This kind of 6-hour feature film comes with a filtering function. Those who are not interested or dislike it may not be able to stick to it. If you can insist on watching it, you like this kind of movie. So much content is a bit like "A Dream of Red Mansions". Some people see history from it, some people see the intricate relationship between the Middle East and Europe, and they can also see the ecology between small countries under the background of the Cold War. Here I am. Talk about your feelings about ideals.
The previous part of Carlos’s people are very idealistic. Combined with our generation’s years of communist education background, it is easy to understand the pursuit of their generation of revolutionaries, in order to oppose capitalism and imperialism, and to throw their heads on the working people. Passionate blood, realizing the value of life, according to Chairman Mao, death is considered heavier than Mount Tai; but the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, the abduction of OPEC in Vienna is very beautiful, but on the issue of Iran and Saudi oil ministers, Faced with the threat of life and the temptation of 20 million US dollars, he began to shrink back, and felt that the German female soldier "Nada" was a lunatic; in the later period, Carlos became more and more marketable and gradually moved away from his ideals. There is no big difference-it's just that the customers are bigger. In order to quell his comrades (or revolutionary comrades) doubts about behavior motives, he is also increasingly using "obedience to orders" as a prevarication, becoming more and more arbitrary, emphasizing the importance of discipline, and shooting his hand in the wall next to his daughter's room. .
Many young people admire Guevara, and most of them yearn for his free spirit. We are fed up with the rules of family, school and society. We are overwhelmed by academic, work and financial pressures. Imagine Guevara. Living only for ideals in that way makes life more meaningful. The same was true for Carlos when he was young, but combined with the history reviewed above, we can know that the passionate young man who advocated revolutionary freedom turned into a severe, cold and bloodthirsty killer. To put it simply: time finally turned himself into himself The kind of person I hate.
