The world today is "very" peaceful. There is no longer a hero like William Wallace who rises up for the so-called freedom, and we don't seem to need any heroes anymore. When it comes to freedom, people will tell you that there is no absolute freedom, and freedom without boundaries is not freedom. Yes, you think it makes sense. Everyone does what they want, isn't this world just messed up?
But is freedom really as illusory as people say? Isn't it specific and closely related to our lives? It's like talking about how important dieting is to health without even having enough food and clothing. Isn't this sad? Isn't this a disregard and blasphemy of life?
So, what is freedom?
After watching "Brave Heart", I think I probably know something.
For the first official confrontation, the selfish and selfish Scottish aristocrats, who were greedy for life and fear of death, retreated one after another as they watched the English army stand in battle. (Hero forever) William Wallace stood up and said: Fight, you may die. Escape, we may live for a while, but in the end we will all die! So, would you like to use so many days of living to exchange for another opportunity, the only opportunity! That is to return to the battlefield and tell the enemy that they may be able to take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!
Therefore, first of all, freedom is not to live under the rule of tyranny, and to live a life of fear. Freedom is free from frantic squeeze and cruel trampling of wives. Freedom is in the mountains of Scotland, living and working in peace, wives and children in groups, outings, and horseback riding.
After the victory of the war, the Scottish nobles appointed Wallace officials and knights. It seemed that they were reunited, but the nobles were content with the status quo, fighting for power internally, corrupting and degenerating, regardless of the subjects who served them. Seeing through their falsehood, Wallace decided to lead the soldiers on an expedition and continue to fight for freedom. When he left, he said to the nobles who were immersed in joy: You think that people living here are to show your status and rights, but I think that your rights and status exist to ensure their freedom. .
Then, secondly, freedom is not the opposite of rights. The two are not an either-or relationship, but the interdependence of you in me and me. The British philosopher Locke said that in the natural state before the formation of society, people's lives were lonely. People need society in order to maintain their basic right to survive. Therefore, the right to fail to provide freedom is a right to fail and a useless machine.
The war was unfavorable, and the cunning King of England sent his daughter-in-law to be a lobbyist with the intention of buying Wallace with land and gold. Arriving at the front line of the beacon, the beautiful and just princess said with no confidence that the king suggested that you stop the offensive and retreat. He will give you the title of nobility and give you prosperity and wealth. Wallace sneered and said, fiefdom, knighthood...and gold...are you going to turn me into Judas? The princess quickly explained, isn't this how peace comes? "That's how slaves come." Wallace retorted her extremely firmly.
Third, if it is freedom that can be bought by material, it must not be true freedom. Freedom is born with us. It accompanies our birth and death. It cannot be taken away. And we, the trapped beasts of the new century, often feel unfree because we have renounced our freedom.
Under the looting of material civilization, too many people yearn for something for nothing and become ambitious. Not to mention that the collective depravity of women all want sugar daddy, don't all men want to conquer Bai Fumei. We watch the same TV, think about the same issues, and have almost the same values. We are helpless and helpless in this world. Moreover, we don't even realize that we have become insensitive. As long as we don't touch our own interests, no matter how many human tragedies happen, we can just hang on top of ourselves. Without a righteous heart, there are only people who agree with others.
Freedom, equality, or the right to be a human being, sometimes you can only deceive yourself.
Lu Xun said long ago that China has only two eras. One was a dynasty that temporarily settled down as a slave, and the other was a dynasty that couldn't ask for slavery. Obviously, this is an era where slaves are firmly established.
We hate to be classified as three or six or nine in this society, yet we unconsciously treat people around us with a class perspective. Just like some front desks, they are not short, they are young and invincible, and they are definitely beloved guys on the street, but every time you go to get a courier, do a small business, etc., she owes you something. With her appearance of fifty million, she throws what you want onto the table very impatiently, so that people can't help but shudder. Looking back, to the person who had a little title, his mouth was like wiping honey, "you" and "you" kept greeting. In fact, I have always liked that when I first came to the company to report to the company, the small front desk, when we first arrived, we sat in the lounge with affection. At this time, she brought tea with a smile on her face and warmly. Greetings and greetings, you suddenly feel that this tall place also has its warmth. Usually, when I meet her occasionally, she always has a smile on her face. She is just right and familiar, not the kind of bluffing. Later, because of her good performance, she was transferred to another department, but it didn't take long before she left. The gossip is that she was strongly excluded from the new department and made the decision to leave as a last resort.
Probably from Robert (that is, the prince of Scotland, different from the straw prince of England, he is a handsome prince full of justice and vision, who sees Wallace as a hero) cruelly yelling "No" until the end of the film. , I kept crying. The Scottish aristocracy and the English aristocracy colluded and handed over Wallace, who had come alone for help, to the brutal royal family. Robert did not know it. This was the second time he had betrayed Wallace, but he had no choice but to do so. Too powerful, as long as most people are ignorant, his role is at best a spokesperson, a veritable puppet.
Under severe torture, Wallace refused to say the word "forgiveness". The crowd went from cheering to instinctively booing mercy, chanting "forgiveness (mercy!)", but in the end Wallace only used the word "forgiveness". The remaining last breath shouted out what he pursued most in his life-"Freedom!" (Freedom!)
The clapping crowd and the brutal torture make it easy to think of a Chinese martyr. On March 5, 1970, Beijing youth Yuluoke was sentenced to death by the Beijing Intermediate People’s Court for “counter-revolutionary crimes” for refuting the absurd “blood theory”. Jubilant to the incredible scene.
Bei Dao wrote in the "Manifesto-To Yuluoke Martyrs":
Maybe the last moment has come.
I did not leave a will and
only a pen. I
am not a hero for my mother.
In the era without heroes,
I just want to do it. one person.
Today, it is also an era without heroes. In fact, we all want to have the right to be humans, but it seems that we have become stable slaves.
