It would also be wrong to say that there is no halo at all.
At the very least, the body of a mature woman will always be a puzzle-like temptation to ignorant teenagers. When the boy trembled and said that you were really beautiful, you couldn't tell whether he was completely captured or whether he had started to learn to please him involuntarily. Just to this place, it's just an ordinary routine, the royal girl Zhengtai, began to tune.
At first, they have sex, and then he reads to her. Later, he reads to her first, and then has sex.
It seems that the position is slowly turning around, she needs him, but more.
But she still left.
If it was only that summer, then Michael would easily euphemize this encounter when he hugs a certain woman in the future. This boy is just a bright memory in Hanna's mediocre life.
But met again. For Michael, it was in court, that stinging scene. For Hanna, it was that warm voice when there was no expectation.
Once tempted can be forgotten, goodbye will never be able to extricate themselves.
That scene must have had too much impact on him. It's hard to say that in the decades that followed, even when he recorded her one after another, he was in love with her. And he became everything to her, but when she said goodbye, although she stretched out her hand, she called him child.
The complexity of feelings is that sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes you come up with a reason and think it's okay, but it doesn't. You don't even know if you love her or not. But I tossed and turned, just because I saw it once, I thought it would be over, but when you reappeared many years later, the wall in my heart still fell to the ground with such a bang.
----------------------------
The most terrifying part of the long-term war and aggression is that when a certain extreme experience becomes the norm, and the people living in it adapt to survive, a certain degree of alienation in their hearts is almost unavoidable and deeply rooted.
Hanna is an ordinary person with no political consciousness. Bit by bit, she is kind and longing for beauty in the usual sense, and the sense of shame and vigorous desire from education go hand in hand with her.
When she asked sincerely and helplessly in court, "What would you do if you changed it?" What she didn't understand was that in the face of that chaotic scene, since it was necessary to do her due diligence to maintain order, what else could she do? What to choose? She couldn't imagine that if she opened the door and people would flee in all directions, that would be unacceptable to her.
When such a logical chain that cannot be crossed for the parties is formed, it is obviously not enough to prosecute the crimes of the specific perpetrators by legal principles. I even think that the roaring crowd surrounded by layers in the courtroom is better than the judges who are constantly asking questions. Hanna's answer is even more jarring.
Of course she is guilty.
But when a certain tacit consensus was reached in the small space of the trial hall, all the spearheads began to simply point at this woman, and I seemed to see everyone quietly relieved. Evil is stripped away. But the real problem was quietly moved away by someone who had nothing to do with him.
The law is narrow.
No matter how the punishment is, whether she repents or not, the deceased is gone. More important than accusation is understanding.
Why would such a good-natured ordinary person justifiably commit a heinous crime?
Digression:
The danger of the concept of the masses is that, whether positive or negative, the group spirit is very easy to contaminate and strengthen each other, thereby controlling the individual. It is easy for people to lose their judgment in fashion. As a social animal, few people can bear the fragility brought by physical and mental independence. Seeking resonance is the craving of everyone who is close to the source. After the resonance is obtained, the individuals who are still different begin to imitate and revise each other according to the resonance, and finally form an inviolable group consciousness that transcends the individual.
When the Tibet issue broke out, through the videos on Youtube of Chinese expatriates organizing a protest together, after a liar of denunciation, I often saw a scene similar to a group carnival, yes, we are united because of this . But when individual Westerners trying to seriously discuss the Tibet issue are directly surrounded and drowned in the liar's cries, you can see that when a group consensus is reached, the surging spiritual inspiration does not allow any questioning voice to exist. The penetration of simple slogans like concepts is extremely powerful. Regardless of the stance, there is no significant difference in this phenomenon between the hong wei bing with relatively low educational level and the group of international students who generally have multicultural higher education.
The more you write, the more complicated it becomes:
On the other hand, people have the need to protect themselves, so following the trend and surrendering the right to independent judgment is often a simpler and more efficient choice. Human judgment is always and has to be swayed by the media. So the so-called maintaining independent thinking, sometimes it is easy to say but difficult to implement. An "educational" environment is formed where the sources of information are all controlled and the same information is highly shared. People are curious, but impatient. They jump out of this environment and go back to the source to re-examine. It is unreasonable and impossible to ask most people to do it.
With the rapid development of IT, the full diversify that people imagined due to the information explosion did not happen. for convenient gathering.
Going back to the film, it is hard to say that Hanna was brainwashed by the Nazis, because this woman did not show any interest in politics and grandeur from the beginning to the end. The only thing she deeply regrets is that she is illiterate, and all she yearns for is beauty and waves. s story. What's more striking is that it seems that the rest of the women who are on trial with her are just ordinary people with little fantasies in their mediocre lives, and they don't have too many fanatical marks on them. I think that's the finishing touch, mediocre people, who aren't even directly provoked, still behave in extreme circumstances that are completely inhuman when we talk.
Don't think highly of human nature.
