Love VS Terrorist Attack

Leopold 2022-08-25 21:36:05

The pain caused by the terrorist attack is not too much hysteria nor too much political element, just like the character in the film is just an ordinary person in the city of London, and it is plainly displayed in the movie.

I remember that a professor recommended a book called "Clash of Civilizations" when I was in college. I rarely read books that were close to my major, or that described writings related to politics and other interests, but that book was quite good. Remember it till now.

I remember that the book talked about the problems that existed between different nations and different cultures. I don’t know what kind of culture and which kind of doctrine is more humane, but I am sure that terrorism is a sin. In the movie, the mothers endured the pain of losing their husbands and children, which made people feel unbearable and sad. Aside from her infidelity to her husband's marriage to her husband, she is just a great mother.

and'The letter she wrote to Saddam in the movie still had to say to Saddam, which personally feels very brilliant. The emotions are sincere and moving. Yes, as long as there is love, there is hope.


In addition: Ewan McGregor, who once guessed the train, played the daily newspaper reporter in the movie. After so many years of guessing the train, his figure is fatter, his face is more fleshy, and his head is also bigger than before, but it’s okay. This temperament has not changed at all. I still like it.

Another thing: Recently there are a lot of things related to guessing trains. It seems that the film director of the poor millionaire who took away the Oscars this time is the one who directed the train guessing at the time:)

Incendiary quotes

  • Young Mother: Do you think it's possible to love someone and betray them at the same time?

  • Young Mother: [last lines - narration] People thought it was the end of the world. But the world didn't end. So they rebuilt the city in 3 years, stronger and taller. London is a city built on the wreckage of itself, Osama. It's had more come backs than the evil dead. It's been flattened by storms and flooded out and rotted with plague. Even Hitler couldn't finish it off. Death nor flame was like hell, my grandmother said, just one endless sea of flames. But we built on the rubble, and we kept on coming like zombies. I *am* the city, Osama. I am the whole world. Murder me with bombs and I will only build myself again, and stronger. I'm too stupid to know better.

    Young Mother: The Sun says you are an evil monster, but I don't believe in you, and I know it takes two to tango. I know you're vexed at the leaders of the western world. Well I'll be writing to them too.

    Young Mother: [as baby is being born] I know you're a clever man, Osama. Much brighter than me. If I can make you see my son with all your heart for just one moment, I know you would stop making boy-shaped holes in the world - it would make you too sad. Love is not surrender, Osama. Love is furious and brave and loud. You could hear it in the noise my boy made when he played with his cars.

    The Boy: [memory of him playing] Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

    Young Mother: I wish you could have heard him, Osama. That noise is the fiercest and the loudest sound on earth. It will echo 'til the end of time. It is more deafening than bombs. Come to me. Come to me and we'll blow the world back together with incredible noise and fury.
