Ideal, reality, justice, honesty, fairness, justice, these seemingly beautiful words often conflict with each other in reality.
1. Even if it is absolutely correct, it is impossible to use dictatorial means
[liberation of black slaves] a proposition that is no longer correct, but in that era, it was as difficult as the sky. The law clearly stipulates that black slaves are private property. Even if Lincoln is the president, he is insisting on something that he thinks is right and is in fact absolutely correct, and he cannot use dictatorial methods forcefully.
[Compared to our history, those who are willing to take the risk of history, when they know that their ideas are correct and cannot rely on legal procedures to implement, we usually choose dictatorship, which is simple and smooth and also becomes a hero]
This is The first shock is that democracy may not be the best, but it really protects us from going too bad to the greatest extent possible. On this point, Martin Luther King and Lincoln probably have the same understanding that violence is definitely not the best way to solve everything. Opposing violence should be promoted as opposed to slavery.
2. There is no absolute light.
In order to pass the bill, Lincoln agreed to the conservatives to negotiate with the South, but at the same time he could not end the war before the end of the bill. He was in a dilemma, and he finally chose the method of [speaking part of the truth]. . It's not absolutely righteous, but he sacrificed part of his self-persistence for the greater purpose, while also taking huge risks.
This point is equally shocking. There is no perfect system in the world. If we blindly work within the framework, we forget our original intention.
[You can't forget the original intention when you set off because you have gone too far]
3. Willpower is important, but it is more effective to break down the weaknesses of human nature one by one
Lincoln was strong-willed throughout the incident, even though the family and the team behind him were in different troubles. But he didn't just rely on [probation] to get 13 tickets (the mainland movies are too many inexplicable [probation]), he not only persuaded to defeat one by one, but also used power to bribe and intimidate. For politicians, this is as normal as drinking water, and the movie does not hide it because [Lincoln was the greatest American president in the 19th century].
This point of the movie is really admirable, and Mr. Lincoln's behavior doesn't detract from his greatness at all.
If Chinese films want to move forward, they must learn to apply good and evil evenly to the characters, otherwise the tall and empty characters will not allow the audience to understand human nature and the deeper concept of the film.
