it's a cruel world

The author narrates this story full of "stains" from the perspective of a bystander. Reality and memory alternately answer the questions buried in each person and every sentence. After reading the whole article, I feel a sudden realization. Everything that everyone does can be answered by "humanity" (and society is also constructed out of "humanity"). The discussion of human nature, combined with the context specific to that era, makes the story incredibly real. Because of his ex-girlfriend's betrayal, Shock decided to stand in the world as a white man; his ex-girlfriend decided to break up because of Shock's black identity; his mother and sister would not stay away from each other because of Shock's ruthlessness; For his own benefit, he separated his relationship with Shock, and only after his death did he dare to do something to make up for the condemnation in his heart; the students provoked racial incidents in order to divert the topic of truancy; Fornia because of Shock's sincerity Decided to be with him. Family, love, and friendship are all true manifestations of human nature.
The only thing left to regret about the movie is the motivation for the whole story. Haven't read any American books on racism, but in any case, it's unbelievable to depose a school principal who worked so hard for a second translated word, and at the same time, the teachers promoted by Shock can actually watch With these things happening, human nature should not be wiped out like this.
Finally, I sighed with emotion about the performances of the director, actor, and actress, especially Hopkins, who was full of rage and despair, as well as the unique temperament of the elderly who did not panic.
Should the thriller of the PS label be changed to suspense?

    I really don't know what to say after watching it. . . Perhaps this kind of film that examines human nature is not to my taste. . .

    Covering up the truth of one's own race, living in endless lies, miserable. The story involves too many subjects, racial status, long-term love, cowardice and lies. Repeatedly mentioning the background of the Clinton scandal in which the incident took place did not bring a good mapping to the plot, but rather messed up the content. "She wasn't my first love, and she wasn't my favorite, but she was definitely my last."

The Human Stain quotes

  • Young Coleman Silk: [giving eulogy] Cowards die many times before their death; the valiant only taste death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.

  • Nathan Zuckerman: Coleman, every mistake a man can make usually has a sexual accelerator. The things that restore you can also destroy you.
