At the end of the play, Freddie complained loudly in front of the camera: "if we cannot debate that which troubles our society, and more importantly troubles our government, then we cannot in all honesty call ourselves a democracy. If we cannot question our leaders as they embark on what has been called an illegal military action,...Then we are not a free -" and he was forcibly terminated before he finished speaking. It is indeed a very provocative sentence, and it is true to a certain extent. People are relentlessly pursuing the truth, the pursuit of democracy and freedom, as it should be. However, I suddenly felt that these words were very powerless, because they were said too much by too many people and became powerless. Democracy and freedom sound good, but where are they? No matter where, it seems that as long as everyone wields a different amount of power, they cannot be ideally realized. Now which country dares to say that it has realized the "imagined" democracy and freedom? Were they talked about in our passionate and rebellious youth, and then forgotten as we get older?
So I still avoid it, like the place where this drama ends, it is daily life and personal small emotions. Love that Freddie and Bell say "I hate you" to each other. Love that he calls her "Moneypenny" and she responds to him "James".
