The most sigh is the delicate friendship between Donovan and Abel. These two people, representing different countries, have different interests, so why is there friendship? Is it because of inclusion? Donovan respects the Soviet spy for his loyalty, and Abel respects Donovan for his willingness to defend himself vigorously, even when he does things that are detrimental to his national interests. The main point of hesitation is how to get along with people? Why would there be doubt? Because I have seen a TED Talk before, there is such a sentence - "As individuals , we need to be able to hold both things. Both the good and the bad. The easy and the hard." "Her moral intergrity was so strongly rooted that she had the courage to hold both things." If what the other party does is harmful to national interests, how can we tolerate it? Should it be included? Is this the same problem Donovan faces? Why can Donovan defend Abel wholeheartedly? Wouldn't he have doubts in his heart? Thinking further, is Donovan excusing Abel? He was just fighting for Abel's human rights as a human being, as a criminal suspect. The point of Donovan's appeal is that there was unfairness in the trial process, and that Abel's rights as a prisoner were not guaranteed. He did not recommend the use of the death penalty because he felt that when an American spy was captured by the Soviet Union, the United States could chips without being passive. That is to say, Donovan defended Abel in order to ensure the fairness of the trial and prevent the unfair trial process caused by emotions. He did not argue for what Abel did, and he did not think that Abel was innocent. of. Now let’s go back to the question of “inclusiveness”. Donovan defended Abel in order to ensure the fairness of the judiciary, so he would try his best to defend and ensure the fairness of the judiciary, and did not arbitrarily debate because of Abel's identity. Are Abel and Donovan friends? The point I couldn't figure out at first was why Donovan could accommodate a person whose interests were far from his own? Now it seems that the problem is not so complicated. Donovan is just doing what he thinks is right - guaranteeing justice, and he later went to negotiate to rescue the captured American pilot and an American college student. They aren't even friends. They are all just doing what they think is right. This film is not about accommodating people who have moral views different from their own. Donovan helped Abel to defend and later travel to East Germany, not because he understood and tolerated this person who had a huge difference in his interests, but because he wanted to ensure the fairness of the judicial system and save the two Americans. When it comes to interests, there is nothing inclusive or intolerant. And the issues discussed in that TED Talk do not involve personal interests or national interests. It's just discussing that we should accommodate different cultures, like you can not eat Japanese sashimi, but you don't need to scold people who eat sashimi, there is no need to isolate people who eat sashimi The world is diverse transformed. When dealing with people, if interests are not involved, we can accommodate different cultures. After all, everyone grows up in a different environment. You can skip sashimi, but there is no need to insult those who eat sashimi. . When it comes to interests, the interests do not refer to money or anything, but to national interests. When it comes to personal long-term interests, we just do what we think is right. The issues discussed by Talk do not involve personal interests or national interests.

Bridge of Spies quotes

  • Rudolf Abel: Standing there like that you reminded me of the man that used to come to our house when I was young. My father used to say: "watch this man'. So I did. Every time he came. And never once did he do anything remarkable.

    James Donovan: And I remind you of him?

    Rudolf Abel: This one time, I was at the age of your son, our house was overrun by partisan border guards. Dozens of them. My father was beaten, my mother was beaten, and this man, my father's friend, he was beaten. And I watched this man. Every time they hit him, he stood back up again. So they hit him harder. Still he got back to his feet. I think because of this they stopped the beating. They let him live. "Stoit i muzhik," I remember them saying... "stoit i muzhik." Which sort of means like uh, 'standing man'. Standing man...

  • James Donovan: [forced to leave dining room before eating his meal] Enjoy your big American breakfast.
