Apocalypse of life, whether this evaluation is a bit irrelevant. But I think so, but it may not be appropriate in China.
The male lead is the famous Oscar star Al Pacino, which determines that the film is absolutely beautiful. This person is good at acting in underworld movies, and the author especially likes his peak work "The Godfather" trilogy. But I know that he won the Oscar, not because of the popular "Godfather", but because of this "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman". In this play he played the blind Lieutenant Colonel Slade, a tough, battle-hardened man.
Speaking of this movie, I will never forget two popular scenes, one is that he dances tango with a girl who met by chance (the tango is so touching, and the girl is really beautiful), and the other is his impassioned part near the end of the play 's long confession. Now this is a classic line that has been quoted time and time again. I've watched it many times, and I'm still moved by it.
Lieutenant Colonel Slade, an outdated and blind retired military officer, facing a group of mainstream elites who are about to step out of school to take on social responsibilities, facing the outdated school principal who tried to threaten Charlie's whistleblower with dropping out, facing non-speaking Poor Charlie, who was about to be expelled from school, stood up without shrinking, and made a splendid speech that people couldn't help but admire:
"To show you what breaking the rules is, you don't know what breaking the rules is, Mr. Trisk, I should have shown you. But I'm too old and tired, and I'm still fucking blind. If it were five years I'd burn this place down with a flamethrower before! Breaking the rules? Who do you think you're talking to? I'm a battle-hardened veteran. I could still see back then, I saw something as big as them The kids had their arms blown off and their legs amputated, but they weren't as scary as ugly souls, because souls don't have prosthetic limbs. Do you think you're just sending this good young man back to his home in Oregon like a reserving dog?? His soul!! Why?! Just because he's not enough to be a Baird? Baird, if you hurt this kid, you're Baird's bastards, you are all. Harry, Jimmy, Thrun Te, no matter where you sit, see your ghosts!"
Headmaster: "Please be quiet, Lieutenant Colonel Slade."
"I haven't finished yet. As soon as I entered here, I heard those words: 'The cradle of future leaders'. If the shelf breaks and the cradle falls, it has already fallen. Build youth and train future leaders. People, look! Be careful, what kind of leaders are you cultivating, I don't know! Is it right or wrong for Charlie to stay silent today, I'm not a judge, but I can tell you that he won't betray his future Betray anyone. Friends! That's what they call integrity, that's courage, that's the quality of a future leader. Now I'm at a crossroads in my life, and I've always known which way is right, no need Doubt, I know, but I never took it, why? Because it was too difficult. It was Charlie's turn, and he was also at a crossroads in his life. He chose a path, a path that had principles and fulfilled his personality. Let him continue down this road, the future of this kid is in your hands, members, he will have a bright future, trust me, don't ruin him! Protect him! Support him! I promise You'll be proud of this one day! I promise."
Lieutenant Colonel Slade's righteous speech was shocking, but in contrast, I was more delighted by the thunderous applause given to Lieutenant Colonel from the audience. This proves the correctness of a saying that Chinese people used to say: evil does not prevail over good. Without this applause, everything would be meaningless. All the tragedies in China lie in the lack of applause in response to justice.
However, my imagination is running around, what if this scene happened in China, and in our current era? This is indeed an intriguing question.
I was imagining that the thunderous applause was the least expected at first, and a murmur in the hall was definitely possible.
"Who does this man think he is!? He has eaten the guts of a leopard. How dare he fight against the principal."
"Isn't it! Charlie is in trouble now. Why are you still standing there? Why don't you pull him down quickly?"
"What's this person's background? It's not a secret visit from a central leader in Weifu!"
--------------------
Amidst the whispers, Ah Q, the representative of the rogue proletariat, spoke up. At this moment, the most revolutionary may be Ah Q. From Ah Q's point of view, the dreaded principal, Mr. Zhao, was actually hated and scolded by a blind man. It was obvious that the blind man was more powerful than Mr. Zhao. Judging from his majestic appearance, he was definitely a revolutionary party. If you don't make a statement at this time, if you pass this village, you won't have this store again!
I saw Ah Q scratching the back of his skinny head and saying:
"This principal is too hateful! Too hateful! Killing these mothers... Even me, I will surrender to the Blind Revolutionary Party."
It's just that Ah Q's impassioned confession failed to cause the slightest disturbance on the field.
When Ah Q was at a loss, he suddenly saw an old man stand up. When Ah Q looked at him, he looked like a fake foreign devil. Just listen to him say:
"Of course what this gentleman said has a reason, but it does not conform to the national conditions of our country. After all, the principal is the principal of a school, so how can anyone abuse him casually." Then, he turned his head and pointed at Ah Q and said, "Where is this place? There's a place for you to speak again."
The few words of the fake foreign devil were quite popular, so many people got up and responded accordingly:
"Ah Q, you can go down quickly! Don't be ashamed here."
In the chaos, the principal knocked on the gavel and said:
"Quiet! Quiet! Today at our school's disciplinary meeting, some dissidents were brought in to sabotage and make trouble. Now the principal announces: In view of this blind man who maliciously slandered the principal and is dissatisfied with the state system, he is now expelled from the school and asked the police to The agency and the psychiatric hospital will appraise and deal with it. Since Charlie also has serious mental problems, he will be ordered to drop out of school immediately. At the same time, when the blind man spoke just now, the recording studio staff failed to block it in time, which caused a very bad impact. It will be dismissed from the beginning. I appreciate it."
In this article I describe the principal of this school as "tritty" and so on, but I can't help but wonder if he is really "tritty". Because in what I feel today's social ethics, it seems that more people should say that the blind lieutenant colonel is more "old-fashioned". Why?
Because he upholds justice, because he defends the weak, because he attacks authority, because he pursues integrity, because he protects a pure soul—isn't this "stale" in our day? I'm sure there must be many of us who accuse the lieutenant colonel of being more "stale". It's not just "old-fashioned", it's simply "pedantic". Yes! Why does the lieutenant colonel need to fight for a stupid boy who has nothing to do with him and meets by chance? What is the benefit to me by wasting my time for him and offending the principal? Isn't it "pedantic" to make a name for yourself? Is this in my own interest? Criticizing justice and staying away from justice, isn't this more in line with the characteristics of our country and this era? what do you say?
I really hope that someday, this clip will be put into our elementary school textbooks to teach children a truth: the soul has no prosthetic limbs.
