      The bridge can be broken, the love is indelible

      When something appears 3 times in a row inadvertently, its presence is bound to tell us something.
              By chance, I read Chai Jing's "Seeing". There is a description of the SARS incident in 2003. One of the descriptions mentions "Cassandra Bridge". When one comes, are we still confused and ignorant? Or learn to face it, learn to be rational?
              The broken bridge is constantly, and the only thing that cuts off is mutual communication, tolerance and the courage to face...

      Why can't we ever make a film like the Cassandra Bridge?

      This is really a classic movie, but the question we should think about more should be: Why can't our country ever make a movie like Cassandra Bridge? I
         don't know if you have ever thought of this question: this movie is Exposing and criticizing the ugliness of NATO is not only to criticize the US government, but the whole goal is actually NATO, but which three countries made this movie? Those three countries are all NATO! Among the starring actors are American actors!
        Get it?...

      Responsibility is the most valuable

      Loved by everyone, Jonathan is the embodiment of justice and bravery. Yet I also admire Colonel MacKenzie more. The sentence that touched me the most: "Since you have become one, you have to be good." Seeing the Colonel's back leaving alone, I felt very distressed. He is a kind person, and no one can understand the pain of his inner struggle. In the face of politics, there is no right or wrong, only interests. Mackenzie defended the interests of the motherland, and he was a respectable man....

      set problem

      A technical problem was found:
      According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the so-called germ in the film is Yersinia pestis. Including the introduction of watercress also known as plague bacteria. And the mice and some symptoms in the film also clearly indicate that the bacteria is plague.

      And streptomycin was discovered in 1943, as the drug of choice for the treatment of plague, it can reduce the mortality rate to five percent. In other words, streptomycin made the plague no longer an...

      It has to be said that the introduction is more exciting than the film performance. But the plot is really good, and although the film performance is not as modern as it is, it is quite tasteful. In addition, when I clicked on the movie star pages of everyone in the cast list, I found that all of them were very...
