Respect should be free.

After watching "The Last Castle", I always feel that there are some things that are not quite right. It was not until I read a film review on the Internet called "A Stories That Didn’t Need to Happen" before I revealed my implicit voice. The purpose is too clear, so clear that makes people feel over-exaggerated and too artificial, which has a lot to do with Americans making films to promote their capitalist spirit. However, it is conceivable that even a prisoner in an American prison has the right to pursue and fight for democracy and freedom. It can be seen that these things penetrate into the bones of every American, which is unimaginable in our country. (As for the reason, 10,000 words are omitted here).

There are still many people in our country who don’t understand the law and don’t respect the law. Many people think that the law is a system that restricts one’s freedom, but they never know that the law also serves as a safeguard for one’s social recognition, fairness, and equal adjudication. Referees, another reason is worth discussing. China is a society of personal affection. They believe in Kong Yongzhi's philosophy of "stay a line in doing things, so that we can meet each other in the future" and "to calm people down", but only believe that morality is the judgment of people and things. The only standard is to put morality above the law. This is wrong. Just like some plots in ancient times, killing the father and the enemy by hand is in line with moral standards. If you take revenge, you are often subject to "filial piety and loyalty." Praise, and the existence of the law today does not work. Killing is to pay for the life. After all, the law is harsh most of the time. But let’s not say that the law is imperfect. Talents are the real subject. Whatever the crowd is, this country will be the same. The people’s democratic consciousness will increase, and this country will naturally undergo some subtle changes, so this is this movie. The most serious angle of the movie.

The most profound scene in the movie is that the warden ordered the soldiers to shoot the prisoner general. Everyone put the guns down. General Irwin did not hang the flag upside down (seeking international support). He was shot and raised the flag. Everyone in life has dignity, and everyone should win the respect of others. If the way to win is to prove oneself, it is far from enough to get the approval of others because of one's own ability and power. Dishwashers, roadside cleaners, and even people on the street who make a living by begging are all. Whether we glance at it disgustingly or put a coin in a friendly way is our own choice.

True dignity is not narrow self-esteem, nor is it just the dignity of individual interests. At the end of the movie, they did not win the prison, but I faintly feel that what they have always wanted to take away is not the prison itself, but the dignity. Even prisoners and soldiers deserve the dignity. I know that for a soldier , Honor and dignity are really their lives.

    Ordinary people achieve careers, and great people inspire people's hearts: those who can endure grievances, endure injustices, and maintain a stable temperament are real people. , and whoever establishes order is a great man! Organized, planned, executed, able to accomplish things, even building walls can build a sense of honor, and I don't even have the slightest desire to read professional materials... Hey, the character of the male protagonist is really super calm, and his speaking style is not hurried. Xu

The Last Castle quotes

  • Irwin: [in the cafeteria] We can no long wear the uniform of the soldier. We forfeited that right and that includes me. I disobeyed an executive order, I violated my duty as a commanding officer. And eight men paid a catastrophic price. It's a mistake not easy to live with. So here I am just like you, a convicted criminal. Only difference between you and me is, I know I'm guilty.

    [the prisoners laugh]

    Irwin: So we're packed away here as prisoners. And one thing is certain, our captor have the power. They can humiliate us, they can beat us, they can lock us away in a dark hole for days on end. But there's one thing they cannot do. They cannot take away from us, who we *are*. And we are soldiers! And it is the one thing, the ONE thing that gives us a chance in here. And that nobody can take away!

  • Cpl. Ramon Aguilar: [while in the prison yard] That was a salute.

    Irwin: A sa... Oh, no.

    [laughs]

    Irwin: I don't think so. You know where saluting comes from?

    Cpl. Ramon Aguilar: No, sir.

    Irwin: It comes from medieval times. Two knights would approach each other on horseback. They would raise their visors and show their faces. It's like they're saying, "This is who I am. I'm not the enemy and I'm not afraid." A salute's about respect, son. Respect for yourself, the service and the flag.
