cruelty is sometimes justified

On the bus, the man sitting next to me would shake his limbs at intervals, and his mouth would make sounds like foul language from time to time. He tried hard to stay within the seat space, and the movement was either knocking on the seat in front or down.
I was reminded of Tourette Syndrome. His voice and movements kept repeating, and with each stop, there were more and more vacancies in the car. I secretly encouraged myself to resist the urge to change seats and be at peace. Perhaps, they are trying not to disrupt other people's lives, but they cannot avoid people's isolation. The range of his movements suddenly increased, and I was startled. Finally, I lost my fear and changed to a separate seat.
He snapped and moved his seat. I felt a little guilty. I don't know why, but I always felt that my behavior was inappropriate. Annoyingly cursed himself.
Before he got to the station, he stood up and stood by the handrail at the back door, perhaps not intending to sit again. Only then did he see clearly that he was carrying a transparent folder, and when he stood by the door, he looked very gentle. When he got out of the car, I was still looking through the window to see if there was any constant weird movement - I just wanted to make sure my judgment was accurate.
You have to know enough to not be afraid.
People's pity for the world, like pity for themselves, is often pale.
I admit that I'm a little too naive, not afraid to open my arms and hug people who need hugs.

The fringe between the same group, cold, defensive, like "Crash". A good movie makes people of different skin tones recognize their indifference, ignorance, and sensitivity to another group, so that they each take a step back and make room for each other. There is no such good movie in China. Although, the director's approach is also provocative.
Great movie, great music. But when I liked the white youth police officer, he opposed racial discrimination and tried to resolve a conflict caused by skin color, but in the end, he mistakenly thought that the black youth who hitchhiked was going to attack him, and he shot him without explanation. I can't help screaming, why is it arranged like this? He couldn't escape this shackle in his life.
Well, finally I quiet down. This kind of picture must appear in the movie, so that such incidents can be less likely to occur in reality, and that people who step into the cinema can get a wake-up call when they walk out: Human beings are bad, but we can still love each other a little more. .
I admit cruelty is sometimes justified.

    CRASH is not only a car crash, but also a race and human collision. I can only sigh heavily.

    Oscar's Best Picture of 2005? ! It's really great. It is a good learning material for screenwriters who are particularly keen to learn screenwriting and intersect many stories with each other, just like 11:14. Especially the various conflicts caused by racial issues are designed so richly, so that we can see a United States that we do not fully understand. Every conflict occurs for a reason, and there is a sound character support, which is very rare. The little girl is amazing

Crash quotes

  • Flanagan: Actually, we were thinking of you until we saw that. It's your brothers file. Twenty something years old and already three felonys. Three Strikes Law, the kid's going away for life for stealing a car. Christ, that's a shitty law. There's a warrant in there. But still, he had every opportunity you had. Fucking black people, huh?

    Graham: So, uh... all I need to do to make this disappear is to frame a potentially innocent man.

    Flanagan: What are you? The fucking Defender of All Things White? We're talking about a white that shot three black men and you're arguing with me, that maybe we're not being "fair" to him? You know, what? Maybe you're right. Maybe you're right. Maybe Lewis did provoke this. Maybe he got exactly what was coming to him. Or, maybe, stoned or not, being a black man in the valley was enough to get him killed. There was no one there to see who shot first, so there is no way way to know. Which means, we could get this wrong. Maybe that's what happened with your brother. Maybe we got it wrong. Maybe Lewis isn't the only one who deserves the benefit of the doubt. You're the one closest to all this. You need to tell us. What does your gut tell you?

  • Flanagan: The D.A's squad loses its lead investigator next month. Rick is quite adamant that his replacement be a person of color. It's a high profile position, and he wants to send the right message to the community.

    Graham: And the right message is look at this Black Boy I bought?
