After watching the Oscar-winning film "The Secret of the School Choir", I felt a lot, and its metaphor will surely resonate with the American entertainment industry and the press. Just as the film emphasizes that everyone has the freedom to sing and should not be artificially suppressed, the natural right to freedom of speech should not be suppressed by authority (such as Trump telling the press to shut up, etc.). At the end of the film, the youth choir representing disadvantaged groups overcomes the fear and repression of authority (teachers) with honesty, friendship, integrity, solidarity and other precious and beautiful qualities of human beings, and overcomes fraud, deceives the world, and distorts the youth. The ugly disguise of humanity. Such camouflage is not uncommon in a few authoritarian countries such as North Korea, and in the current United States, it is precisely what the elites in the intellectual circles are alert to. The film also reminds people to remember the unspoken truth in the Declaration of Human Rights: All men are created equal, this God-given right to people is inalienable, and no one should be born silent! The film also warns people: people's natural and physiological starting points are different, but no one has the right to deprive him or her of the opportunity to work hard in the future, and to provide equal opportunities and environment to work hard is precisely the freedom of the individual. An effective way to realize dreams and make a country prosperous and strong. The realization of the American Dream is based on this idea for hundreds of years. Here, I think of the famous British historian JB Bury (1861-1927) said on the last page of "The Reasons for Freedom of Thought" in Chapter 8 of his 1948 book A History of Freedom of Thought: "We should do everything in our power to impress upon young people that freedom of thought is the progress of mankind. Axiom. However, I am afraid it will take a long period of time to achieve this. Because our early education of children is based on authority." (See Commercial Press Chinese translation of the famous book 2012 edition "The History of Free Thought" P156) . In the final scene of the film, the director is ingenious. When the teacher who symbolized power and directed and planned the disguised chorus had no choice but to leave, a crisp childish singing suddenly sounded in silence, and then the voices of nature sang in unison by all the teenagers. The voice, it is like a star breaking through the haze of the night sky, illuminating and warming people's hearts: the innocence, honesty and sincere friendship of boyhood will live with us forever! Finally, I would like to conclude this article with the famous thought expressed by the 19th century British philosopher and economist John Mill in his 1859 On Liberty: "If the whole of mankind, except one, agrees, and There is only one person who holds the opposite opinion, and there is no reason why humans should not let that person speak. Just as once that person is in power, there is no reason why humans should not speak." (There are many versions of this book, and this sentence is generally included in the preface) . Emotional.
