American spirit of reflection
Kale 2021-12-24 08:01:50
Generally speaking, this is a film of reflection on war. The reflection of those in power, the reflection of the media, and the reflection of ordinary citizens. I think a lot of the strength of the United States comes from these deep or incomplete reflections. Right and wrong may be important, but mistakes always happen. We cannot avoid mistakes. It is reflection that allows us to avoid making the same mistakes. This is the power of reflection. On the other hand, our society has a high tolerance for error, almost to the point of numbness. We always make a posture of singing and dancing, prosperity, and the scenery are unique. In fact, we can't see the crisis. The undercurrents are raging, we are unwilling to see, unwilling to think, and there is even an anti-rational trend, opposing reflection, opposing questioning, simple, unique and crude values govern our brains. What is the use of such brains.

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.
