Life is as small as a dust in the face of politics

I watched it when I was in junior high school, and I was shocked when I watched it. I only remembered that it was a highly contagious virus. Now I know it is the plague, and I can understand why it will destroy them. The plague is indelible in the history of mankind black memory, especially for medieval Europe, the contagion that wiped out three-quarters of Europe's population. But the film is more political than medical. Because the research on plague in the United States is a secret act, killing people is the only way, otherwise it will explain how and where the virus came from. And what is the difference between letting the train go to the Cassandra Bridge and Hitler's concentration camp where Jews were sent to a concentration camp? The real purpose of the upper echelons to do something will never be known to the common people. What is the difference between the soldiers who maintain the orders of the upper echelons and the Nazi officers? In front of the state machine, all people are just parts, and they have no ability to turn the tide. All they can do is to follow the steps, otherwise they will be eliminated. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Hitler was only a winner and loser in World War II, and it seemed that he was not much different from Napoleon. Of course, slaughtering Jews in order to plunder wealth is an act against humanity, but in terms of motivation, there are too many such things in human history.

The Cassandra Crossing quotes

  • Col. Stephen Mackenzie: Good God woman! Do you think I would personally send a thousand people to their deaths?

    Dr. Elena Stradner: No. But I think you'd simply let them be killed. And that's almost worse.

  • Col. Stephen Mackenzie: [On speaker phone] I don't have to tell you what we're up against!

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: What you're up against? I may be the only doctor for a thousand potential plague victims if I haven't caught it myself.

    Col. Stephen Mackenzie: That's exactly why it's important to contain the disease now and why you'll all be heading for an isolation facility in Poland, where you'll get the very best...

    Dr. Jonathan Chamberlain: In the meantime, what do you intend I fight it with? Aspirin?
