About betrayal

In 2000, Harbin was not as popular as it is now to watch movies, but I was almost obsessed with the movies in 1999-00 because I was in love at that time.
It was a colleague who recommended me to watch this movie, and dragged my boyfriend to join in.
The story itself isn't that compelling, but it's a film that keeps you going.
Investigating a bloody case, with the deepening of the case, the mystery is revealed little by little. People do whatever they can for their desires, and the despicableness of human nature can be seen everywhere. When she was a young female officer, she was revenge for her excellence and was gang-raped. However, what really hurt and defeated her was not the event itself, but her father's betrayal.
At that time, I did not understand the true meaning of betrayal. Is betrayal more intolerable than inhuman torture?

Recently, I have been thinking about the "betrayal" a lot, and because of this, I feel that I understand the essence of this film more and more. Besides betrayal, what else is unbearable?
How can you face life with enthusiasm if the person you trust most betrays you? Your pillar has collapsed, what can you hope for? People need belief and rely on, and no one can exist independently in society.
The destructiveness of betrayal can be immeasurable.
Everything in this world is relative, and if there is sincerity, there will be betrayal.
If the betrayal is unavoidable, I hope I don't know.

    It's tragic. West Point Military Academy is the best school in the United States, and I didn't expect it to be. But at least no one from West Point School rushed out after watching the movie and said that the movie "insulted them and hurt their feelings." John's performance is average, and it is more appropriate to play the villain, haha.

    I actually saw it in the cinema before.

The General's Daughter quotes

  • [Bransford sits down as Sunhill continues to accuse Bransford of the Elisabeth Campbell rape]

    Sunhill: I know you weren't the leader.

    Capt. Bransford: If you say so, Miss Sunhill. But I really do not know what in the world you're referring to.

    Sunhill: You're too weak to have started it. You're just a guy who's gotten by on his smile and his charm. It's a good smile, but you could never lead a rape.

    Capt. Bransford: Well, that sure is good to know.

    Sunhill: Elisabeth Campbell was murdered 36 hours ago. Staked out with tent pegs and strangled. So I'm going to ask you my question again, Captain Bransford. How scared are you right now?

  • [Sunhill shows Captain Bransford an evidence bag of women's underwear]

    Sunhill: Amazing scientific changes in the last few years, Captain, wouldn't you agree?

    Capt. Bransford: I wouldn't know.

    Sunhill: In certain fields, it's been incredible.

    Capt. Bransford: If you say so.

    Sunhill: Like DNA... If it's there, it's there forever. But then you probably already knew that.

    Capt. Bransford: [Bransford looks back at the underwear] Those are hers aren't they?

    Capt. Bransford: [Bransford gets silent before staring up at Sunhill, then opening up to tell her the truth of the rape at West Point] I tried to stop it. I did everything I could, but they hated her. They hated her so much. They hated that she was smarter than them, they hated being out there with someone who had to squat to piss. I tried to save her. I did everything I could, but I couldn't make them stop!
