relearn how to use my body. Learn how to walk again. How to feed myself again. I have little use of my left arm, and I'm... I'm blind on one eye. But that's, uh... that's a relief.

    Judge Wenche Arntzen: A relief. How do you mean?

    Viljar: [laughs shakily] A relief, in a way that at least now I don't have to look at him.

    [some of the people in the audience laugh briefly]

    Viljar: But of course it's not that simple. I... I have a fragment of his bullet lodged in my brain that could kill me at any time. And I don't look like the person I used to anymore, I... My body, it's... it's broken. And the worst is that he... he killed Anders and Simon, my best friends. Stopping them from making their mark on the world, and... and they would have made it a better place. And I... I miss them every day. I'm sorry, I... I didn't... I didn't want to cry. I so much didn't want to cry in front of him. I... I wanted to stay strong. Because I do this for them. So they will not be forgotten. And when you shot them and left me alone on the beach, I didn't know if I was living or dying. And I've been stuck there ever since. But now... I realize that I got a choice. Because I still have a family... and friends... and memories. Dreams. Hope. And love. And he doesn't. He's... completely alone. And he's going to rot there in prison, whereas I... I survived. And I choose to live.
