The poor/rich motivations

Flo 2022-01-28 08:33:44

There is two sides of this movie. One side is the killer. He thinks he is leading an organization that helps or saves people. The other side is the survivor, who feels incomplete, lost, physically and mentally struggle, and finally stand up for his trial - he has family, friends, love, hope while the killer is completely alone.

When I watched this movie, I have fears. The fear that how apathetic the killer's face is. He seems complete chill in the trail. As he said, he was completing the mission that he was given to release the people. I feel scared and it also makes me think about my thoughts about freedom of the sexual minority group. We all want to have freedom and hope. Living in a circumstance without validating environment can be threatened and hopeless. That was my motivations and hope for so long and put me here.

I think now my mission is how to create my own validation environment for myself and others too. I hope to create the safe zone that we can be ourself, but also have family, friends, dreams and love.

    3.5 Although on the whole, the central idea of ​​"we can fight terrorism if we still have love" has become less and less convincing, but the film of Green Grass is compared with the same theme in terms of technique and gradual brewing of emotions. The "Patriot Day" of "Patriot Day" is a bit higher: if there is a need for a summary statement, it will be more natural to appear in court than the sudden emotion when the police arrest the bad guy, and it will not cause any embarrassment. This movie has already made the far-right aspects quite clear. It would be better if the political attitudes of young people’s summer camps were said more, such as whether the local Labour Party is more democratic and liberal, rather than the number one enemy of the far-right. — What about the communists? ?

    The appeal of the 65/100 story is online, and I cried several times during the viewing process, but the angle of Green Grass's portrayal of the whole incident did not make the film play a clearer logical context than the incident itself, and it was even slightly cliché.

  • Lara: How are you feeling?

    Viljar: I'm okay. And you?

    Lara: Yeah. I'm fine. I was in the shower block when it started, so I managed to run and hide. But I got separated from my sister Bano. I'm sorry about Simon and Anders, too.

    Viljar: It's shit.

    Lara: How is the food here? Is it okay?

    Viljar: It's pretty shit, too. Actually, it's *really* shit.

    Lara: If you want, I can bring you something. Food, or anything.

    Viljar: No. No, I'm fine. I don't have much appetite.

    Lara: Do you want anything else? Cigarettes or...

    Viljar: That would have been nice.

    Lara: Okay.

    Viljar: ...Except I don't smoke.

  • Judge Wenche Arntzen: Can you tell us what happened to you on Utøya, Viljar?

    Viljar: Yes.

    [has a flashback in his head]

    Viljar: He tried to... he tried to kill me. I remember... seeing him... and then running away... trying to find somewhere to hide, and protecting my little brother. I remember being shot. Five times. When I was lying on the beach, I was... all alone. In a kind of pain I couldn't imagine.

    Judge Wenche Arntzen: But now you are here.

    Viljar: But everything's different. I've had to relearn how to use my body. Learn how to walk again. How to feed myself again. I have little use of my left arm, and I'm... I'm blind on one eye. But that's, uh... that's a relief.

    Judge Wenche Arntzen: A relief. How do you mean?

    Viljar: [laughs shakily] A relief, in a way that at least now I don't have to look at him.

    [some of the people in the audience laugh briefly]

    Viljar: But of course it's not that simple. I... I have a fragment of his bullet lodged in my brain that could kill me at any time. And I don't look like the person I used to anymore, I... My body, it's... it's broken. And the worst is that he... he killed Anders and Simon, my best friends. Stopping them from making their mark on the world, and... and they would have made it a better place. And I... I miss them every day. I'm sorry, I... I didn't... I didn't want to cry. I so much didn't want to cry in front of him. I... I wanted to stay strong. Because I do this for them. So they will not be forgotten. And when you shot them and left me alone on the beach, I didn't know if I was living or dying. And I've been stuck there ever since. But now... I realize that I got a choice. Because I still have a family... and friends... and memories. Dreams. Hope. And love. And he doesn't. He's... completely alone. And he's going to rot there in prison, whereas I... I survived. And I choose to live.
