      Individual Will and Social Construction

      The film is actually a bit average, and adding one star is a gift for my own thinking.

      Is it the loss of the ability to think, so that you can't distinguish between good and evil, or is obedience and cooperation a conditioned reflex instinct that leads to an extreme evil?

      I think that it is not necessarily that the will of the individual is wiped out, but that the individual's belief in committing himself to the community is so strong that he makes the purpose of the community...

      "Hannah Arendt"

      I just finished watching it, my emotions are a little excited, and the language is not very smooth, but it is all true feelings, from the heart.

      The editor asked her: Did you add your own opinion to it?

      A: I am doing my best to be fair

      The continuation of the survival and prosperity of the race is the deep principle buried in the bones of gregarious creatures, and each individual and each nation will...

      The Evil of Banality: False Thoughts, Feelings, and Expectations

      What impressed me most about the film was the original black and white clip of Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. The director skillfully combined them with the plot of the film to restore the trial of the century to the greatest extent possible. Eichmann did not have any sense of shame and repentance when defending his crimes, but appeared clear-minded and plausible, "I am just a person who executes the orders of the superiors. I am an innocent gun, aiming and firing I wasn't the one with...

      Hannah Arendt

      I knew almost nothing about Hannah before watching the movie, and I don't know anything about it anymore. The depth and advance of her thoughts are simply admirable and unpredictable. Rather than writing about Hannah's life, the film focuses on the writing of the book "The Banal Evil" and the events surrounding it. She is so rational and objective that it almost makes people feel cold and emotionless. He himself, as a Jew, was deeply persecuted by the Nazis, but he was able to jump out...

      Hannah Arendt: The Courage to Think

      Because there is a cameo by Heidegger in this film, and I know Arendt's "The Origin of Totalitarianism", so I went to watch it, and here are some feelings. Although it is centered on the trial of Eichmann, it is only an experience of Arendt, and more of it reflects the characteristics and thinking of Arendt, especially some of the memory fragments interspersed in it (although the performance is not enough) , which also shows that he was deeply influenced by Heidegger. - "Thinking is a lonely...

      I love Arendt, but only from a cinematic point of view, what this tells has little visual value (the most valuable is the real historical image of the trial of Eichmann), or it almost only does What words can do. "Mediocre" movies. | The director is actually Schlondorff's ex-wife....

      Mediocrity is mediocrity without the ability to think. Evil is the evil that allows oneself to seek collective or honor and hurt others. The so-called mediocrity is the...

      The concept of banal evil obviously does not meet the needs of expressing hatred in people's hearts. She has been called "cold" and "showing off intelligence", but time has proved that Arendt's insight into human nature is effective, although it is still...

      Recent biopics seem to favor excerpts rather than the lives of their protagonists. First of all, as a movie, it is really not friendly to the audience. The relevant background events and character introductions have been taken carelessly. The dialogues between the characters often go astray and go astray. Of course, the translation of the subtitles team is also responsible. The most exciting is Hannah Arendt's speech at the end of the film, the idea of ​​banal evil and strong personality are...
