Democracy and freedom are the most flashy things

Freddie is ideal. My impression of the inside of the media industry is probably that I was deceived by these movies and TV series. Extremely longing to do things in such a swift and resolute manner, following the clues of events like a detective, who can fight for the so-called truth to the end even if he is on the edge of some danger; he is uniquely observant, he can see things in his eyes that others cannot see, and his words are straight to the point; Rich emotions and knowledge, have their own strong beliefs. Seeing the blood boil. Including others like Insider and All the President Men. Then I felt that such people were indeed not many, and they seemed to be useless in a peaceful and prosperous world. And myself now, like Bell said about her mother, Egypt has taken over the Suez Canal Company, and you're still in charge of those skirts. Or like Hector, newspapers only read the front page and the sports page, I don't even read the entertainment page now, what does that have to do with me. So, the reality is far from what it is.
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".

    Although the plot is not as compact and eye-catching as the second season, it is still very coherent, with climaxes and climaxes, and it is still unfinished. give it a like. Ben, I love you.
