IF I MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE, I CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS.
——THEODORE ROOSEVELT

On the TOFEL red book, adolescence can be split and associated as: ado (see as adult) + lescence (see as license). In this
case, puberty The solution is that the teenager is about to get the adult license.
But, how many road must a man walk down, before we call him a man?!
That's a question.
It must be for teenagers who have not obtained a license. A
pure audience like me, without any value judgment, the questions and conflicts raised by the film can stimulate my thinking.
ROBETR REDFORT’s advice and questions, The hypocrisy and eloquence of pretty TOM, the words of Meryl Streep's poverty and helplessness, two enlisted students, Todd's thoughts and eyes are swept by a series of questions: life. faith. ideals. reality. justice. peace.
LIONS for LAMBS is an allusion: In the Second World War, German officers felt that brave British soldiers were like lions, but their lives were commanded by leaders like lambs.
The lamb in power can dominate the ambition of the lion?!
Ambition stems from ideals and beliefs. Lions kill battlefields, ideals are no match for life and death, and beliefs are missing.
LAMB is trapped in a political whirlpool and talks about soldiers, ideals, and beliefs.
Achieve some simple thinking about who is who.
Very silly, very naive. Who is it?!

some words from wisdom (ROBETR REDFORT)
The decision you are making now is a budding, you can’t change
it, but through years of hard work to redo made
in those years, you will become different

. The decision you make now is your own. From beginning



to end, the story of you alone is not ending with death, but ending in the thinking of the living.

Lions for Lambs quotes

  • 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.
