We want to create an equal world, but is equality okay?

"We hope to create a socialist country where everyone is equal, everyone is wealthy, and there is no jealousy, but we are still human in the end, we will be jealous of our closest partners, some people have love, some people have no love, and some people will be jealous of what doesn't belong to us In love, there are also poor people in socialist countries, there are rich people, the poor have the love of the poor, the rich have the love of the rich, and the poor will be jealous of the rich," said Danilov, a political commissar of the Soviet Republic. When he created the hero Vasily, and framed Vasily out of jealous selfishness, when he let the little boy die under his own selfishness, when he lost the girl he loved most, he said In this case.

But the truth may have been written in the beginning. When the soldiers were sent to the ship unarmed from the train, their high spirits and determination to defend their homeland and their country, and their bright blue eyes and eyes, with the continuous bombardment and constant The wailing of someone falling was extinguished a little at sea. The passionate pre-war mobilization from the bravest commander standing on the boat was drowned out by the sound of shells, and reading the family letter of the young soldier's mother did nothing to stop the panicked soldiers from jumping off the boat for a chance, and the brave commander took out pistol, killed the traitor who jumped ship. The fact is that people who don't take their own lives seriously, don't take other people's lives seriously, aren't they treated equally?

Equality is a trap, everyone is born different, we have all kinds of small characteristics, some people are good-looking, some people are not good-looking, some people are smart, some people are not smart, some people are dull but persistent, some people We can be very happy without perseverance, we will be jealous of other people's wisdom, we will long for love that is not our own, but it is these unique places that make us shine. These innate structures and acquired experiences shape unique individuals. Yes, we are all greedy and want a lot of money like a lot of money, we are also all jealous of our friends, also all selfish and egoistic animals, we cooperate and compete with each other in a huge society, some people are good Teammates, some people are good opponents, but everyone can find their own position, strive for their own best interests, and try not to offend others as much as possible. Many individuals form a unit, and many units form a city. The calculation of inequality is the fascinating part of society. He will evolve itself, and if everyone is the same and what you think is what I think, it is neither realistic nor fun.

My favorite place in the play is the moment when Colonel Conney was targeted by Vasily, and he took off his hat at the moment when he knew that he could never escape. The respect for the powerful opponent is here.

There is also the scene where Tanya runs to Vasily's bed, surrounded by soldiers. Can not help but sigh, young people are too good at playing.

Enemy at the Gates quotes

  • Vassili Zaitsev: On this day, September 20th 1942, a young shepherd boy from the Urals arrived in the city of Stalingrad on the banks of the Volga. His name is Vassilij Zaitzev. Like thousands before him he came to answer comrade Stalin's call. Armed only with a rifle, he quickly made the fascist invader realise that from now on he would be punished for every step he took in the motherland, that from here on the only way was back.

  • Vassili Zaitsev: Shouldn't we try and make the point that I'm not the only one fighting?

    Commisar Danilov: That's an excellent idea. We can take it even further though. Your battle for the production of coal is as worthy as mine. There's no 'k' in coal. Just one 'l'. Tell me if I'm going too fast.

    Vassili Zaitsev: No, you're not going too fast. Is there any other improvements?

    Mother Filipov: Why don't you get some rest? These letters can wait until tomorrow.

    Vassili Zaitsev: We should carry on. We're not tired. Thank you, Mrs. Filipov. These people took the trouble to write to us. Tomorrow we might not be around to write back.
