After watching it for a long time, I don't even think I found the right movie. "Smell the fragrance to know a woman", what a charming title, how is it a rude and domineering blind man who is a group of young students and campus farce, like Hong Zhong's spittle? This has nothing to do with enchanting.
There are a lot of great moments in the movie: the tango show, the Ferrari racing, the eloquent speech at the Teacher-Student Life Committee hearing... But the most meaningful, I think, is the part where Frank goes to a woman--for a very short time, When you go and when you come back, you are two different people. Of course, if the woman's professional quality was higher, she would not let the guest have such a strong sense of frustration, and let the guest return in high spirits. I don't think Frank is going to change his mind and keep his own under the gun. That is to say, he can only be saved by his "guide dog": Charlie - with courage and unadulterated kindness. A 17-year-old boy who dares to stand at gunpoint, at the crossroads of self-preservation, whistle-blowing, sacrificing his future, and adhering to principles, there can be no suspense, only miracles - both fulfilling his principles and preserving his future. . Therefore, the most climax of the film, Frank's unstoppable and eloquent wonderful speech, is actually no suspense - you save my life and I save your future, and reciprocate.
Concealing the truth (lying) vs whistleblowing, which one to choose? I don't think there will be a second option. It is considered the most vile, insidious, and the most shameless to tell other people's secrets. Although many people rely on this to achieve prosperity, or to steal happiness, or to achieve their own needs. It's just that the soul is missing an arm and a broken leg. It must be painful, right? In "Nineteen Eighty-Four", children are organized into "juvenile scout teams" to expose their parents to the Thought Police, "It is almost common for people over the age of 30 to fear their own children." In Bei Dao's "The Gates of the City", Xu Shixin, secretary of the Party branch of his father's work unit (China Association for the Promotion of Democracy), recorded that during the Cultural Revolution, he once called the children of several officials of the organization together, and inspired the children to tell their fathers where they were. behavior at home. That episode was one of the darkest and scariest moments in the entire book. It is not difficult to see that in the case of whistle-blowing, the boss or relevant departments are the real winners. He or it is satisfied, as for the informant's soul from being mutilated and weeping secretly from now on, what does it have to do with him or it?
"You're cultivating a team of mice here, a bunch of betrayer begging for honor..."
"I've seen many, many younger boys with twisted arms and broken legs. Those are not as scary as ugly souls! Souls are impossible! With a prosthetic leg! You thought you were just sending this good young man home like a stray dog? You were executing his soul..."
"When I came here, I heard the saying of "the cradle of leaders." , the cradle will collapse..."
"I don't know if Charlie's silence was right or wrong today, but I can tell you that he would never betray anyone for his future. And that, friends, is called integrity! It's also called courage! That's what leadership is all about."
"When I was at a crossroads in my life, I knew which way was right. Without exception, I knew. But I didn't go, do you know why? It was so hard. And Charlie , he has also come to a crossroads in his life. He has chosen the right path - full of principles, the path to individuality - let him continue his journey. His future is in your hands, everyone. Absolutely Valuable choice, trust me. Don't destroy it, protect it, embrace it. One day you'll be proud of it. I promise."
This long speech was roused by Alfredo James Pacino. Every time the ugly dances, I long for someone, or just myself, to give it such a beautiful blow!
