A call for peace and responsibility

The movie "Thirteen Days" tells the story of the White House crisis caused by the Soviet Union's deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba. Through the calm and calm response of US President Kennedy, he fought wits and courage with the Soviet Union and the White House to effectively and successfully deal with the crisis, thus avoiding a crisis. The story of a looming global nuclear war. This film has rich and profound connotations, showing the concepts of peace, faith, justice, mission, trust, and responsibility with a broad perspective and delicate techniques. This book was recommended by a friend and viewed as how the United States responds to emergencies. Through the film, you can see how the White House responds to crises through democratic and efficient decision-making and execution mechanisms, and you can also see the diverse ideas, methods and means of dealing with crises. . It can also be seen how, when faced with the Prisoner's Dilemma, how the two sides can break through the dilemma and return to negotiation through temptation and through the third channel. But this is only a technical means, far from enough. The movie most wants to show that when human beings are facing a nuclear crisis, whether the president or the civilians, whether it is to the country or to the family, are particularly helpless and insignificant, showing the expectation of human peace and the firm belief in mission. , love of country and life. I really like the motto on Kennedy's desk at the end of the film, which reads "The sea is so great and my boat is so small" (the sea is vast and my boat is so small), in the face of human society, nature, In the face of the future and the unknown, everyone is a drop in the ocean, very small, so we must always be in awe. Kevin Costner is a veteran American actor. In the play, whether as Kennedy's special assistant or the head of the family, he plays very delicately. The actor who played Kennedy is very similar to Kennedy, very handsome, and he performed his calm and responsible role in a crisis, which is quite admirable, but unfortunately I don't know the name of the actor.

    Although it is an American cultural output, it is really tense from the perspective of the movie, and the plot is compact and coherent. I did not expect that a movie with a political theme can be so good.
