There is nothing more important than Greek drama

The review of the film is not the focus of this small article, the point is that I found a shining point in the content of the film.

At the beginning of the film, the US military stationed in Okinawa and the Vietnam War started, which made Japanese students also excited, so there was the street fight we saw.

But when the students who were keen on sports returned to the classroom and asked the teacher who taught the lesson what was more important, our teacher who taught ancient Greek drama replied indifferently and categorically:

I don't think there is anything better than Greek drama . more serious problems.

This episode left a deep impression on me, because he naturally reminded me of Milan Kundera's episode in "The Book of Laughing and Forgetting", the story is that during the Prague Spring, when all the people were When caring about tanks on the street, a mother really cared about her pear tree most. Nothing is more important than that pear tree.

All of this, in fact, is nothing more than putting a long-standing unanswered proposition before us. What is the most important thing?

Since there is no answer, naturally there is no need for discussion. There are just many such examples out there for us to judge.

In a chaotic moment, Kafka didn't care about wars, world peace, he cared about the inconspicuous little things around him. At a certain chaotic moment, Mr. Qian Zhongshu did not write any manifesto, but left us a "Besieged City".

I can't say what they did was right, but I felt like I had to raise my hands to support the teacher who insisted on doing well in class. Because he insists on taking classes, not only because it is his free choice, but also his responsibility.

Really, there is nothing more important than Greek drama.

    I don't want to live anymore when I see Watanabe-kun. I would say that once a good novel is made into a movie, the movie will easily die miserably. Too charming words cannot be reflected in images
