After listening to the "Round Table Party" and talking about the starring role of this film, I came to see it. Two and a half hours of film, I finished it patiently: unlike many commercial blockbusters, this kind of film gives a relatively big stimulation every once in a while, and needs to calm down and immerse it in the director’s narration and the starring Lewis’ story. The charm goes, and then you can feel something.
The movie "Lincoln" gave me the greatest feeling: the "all men are created equal" that we now take for granted is not always obeying the "law of heaven", but the result of people's struggles in history. It's taken for granted now, as the film shows, and it's taken for granted that during the Civil War, many Democrats thought "slavery" was right.
Speaking of which, I watched the movie "Gone with the Wind" before, and I finished watching the film "Lincoln" today. Both are the background of the Civil War. The difference is that the former is the first perspective of southerners, and the latter is the other way around. In their respective perspectives, "Yankee" and "Southern nigger" have become the unjust party. This got me thinking: what is justice? Is it the historical choice of the majority of a system? When other systems come with new justice, they must struggle to produce new justice, right?
