The Chinese translation of "To kill a mockingbird", "To kill a mockingbird", is a famous film that reflects racial discrimination starring Gregory Parker. I have always emphasized the literary nature of movies. Just like good literary works, good movies are far greater than the theme. Behind the expression of support for justice, I feel a broader truth: human beings are equal, and justice is therefore long live. It not only touches us, but also allows us to see beauty.

I have always believed that the more complex the hidden truths may be simpler, noble and intelligent people often use complex methods to defend the simplicity. To describe the complex era of racial discrimination, it is appropriate to use black and white films with pure colors (and it happens that the film is about whites discriminating against blacks), which clearly expresses that discrimination is nothing but a diametrically opposed simple stupidity, but also shows that the truth is. Harmony and unity of different tones. No matter how complicated the situation is, the complete and single simple tone of the film cries for the dark tragedy at the same time, it also tells us that the matter is actually very simple, that is, discrimination is simply wrong. The story goes like this. The robin only sings for humans without using anything from humans. Of course it shouldn’t be damned. The kind and innocent black Tom, like the robin, was eventually killed by the police because of the prejudice of the jury. Therefore, the tragedy seemed to envelope the hearts of the audience, and people began to lament the difficulty of justice. However, the film is not over, we can have reasonable expectations. Evey tracked down his children because he hated Parker’s lawyer who defended Tom. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, Arthur, who was a little more mysterious, stood up to protect the children. Evey got the punishment he deserved. According to the law, Arthur did this. The mockingbird will be killed again, but the end is: when the law betrays the truth, the truth will also abandon the law. This robin survived. It can be said that the film tells two stories, one is to kill a mockingbird! The other is to kill a mockingbird? At the end is the memory of the lawyer’s six-year-old daughter Scott: "Tomorrow is happy..." Yes, justice often cannot be won, but fighting for it is often moving because it is right, and what is the result. Is it important? But once justice prevails, then—beautiful.

In human history, the most insecure and bad fact of injustice is racial discrimination. Numerous literary and artistic works reflect this criminal thought. The film did not face this kind of thought directly, and thus launched a debate, because there is no such thing as that. Reasonable things are futile. The director took a different approach, using the eyes of a six-year-old girl to unfold the narrative of the story, criticizing it from the standpoint of pure beauty. In fact, when the truth is romantic, it has reached the height of great kindness and great beauty. Regarding racial discrimination, the most successful and difficult victory was the victory that Mandela led the people in South Africa. Why? Two sentences: we aren't free until we forgive; no future without forgiveness. Whether it is the hurt or the hurting person, they are not free and pitiful. Only if everyone forgive others and forgive like God, can all people lead to happiness together; they must go together and leave no one behind. Can. When everyone is a robin, everyone can be beautiful. Even if one kills one, things will be bad. Just as Marx said: Everyone's freedom is a condition of everyone's freedom.

Thinking of China, Confucius said in "The Analects of Confucius", but the two characters are loyalty and forgiveness. However, the current quality of the Chinese people really disappoints this great educator. When the death penalty began to disappear all over the world, too many people believed that heinous people, especially those who hurt themselves, should die immediately. In an era when people call attention to vulnerable groups all day long, too many people think that pedestrians violated traffic rules. Being hit by a car should bear the main responsibility; indeed, many Japanese discriminate against the Chinese, so too many people think that the Japanese deserve to die? ... The handling of any relationship and the degree of harmony in any society depend on the state of tolerance.

A deep understanding of "people" will forgive people, and if there is no forgiveness, there will be no future. Remember, don't kill a robin because of emotions.

This is the way to deal with the relationship with others, and it is the same way to deal with the relationship with yourself. These days, I'm starting to look for a job. As I expected, my situation is "cold dew drops and dreams are broken. I often tell my friends that I also like to eat meat and can eat meat, but I still choose to eat vegetables and know that I may not be able to eat anything in the end, but this behavior is not beautiful? Isn't it great for men to die for beauty? It is precisely because I understand the status quo of human beings that I have the passion to "clearly understand the virtues" to the maximum. I will not complain about anything, because we are all human beings, and we are all the same robins inside. We don’t deserve to die. Hand in hand and walk towards happiness. Someone understands, it's very good; no one understands, it doesn't matter. I am a robin and I shouldn't die. It doesn't matter if I die, because this kind of thinking will not die.

The only thing I fear is that life is short, "The male sword hangs on the wall, and the dragon chants from time to time; the rhinoceros keeps growing, and the moss grows shyly." Hope God bless me, let my robin start singing soon.
