"Allow others to think differently than you"

The more I read To Kill a Mockingbird, the more I liked Atticus.

Atticus once said that killing a robin is a sin. Robins only sing to us and do nothing bad. They don't eat the fruits and vegetables in people's yards, they don't make nests in the corn barn, they just sing faithfully for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a robin.

He is not only kind to the robin, but also very tolerant to the people around him. He helped black people in lawsuits and never had unnecessary conflicts with others. He was not only strict with himself, but also very strict in raising his own children.

Therefore, his children are always different from the children of other families. Although they are sometimes naughty, they are very educated. They gradually acquire the qualities of their fathers. attack others.

He is very kind, always able to look at problems from the perspective of others, not just what he thinks, and he can insist on doing what he thinks is right without going against his conscience.

At one point, Jem lost his mind after an altercation with his neighbor, Mrs. Dubose, and rushed into her home to wreak havoc. Atticus didn't condone his mistakes, and he demanded that Jem apologize.

Because she was an elder, no matter whose fault it was, it was his fault that Jem went to her house to destroy it.

He also allowed Dubose's unreasonable request to let Jem read to her a little thing every day. Jem was very puzzled by this. He didn't understand why his father agreed. He felt that he had already apologized for the mistake he had made, and there was no need to accept such a request.

Atticus later explained that she was a woman, she was brave, she had a very different view of things than mine, alluding to the fact that she scolded him for speaking up for black people. Even so, he still believes that she has something worth learning from her children.

He is really a very gentleman. First of all, he respects women very much, and this respect is reflected in placing women on an equal position with himself, and allowing the other party to have different views from himself.

We are often stubborn and persistent in our belief that this should be the case, instead of accepting the opinions of others.

A few days ago, when I was shopping, I heard two girls talking about the hit "The Time of You and Me". One girl said that she liked Lin Qian played by Zhao Liying. Her reason was that Lin Qian was very individual and had personal ideals and pursuits. , dare to love and hate, be independent and never depend in love.

Another girl said, what is so good about Lin Qian, her family conditions are so good, she has lived like a princess since she was a child, she can do whatever she wants, and she can achieve such achievements because her background is strong enough to pursue her ideals without distractions. Grace is more attractive, she did not rely on anyone, she became a professional elite entirely by her own strength.

The girl who admired Lin Qian retorted, "What's so good about Grace? She always puts on an air and looks like she's on top. Every time she comes on stage, I fast forward. Then they quarreled about it, and they ended up arguing so hard that their faces were red, and no one paid any attention to the other.

In fact, their views have their own reasons. No one is right or wrong. The fault is that they do not allow others to have different views, and they are bent on persuading the other party to accept their own views.

Such people are prone to feeling arrogant and always feel that what they say is right and that other people's thoughts and opinions are not important at all. Many disputes in this world are caused by differences of opinion.

In fact, we are all easy to fall into such a situation, because we take ourselves too seriously, so we ignore the opinions of others and do not allow them to have different opinions.

Everyone and everything is not only A side, but also BCDEF side, one more person will have more ideas, and everyone's ideas are unique, and everyone's perspective is not comprehensive. And there are deficiencies, so we should all allow others to have a different view from ours.

In the past, I often had such a prejudice. I always stubbornly insisted on what I thought was right. When others put forward different opinions, I either fought hard, or did not accept it at all, and did not compromise.

When I grow up, I understand the differences and differences between people, because each of us has different personalities, different growth environments, and different education received from childhood, resulting in different ways and angles of thinking about problems. .

For example, I think that we should read more classic books, and some people think that we should dabble widely.

For example, I think I have too many things I don’t need, so I should keep only what I need. Some people think that every item has a fate that cannot be given up and should be kept.

For example, I think you should work harder while you are young. Some people think that no one knows who will come first tomorrow or unexpectedly, so it is better to have fun in time.

The famous writer Shakespeare has a famous saying that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. He is very clever about saying that everyone has a different view and teaching people to accept the views of others.

Since then, I no longer crave others to have the same opinion as me, I started to listen to other people's opinions and try to accept them, learn and grow from them.

At any time, don't be in a hurry to deny others, we should allow others to think differently from ourselves.

    The historical significance of the film may be greater than the significance of the film itself. Judging from today's perspective, there are many problems with its film language. For example, the layout of the suspense line and the legal line is very blunt, and the narrative has not achieved success on both lines. More viewers can feel that the characters in the film are highly facialized, that the film is pedagogical, and the intuitive perception is even similar to some socialist literary and artistic works. But from a historical perspective, the film and its highly loyal original are a social education novel about American racial issues. This positioning determines that each character in the play must assume a corresponding symbolic function. It is also set for a type of film. Basic issues, character relationships, and film grammar. The film is still enduring to this day, and I think it is also fueled by the American left wing that emphasizes "identity politics", but in fact, the film is highly white-centered in terms of perspective, and upholds the narrative logic of white people saving black people, and the upper class educating the lower class: The bottom whites are a hateful and ignorant rabble, while the blacks are innocent, without any initiative, the recipients of moral justice. Of course, this also coincides with the logic of the political action of the "white left" in the United States.

    It's an unexpected court movie, it was shot from a child's perspective. In the first hour, I almost thought it was "walking with me". The facts have proved that this long foreshadowing is still very necessary. The sense of succession and transition of the old movies is obvious, and Gregorian Parker is too tempting to marry. Don't kill a robin, all they do is sing...
