I've read a lot of movie reviews, all from a positive perspective. The movie itself is good, but I disagree with the values that subtly output. Sometimes, a country that does not know how to respect human rights is the most likely to criticize other countries. This film escape from Pretoria is just the tip of the iceberg of this history, please Baidu "How did South Africa become a British colony?"
Britain's implementation of "class equality" in this land is not out of the kindness of the Queen of Great Britain, but because it covets the rich minerals of this land and wants to establish a colony that is submissive to the Queen of Great Britain. In order to resist the British army, the aborigines Raul people were born and died and adopted guerrilla tactics in Pretoria. The British army had no choice but to implement the inhumane scorched earth policy. The treatment in the prisoner of war camp was not very humane. Why don't the British talk about human rights at this time?
Otherwise, do you think that in the 19th century, when the sun never sets, the Empire's colonies occupied a quarter of the world's land, and 400 to 500 million people surrendered to Queen Victoria's skirt. Is it reasonable? If you want me to say that when it comes to human rights, the UK is one of the countries that don't know how to respect human rights and talk about human rights in a high-sounding manner!
First of all, I want to say that we please look at any work with a neutral eye, and I said "any work". When we are watching a movie, we may be imbued with values invisibly. When such values are preconceived, we will think that it is completely correct, completely caught in the vortex of winners and losers. In the middle, a leaf blinds the eyes without knowing it.
What Westerners are best at is to show only the victim's side in events, such as "Escape from Tehran", people only know that Iran is detaining American diplomats, but they don't know the reason. The United States has long provided the Shah of Pahlavi with substantial military and economic aid in exchange for Iranian oil supplies and a strategic presence in the Middle East. But with the advancement of democracy in Iran, in 1953 the reformist Mohammad Mossadegh was elected prime minister of Iran. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency used political manipulation from it to help King Pahlavi and conservatives stage a coup to overthrow Mosaddegh. King Pahlavi's personal wealth has sparked public anger against the United States and the pro-American government. Objectively speaking, this is a contest of politics and values between the two sides. Is America on the side of justice? Not really.
Furthermore, some people complain about the gap between the electoral systems in China and the West. The funny thing is that most of the Chinese people don’t know what their political system is, and they are basically misled: 1. China is a country with universal suffrage. You would never have imagined that China is a country with one person, one vote, and deputies to the National People’s Congress are elected by one person, one vote. of. Single constituency system, no party censorship, no nomination restrictions; 2. China is a complete republic, so the highest power structure is the National People's Congress, similar to the parliament. system is identical.
The latter difference is that counties, cities, provinces, and the whole country are all these people to complete the election work, and ordinary people no longer participate in such professional political issues.
For example, our country is a boat. Western-style democracy allows the whole boat to vote for one person to sail the boat, and we choose one person from the people who can sail the boat to sail the boat. In essence, these are just two different democratic systems. From a macro perspective, is it not very intolerant and undemocratic to simply deny one of the systems?
Therefore, everyone is an adult with a high degree of education. Stop viewing the world with the black-and-white view of history of primary school students and middle school students. Many problems are multi-faceted, and any system has both good and bad sides.
