The entire drama is impeccably performed from the actors’ performances, respect for history to the small details of costumes and props.
I don’t know much about the history of the United States, but only the parts that I know and what is shown in the drama. It is exactly the same, including some props that have only appeared in one shot, and they are also copied from the original in history.
The series also describes the legendary life of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Both were the fathers of the United States and participated in drafting and signing the Declaration of Independence. Both stayed in France. After returning to China, Adams became the first vice president and the second As president, Jefferson became the second vice president and the third president. As the two people's political views gradually became disagreeable, Jefferson later funded newspapers that opposed Adams, and reported that they often attacked and slandered Adams, including personal attacks. The two stopped contacting each other for many years. Fortunately, both of them lived long enough. Adams felt very lonely when he experienced the pain of bereavement in his later years. So he wrote to Jefferson. The two began to communicate frequently. In his later years, Adams had a statue of Jefferson and Jefferson's house. Then there is a statue of Adams. At this time, the two of them are simply Soulmates. When Adams was ninety years old, his son Quincia Adams became the sixth president of the United States. Jefferson wrote to congratulate him. Adams was very happy after reading it. He said No one living in this world knows me better than Jefferson. The following year, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the two giants who led the American independence, both passed away. Before they died, the two were still talking about each other.
There is a scene in the drama that has a deep memory. When the nation was first founded, the United Kingdom and France broke out with the United States in the middle. General Washington believed that the country was too weak to fight, and that meaningless wars inevitably brought meaningless casualties, so we must guard strictly. neutral. But at the time, the crowds were enthusiastic and they strongly demanded war. They scolded Washington for selling the United States to France, and gathered many people around the presidential palace to demonstrate. I am still surprised to see this. I know that Americans have always been dissatisfied with the president. It is commonplace to criticize and mock the president, but I did not expect that as the founding father of the country, General Washington, his prestige can hardly be compared in American history. The second person in the United States, even if it is such a president, the public may still scold him. In this matter, I think that the American people are irrational. But compared to the people of a certain country who don’t know much, the people of a certain country have been looking forward to the arrival of a savior. As soon as the "savior" appeared, they prostrated under his feet and handed over all their rights. Don't come back either.
At the end of the film, Adams, who walked with his wife on the road to heaven, said: posterity does not need to know how difficult it is to maintain freedom, but if posterity does not cherish the freedom in hand, I will definitely regret fighting for freedom in heaven.
Adams can watch. The two words independence and freedom have penetrated into the bones of Americans. Americans are always vigilant about events that may violate civil liberties, and they are always fighting against powers that violate civil liberties. Freedom does not make people strong, but it does. Reagan said that it is possible to be strong. But in my opinion, freedom almost certainly brings strength. When the United States was first established, it was only a backward agricultural country. France was not willing to lend money to it, for fear that the United States could not afford it. After just two hundred years, the United States is now the most powerful country in the world.
The opening picture of the series is a flag embroidered with rattlesnakes. Later, I read that it was the flag of the rebels during the Revolutionary War. After many years, this flag was no longer used but replaced by the Stars and Stripes. But I think they have been two hundred years old. The inherited spirit of freedom has not changed.
John Adams once said: I want to study diplomacy and art of war so that my son can learn mathematics and philosophy in a free environment, and my son should study navigation, trade and agriculture, so that their descendants have the right to study painting, poetry and music. .
So when will Chinese people be able to study painting, poetry and music freely?
